The shotgun thing won't work for us in the southwest. check out the video and then explain why it doesn't work in the SW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3rfYnfp-RM&feature=fvwp&NR=1 that's cylinder bore, smooth bore, ranged in and performing just fine with a 420+gr slug. and it can be load...

Grizz

plenty of penetration with the cast. that's so useful and interesting. it makes the cast load the only option for wife's gun. I'd love to see the comparison to the 147 gr fmjfp she carries, would you like me to send a few? In my waterjug tests, not the same thing BUT able to compare like to like, th...

12 ga, 'cause I can't afford to piss-off the bears

Grizz

I like that load a lot. do you cast the bullet? what's the bullet info?

is that the famous 11 gr unique load?

thanks for posting. there's a bunch of 45/70 cranks around here. some are crankier than others, not that there's anything wrong with that.........

11 grains, loose in the case, for about 1000 fps. It's subsonic, hardly no recoil. 11 grains of Unique can be used with any grain cast bullet and is the most accurate. If any 45-70 does not shoot with this load, get rid of the gun.----6 want to double-check, will this load expel a 525 gr bullet too...

sorry for your loss.

thank you for posting pictures, good memories to share.

I look forward to that Ted Did you notice in the video of the two hardball test, that it appeared to me that the roundball drifted out of line and exited the side or near to the side. The flat meplat appeared to me to go dead straight. I am curious about this because this is evidence of one of the s...

Here's more a recent test that I had not seen before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soNdX36P-3E I think that anyone poo-poo-ing the 380 should still not stand in front of one. think about it, the 9 mm, 380, 38spcl, and 357 are all shooting variations of the same bullet, and the 357 is renowned as a...

Grizz, I would be interested in reading that penetration thing about .380. Mescalaro, here's the data I was thinking of: http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/node/7866 compare the stats for the 9 to the 380 here's the 380 page from Steve's Pages http://www.stevespages.com/page8f380acp.html and here is th...

I lived closer to the canal, near 64th, went to arcadia hs. Used to climb to the top of Camelback at night to watch the planes at sky harbor. Used to climb into the caves in the daytime for some shade. used to roll boulders down the north face and fly model airplanes off the top. rarely ever saw any...

Grizz

My biggest complaint about .380 is that it is so popular, it's hard to find any ammo other than FMJ, and even that is scarce. That's why I have Ranch Dogs 380 mold. It's a dandy little flat nosed 100 grain bullet. I figured since those flat nosed hard cast hunting bullets of his work so well, then ...

Edit: after rereading it struck me that folks consider the Mini in what is often considered the accuracy class of a 30-30 lever. Yep; funny that for many levergunners (or others) to find a Mini-14 to be 'acceptable' it has to shoot under 2-3 MOA, on the other hand, many semiauto buffs (and others) ...

Mesa was actually a seperate community back then? Not only that, but there was nothing but desert on the north side of Camelback, all the way to Mayer. Folks died every year between there and Cave Creek. You could plink anywhere north of Squaw Peak, since renamed. Most of the places where we played...

Grizz

I used to poo-poo the 380 too, until I got my wife one and did a comparison to my 9mm and 45. The truncated cone fmj 380 penetrates to the same spot as the 9mm gold dots I carry. then too, the 380 has a better record as a fight stopper than I ever would have credited it. I posted that study before a...

I grew up shooting guns, coached by my Dad. When I was in high school I shot the first deer with a scoped Savage 99 .243. Have shot them with a variety of leverguns, bolt guns, and wheel guns since then. My son shot the first deer when he was about ten, with a Marlin 1894 .44 mag. He has shot game w...

I recommend beartoothbullets.com I've tried others and Marshall's are the best that I've found. I like to give cast bullets the hammer test, a whack or two with a 2# drilling hammer, the bullet on concrete. They don't crumble, and they don't deform in bone either. http://www.beartoothbullets.com/bul...

I tried the tarp thing but that was still not getting all of 'em

Grizz

Yeah it seems like a worthwhile thing to do. Does that reamer produce anything like a forcing cone or taper into the rifling, or is it abrupt like the saami chamber?

Grizz

I will be buying some lessons and a European Scythe this year. That's why I bought this one. I figure it is well made, most likely from before WW2. Perhaps the rendering company and farmers used these on butchering knives instead of a steel. I am looking into a scythe for the beach grass around my ...

In 9mm I tend to stick to 124/147gr HST or Golden Saber, in .45, 230gr Golden Saber (it's available, which HST is not around here) and in .40 either Gold Dot or HST. have you ever tested golden sabers in water or gel and compare to gold dots? .380 golden saber comes apart in water, gold dots just m...

The G-3 series rifle recoil more than an FAL. Not unmanageable, but noticeable. They're reliable, as long as nothing dents the receiver.....then it's done. I'll have to take your word on it. I may get to shoot an FAL this year though. I handled one and they are very comfortable and feel much more l...

My bear recurve is in Alaska, I haven't shot it for about 40 years. I couldn't shoot it now. I can lift 45# OK but I can't hold the bow to aim it. I think.

I like mine. I am following the break-in process, shoot one, clean copper out, shoot one, etc. Boring. I doubt I will be doing mag dumps when the barrel is seasoned. I bought a couple of 5 round mags that actually hold 4 comfortably, although you can force a 5th into it. They don't seem to be sniper...

I like it a lot. I like short guns with short LOPs. For me the 16 inch trapper length IS handier than the 18 and a half inch length of my guide gun. I normally carry barrel down with my hand in the lever. Two and a half inches does make it easier to get over the mossy logs, thru the muskeg sink hole...

For 38 +Ps, I use a 130 grain Winchester JHP. They have called them several different names.

I carry speer gold dots in towns. I tested the golden sabers and they all came apart and had poor penetration in water jug comparisons. that was in the .380 and I haven't bothered with them since.

the NEF guys are reaming their own barrels, making 45/90s out of 45/70s, and other caliber modifications. I've seen their pictorals and it looks pretty simple and straight forward.

I'm just miffed they gave up that touchdown. I think the coach didn't want to shut the broncos out. The defense didn't defend that entire drive.

It creates a leade. Sammi specs on this caliber don't allow for any leade. Just about every Miroku will have this problem. It shows up more using bullets with a wide meplate. Pointed bullets used in single shots allow for using heavier bullets without much of a leade. The lever guns cause havoc. It...
