OH MY VIRGIN EYES :shock: ....actually, good show! Coyotes been eating all the baby pheasant chicks on my best hunting ground the past few years. Although it makes me mad I can't fault the coyote for doing what coyote's do. But I can carry a side arm when I hunt birds to help Mother nature "Bal...

I just have to say Mr. Murbach, your posting in lower case has got my center of gravity all wacked out. I can't seem to concentrate and lately I walk with a slight list to the left. I sure hope that you get well soon, recover from this malady that has afflicted you of late and return the earth's mag...

Fred, Nice to hear you are wanting to expand your shooting pleasure by hand loading your own ammo. I am so glad that I took the plunge several years ago and learned to hand load my ammo. I now load about a dozen different cartridges and have learned volumes about our sport BECAUSE I took up loading....

Up to Fremont today? If I remember that show was this weekend. Last time I went I ended up with a nice Win. 92 25-20 rifle circa 1918...I thought about going but with the Marlin .357 coming in form TNBigBore and the new rear tine tiller and weed eater that I picked up this week I had better stay awa...

Griff, Your words about your dad and his passing are a testimony to the love you shared with him. I felt exactly the same peace when my father died too young going on 7 years this October. I remember speaking the same way about my feelings when he passed and those feelings of peace only grow stronge...

Oh my gosh. I just had a flashback to a "hair on a biscuit" and a "1911 thread"

That was it. I knew I was not dreaming this up.

Thanks!

Ok, Unless this came to me in a dream

I seem to remember reading about a cartridge that was a 30-40 Krag blown out to a .40 krag. Basically a pretty straight walled cartridge using 30-40 krag brass.

Is there or was there such a cartridge? Any info would be great.

All I have on hand are Winchester Small Pistol Mag Primers and I have been using them with 5.2grns of Universal Clays under a 125 grn Hornady. These are loaded in 38 special cases. Shoot them out of my SP101 .357 mag. They seem to me to run about like a 38 +P or so.
No problem in my gun.

I remove the safety from my cross bolt 94s. When I trade or sell them I re-install the safety.

Thanks Guys Lots of good info and ideas here. I have some time to mull this over and see what comes up. I went out to the local Cabelas today just to look around and handle some BLR's etc... :roll: and as usually happens I ended up walking out with a new gun. Funny thing was it was not a BLR but a S...

Any experience out there shooting the 270 Winchester with 90 or 100 grn bullets. Accuracy, Recoil, etc. Why the question: I have been thinking on a new rifle :mrgreen: , something to shoot lighter bullets for the coyote or small deer size critter. Something easier on the recoil so my 9year old can g...

DarryH,

I'm a Cornhusker, also in the Omaha area. I'm a member out at Weeping Water GC, when I joined WWGC years ago Eastern Nebraska had a waiting list or I may have ended up there.

I've run across a half dozen Nebraska folks on here, some post only occasionally.

Yep Ted T is sure got his sights set on that area. That trip up the highway north going out of Mullen is pretty. We stayed on the ranch of Jim and Pat Bridges, very nice folks.

It'll sit in your outbox until the person you sent it to opens/reads it. That way you know when it has been read.
It has already gone to the receiver, it just doesn't look like it has.

Been looking for 158grn XTP/HP bullets around my town for what seems like months now with no luck. Even picked up 500, 125 grainers to get me started this past week.

Thanks all, sounds like the 358156 might be a good one to try. Jacketed 158 grn bullets are pretty hard to come by around here, even online I was not able to locate any.

JerryB, AJMD429 You"ll get hooked :twisted: Once you shoot the Bisley, especially with a heavier recoil load, you will want one, or two, or more in your own gun safe. This gun was my first Ruger revolver, a Vaquero 44mag from a local pawn shop. It had the standard grip frame so once I started b...

Thanks Buckeyeshooter,

Did you notice a considerable difference in the powders? These heavy bullets won't be for bench rest shooting so I need Minute of Critter at say 150 yds.

Thanks O.S.O.K I have some of those powders so I may give them a try. I was thinking about that barrel break in also. This is a new barrel that DC put on the revolver. I did run a few 250 Keith, 240 Hornady and 300 Hornady 44 mag loads through it the other day just to see if all was working well and...

Jason, I have a 270 load that is pretty much a 30/30 equivalent if you hand load. Very accurate. I shoot it out of my Ruger #1 .270 winchester using 150 grain round nose bullets (cuz I got a ton of them) I have not clocked it but it probably runs at 2000fps or less. PM me if you want the load, it's ...

I have heard that starting next year we will be able to carry firearms in national parks. I am guessing concealed if you have a CCW and open carry if you don't.

Thanks Pete, Very interesting info there. What is the history/purpose of the FMJ bullet, was it get more penetration on military targets (human and otherwise) or was it just more economical to produce?

Thanks again Joe. I figured this might be the case. Maybe I'll just do some tradin with the Garand shooters out at the club next time I go shooting.

Thanks Joe, I don't know anything about "ball" ammo. I'm guessing it is for military rifles and probably for Garands, is that correct? Do you know anything about the bullets used, they don't look like the type that would expand like a hunting bullet. And is this brass something that could ...

Grizz, Thanks a bunch for the great info. I was wondering about the slow rifling in my 94 Trapper, it is the older barrels and I think 1 in 20 (scratch that, it's 1:38).
