    Trail Boss and jacketed bullets are a no go

    I believe you are making my point for me. When you fire a cast bullet (being a softer metal), it obtrudes to the bore (lands and grooves), thereby causing more drag (or friction) than a harder copper alloy jacketed bullet. This is demonstrated in practice by initial pressures being higher in...

    Trail Boss and jacketed bullets are a no go

    The hardness of a metal is not the same as the friction it may or may not produce in a given circumstance.

    Trail Boss and jacketed bullets are a no go

    I apologize for not stating my point more clearly. A jacketed bullet would create less friction in a barrel than a cast bullet. The cast bullet would odurate to the bore and and cause higher pressures, friction (in the barrel) and require reduced powder loads due to higher pressures. The...

    Your in a auto accident and injured, wonder what happens to your gun

    Trail Boss and jacketed bullets are a no go

    Theoretically a jacketed bullet would produce less friction than a cast lead bullet so it should transverse the barrel (rifling) more easily. The problem is probably a reloading mistake, not the use of Trail Boss.

    My low-tech return to reloading.

    Your post brought back some great memories. I used a 310 tong tool from junior high to college to load .357's. Cast my bullets from wheel weights picked up at tire shops. They were free then. Didn't size the bullets, but lubed them in mason jar lid and cut them out cookie cutter style. I...

    .380 Help

    I recently acquired the Browning 1911 380. It's about 80% the size of a regular 1911 and a blast to shoot at the range. I consider it a tack driver with little recoil.

    Switchblades

    You are correct in that Texas state law supersedes municipal codes. San Antone and Plano have acknowledged the law and switchblades (under Texas restrictions) are no longer illegal in their cities

    Your favorite gun-- you never EDC?

    I like the 105 howitzer loaded with canister, but the local police department shut me down after my last shooting. Too much collateral damage they said! What wussies!

    Not sure how I feel yet about this 13-1 purchase I just made

    I've bought some guns at a steal, some at a reasonable price, and some that were overpriced. The only regrets I have are for some that I should have bought, but didn't.
