    Big Game/Safari Rifles - Let's see them...

    Shooting the Ma-Duce puts a grin on your face ear to ear in full Auto. The only other big Machinegun to do that for me was the MK-19. That thing with HDPE rounds was no fun for those on the receiving end when they were taking shots at you and hiding behind mud/adobe walls. :D:D:D

    Rugged light weight boots.

    I just bought a pair of Merrill hiking shoes/boots to replace the pair I had had for several years. I can't even wear these without my arches hurting so bad I can barely walk the next morning. I had the same thing happen with a pair of Danner hiking boots that had nothing but great reviews...

    Mount Rainer found being dragged to Texas see last post

    I haven't been back to the PI since the whole pandemic nonsense started. The wife is from there and we have built a house in the Province where she is from. If you're going to be in Manila there is plenty to do as it's very Americanized. Lots of traffic and lots of people there. Like was...

    Rugged light weight boots.

    While I was in the Army I was issued a pair of Danner Ft Lewis boots. After that I wore Danner boots for all my hunting and work boots. I had a sole blow out on a Deer hunt while about 2 miles away from Camp. By the time I got to camp the other sole let go and I had to walk back to camp with...

    Big Game/Safari Rifles - Let's see them...

    SmithNut, I had a 350 Rem Mag Model 7 almost exactly like that. It was bone stock but man was it a great gun. It's certainly one gun that I wish I never got rid of. It shot the 225gr Sierra like a dream. Like you said the gun is perfect for packing around. There is a guy I know that...

    Big Game/Safari Rifles - Let's see them...

    Being a lefty myself I am limited when it comes to left handed rifles. I was fortunate enough to find a left handed 375 Ruger Hawkeye African model on clearance at CDNN for a steal. It is very accurate and easy to find a load that works. So far i've killed a Wild Bull(Bovine) and a couple of...

    Key Holing 9 MM

    The two Glocks I have shoot Cast bullets as well as anything else. One is a 2nd Gen Model 23 40 S&W and the other is a Model 40 10MM. I treat them like the older Marlin "Micro grooved" barrels. Have to size them larger.

    Old reloads

    My friends father was a prepper of sorts and had thousands and I mean thousands of rounds of surplus 30-06 on Garand Clips, 45ACP that a lot of it was WWII era ammo, and 7.62 from Vietnam era. When he passed away in 2001-2002 I bought a bunch of the 45ACP and some of the 7.62X51(308). The 45...

    PRVI Partisan .38spl brass

    I have found Privi brass to be very good brass to load with. Especially when loading 303 Brit. It will last longer in my Brits than Winchester, Remington, or the Hornady brass does.

    Key Holing 9 MM

    I have noticed since I have switched from conventional lubing my cast bullets to powder coating them that my accuracy has improved considerably. There is little to no difference between my cast load and when I loaded Sierra bullets. I shoot these groups from my CZ Shadow II. I am shooting a...

    Key Holing 9 MM

    My guess would be undersized bullets. Slugging the bore of the guns would tell you what the diameter is. I've seen some 9mm barrels as large as .358 while most are around .355-.356. Typically it's best to shoot cast bullets that are sized .002 over the bore size. I shoot bullets anywhere from...

    The ultimate Highway Patrolman thread.including N frame ser# ranges

    I'm a new member as well and had a S&W Model 28. My great uncle (former Cpt in the ISP) had several and I bought one from him and absolutely loved it. I joined the Army and was sent over to Korea when my brother "borrowed" the gun and it was stolen when his truck was broken into at his...

    .45 Colt short cases

    I have loaded the Hornady 45-70, 45 Colt, and 357 that were loaded with their leverevolution bullets. The only difference I found was the need to adjust my die down to seat and crimp the bullets in the crimping groove on my bullets. For that reason I sort the brass and save them for the last...

    Hey!!! Dillon press owners

    New Guy here, I've been reloading since I was around 13 years old(approaching 50). Learned on a RCBS Rock Chucker. When I moved back home to be around all of my Relatives my uncles had Dillon Presses. One uncle had a couple 550 loaders and the other had a 650 I think it was. It auto...
