    My Stimulus Check - Spent....:)

    That is a great rifle, have shot a few and they all shot extremely well. You are going to be shopping for more scope when you get to stretching the legs of that rifle and caliber ...

    Blazer Brass, good or bad?

    Blazer brass is fine. It does not make power factor for USPSA but it shoots just fine.

    300 Blackout vs 5.56 chamber - Question

    I was on the firing line 4 lanes away with a guy who did exactly that ... fired a .300BO cartridge in a 5.56 barreled rifle. He was virtually unscathed and I was picking tiny bits of his rifle out of my head and arm for 6 months.

    how effective is tha 32 S&W long round

    If I had a gun chambered in .32 S&W Long, I would choose anything else that was close at hand. Using the gun itself as a bludgeoning instrument would be more effective than shooting it.

    Why are usa made knives so expensive?

    There are a lot of factors to consider. Type of knife is only part of the picture. For me, steel quality in the blade is the highest consideration. I don't use my knives hard but I use them a LOT. I need my blade to be able to take a good edge and keep that edge for a very long time...

    Curious about what my M29-2 might be worth.

    That should fetch $1500 pretty quick.

    The New Glock 44 Kaboom

    LOL if I had any friends that would be a great plan! Gotta be a double charge on reloads ... I wonder if Glock might be trying to diversify a little too much? Pursuing some tiny pieces of market share when they ought to stick to what they have mastered? Pretty much everything prior to G42...

    Economics of reloading

    For me, reloading to save money is only a very small part of why I do it. I have only been reloading for 25 years so I definitely still have a lot to learn. Last year I shot over 40k rounds of 9mm alone so there was definitely some economy of scale BUT all of these rounds were developed for my...

    Acetone/ATF-resistant container recommendations

    I haven't done a gun yet that doesn't fit inside a 1 gallon paint can so that's what I use for my acetone/ATF cleaner. .50 cal ammo can is a good idea as it has a flat bottom, would keep parts more tidy while soaking, would fit a larger firearm, and also would allow parts to be sloshed a bit to...

    340PD Range Day

    I do the same drill out to 10 yards. Then some steel plates at 25 yards slow fire. It's surprising how accurate these little guns can be.

    removing internal frame milling marks..

    I wouldn't try to do that as you will take the internal dimensions out of spec and potentially cause misalignment. Hopefully someone with more expertise will offer guidance ...

    Powder recommendation for 38 +P?

    FWIW, HS-6 under a 158 gr XTP is my .357 Magnum plinking load. HS-6 meters extremely well through my Dillon XL650.

    Assessing defensive handgun reliability

    The only guns that I have had BREAK while shooting were revolvers. The only guns that I have had suffer a malfunction that required gunsmith remedial action were revolvers. Lots of tiny, highly stressed parts in revolvers. FTF, FTE, stovepipe, light strike in a semi auto? IAD has gun back...

    Powder recommendation for 38 +P?

    HS-6 would be my #1 choice for .38 Spl +P, full charge under Hornady XTP. This is actually my absolute favorite load to take out and shoot. Extremely accurate with excellent performance on target, minimal recoil, minimal flash, very good performing but well-mannered load. VV N340 would be a...

    329PD Frame Wear

    I've only had one Airlite that didn't do that. They all seemed to get to a certain point that was cosmetic only then stop. My 329PD developed the mark much faster than the others did. Probably as quick as OP's but it's first range session was several hundred rounds so didn't really notice when...
