I just stopped by Cabelas in Idaho and picked up a 500 count box of Hornady HAP .451 230 gr for 88 dollars. They are having a 20% off sale it seems. They also have the prices on their website in case you want to load up on bullets for your winter reloading chores. bob

You should join me on any given night. I am an RN that works in an Emergency Room. Whatever happened to the old addage that your mother taught you? You know, the one where she says put on clean underwear in case you end up in the hospital! Well, I don't think anyone's mother teaches that...

I have noticed that some guns have the S&W rollmark on the left sideplate and others have it on the right sideplate. I looked in the SCSW and it doesn't seem to be covered. What I would like to try and find out is when the rollmark placement changed from one side to the other. Or did it depend...

My next door neighbor passed away suddenly a few days ago. He was a retired AF O-5. He was young, 51 years old. He is unmarried and had no kids. He did have a girlfriend for the last 5 months or so. As far as we can figure out he had no will and had made no prior arrangements as to the...

Locally there is an ad running on a board: I have sent several messages and the only answer I have gotten so far is that it is a pinto. I have asked for detailed pics, questions about the box and tools and S&W letter but haven't gotten anything back yet. So, is there a long barreled...

I have a line on a FN 308 Mag (norma 308 mag). It is a Mauser action, marked FN with a date of 1951. It has a 4x Leupold scope on it, probably from the 60's/70's It is a nice looking rifle, I just can't seem to find a value on it anywhere. Here is a pic of the rifle. I would have to restock...

We have a small group of people here who get together on a semi-regular basis and clean up public ranges so that we can keep them open. After the clean up we usually have a BBQ and a lot of shooting. It is amazing the different guns you can see and use when there are 20-30 people bringing out...

Every time I see a thread that involves the 45 Colt and the S&W model 25-x (usually 25-5) I see a reference to measuring cylinder throats. I have an Austin Behlert 25-5 that I am going to start reloading for, and I would bet the throats are just fine....but.. do I really know? So, if someone...

I am looking at a 44mag, but it is something of a puzzle to me. It is marked 29-5. But, it has a 6" half lug barrel, a ramp on ramp red front sight, a fluted cylinder and is a square butt. It is not the 29-5 classic with the full lug. It also has 3T's. Ser# is BPA 64XX Any ideas? I am...

Locally there was a Nickle Model 37 (snub) for sale. It looks NIB, and has everything that came in the box with it. I posted a pricing question here and got what I figured to be a couple of good answers, they were in line with what I thought the price should be. I also told him the SCSW value of...

I am looking for opinions on what a Nickle Model 37, vintage 76/77 that looks NIB with all papers, etc would be worth. I feel the guy is more than a little overpriced...but I may be wrong so I would like to get some opinions. If this gun isn't NIB then I doubt the cylinder has been turned...

I recently fell for the buy one, get one free promo Nosler was running for their Custom Competition Match ammo in 308. I figured half price would be a good time to see how it works. I decided to weigh and measure 20 of them tonight against 20 Winchester Silvertips I have to see if they were...

Backstory, yesterday we went to an area of WA renowned for apples, pears and peaches, along with german food and beer. I bought a box (big box) of fresh, ripe peaches. So far so good. I have so many peaches I decided to make a cobbler tonight. Well, in a moment of who knows what I thought my...
