"U.S. District Judge Gerald L. Russell on August 2, 2024, found numerous Maryland gun bans aimed at concealed carriers to be unconstitutional. After weighing the evidence, Russell sided with plaintiffs and granted Summary Judgment against Maryland's ban on concealed carry on private property...

In searching for powders and primers, I came across this link to a MAXAM reloading manual that I have not seen before. Might be useful to those of us that may still have some of the "gray market" CSB-1 from the last big shortage. Includes data for a lot of handgun calibers but for powders we...

http://www.ramshot.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/WesternPowdersHandloadingGuide8.0_WEB.pdf The print version of this one is now listed as out of stock. Pdf works fine for me as I can always cut and paste the one caliber I am interested in and print it on one or two pages.

What with Starline supplying brass in 357 Max, 414 and 445 I see no reason S&W could not sell thousands of revolvers in these calibers. We have not had good revolvers in the original supermags for decades. The market is there among us early adopters and silhouette shooters who have been making...

One old: Metallic Cartridge Nomenclature and one from the latest Handloader: There Are No .32, .38 or .44 Calibers When I first got into shooting I was bewildered by all the cartridge names and the fact that many times they don't accurately describe much of anything. This is probably a...

Oklahoma potentially on it's way to permitless concealed carry: Oklahoma House passes 'Constitutional Carry' gun bill "The Senate is expected to decide on the bill by next week, the representative said, adding that he thinks the chances of it passing are "pretty good." If passed, it will be...

I just got an email which offers a link to their new, free, reloading manual. Since they make only carbines for the 460, 475, and 500 magnum handgun rounds, that's what's in the manual. There are quite a lot of loads as well as bullets to stay away from in tubular magazines. There are also a...

44 Special: I have gone thru my notebooks for the last few years and assembled the data I consider reliable into a spreadsheet. Since the forum does not allow the direct posting of these I have converted it to a PDF. OpenOffice's PDF converter is not perfect but it is legible. I'll be updating...

Just noticed Midway is selling the newly stocked Speer 240 JSP (FP) for $.14 apiece. Speer has not been selling any of their 44 bullets for quite awhile except the plated SD numbers, notably the 200gr 44 special GDHP. I hope this means that maybe they will resurrect the 270 JSP that shot so well...

Just noticed there is an updated burn rate chart from Hodgdon dated 11-22-2016. It includes the new IMR line coming out in January. IMR Red, Green, Blue, Target, and Unequal (I do get a kick out of that one as they intended). Also on the list is CFE BLK for the 300 Blackout right between 1680...

On November 18, the Pentagon issued a Defense Department directive that will "allow Department of Defense (D0D) personnel to carry firearms and employ deadly force while performing official duties." Secretary of Defense Robert Work approved the directive. Pentagon to End Gun-Free Zones on...

Anyone else just get an unexpected, unordered, copy of Larry's book of stories? Not something I would buy but I'll probably read it. It's a well made hardcover and I cannot find anything about it in my account history. So it looks like they just sent it to me out of the blue. I can't be the only...

Maine Gov. Signs Bill Prohibiting Gun Bans in Public Housing - Breitbart Another step forward towards the universal right to self defense. I will never understand why anyone thinks diplomacy or running away is a viable means of defense in the face of deadly force.

What happens to this 7.62 bullet is quite dramatic. Metal foam obliterates bullets "We could stop the bullet at a total thickness of less than an inch, while the indentation on the back was less than 8 millimeters. To put that in context, the NIJ standard allows up to 44 millimeters indentation...

I whipped together to show the very beginnings of my latest project: the 44 Alaskan. This is simply the 450 Alaskan necked down to 44. I have not been able to find any references to this wildcat, but I am having a hard time believing I am the first one to think of this. If anyone knows anything...

I got an email today allowing me the privilege of pre-ordering a LabRadar for $560. Padded carrying case for $40. Yikes! LabRadar This still looks like a nice piece of kit especially for difficult jobs like chronographing shotguns but so pricey as to be out of reach for many of us. I hope it...

Hillview man arrested for shooting down drone; cites right to pr - WDRB 41 Louisville News I think the authorities acted a little (ok, a lot) over zealously, but they really have no current legal guidance. If it turns out we have no expectation of aerial privacy, our homes and the land they sit...

Governor Bentley orders ALDOT to remove 'no weapons' signs from - MyFoxAL.com - FOX6 WBRC Birmingham, AL Hopefully this is the beginning of folks wising up about not-so-safe-zones. Both my places of employment have those stupid signs on the buildings. One of them is an indoor sports arena that...

US Army Considering Switch to Hollow Point Ammunition From the article: "But are hollow points legal for military use? That was the question that many industry observers asked after the announcement. Contrary to popular belief, the United States was never a signatory to the 1899 Hague...
