    "The Revenant" film

    ^^^^^Got that right. Very unrealistic IMHO, as I've dumped a canoe in Early May in Canadian waters just after ice out - takes your breath away to say the least, water felt like silk relative to attempting the "swim crawl" toward shore with canoe in tow. Then attempting to find dry wood/pine...

    Model 41

    Thanks Jim, S&W rep couldn't give me a date but guessed the date would be around 1966/1968 after asking around. I'm good with your data and his, thanks again.

    Model 41

    I know I can get the date of manufacture by $100.00 with a letter requesting background data on my S&W but will try here 1st to see if anyone has the information they would like to share for just a thank you. It's a model 41, blue, 7.5" barrel, serial number 1106XX - just 6 digits for the...

    Scary milestone.

    Here's the scary part. Where is this pressure coming from where doctors are listing deaths as chicom virus related even when the individual hasn't tested positive, only shown to have similar symptoms? How about the push to recruit nurses from around the country to go to NYC to assist - they...

    500 Linebaugh Maximum

    A little history on this revolver. Revolver started life as a 375 Seville made by Jeffrey C. Munnell’s Group and was probably made in late 1984 or early 1985 because of the USA logo and that Munnell’s group still used the old numbering system for a short time period after purchasing the company...

    Shipping a firearm

    As previously stated, you, as a non FFL holder can't ship a handgun via USPS. If you don't have a FFL holder that will ship a handgun for you, then you need to ship via UPS or FedEx. If you don't have a FFL holder or a local gun shop that's willing to ship the handgun for a reasonable price...

    Trimming Rifle Brass

    I load for precision too and I've fired maybe 75/100 rounds at prairie dogs out 500 to 700 yards and I've actually hit a couple! I feel good just hitting the mound and getting the prairie dog confused, as to what's going on? I trim only when needed on standard chambers with a Hornady hand...

    45 ACP match ammo recipe assistance?

    May I suggest you spend just a little bit of money and switch to 185 grain Zero jacketed bullets in front of 4.2 grains of Vihtavuori N-310.

    Long range shooters/scopes

    This article will give you a good explanation of 1st and 2nd focal plane - the explanation starts around the 7th paragraph. https://rifleshooter.com/2017/05/schmidt-bender-5-25x56-pm-ii-sfp-review/ I don't think you'll find a better long rang scope than a Schmidt & Bender and if I was...

    I knew there were coyotes on the hunt land.

    Coyote population/size of litters is mainly determined by available food, meaning; when game is plentiful the litter size increases, when the pack grows and the food source becomes scarce, the litter size decreases. The only effective means of controlling the coyote is through poison, 2nd best...

    Insurance Umbrella Policy?

    1 Million really isn't like it use to be. There are some semi's rolling down the interstate with 10 million dollars worth of electronic equipment in the trailer. If you're on the road a lot and are worried about accidents - I'd look at 3 million maybe even 5 million depending on your area. 1...

    Hornady L&L dies and stations question

    You're thinking right the 1st time, DIYguy. Powder Cop is a warm fuzzy fee good item but if your powder measure works like mine - it drops a lot of powder spot-on and Varget and long stick powders close enough for government work. Never a squib or double charge - just pay attention when your...

    Case resizing lube.....

    I've tried dozens of case lubes over several decades of reloading from petroleum jelly to imperial wax and I've concluded Hornady one shot is the easiest (spray type) and as fast as anything - however, imperial wax is the best but it's slower and messy. I use Hornady for brass up to 223 and...

    .223 for the AR

    I have a 1:7 twist AR and I haven't found any powder that will shoot 52/53 grain bullets into a small group. With 55 grain I have found CFE223 to be the only powder to group small but only when loaded on the top-end using the Hodgdon reloading site. Mid-level loads shot poorly, like 3 inches...

    Red Dot On Carry Gun

    Most, not all, people who object to a red dot on a CC handgun have never used a red dot on a handgun. Revolvers are a bit nasty with the red dot because of the high mount, which takes continued practice to properly use when carried concealed. Myself, I don't like it, so I wouldn't carry...

    3.5" 460 vs 4" 500

    The 4" S&W 500 does not have a harsh recoil and is rather mild when loaded down to 1,000fps with either 400 or 440 grain cast bullets. The compensator works very well relative to perceived recoil - now as for muzzle blast - that puppy has MUZZLE BLAST and when shooting under a canopy - one...

    This is a question I have on hunting with reloads

    Only factory ammunition purchased for taking game is the 22rf - everything else is reloaded ammunition made by me on a progressive press. Shotgun is reloaded by a grandson.

    Loading for the S&W 500

    You're also shooting some mighty fine jacketed bullets for paper punching. If you want to run those big 500 grain slugs at warp speeds, you could just purchase gas checked cast bullets @ $0.40 each, 440 grain gas checked bullets at $0.36 each or 400 grain coated bullets at $0.20 to $0.28 each...
