• Posted in thread: Mosin Nagant Model 1891/30 - Home defence? on 11-26-2010 at 03:51 PM
  It is my opinion a shotgun would be the best home defense firearm. I would use number 6 or
  7/one half because I don`t like to shoot through walls.

  That's a 1:48 twist not 1:28:D. Caps will be #11. I like CCI best. I used 90 grs. of Pyrodex
  behind either a Lee REAL or a maxi ball but both require a short starter. Use real black if you
  can get it,...

  No, it is the Elks fault, our game and fish commission has the White Earp syndrome like a lot
  of federal and state employees. That is my opinion. The farmers are on their own yet federal
  and state mon...

• Posted in thread: 223 or 243 on 11-21-2010 at 12:38 AM
  The 223 round is horrible for anything other than a varmint round and will never leave a blood
  trail to find a wounder deer unless you have dogs. It makes you a good shot or a wounded deer
  which you m...

  The farmers in North West Arkansas are having problems with the Elk because of destroyed fences
  and their eating the hay fields. It is great for hunters but the farmers are having all sorts
  of problem...

  The M1A would be a good choice based on your question. The 7.62 by 51 is a lot more potent
  round than the 223. It would fill your assault rifle needs.

• Posted in thread: The Other Surplus German Gun Thread (P38) on 11-19-2010 at 07:09 PM
  I really don`t like the P 38 because it has two small recoil springs compared to other pistols
  having one large recoil spring. Shotgun News has a P38 in excellent condition for $350 and I
  believe it h...

• Posted in thread: Hi power vs Beretta on 11-19-2010 at 07:00 PM
  I like the high power better because it had a frame mounted safety and is single action. The 40
  is the better round in my opinion but maybe high power`s are made in 40 caliber. I have a
  Browning high ...

• Posted in thread: what size ball on 11-19-2010 at 06:54 PM
  I would use a mini-ball for the 58 caliber. They are rather easy to cast. You could buy a Lee
  mold from Midway for about $20. There is a method to making wheel weights softer and it is very
  simple.pat...

  A friend of mine called me asked why a 200 grain cast bullet was weighing only 160 grains after
  it was cast. I replyed the metal might be made from Babot and you could identify it by looking
  for bulle...
