Hi Mike

Welcome to the group.

Ok, I am reading the other thread about your go to gun, There are some nice expensive pistols. Hear is my question. Do you worry about your guns value if it is used for self defense and is now in the gentle caring hands of the OIC of the evidence room? If you have a $2000 and a $500 pistol that are both as reliable would you keep the cheaper one for defense and the more expensive one in the safe? Or does it not matter as long as you are alive.

I have used them before. Also The Hodgdon Data Center has good data for IMR, Winchester and Hodgdon powders. http://www.hodgdon.com/

Thanks Mauser88

An Ed Brown is one hell of a gun.

that is sweet Hotshot.

I used to cast my own too till I found TSM Casting in Toms River. Now I buy his lead bullets. I've never head of this guy. Does he have a website or a storefront? Or is he small like Solomons? How are his prices?

Many are not. The S&W TSW line has a unique rail. Glocks were unigue on some. Insight and Surfire were making adapters at one time for the lights matching them to the rails. It is best to check before you put any funds out. Live and learn. Thanks for clarifying that.

You can range between 45 and 62 gr with that twist. Check this out http://www.sierrabullets.com/index.cfm?section=bullets&page=bc&stock_num=1410&bullettype=0 I have good luck with Sierra matchkings for 308. I would say at 100 yds the 52gr will be fine. But I do not shoot competition.

I want one of those. That is the 45/70 BFR right? Duh. it would probbly help if I was able to read and not just look at pictures. :oops:

I bring a few guns most of the time. I generally shoot my heavy calibers first and work my way down. If I am rapid firing I generally stay at 7 yds. I shoot more at 15 than I do at 25. When my groups start opening up I am done. I will run some failure to stop drills once in a while as well. Then when I am feeling bold I will shoot weekhanded.

There is a book called Guns, Who should have them I can not rememberthe author but it went into detail about the save codes and limiting the price of guns so the freed slaves could not afford one to defend thenselelve from the Klan. It is a good read.

That is funny thanks.

Let it all out Hotshot, don't hold nothing back.

Welcome, you are gonna love it here if you are half as twisted as the rest of us.

Welcome, I saw your other post and there are a few of us going to Dix on Sunday @ 0800.

Welcome to the machine.

My Warrior was around that price and is an excellent pistol. My new favorite is Dan Wesson. I really want a Valor. A Springfield loaded is a good option as well.

maks, you need a 357 too.

I have not encounterd bear, but when we would head back to our barracks late at night you would see packs of coyotes walking around them. Right outside our doors.

From what I have read, a 10mm will do it as well as a 180gr hardcast 357. It will penetrate deep enough do do the job.

Welcome ro the forum

Gun control in NJ is achieved from inconveniencing the would be owner to the point they give up.

Not anymore, since I tried taking the pictures for another forum months ago, I lost my collection in a boating mishap. So sad. No more to show off.
