Now y'all have me thinking about my Winchester M94 in .30-30...I don't remember the last time I shot it. Suggestions for a cast bullet load? Looks like there are 170-ish-grain bullets out there.

IME, Winchester's NATO-spec hardball has harder-than-standard pistol primers. I had to bump up the mainsprings in my PX4s to get them to run with that stuff; they needed 11-12 lb. ones or the...

Actually, he said he wanted to be able to shoot .357 Magnum without it beating the crap out of him. He's got really bad arthritis in his wrists, plus he does like K frames. Conventional wisdom is...

Yup, it’s similar to the old Nyclad. It’s also less smoky when shooting. I load my own practice ammo and I’ve switched to it, once my remaining lubed bullets get used up I’ll be all coated bullets....

My Hornady 7th Edition manual shows that bullet with a "muzzle velocity range" (no definition given) of 700-1400 fps. Lucky Gunner's gel testing using Clear Ballistic gel (yeah, I know...) showed...

I emailed him to ask about the velocity from a 4" barrel, and he replied that it's ~900 fps. That would be really nice for my 4" M19 if it expands at that velocity. If it doesn't, I'd be afraid of...

An M16 toothbrush, a nylon chamber/bore brush and cleaning rod for it, and oil live full-time in my range bag. I rarely go through more than a hundred rounds in a range session anymore and my...

The mountain biker should be holding a joint...

There's no magic. The flat nose is the part of the bullet that does the damage, and it's bigger on a wadcutter than on a flat nose or SWC. Having less air space in the cartridge gives a theoretical...

I thought they were discontinued, thanks for the correction!

Please note that Hogue has changed the way the J frame Monogrip attaches to the way they work on other frame sizes, with that metal stirrup and screw. You can't do that mod on the current ones. :(

If I'm going to use my carry gun at the range, I'll just leave the chambered round in there, drop the magazine with carry ammo, and insert the magazine with practice ammo. The chambered round goes...

My days of multi-hundred-round practice sessions are in the past. It's been a while since I've exceeded 100 rounds in a session. Most of my shooting is with my handloads, and I've got enough...

For stuff like Red Bull, I agree. But the mocha-flavored ones are pretty good. :)

Here. Knopfler put a bunch of his collection up for auction at Christie's, and Spender got to play some of them, including the ones he used on several albums and tours. Those guitars went for mad...

If it were me, I'd get a bunch of coated LSWCs and use enough Universal to push them to about 900-950 fps. :)

fatdog - Of the choices you list, I'd go with Titegroup and plated bullets. TG is about the right burn rate, but it burns really hot. I stopped using it back when I was actively competing in IDPA...

Maybe. Bullets for 9x19 are typically sized .356 while the typical sizing for .38/.357 is .358. Using undersized bullets usually causes leading, though I'm not sure whether the coating would...

+1!

One of the least enjoyable road trips I made was I-10 from Lake Charles to El Paso in one day.

I've got a bunch of K and L frame Comp IIs and love them, they're what I use for carry. I've got several J frame Comp Is and have had poor luck with them; some of them work normally and others...

^^^^Damned fine work from a snubby!

If I were in the market for a good shooter-quality 19, I’d be on that like white on rice.

My cardiologist told me to cut out alcohol because I have a family history of afib and alcohol consumption greatly increases the risk of it showing up in me. I’ve switched to nonalcoholic beer, and...

My M&P45s run fine with 10+1, even with my hardball-equivalent handloads. My reload magazine has only nine rounds in it because it requires a really hard smack to seat it with ten, and if I need to...
