I bought one for 38 Spl/357 mag maybe 20 years ago, it has been sitting on a bench for about the last 19 as something broke on it and I went to a different machine. I hated it as the primers did not drop consistently and the disks were a PITA to change in order to get the correct powder drop. If the...

This issue was taken up in the Minneapolis and St Paul papers as well as the weekly outdoor magazines a while back. Basically, it was stated that anything not removed daily from public lands by the user is considered "permanent" and open for use by others on a first come, first served basi...

Since the start ofthis year's firearms deer season I have seen 9 wolves over 5 days at my hunting land near Bruno. I had dog urine on my tires higher than my dogs can lift their legs on two different nights. There is a pack of 4 adult and 4 pups in the area which have been around for about 5 years n...

What did you expect when a deer is shot with a coyote gun? Let the flames begin! LOL.!!!

A rather large and nice racked 8+ pointer was hit last night down the road from my house, it did a number on the front end of a 3/4 ton Ford. Now I have a perfect reason to head to the cabin for the season rather than stick around home and be subject to "honey do" requests as the wife sees...

A semi-auto is a better fit for sporting clays and skeet than a pump for the most part, less arm movement and distraction. I think it is better for trap doubles too, but both are merely my opinions. I also lean heavily toward gas operated semi-autos as I feel they attenuate recoil better than recoil...

I'll be using whatever 150 gr Federal Wal-Mart sells the cheapest, it works in 300 Savage and 30/06 so I can't see it not working in 308.

Did OK on Saturday, but a bit strange when I think about it. Saw 8 roosters and one hen, which seems strange, or is because the roosters are that much hardier and survived last winter better than the hens? Did manage to bring 3 home between two of us on Saturday which was much better than I expecte...

Most of the time a 16 ga Browning Upland Special with Mod/Mod chokes. I tend to use old paper hull, fiber wad #6 shot of whatever weight in the bottom barrel and 1 1/8 oz of #5 shot in a modern one piece wad and shot cup in the top. If the birds are spooky I'll put the 5s on the bottom and run 1 1/4...

I'll take them, check you PM for a contact number.

I'll take the two bags of #5 and #6 shot, maybe some of the lesser amounts if there is not something SIGP240 wants. I'll PM contact info

Iver Johnson sold four other semiautos: a TP 22 (22LR) and TP 25 (25 ACP) semi-auto which kind of looked like a Walther PPK but utilized a U.S. frame and ERMA internals. There was also the Compact 25 pistol which was touted as being the worlds smallest 25 ACP (at least at that time), and another 22 ...

In populations like this I spend as much or more time traveling between the best spots as I do actually hunting. There are areas that tend to have birds in them every time one goes there and when populations are down I go directly to those areas and hunt the 5 or so acres around there. If the dogs d...

A ".380" Iver Johnson? Six rounds, INCLUDING one in the chamber? Be still my heart. I want to see a picture of that one. Are they sure he wasn't a curator bringing an artifact back to a museum? This was initially a joint venture between Star, Firearms International, and Colt but Colt back...

I have several 22 LRs, a 22 mag, and a 17 HMR. For teaching others the basics of rifle shooting, the 22 LR is the way to go. Cost for the rifle and ammo is as reasonable as one can find which allows for plenty of practice. With a bit of care one can find a particular brand and/or lot of ammo which p...
