Cabela's is running one of their Cabela's Vias promotions again. I also received a flyer in the mail with the promotion card. The promotion is the usual. $150 off on purchases over $500. Less on smaller purchases. This makes some of thier guns very interesting. Handguns listed in the flyer: XD 4&quo...
Our own Cobb won the 2007 Faribault Rifle & Pistol IDPA Back-Up Gun (BUG) Championship! The league consisted of 12 matches with 3 stages in each match. These matches were shot after the regular summer league IDPA matches. IDPA BUG matches consist of semi-auto's with a barrel of 3.8 inches or le...
What overall length do you use? I need a different overall length than my 200 gr. SWC plated bullets than the OL I use for my lead or jacketed 200 gr SWC.
I tried Rainer in 45 ACP SWC. They seemed to vary somewhat. I had a few problems getting that load to work. For a plated bullet, I like Berry a lot more. They seem much more uniform and the plating may be a little thicker. Again, only 45 ACP 200 gr SWC in both.
Rather than a pellet gun have you consider some CCI CB caps, or Aquila primer only 22 caliber rounds. They won't operate a semi-auto. All of these are as quiet as a pellet rifle. Thay are accurate at out to about 30 feet. I don't think they will stop a squirrel, but will rabbits, birds, gophers etc.

"Carry Friendly" Yesterday my wife and I stopped in the Owatonna Cabela's (we live just south of Owatonna so I get there often). I noticed that they changed their "check your guns sign". The sign basically says all firearms must be checked and have a trigger lock applied at the i...
I just purchased a Springfield EMP. Nice gun. Great looks. So far it shoots fine. The stock magazine (9 round) protrudes beyond the bottom of the grip. I would like a magazine (8 round OK) that fits flush with the base of the grip. I have asked Springfield and looked at the MecGar site and they do n...
Cobb wrote: but would take another look at the 650. I purchased a 650 rather than a 550. At the time I was unsure if the 650 was worth the extra money. I never regret spending the extra money for the 650. At that time you could not buy a case feeder for the 550 but could for the 650. I didn't buy on...
