Hah. :D I own a few glocks, a few 1911 types, heck a lot of guns. Glocks are good factory guns, but while a few are bad (and Glock did not stand up to this one being a problem 8 years ago...) I also have a 34 that is a fine shooter. They just are not in the same league as a Wilson or Baer 1911 or a ...

Sizing wax/lube is not only for rifle cases. Back in the bad old days most pistol dies were not carbide, and you need to lube your cases with them. The new carbide dies don't need lubing in pistol calibers. Rifle and steel dies do. Mainly nit picking, but given all the artifacts that folks are showi...

OK, when I got it out again, its not quite as dramatic as it sounds. Not 15 degrees, but maybe 5. But you want some pics, here they are. http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh198/crbutler/005.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh198/crbutler/004-1.jpg http://i2...

I have a Glock 10mm (29 I believe) that the slide top sits at about a 15 degree angle from the perpendicular. I sent it back to glock, and they told me it is fine. Some "perfection"... It's pretty reliable in going bang, I just can't hit anything with it (well more so than other handguns a...

For a person to be considered a "Gun Guy" the minimum to me would be five guns, of which one would have to be a: Defensive caliber handgun (.380- .45) somewhere. Revolver, auto, whatever. .22 Rimfire of some stripe (rifle or pistol) Shotgun of some stripe (doesn't matter what gauge or acti...

I think they are supposed to be like .005" below the case head. If the primer is not noticeably flattened, you should be OK. I usually put mine there and have no problems. The biggest concern is if you are crushing the primer, then it might go off while reloading it (loud, and if hand priming p...

The cost of reloading this effectively is going to be high. The cost to just make noise is much less. I don't think its worthwhile to use "standard" stuff for a long range rifle. You will probably need to get more than a few extras for reloading it. Oversize cartridges (ie longer than the ...

Cobb, They work pretty well when you need to clean out the barrel between days on a hunting trip involving air travel. Do they do a good job at getting rid of fouling? Not really. But they do get powder residue and some carbon out and get a light layer of oil in, without buggering your rifling at th...

From what you are describing, the Leupold Delta Point must be a lot like the old optima or Jpoint sights. I found if you don't lock them down, as soon as you do the point of impact changes. The old Optima came with a wheel to put on the allen wrench that was calibrated to tell you how much it was su...

I agree that its pretty hard to find good hunting for free anymore. I sure don't allow it on my land. In Texas, they have had a long tradition of strong landowner rights, and hunting leases. While if you are a local, you might find some folks who will let you hunt for free its few and far between. T...

Well, I have hunted the big Brown Bears, and been in Grizzly country... This ain't that. While a Black Bear is no stuffed child's toy, I have to laugh at all the 50 caliber/375H&H comments. Yes a sow with cubs is dangerous, but then again so is most any predator with young. Odds are they will be...

More correctly, a fluted barrel is lighter than a nonfluted barrel of the same OD. I doubt a fluted barrel is more stiff than a barrel of the original OD. I am not really sure about the increased cooling thing, that was the reason behind the "really cool looking" fins on the old Tommy gun ...

Is this an actual recall, or just some writer saying there is? I don't know where this guy gets his info- from his comments, I hope its better than "Fluted barrels are more accurate." Along with the comment about the blowback action not being able to handle a .22 WMR cartridge for pete's s...

I have used a lot of different powders with the .40 S&W. To be honest, I didn't find much of anything that didn't work for plinking type loads. Its pretty easy to make accurate loads with the .40. I will say that my experience with plated bullets was not that good (mostly accuracy problems). jac...

I would be very careful if that's a .243 win you are talking about- if its a wildcat or something else, nevermind, carry on. According to the Hornady 8th ed 43.5 gr of RL 22 will get you 2800 FPS with a 105 grain bullet. (albeit at 2.630 OAL) Gaining 300 FPS with a ~10% heavier bullet sounds a bit f...
