Are the XD-9 magazines available?
-
Reading through this thread has caused me to re-live the many inconsiderate acts of people who cannot walk or drive. What ever happened to people who are paying attention to what they are doing. I drive about 75 miles per day 5 days per week and not a day goes by that someone doesn't try to run over me. My favorite handicap is the ADD people at 4Way stops who cannot stay focused long enough to remember who's turn it is to go

I have an 8-06 Mauser that I've hunted with for many years. Mine started out a 29 inch Persian barrel VZ-24 and cut it back to 25 and step crowned it. It loves 200 grain Speer Hot Core bullets and 4350 with standard primers. Anything you shoot with 53 grains of 4350 troubles are over. When you're putting them together? make them as long as the magazine allows. If it flattens the primers back off a half a grain and don't push the shoulder back to far

Who says .45 ACP is not popular anymore?
Sunfish replied to Quavodus's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I have the notion that fans of the .355 bore like shooting people multiple times making the experience more fulfilling. This must have originated in Europe with the metric calibers. Real Americans like drilling large less numerous holes before they ride into the sunset -
You are sure your pistol is made for 3 inch shells ?

This became about $ as soon as they hired an Attorney. Time will tell where their heart is and what's important.

Funny how family's kick people to the curb until something happens to them.

I wouldn't worry about smokeless, but you should be mindful of Black powder

There are a few of us that are 35 Whelen fans. I don't shoot mine a lot but just about everything I do shoot is based on a 30-06 case. Welcome aboard

The AA4350 is my preferred 4350

Are these smooth bore ? or do they have rifling -
From the photo's I would take a hard look at the extractor often they can prevent it from going into battery. Many people put an extra power recoil spring in which in the case of a 10 mm is good thinking and rub a tiny bit off the extractor at a time. Also don't be afraid to use a little gun grease here and there

I have it from a reliable source that when you quit believing Santa stops coming

I tried to sell off some of my good surplus 8mm a while back for $.40 and didn't get any takers or offers

When you say the factory rounds grouped better makes me think that the reloaded rounds are not up to pressure. I will also tell you that old guns like old flat base bullets. In a 57 mm case I have had great results with AA 2520 and AA2700 with the heavier bullet weights

Distilling for short and long term prepping
Sunfish replied to Spots's topic in Survival and Preparedness
Education and Information wise you have to have a warm place for the mash to work and when it stops working you either run it or add more sugar. You also need to make a trap of sorts with a bottom valve that goes between the cooker and the cooling coil otherwise if you get to really cooking the mash you will puke it and your whiskey will be milky -
What's your muzzleloader setup this season?
Sunfish replied to Quavodus's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
My CVA Optima likes the Muzzleload Magnum products Sabots with a Montana Swagged 405gr lead above three Firestar triple 7 pellets. -
We have lost a couple recently that have provided a service for quite a few years. Sues and Lancaster's have called it quits. I had to hall my first one to Walkers in Lebanon formerly Lebanon locker. Roy is still there and it was good to see him. Many times I've seen them unable to accept more Deer because they were full to capacity. I feel certain they have been the victims of no one wants to work anymore and by their self are easily overwhelmed. Sumner, Trousdale and Smith have a need for few smaller operations to keep up the harvest quota.

Striker fired is not the 1911 type platform

If it's striker fired like the Brownells ad said I'm not so sure. I'm pretty happy with the one I have

RELOADING 308 WINCHESTER FOR BROWNING BLR

Rob is your rifle a 9x57 or a 9.3 x57. I have opened up 8x57 for the 9.3x57 with no problems. Most of the brass that I have used is Remington 8x57. I will tell you that anytime you open up brass your OAL will be less. Annealed Military brass is probably thicker than commercial brass is to begin with and since these guns are all bolt action I wouldn't worry a whole lot about it. I would fire a light load in it to form it to the chamber and then neck size it from then on. I have had a lot of success with AA2520 in the 57 mm case. If you would like I have a few Norma 9.3 x57 cases that are new that I could be traded out of maybe. Let me know. Sunfish

Soak those old presses in a 5 gallon bucket after taking off the grips or push out the pin and take the whole arm off. I mix up ATF with acetone and get some fine bronze wool and some rubber gloves and go at it.

What's a good deer attractant for trail cams?
Sunfish replied to Quavodus's topic in Hunting and Fishing
tie a drip bottle about 10 feet in the air with active scrape in it and you should get a look at some horns
