    New Lehigh LP Bullets

    Hey Savoy...curious if the bullet was tried wih a "shielded tip"....same basic stem design but a shield that would leave all the hollow point open behind it....virtually a tipped hollow point....with a very thin shield or tip...seems that would make bcs even higher....

    Time to Regulate

    I think that we have to look at this entire situation in a different direction... Back when the amendment was written the arsenal was muzzleloader equipment..on the verge of repeating arms...now we have semi and full auto capabilities.... I believe that our forefathers saw the future ahead of...

    Time to Regulate

    There are some people directly responsible for the deaths of those people at the school...that young man went into a store and purchased a firearm that he shouldn't have been able to purchase...does all this blame go to that young man.....Hell No....be passed a background check...that means all...

    Time to Regulate

    Unfortunately I have to disagree wholeheartedly with Ron... I have had a CC before..and when a sheriff in the state of Oregon contacted me by mail stating that a lawsuit was being filed against ALL CC licensees that you must comply to tell the commission about ALL GUNS that you own....this was...

    Frosted chamber

    I agree there are things you can do to help prevent situations like this... I myself put a rubber glove finger over the muzzle..and a piece of sticky Suran wrap over the nipple before placing the #11 cap on it....sealed...and when I decided to shoot there wasn't any difference... I did try a...

    JB Compound

    Yes..wrap a patch on a brush and work it in.... But....Sabotloader...with the finish on the inside of the UL barrels..will this stuff wear off the special coating on the inside of barrel? I have used it on several CF barrels....clean them really good and then work the bore paste in there...saw...

    Frosted chamber

    My reference of "hidden away" was because the mzldr looked pristine....he had said he jus purchased the the mzldr...... If there is frost ONLY on the exterior of the barrel where the powder is located...I would always think negatively until proven wrong...and in this case it would be...

    Frosted chamber

    The frost on the gun was located NOT on the section outside the primer...it WAS on the section outside the powder chamber....just want to clarify... And if that was not a brand new ultimate mzldr it had been hidden in a dark place til just the other day... The stock wasn't scraped or dirty..nor...

    Frosted chamber

    I went out looking for elk the other day(and coyote with the son)... Only saw two elk, both bulls..both six points...normally that would get me heading into the brush...but my tag is for an antlerless only.......and no antlerless around.... While out and about we talked with another guy that was...

    Measuring by Weight

    Curious if you ever run your BlkMZ thru a sieve to try for more consistent shooting....I have shot quite a few pounders of it...doesn't shoot very consistently with all the differences in granuals....at least its what I think makes it an inferior powder....now if it was granulated like 777..it...

    Cleaning Threads in Chamber

    Ol' sabotloader gave me a hint..clean it good....I take a nylon 12 gauge brush on a section of cleaning rod in a drill.....run it in there for a bit...clean it out and then I put a little oil on a cleaning clothe and wrap that around the brush and run that in there for a few.....and sometimes I...

    Knight Tan Ultralite Western BP Musket cap

    The diameter of the musket is much bigger than the #11...the striker hits the musket cap against the edge of the musket nipple to ignite the cap....if it were to hit the center it probably wouldn't set it off and possibly just bend the center and on the off chance get stuck....so screw it in and...

    Knight Tan Ultralite Western BP Musket cap

    I have one of those....the musket caps are much wider than say a #11 cap....the striker(firing pin) has much more room to hit the musket caps, the offset allows for the striker to hit on the edge of the offset nipple...I questioned that myself....took a bit to grasp the idea...but if your...

    Back Problems....

    Bearman...indeed two surgeries are not what I want to have...but evetually I foresee it in the future.....just whether I get it early enough in life to get things working again before a surgery won't do any good for me.... Dr. keeps asking how things are going..all I can say is that my work days...

    What to do?

    Tough choices....I only recently started shooting mzldrs....hunted with my knight ul last fall for deer in Idaho during rifle season...blew a 50 yard opportunity in timber because I couldn't see the antlers on top of the head of the two deer..both bucks..both good bucks....but no scope on the...

    LEE Mini Bullet molds for my cva

    I was buying and shooting greatplains....they are a tapered body and i wasn't liking the extra effort to seat the bullets...caused alot of tip deformation...the paperpatched allows a person to fine tune the bullet to the barrel diameter....and if I'm a hurry for a second shot tearing a small...

    LEE Mini Bullet molds for my cva

    Porkchop, Funny you should ask about the LeeMini.... Although I have little experience with mldrs...and pouring bullets...I collected a little information from Idahoron and off I went....that direction... I believe the mold I bought was the Mini360...however I changed it up a touch... That...
