any game that tells you that it can tell the difference between gitten shot with a .44mag and .45lc is lying through it's dead teeth. At that point it's all about shot placement. Its always all about shot placement. big hole in the dirt got nothing on a small hole between the lookers unless...

And the closed top allows for swing out cylinders and faster reloading ,better sights much more stable platform etc. Face reality. the open top colts are wicked cool but they were not the last word in revolver design. even the old Remington allows for fast cylinder switches. the only thing the...

the Remington was the first and opened the path for things to come. Of course it was not perfected. The modern Rugers are a different animal.

my favorite muzzeloader AR interaction at the rage. 50yrd pistol range 6" steel plates the chains have been all shot up by the assault rifle crowd so the plates hang from broken open links and a hit knocks the plate off so you have to go set it up again. I had a paper target set up and...

The last time I witnessed Windsor county sheriffs dept qualifying day one of the Deputys swept me with a shotgun while I was chatting with the Sherrif. His boss didn't even notice .. One of the deputy's was shooting the 7yrd target with a shotgun and a branch got shot off of a tree at least...

learned a trick with dawgs, yell loud and sharp to get their attention. Hey! then give em the Good Boy... they usually stop and look for the treat,,,

The ones who thought they knew what they were doing would show up to our USPSA pistol matches and get humbled fast. Very few would come back a second time. those that did come back usually got hooked. Very few law enforcement typs were any good. The LEO's that were good were VERY GOOD...

just finished a back yard session with my 1858 stock sights. 200g conical. off the back steps first shot hit a 35yrd 5" plate then two 5" plates at 25yrds and one six inch plate @ 40yrds and two shots on paper @ 50 yrds one of which was a bullseye.. that 200g conical hits the steel harder...

After a serious stint of practical pistol competition which is very structured and safe and way too many wacky range encounters outside of competition I am now of the unpopular opinion that most people should not be allowed to have firearms.

That place has changed. I was through there in1981 and nothing but a gate, some grave stones and a plaque.

What the heck is a mandolerian helmet?

Really it's the sights that suck.

I just don't like plastic guns and this thing is shooting well with 200g conicals. I shoot it almost every day now untill I start training for biathlon again which will be in two weeks or so. Right after the muzzle loader deer season ends i will switch it up and start training mostly with the...

Never heard of bullet weight measured in grams. A 260 gram bullet would weigh something like 6 ounces...

The way my 1858 is shooting right now I would have no problem with some punk with a 9

I think if I was expecting a close range battle I would be tempted to load my first 1858 up with doubble RB and my second six shooter would have my standard conical load for more precise clean up.

pretty rough day hunting on skis today through swamps and thick spruces.. my 81 year old rifle got a bit of a work out... I guess I am not the right one to ask about preserving cool things... she is by the wood stove now waiting for her baristol bath..

I suspect a felt wad between balls may enhance accuracy??? the one time I accidentally double charged my .50 cal trapper while shooting at paper the two holes were 2 inches apart @ 50yrds. There would have been a powder charge between both balls that most certainly did not ignite. That would...

congratulations for what? Living through yet another non scientific experiment??? ;) Thank you.

I would never buy anything just to look at it...
