    470 NITRO KYNOCH NEED BERDAM PRIMERS

    https://thinlineweapons.com/primer/ I did some searching and no luck. But I did find an article on how to convert the brass to boxer primers. Seems like more trouble than it's worth though.

    Wanted Federal 470 Ammunition

    Your post title really needs to be more descriptive.

    Has anyone heard Alliant is stopping sales of powder for reloading?

    I need Blue Dot... It hasn't been available for a long time and I'm not holding my breath. Sadly, as far as I know, there is no suitable substitute. I contacted Alliant and was told they would be making more in the future. Thankfully black powder is still available.

    CZ 550 Magnum

    The 550 was such a nice gun for the money. My first DG rifle was a 550 in 375 H&H. They really need to bring it back!

    505 Gibbs

    Good to hear it's legal, sorry for the scare. I'll have to pass, 10lb is too light for my taste. Thank you for checking.

    505 Gibbs

    If the gun still counts as a pre-68... It seems legal. But my knowledge of gun laws is pretty limited. Likely it would be up to someone's FFL. Did you get a chance to weigh the rifle?

    505 Gibbs

    Good to know, although I would be worried an FFL would require proof of age in this case.

    Hopefully it has a serial number... Who made it? How much does it weigh?

    Not-so-stinky Sunscreen

    I didn't wear sunscreen. I covered as much skin as possible with only my fingers and around my eyes exposed. Then again I come from a part of the USA that gets almost no sun... So I'm basically an albino most of the year.

    460 S&W hunting bullet

    Why not cast your own? With pistol bullets it will be easy and inexpensive. You can buy pre-mixed alloys to insure proper hardness for hunting.

    The Draw of the Sporting Double Rifle

    Snapped a quick picture of my own lovely lady on the porch before work today. I'm awful at taking pictures...

    The Draw of the Sporting Double Rifle

    Here is a picture of the 577 3" Express that I have been lusting after on GI. Hopefully someone will buy it soon, so I don't do something stupid.

    Silencer suppressors tax?

    Never going to happen. Hollywood has made suppressors into a "murder tool" and that is how the general public sees them.

    The Draw of the Sporting Double Rifle

    I've already plastered pictures of my W.J. Jeffery 8-bore rifle all over the place, so I will spare you all more pictures. But, I've been a big fan of double rifles for years! My favorite rifles are the old hammer guns from the late 19th century... But in truth I pretty much love them all. There...

    on a lighter note...

    Let's face it... A lot of gun owners would risk it these days.
