      Why Truncated Cone?

      I've been reloading since the 90's, 9's, 38/357 and 45 ACP/Colt/Auto Rim. Have seen lots of people posting lately that they are using truncated cone bullets. My question is why? What is the advantage over round nose. I don't think I've seen any factory TCs, but then since I'm a reloader, I don't...

      Recommend a Revolver Speedloader for a S&W 64

      +1 on HKS. Mine too are >30yrs old, simple reliable and if the OP is used to HKS, stick with that style. Practice and muscle memory will make them easier to use under stress.

There were two LEOs out front directing traffic to the back entrance. Two LEOs at the entrance asked...

      Incredible List of Additions to the Maryland Register

      Historically, it was chambered in .38 with the shorter barrel for the Navy. Sites mostly list it as a New Army no matter the caliber and barrel length. I thought about getting the .38 but I have more fun reloading and shooting the .45 (Colt, ACP and Auto Rims.)

      Incredible List of Additions to the Maryland Register

      My opinion precisely. Unfortunately, now I have to wait for the next production run. I enjoy shooting my Vaquero, feels like shooting a bit of history. Thought that this would take me a little further back. Ii have no interest in black powder, but the history of the 1858 Remington is interesting.

      10mm

      If you look up some reloading data, you can see what the max/hot loads are. Then look for factory rounds that list similar velocities. Buffalo Bore has some great 10mm rounds...

      AA County Plastic Bag Ban in 2024

      the heavier bags are now been used for curb side pick-up so people that use that regularly are ending up with piles of reusable bags. I use cloth bags that will decompose if disposed of properly. Which I plan to do, after I turn them into gun cleaning patches.
