      Turkey hunting at Jasper-Pulaski

      I put my name in for the turkey reserved hunt at Jasper-Pulaski and just found out I got chosen. I plan to try a bow for turkey this year ... although I may take my crossbow on one of the days just for a change. Now, I've never hunted at J-P for anything ... I've only been up to the range. I...

      How accurate do I need to be with OAL?

      I've done some tests with overall length with the .45 acp. These were Berry 230 gr. plated RN, Winchester large pistol primers, assorted brass and Titegroup. Velocities are the averages of 10 shots through a Kimber Tactical Custom II (5 in barrel): Grains ... OAL ... velocity...

      Powder recommendation for 9mm and/or 45

      I used to use Accurate #5 but have recently switched to Titegroup (although I am still loading the 9mm with A#5 mostly ... until I run out of it).

      1920s Pocket pistol challenge

      Those are three good choices ... I do particularly like the design Savage 1907 ... but I would say best 1920's pocket gun is the Remington Model 51 with the John Pederson designed "momentum block" lockup mechanism. The M51 is easily the most comfortable gun I have ever held in my hands. I have 2...

      What to do if you won't pay high ammo prices

      I've got enough ammo and components to make it through the weekly IDPA/USPSA/Steel comps in the summer up to the state matches, but not more so I am being conservative right now with my shooting. Instead, I've taken up tomahawk throwing and been practising the bow much more so far this year. I...

      .45 ACP COAL question

      These load tests were for IDPA/USPSA/Steel ... to test the accuracy of these loads I tend to shoot 10 off hand shots at 7 yards at the pace I shoot in competition. I figure this includes felt recoil, etc in how accurately I can shoot them in a match ... so I don't get a real measure for the...

      Single Stack load help

      I've been using Berry's 230 gr. RN, 4.6 gr. Titegroup, OAL 1.23 in my Kimber. It chrono's at 765 fps (PF 176). I used to run Berry's 200 gr. plated SWC with 7.8 gr. of AA#5 (OAL 1.19, 865 fps). That was a very accurate load but the Kimber would choke on them periodically so I went back to RN...

      Just left the Gun show here in Lafayette

      I'll be heading over in about an hour or so as well. After that, out to Applied Ballistics to put a few rounds down range with a new P938 I just got.
