      Brass Tumbling

      My main concern in tumbling empty brass is to make sure all of the grit and dirt is off of the case so it does not end up in the die - I also like shiney brass. I also briefly tumble loaded rounds (separate media) to make sure all the lube is off the brass.

      Reloading supplies in Central IN

      What ever happened to A to Z Reloading that was located in Indy right behind the Chrysler foundry? I thought that when they closed up there a number of years ago they were relocating to somewhere in the western part of the state - anyone know where?

      Terminal Ballistics - Shooting Holes in Wounding Theories

      Good data, this will take some digesting. The US Army did some extensive testing at the end of WWII. I am not sure but I think the results were published by Hatcher, Ackley or one of their contemporaries.

      new brass and bullets

      Rimfire named the 3 that I usually check for sporting caliber brass. If you are looking for military brass you can usually find pretty good prices (depending on availability) from Jeff Bartlett Welcome to Bartlett Reloaders - Jeff Bartlett (also surplus power and bullets) Jim

      Strange incident

      I too have had firing pins strike primers hard and fail to detonate - however, as was stated above, the observed phenomona is hard to dispute. This sounds a little like the claims of using fillers in reduced loads occasionally causing ringed chambers - multiple experimenters tried to recreate...

      Rossi, Puma, Taurus - Same Manufacturer?

      In looking to purchase a new model 92 lever gun recently I found myself wading through the variety of Brasilian imports from Rossi, Puma and Taurus. They seemed to be the same rifle available at different times in similar or identical configurations - but I was not sure. Then I found an...

      Best pistol cartridge/rifle combo for IN deer?

      M4 - that is interesting as the Ruger 99/44 Deerfield was about the only autoloader I was considering. I did not care for the older Deerslayers but thought the Deerfield looked like a nice compact carbine. I had kind of ruled it out simply because there are rarely any available for sale. Was...

      Best pistol cartridge/rifle combo for IN deer?

      I too am a big fan of the XS sights - I use them and the Ashley Outdoors scout mount on my Marlin 1895 and have never looked back. I am amazed at how fast I can acquire a target with that ghost ring and the accuracy is surprisingly good. The XS sight is also super durable and makes me feel...

      Best pistol cartridge/rifle combo for IN deer?

      You know, in over 30 years of deer hunting I can count the number of deer I have taken at distances beyond 200 yds on one hand (with some fingers left); including hunting regularly in a wide open state like Kansas. The vast majority have been taken between 50 and 100 yds. My concern has always...

      Hoening Slugs?

      Does anyone have experience with the .410slugs and Encore barrels produced by Hoening (http://hoeningbigboresouth.com/welcome1.html)? They seem to have taken the .410 slug into the serious big-bore rifle relm while retaining the status of "shotgun slug". I am a big fan of the 45-70 and wish...

      Best pistol cartridge/rifle combo for IN deer?

      Thanks for the info on the .358 WSSM; it looks to be an interesting cartridge design. However, I think that I would rather go with a repeater for this rifle, and a factory chambering as it may be loaned out on occasion. Jim

      Best pistol cartridge/rifle combo for IN deer?

      My deer hunting in IN in the past has been limited to muzzle loader and some slug hunting. I hunt in other northern and western states with a variety of high-power riffles. I now want to hunt the IN firearms season more seriously and would like to get a rifle, chambered in a pistol cartridge...

      Hello from Westfield, IN

      Hi everyone, Its hard for me to believe that with all of the forums I have participated in over the years, I am just now finding this one specific to IN gun owners. I look forward to learning from the members here and contributing where I can. I have been an avid hunter and shooter all of...
