The problem with a double charge is that it often is preceded by, or followed by an empty charge. A squib causing a stuck bullet followed by the double charge will undoubtedly destroy most firearms. I never had it happen to myself, but I've seen it several times. I've caught enough inadvertent...

That’s called a “zip” gun…

I'm very fond of my Stainless Single-7. It was bad about stiff or sticking cases at first, but repeated polishing finally cured that. Accuracy with other than nearly impossible to source jacketed bullets either in component or loaded ammunition was BAD when I bought it. It suffered from thread...

That is the Chinese carrier Liaoning formerly Russian Kuznetsov class carrier Varyag. It is MUCH smaller than a U.S. carrier. And few Chinese aircraft have the capability to take off from it and none with a full weapons and/or fuel loading.

When it's -15degF, or colder! outside, you have to improvise. My older brother spent 5yrs in Anchorage, AK and 5yrs in Great Falls Montana, as well as 4.5yrs in Loring, ME while in the Airforce. He dressed out deer, elk, and a moose in an attached garage hanging the game from the rafters. Not...

I too have an Academy Sports credit card that is through Synchrony. They have also sat on one of my payments and charged me a lat fee. The check actually cleared my bank 8 days before they credited the late payment.I called them up and they initially denied crediting me the late fee. I cancelled...

In '17, I bought a 1894CL in .218Bee. I had to pay $2.00 a piece for once-fired brass. Found two boxes of 50. Two months later, Starline made a run of .32-20. I bought 200. I had .25-20 dies and .218 dies, so I formed my own 'Bee's. I really enjoy my 'Bee. It's quite accurate, and much handier...

My first 77/22 didn’t have the loose bolt issue. However, it had a barrel from hell. Chamber was cut eccentric and oversized. Never got it to group. Eventually traded it off. (A Number-3 was likewise a stinker. Someone had cut chamber to .22KHornet and botched it). My KBZ (Heavy barrel stainless...

Hmm …! Finally something I would consider trading my 77/22 KBZ for!

A very good way, and not terribly expensive is the Lee sizer dies for a conventional loading press. Also, you can use the Lee Liquid Alox to tumble lube the bullets. Or, you can buy some powder coating powder, and use a toaster oven and some no-stick aluminum foil to bake on the powder...

Which.32mag? I use 10.0gr of #2400 in my .327FederalMag. I use several different bullets ranging from 100 to 122gr. 10.0gr #2400 would be way too hot for the .32H&Rmag. (8.2 is published max).
