      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...

      My first contribution to the MHR

      I just got a response from the MSP after submitting a petition to the Handgun Roster Board. I have my fingers crossed for the next board meeting in March. This is the same as an offering from Uberti so don't anticipate any push-back. I was wondering if anyone else on this forum has gone through...

      Anyone utilize gunstuff.tv

      A number of dealers won't ship to MD, https://gunstuff.tv doesn't seem to have such a restriction so I thought I'd give them a shot (pun intended.) Anyone purchase from them?

      Hog and Rat Shoot'n

      I'm not into hunting and not opposed to it (for food & population control, not sport), several decades ago I read an article about shooting rats at a dump and thought that would be fun and a worth while activity. This weekend I watched several YouTube videos on that subject as well as culling...

      Primers packed in anti-stat bags?

      I recently received an order of primers, nothing unusual about the packaging (it could have been padded better but boxes were undamaged) and the only thing unusual was that the primers were in a mylar anti-stat bag like computer parts come in. Is this normal?

      Decent Crab Cakes in MoCo?

      My wife is from Ballmer but grew up in Ohio so she has a Midwestern accent and a taste for crab cakes. Me, not so much. We've been to G&Ms a number of times as well as Pappas but I was wondering if there was someplace decent closer to home. I seem to remember we found some decent cakes somewhere...

      First and probably last visit to Gilbert Indoor Range

      My wife and I typically shoot at MSAR but as a member of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program in Montgomery County, she was offered free range time at Gilbert's this past Sunday (which seemed a little contradictory to me but what the heck.) The parking lot was overflowing so she...

      1849 & 1858 Revolvers

      I had some interest in Civil war era revolvers before being gifted a junk 1849 Colt Pocket revolver but the darn thing rekindled my interest. I'm looking at the Uberti 1858 NEW MDL ARMY 45 LC (replica) which appears to be available from Taylor's & Company and Cimarron importers. It appears on...

      Point me to the regs on doing transfers

      I've been wandering around the MD state police site and haven't discovered the regs on a private transfer. A family friend from VA wants to give me a couple of 22 rifles and a civil war era pistol. I have no idea what the pistol is yet. Can anyone point me to the regs?

      Roadside Ammo sales in VA

      On my way home from Charlottesville to MoCo a few hrs ago I spotted a van at the roadside on 29 selling ammo. Had some tables setup in a vacant property. Can't say I've ever seen this before. Any one make any purchases from a vendor like this?

      Love my new Red Dot

      So I'm in my 6th decade, I have floaters and have had cataract surgery, very fustrated with my inability to aim well. Been drooling over red dots for decades, not being able to aim my KS7 very well with hearing protection on, got me to bite the bullet. Now I want one of these on every one of my...

      After 3 decades, my first split cases

      This maybe should have been in the reloading forum but I figured it probably has value beyond that audience. The cases in the image below are my first in person experience with split cases. The primers on some cases were slightly flattened, though the literature says watching for flattened...

      MoCo needs mail in vote counters

      I worked as an election judge yesterday in Chevy Chase and met a guy who did this a couple of days and said it was interesting. They would like you do to 2 or more days. I'd do it but am already signed up to work the polls for 5 days and my wife is working 3 days so we feel we've done more than...
