I plan on mainly reloading small capacity cartridges like magnum pistol, 30 US Carb, 300 blackout that do not require large charges of powder and I am not planning to do a lot of mag dumps either. I...

358 MPG sounds like an impressive cartridge in an AR-15 and firing cast coated bullets.
My question is if there any lead or coating plastic buildup in the gas tube or bolt carrier?
Relative...

How is Track of The Wolf as a vendor compared to others sources within the USA. Most of their brass does seem to be starline. Magtec does through midway sell various brass shotgun hulls that can be...

Sort of what I was wondering. What alloys did the buffalo hunters use. I always assumed it was fairly soft lead, but of course at black powder velocities.

What I am worried about are the pythons and their cold tolerance. So far they are way in the south of Florida. And I hope it stays that way.

I bet that dillos can sense ground vibrations very well and now know what people sound like when they are walking.

That is what I was wondering if they are doing things that the 'experts' are not predicting.

My dogs will snack on armadillo shells if I let them.

That is very far north for an armadillo. Winters can get below 0F that far north. I did some quick searching and they are blaming climate change for armadillos going far north. A 1 or 2 degree...

Many small foreign companies load ammo for their governments that includes 9mm ammo used in open bolt firing submachine guns. Such primers can be harder. Some striker fired pistols more likely to...

Did the guns still have their original factory striker springs installed?

The cost and the often spotty availability of 2.5 inch .410 shells is an issue for me. Also what would I use it for? I have other shotguns for killing things.

Does the purchase of the various chemicals stir up any interest from Homeland or ATF? Does anyone care?
I certainly applaud the effort and resourcefulness of the posters.

If we are talking smokeless powder, tiny particles in residues from smokeless powders can sometimes upon loading into a cartridge, will exhibit extremely high pressures. In chemistry, the greater...

Been doing some more thinking. The armadillos started spreading to the Southeastern USA about the time that the red wolf and the Mexican wolf was being decimated. They are bigger than normal...

In some places coyotes are getting bigger due to genes from wolves and domestic dogs and also evolution. Maybe your coyotes are bigger and better able to crush an armadillo.

The first my pup killed he got a pretty good tear type wound over the face that got infected. The same kinds of wounds from killing a cat and raccoon. Since then, no visible injuries from killing...

If my dog can kill them, I would think that coyotes could too. But, the fact is they obviously are not killing any significant number. My dog can easily kill an armadillo, but he has a huge head...

This is not hunting, but more a futile attempt at extermination. I am still amazed that the expanded coyote population can not keep them in check.

I do not need a gun for armadillos in Florida. Patch kills them dead and I just find usually by smell. It was good size dillo killed by patch, a white english farm bull dog off of Georgia stock. ...

Many people put a weaker than factory spec spring in their revolvers or either adjust the spring tension to the point where impact is just enough to work under optimal conditions.
