Hey Arizona-hermit, how well do golf balls hold up to being shot with a .22 pistol. Rifle would probly destroy them I suppose. My daughter sometimes shoots quarters with the 22-45 & it just bends them at about 30 yds. I shot one with my 10-22 (with the same ammo) & it punched a hole clean thru it. I...

Yeah I hear you blue. Mine hasn't presented any problems at this point & it doesn't bother me being in there so long as it doesn't start causing problems. After I wrote that I thought that's probably not a real good idea to have the indicator in there & not functioning because so many people don't a...

Here is a link I ran across that might prove useful for some folks. It has a bunch of recipes for home made gun cleaning products & even has a recipe to make ballistic gel for testing bullets. Enjoy. Biggjimm.

I was cleaning my 22-45 today & removed the "loaded chamber indicator" for the first time to clean the crud out of it. The LCI in my 22-45 has not caused me any problems at this point but I've read where some people have had feeding issues caused by the LCI & have taken them out & tried to find or m...

I've been working on my 10-22 just trying to make it shoot it's absolute best. I have a "not so expensive" Tru-Glow rimfire scope on it that I got mainly because it was silver & matched my rifle. I decided today to take my Bushnell Bone Collector series 3-9X40 scope off of my deer rifle & put it on ...

I just ran across this on Midwayusa http://www.midwayusa.com/product/228652/star-targets-exploding-rifle-target-plastic-canister-2-1-2-lbs?cm_vc=S015615192 They are exploding targets. It says it takes at least a velocity of 2200fps to detonate them so they aren't for rimfires but it sure sounds like...

Looked at one at LGS the other day. It was kinda neat but not for me. It was cool though just push the release & the barrel is off just like that. It would be a lot easier to clean from the breech I suppose but I don't cleaning all that often & when I do it gives me a chance to look over all the inn...

Nothing is any more fun then shooting some type of reactive target whether it's some kind of spinner or the balls that you throw on the ground & they jump around when you shoot them. When I was a teenager my geepaw would take old shotgun shells & open em up & remove the buckshot & he put a small amo...

Yes Bullseye you are exactly right. My bud couldn't wait for a chance to shut this guy up. He's one of those guys that pulls up to the shop & ten guys are trying to squeeze out the back door at the same time to leave. I pretty much get along with everybody but he's one guy that you just don't care t...

Thanks Bullseye I'll check that out.

I'm in N. Central IN, Grant Co. to be exact. Does anybody know of any .22 competitions around this area? There is a .22 shoot next month at the local FOP but I've not found much info on this. Id like to find some info on this shoot & any other in this area. I got a mark lll 22-45 for my daughter spe...

Has anybody seen or used these shells? http://www.winchester.com/Products/New-Products/Pages/pdx1-410.aspx They are designed for the 45LC/.410 handguns as a home defense solution. They have what win. calls "defense disc" projectiles that are shaped kinda like the little hearing aide type batteries. ...

Yes bullseye I tried to explain to him how to fix it & offered to show him what had happened but he insisted that he was an "expert gunsmith" & there was no way that with his level of expertise he could have done something so stupid. And typically I would not have rubbed his nose in it but he kept o...

I just picked up another 22-45 marklll the other day. I was at my buddies gun shop & guy walks in a said he wanted to sell this broken gun. My buddy said he didn't want it if it was broke. I said what's broke & he told me & I instantly knew what was wrong. He missed the mainspring-hammer strut align...

I've been kinda leaning towards the .223 but wanted a little feedback from some of you guys first. Charlesb, I'm in Indiana do the .243 is a no-go for deer for us. Has to be basically revolver cartridges for us to use rifles. .357 or larger with a min case length of 1.2" & a max case length of 1.8" ...
