I had one for a while. When I chrono'd it I found out my 5" 1911 was faster than the 16" carbine. I expect drag from the long slide down the pipe began to decelerate the bullet toward the end of trip. Fun gun, but my AR45 holds more firepower so it went to someone else. Got a premium for it...

I believe the TV dude Meateater, contracted it from undercooked bear meat as well.

I just level the receiver and then hang a string in front of the scope. I have seen turret housings that weren't perfectly square to the reticle and I would never trust the top of a turret cap to be true.

I think it would be easier to do from the other end. Remove the barrel, cut it, rethread it, cut the ERH and rod, etc. Not familiar with anyone local to you, tho. I'd just send it to Jack.

Not all "military" brass is created equal. I load it all the time, but I cull out the heavy cases that have thicker case walls. Anything over 97 grains, with primer, is removed from the group. Some cases weigh as much as 110 grains or more. Loads that fill a proper case to the bottom of the...

Gun laws don't apply to criminals. Anti's just don't understand how that works.

I prefer the Gerber multi-tools where the pliers slides outward along the handles. I can easily open with one hand in less than a second, just a flick of the wrist. That ability has come in handy many, many, times.

Fastest bolt action operator? That was me, my first deer season, carrying a sporterized 303 British. First deer I saw, on the run, 10 rounds off fast as I could run the bolt. Did not draw a hair, hahaha...

Because?

First thing I thought of. The barrel would burst, same as if you stuff the muzzle in mud.

45 Colt/454 Casull would get my vote.

Funny you should ask. I am, but I am right eye dominant so I have always shot right handed.

Another one? They should just call it the Jerry book, he owns so many.

Doesn't Ruger still mark convertible cylinders with the last 3 of the serial #?

If it has a fixed ejector, as with most blowback actions, it is likely not adjusted correctly. The ejector should ride right up against the bolt or it will fail to kick the empties out. Easy enough to DIY, but being a new gun Ruger should take care of it.
