    ruger american ranch 7.62x39 ammo

    Thanks. I was just wondering if the SST will penetrate though the heavy bone to get to the vitals. I have used the tula 154gr sp in 7.62x39 and it did well. But the trick is accuracy. They gotta hit where you want them. The tula did not shine in those cases. Yes they worked fine but not as...

    ruger american ranch 7.62x39 ammo

    Ok thats a good start for sure. Actually I would rather load them. How do you guys think they would do on tough ole boar? They are pretty heavily boned.

    ruger american ranch 7.62x39 ammo

    Yeah I really don't mind reloading for it but but don't know a good starting point. My buddy helped me once with a rifle he owned. I was having trouble with accuracy with it. He gave me his receipe and it worked perfectly. If I had a good starting point I would work a load up but so far...

    Thanks I looked the ammo up and found it. I thought they may make different weights and wanted to know what shot well in your rifle. Like I said the tula works but..........

    ruger american ranch 7.62x39 ammo

    Yeah thanks. I have a bunch of the tula 154sp and really not that confident in it. Yes it takes boar but not as accurate as I would like. What grain is the Hornady SST?

    mini 30 10round mags (Ruger Mags)

    Yeah maybe your right. I have found them but not cheap for sure. I forgot about the 20% coupon thanks. I don't know but think the 20 rounder is a bit much. Even for plinking or a range session to much weight. thanks again.

    mini 30 10round mags (Ruger Mags)

    Just got the American Ranch 7.62x39 yesterday and mounted the optic this afternoon. I would like to get a factory steel 10rd magazine for it. Having a hard time finding them. I know the ruger store has them but they are 40 bucks. Trying to find them a bit more reasonable. Any suggestions as...

    Ruger American Ranch rifle. BLK or 7.62x39

    Been doing quite a bit or research here but still have a few questions. I could care less about the 300Bk band wagon. I am looking for a rifle for deer and hogs. I hear the ballistics are close on these two rounds. So I am calling it a draw there. My concern is reloading and getting the...

    3" sp101 holsters

    Thinking again about a 3" sp101. Last time I really could not find much in the way of holsters. Has this changed? Can anyone suggest an owb? Not sure an iwb would work with it but if so that would be great. Any suggestions? thanks

    Powder coating

    I want to try some powder coating on some cast bullets. Can this be done inside? I am talking about the heating phase after the bullets have been coated. thanks

    Casting for the Security Six.

    Be certain to do your due diligence when you receive your wheel weights. In many areas the lead ones are all but gone; they've been replaced by zinc and iron weights. Be certain to check out the Cast Boolits Forum: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/index.php Yeah your right. I was picking...

    Lee tumble lube mold for .357

    Thanks, I saw a youtube where a guy had a formula using LLA, Johnsons past wax and paint thinner I think. The mix was 45-45 and 10% thinner. Do you just use the Johnsons right out of the can?
