Source for hard cast handgun bullets?

I've been doing a lot of fly fishing along the Idaho & Montana border lately. The area is full of mountain lions, bears, moose and reports of wolves. I'm looking for hard cast 180gn .357 bullets similar to what Underwood uses in their ammo. I would just buy the Underwood ammo but it is way too expensive to practice with, so I want to roll my own. My .44 is bigger & heaver than I like to carry while fly fishing, my Python is perfect. Who makes your favorite hard cast?

Obvious movie reference joke - leads to arrest and terrorism charges


It’s old news but but beginning to work towards some type of resolution.

Man swatted and arrested and charged with terrorism charges for Covid joke on facecrook. The joke was linked to a scene in the movie World War Z.

It’s taken 2 courts nearly 3 years to decide that the man’s rights were violated and he now has the option to sue for damages.

Must have been some of those “good ones “ that didn’t enforce Covid tyranny.
Scary stuff the American we knew is dead. Plan accordingly

+P chamber throats

So, I'm throwing this out here and I'm going to be very blunt about it and I'll also make a post on accurate shooter even though I'm not on there a lot.

Here is my stance on +P chamber throats. You're cutting away the height of the lands as well as making the throat longer (as much as another .750" from what we've seen) as I understand it and from what I've seen in several barrels customers have sent back to us. So, guys think they can run a heavier powder charge and keep pressures down etc... to get more velocity. Ok fine but by doing that you can expect it to have a negative impact on barrel life/accuracy.

This is another variable beyond our control. You want to put a bigger camshaft in your cars engine and a bigger carburetor I get it but then you add nitro methane in your gas tank or put nitrous on it as well to go even faster.... there is a tradeoff for going faster and doing things like this. You don't get to eat your cake and keep it to.

So, I've told all my guys in the office here... I will not warranty any barrel that a customer thinks the barrel died early etc... and they are running a +P chamber set up.

Later, Frank

Starlink workaround

We are in a rural area with only 1 option for internet with no option for fiber optic anytime soon. Our current provider sucks balls. Service interuptions throughout the day are a giant pain in my ass.

I've been exploring Starlink but they don't have coverage in my area. Last trip out to my FFL he started telling me about his new Starlink service. His address isn't in a service area so he ordered it using an address in a service and took back and mounted it at his shop. Seems like an easy solution. Has anyone else tried this and made it work?

Meopta Binos- I think I was wrong about them

I was looking at Vortex, Kowa, Zeiss, Leica, etc,etc. to use for back ups binos and for the grandkids to use on their hunts.

After spending time with all of them the Meopta MeoPro HD's (10x42) were the ones I went with and now that I have had some real time with them I am really impressed. While I still think the EL's are my favorite I dont really feel like there is all that much difference between mid range binos at 25% of the cost of the high dollar models. I would also add that the Meopta'sMeoPro's are better than similarly priced other brands.

Dont want to start a bino war here.......I was just very very pleasantly surprised at how great the Meopta's really are in the field.

This is going to be epic Tin foil hat fodder!!!


Not that us Reynolds Bowler types have been wrong a lot lately.

But what nefarious thing could they be plotting with this…

I think everyone should turn off phones and put in faraday bags…. Unplug TV. Take batteries out of radio… put foil over car satellite receiver…

Just to fuck with FEMA.

Just too good an opportunity!

Florida fixing to get pounded again

Damn between the hurricanes from the south or the east or the clowns from the north or south. Its getting old pretty fast these days.
Weather channel calling for a storm surge of 10-15 ft in the big bend area. Thats a bunch for sure. Hopefully everyone has pulled the oun and got the hell out of the area.
I love the big bend area for sure. Love fishing, spearfishing just the whole area itself. Time slows down when over there.
Be safe for the folks that are in the area. Gonna be a cat 1 in my area sometime tomorrow but not the surge coming with it

buying a cargo van to start a business?

I'm on what you'd call a budget. As in 'I need to pay cash for something like a Sprinter or Transit to work out of

Checked ebay. SPEN-dee
Checked CL in various cities. Not as spendy as ebay, but nothing really on the market
Edmunds? ditto
carfax? ditto again

There's one Sprinter in TX on the govt surplus auction site that seems affordable, but that's in TX and I'm not.

There are Sprinters and Transits that are older, but not beat to crap? I don't mind fixing something to save the $$

where else is there to check?

maui fire ?

saw on line that black fences are being placed around the fire scenes and that no pictures,drones,reporting or inspection allowed. also,no comments forthcoming from any gov agency,state,local or fed. .this was said to be odd because the nwo tools would usually be spouting BS about global warming being the cause. any truth or confirmation of this narrative?
