Buying a Handgun is Hard

I dropped mine on a concrete floor last Thursday and bent the rod that holds the cylinder. I don't know the exact name for that part and am finding it difficult to source a replacement. I have all three of them - .22 short, .22 long rifle, and .22 magnum. When I carry them, I use the .22 long rifle and the belt buckle. Of course, most folks think it is just a "cute" belt buckle.

My plan is to call the factory for some assistance - when I get the time.

Apparently I am supposed to take some photos of my recent purchase US property marked flintlock and percussion pistols. I got them out of the vault last night and hope to take some photos today . . . but I have an entry door sitting on my Shop workbench with a new refinish job. If the "varnish" is dry, I can deliver and install it this morning. It is the exterior front door for a new lawyer's office. They thought it was going to be done Monday, so it is kind of a priority.

Saw one of these yesterday on Tail of the Dragon

From what I have been told the weekdays are the best time to go there. The weekend it's crowded with pirates, Judas Priest dressers and power rangers.
I've avoided it and will never ride it. There's way too many better places to ride around here.

New to PRS, MPA Barreled Action, Custom, or something else?

If you're shooting factory ammo stick with 6.5 creed or 6 creed. I agree that 6 creed has shorter barrel life, but by the time you shoot it out you'll have learned enough to know what you want next. My Bergara 6.5 creed factory barrel lasted 1600 rounds before I started losing velocity so it wasn't much better than friends 6 creeds. Now I'm finding out how long the 6 Dasher will last.

That doesn’t speak well for Bergara barrels as 1600 rounds is no where near where a 6.5 Creed should be shot out. The earliest I ever had one go was around 2400 rounds and most closer to 2800-3000.

I was told the gas tank was empty.
My foot was not on the accelerator.
The engine started itself.
I was not driving; I was sitting in the passenger seat.
He claimed that the truck cut him off. The dashcam shows that Alex tried to pass the truck on the right side.

.308 Winchester

Been reloading 308 for past 12 years. Came across this Hornady bullet while trying to find a high BC bullet out of my 1:11.25 twist in my seekins havak HIT. Will be going to the range tomorrow to see how it shoots. Check it out…

Do keep us posted. I've got a box of them myself, but I haven't loaded any yet. Waiting on my jug of varget to show up.

TRG appreciation thread - Part III

Trying to mimic the Lapua factory load with 175gr Scenar-L. Got 808m/s with the factory load, any idea of a good starting point? I assume they use some kind of N140...anyone got a load for that configuration?
@VargmatII ?

I didn't find my notes yesterday... will try to remember to look again.

That was depressing. For a bit of motivation.
I was heading down the driveway and saw one of the cows in difficulty so I stopped and jumped the fence. I pulled the calf and cleared her nose and mouth. The cow started her cleaning. I waited until the calf got up and I got it on a teet. Not the best way to start a day but it was an awesome way to start a day.
