.21 SHARP, what is it?

Screw that noise. I like my lead bullets and lead core bullets. I like that they tend to be more accurate, expand more easily, cost less, weigh more for the length, and probably one or two more advantages vs monolithic copper, or some special alloy.
If the Gubbernment decides your not allowed use lead ammo then it doesn't really matter what you'd prefer to use.

That's the main reason behind the .21 sharps.

Suppressors Please help educate me on .357 cans

Hey Guys,

So I picked up a lever action .357 mag as a fun steel target gun and now I want to put a can on it. I am pretty confused about what 7.62, 36 cal, 9mm cans working with .357. Form what I gather .45 can is the proper guaranteed to work way to go but of course I don't own any .45 cans. I recently saw with a quick google search that that someone was running an Enticer Ti on a .357 lever gun and by chance I have an Enticer Ti but im to scared to try it as logically .357" is larger than .308" I also have a 9mm can and these seem to be alot more accepted for 357 use but still technically 9mm is a hair smaller than 357. I also have a Hux Flow Range 36 in jail.

So I guess my question is what is the proper size can for a 357? and can you get away with a 36 cal can or 9mm can?

CHINA IS F###ED

some random China thoughts.
Taiwan a big ? mark with a complex history. Japanese possession til '45. mainland always considered them kinda backwards "yellow trash". didn't pay it much attention. that changed when Chiang essentially invaded it in '49 after Mao's win. remember the artillery exchanges at Quemoy and Matsu in 50s? the Nixon China action and making up the 1 china idea to bug Russia and split the commie world is a cause of a bunch of our problems. Chiang being there caused Mao to get interested. the idea to help China get rich and become a "democracy" was more idiocy. that and losing our manufacturing base caused by greedy unions,execs and the IRS was our added suicidal idiocy. BTW Taiwan was never ruled by Peking or really considered a part of China during it's long imperial history.
protecting Taiwan with force will get us trashed. big ocean full of bad subs. eventually would go nuc because our neocons couldn't take another defeat like VN or ME. kinda like China invading Cuba.

I'm stumped...bolt won't close

Pull the bullet on a known "hard to close round" and try to chamber that empty case w/o a bullet. That would isolate the possibility of over size cases, which are not uncommon.

You could have more than one thing going on.....

Usually, jamming a bullet into a tight leader or throat that hard would result in a bullet staying stuck in the bore and powder all in the action when extracting the case. Rub marks on the bullet may only be a secondary issue. Maybe, maybe not...

Isolate and remove one thing at a time from the equation.

Get ready for the Cartels to step up their game,...

tough job to do. likely as bad or worse than VN. who is the enemy? remember 1/5+ of Mexicans work for or are dependent on cartels. where/how to get reliable intel? mostly spec op work? open or clandestine missions? air support? penetrate Mex airspace an act of war? how far so. to go? how to handle cities? maritime actions?
bad idea IMHO. best to bring back all branches back to this country. totally close the border-free fire,mine fields,sophisticated monitoring,clean out cities with military force. posse comitatus is not an issue. exceptions in the law as written and used in the past at least twice. i think taking out the profit motive by opening the laws,cleaning out homeless camps caused by the drug trade,ignoring ODs would be a big help. plenty of work to be given to police and ICE.
we are at war inside our borders folks.
