Just one? Can't do it. Depends.
CCW it could be the Lady Smith, Colt Dick Special, or even the Charter Bulldog.

Cutting up an innertube used to be a "Cheap" solution. Nowadays, though, they're hard to find free.
But I have used them from time to time and find them quite adequate for the primary job, that...
IIRC, someone on CB did a test using the Mosin action. Ended up loading the case with Bullseye and blew the barrel off! But no damage to the receiver.
I'm not going to approach that type of...
You're probably right about the .243. It's a great cartridge available in a wide range of rifles. It's even been used quite successfully on elk, if at shorter range.
I think I'd go just a...
I use the Nosler 180 BT in my 300 Win Mag and it's killed everything I shot at, many DRT. Of course, the Speer 165 SPBT out of the '06 has killed just as well, and both rifles shoot into < 1" @ 100...
This sounds to me like you're not going to have any eye protection when you pull the trigger.
Not a condition I would accept.
I raise my glasses when looking through binoculars, but...
I was going to give you my load, but then I find mine weighs 250 grains.
You don't mention the platform you are using, so I don't even want to hazard a guess as to what to try.
Maybe someone...
My favorite jacketed '06 load is the 165 Speer SP BT. Winchester brass, WLR primer, and 58 grains of IMR 4831. Supposed to do about 2,750 fps, but I haven't fired any since we bought the...
THAT is pretty neat!! Having a brand new, 54 year old rifle to work with! Hope you get it shooting really sweet!:-D
Daniel,
Are you sure you meant 100 grain loads? In jacketed you really start about 129 grain, and in boolits it's still maybe 119 grain in the Lyman 266324.
Anyway, having followed some of your...
Yes, it has.:(
My similar experience was with a 6.5 x 55mm Swede in the Model 70 Featherweight. I still have the rifle, I've got WAY too much in it now to ever sell (and it's not a bad shooter,...
I sure like my long slide .38 Super Witness! Only thing I did wrong was NOT buy the upper in .45 ACP when it was available.
That .38 Super carries 19 rounds in the magazine!! I only put in 17...
I have always thought the MOST important thing I learned in JROTC was map reading and use of a compass.
If I have a compass and a map (USGS topo maps are very inexpensive and easy to carry) of...
I've never had a Ka-Boom, but rather on the other end of the spectrum. "Pop" and nothing else happens.
Years ago two young ladies, players on our softball team, were room mates in a section of...
This is the safe, reliable source for the "tad bit" of arsenic needed (in some cases) if you want to harden your lead. Water drop or, the way I prefer for continuity between boolits, heat treat in...
That's a GOOD one! I think I know a couple of places like that! SWMBO has even designated the section of town where they're located as a "No Drive" zone for me.:-D
Back in the 80's my Brother and I were Range Officers at the local gun club. He introduced me to a local guy that had bought a couple of those automatic loaders.
Turned out the guy somehow got a...
Merry Christmas Everyone!

I just went in to take a look at:
If you're willing to put up with the bother,:shock: just empty a Makers Mark bourbon bottle, and then cut the carnauba wax off that makes the decorative seal over the cap and neck of the bottle.
...
My favorite source for the "free" Carnuba wax is the red seal on the top of Makers Mark bottles.;)
It's actually fun to gather more wax!:coffee:
That'll work!
Some years ago I tried 52 or 53 IMR 3031 with the 457122 Lyman out of my Douglas barrelled Siamese Mauser. VERY stout, but the accuracy just wasn't what I wanted. I'm afraid the...
Try 3.5 Bullseye under the 185 SWC (#130 H&G or SAECO). Works VERY well in my GI with softball recoil spring.:coffee:
My old Lightweight Commander likes the 452460 Lyman SWC. And at 200 grains, it suits my CHEAP personality to get a few more boolits out of a pound of lead.:)
My accurized GI (my source shot it,...
That is definately a looker! Hope you're out shooting in right now. BTW, I like that knife as well.:wink:
It looks like the Commander size, which I REALLY like for CCW. Nice sights, too.
