Re: lever gun .45 question

I have a Hartford arms ( upscale Rossi) .45 Colt 1892 is Saddle ring carbine. It is a pleasure to shoot and built solid. You can shoot black powder equivalent Cowboy loads or 44 magnum equivalent bear loads and everything in between. If you reload 45 Colt is extremely versatile but even commercial l...

Re: 300BLK becoming even more mainstream

I figured we hit the big time when I saw this at Walmart.

Fiocchi 150 grn 300BLKC best price I have seen.

This is the best price I have ever seen for factory new 300 blk. Palmetto State Armory has it for 40 cents per round, $19.99 for 50. I had problems with the first batch that I bought of this ammo last year but the replacement they sent me, in very generous quantity , has been flawless.http://palmett...

Re: Fiocchi 150 grn 300BLKC Issues? What is wrong with this pic

I got my replacement ammo a few weeks ago and was very happy with it. No malfunctions, fairly accurate, and not especially dirty. They also sent me quite a bit extra for my trouble. It wasn't fast but in the end they treated me well. Here is a video of me shooting it. I only shot a total of 100 roun...

Re: 300 BO with Sig Brace, 10.5 inch barrel. I question price

What got my interest last year was the fact that the Sig brace doesn't require a tax stamp for a less than 16" barrel. I drooled all over the first magazine article from Sig when I first saw them. Sig thinks a lot more of them than $599.00. I have a threaded bolt gun in 300 BO, 16" barrel...

Re: Remington 120 Blown Primers

Looks like some ejector smear going on there. Hmm, I didn't look at the cases on the new replacement ammo to see if it had the same markings. I'm away from home for a couple of weeks so I can't check now unfortunately. Ejector smear would be a sign of over pressure? Or are there other causes? I hav...

Re: Remington 120 Blown Primers

I was very happy with the Barnes / Remington 120 gr. OTFB that I bought at Walmart. It was accurate and it functioned 100%. One batch of Fiocchi 150 gr. FMJ had the kinds of problems described in my 8.5" pistol. I sent it to them for testing and they replaced it plus gave me quite a bit of extr...

Re: 300 BO with Sig Brace, 10.5 inch barrel. I question price

I have one of their 300BLK 8.5" uppers. Fit and finish were good. It works great with supers, surprisingly accurate for such a short barrel. It does not cycle with Remington 220 gr. subs. I haven't tried any others and I don't have a can. The only reason I didn't buy the complete pistol was bec...

Re: Fiocchi 150 grn 300BLKC Issues? What is wrong with this pic

Thanks for the info. I really wish Fiocchi would own up to this issue and replace the unfired ammo with stuff that's not garbage... Troy from Fiocchi was good to me. I emailed him the picture below and he sent me a link to a prepaid label for it's return It took a while because they had to wait for...

Re: Subsonic through bulletproof glass.

And the guy just can't get it through his head that 300 BLK excels in anything other than subsonic.
