      From the back of the Gun safe, "It's a Sig! It's a Walther! it's a Hammerli?"

      Those are fun guns to play with, but in no way are they comparable to a 208.

      Shotgun Show and Tell

      I picked up a M2 recently. Added a magazine extension, barrel clamp w/ light mount, and a larger charging handle.

      M1911 recoil spring weight

      What ammo are you shooting out of it? Is that the only ammo you'll use? Like a couple others have said, 1911 recoil springs need to be tailored to the load. In my 1911s I run between 11 and 22 lbs springs depending on the gun and load combination.

      May back this off a little.

      The edges of the primer are still very radiused and not flat and square. What does the firing pin hole look like on that gun? What's your load?

      So.. what are you reloading at the moment??

      Loading/testing 45ACP with 185 JHPs just under 1200fps safely.

      Why does slamming the slide closed on an empty chamber or dry firing damage a handgun?

      I believe Ruger MKII's are safe to dry-fire.

      Why does slamming the slide closed on an empty chamber or dry firing damage a handgun?

      The only guns I'm concerned about dry firing is rimfire, don't want the firing pin to indent the barrel/chamber. I dry fire (without snap caps) my 1911s and revolvers 2-3 times as much as I shoot them, no concern at all.

      Smith and Wesson 1854 Lever Gun 44 mag

      The wood should have some decorative checkering or hand stippling for that price.

      Minimum and maximum overall length 22-250

      Not at all, this was before Lapua offered them in 22-250. I used to use Norma brass but would blow out primer pockets in 4 shots, Lapua lasted a lot longer.

      Minimum and maximum overall length 22-250

      I did that about 10 years ago. I used Lapua 30-06 brass and formed them into 22-250, then shot them in my Ackley chambered rifle. In the end I had 100 pcs of perfectly formed brass for that gun but it was an arduous process...

      Minimum and maximum overall length 22-250

      I assume you have a custom barrel on that rifle? I haven't seen a factory chambered 22-250 with an 8 twist to stabilize those bullet weights. With that aside your limitations are the max length the gun can feed and extract a loaded round, and the distance to the lands. Like you said, you can...

      What is your EDC caliber?

      Wow...! I can't believe I'm the only one to say this and it's not in the poll, 38 SUPER! I carry a custom 1911 CCO in 38 Super. My defensive loads are pushing a 125gr Gold Dot close to 1400 fps.
