Re: Cavalier Rifle and Pistol Club Question

I've been a member for 20 some odd years. I'm not sure that there's any slots available right now. Cavalier is one fine range.

Re: range in Richmond.. Dominion?

I'm at CSA two three times per week.
When I enter the range the RSOs are paying attention to what is going on and being helpful.

Re: Garand or AR?

I would not advise either. Why not get an Armalite AR10. You would have the high capacity for the AR15 and the knock down of the 30-06.

Re: range in Richmond.. Dominion?

There's two top of the line ranges in the Richmond area Colonial Shooting Academy (indoors) and Cavalier Rifle and Pistol (out doors).
They both have fair prices for their membership.

Re: Reloading Boxer-primed steel cases in .45 ACP

Back when I was competing I got couple of steel cases mixed into batch of 45 acp cases I was reloading. Even with a carbide die it was a bit push and pull on the press handle to resize it.
Have fun, personally the steel cases make good landfill.

Re: DIY Bore Cleaner

Ed's Red works pretty good, unless you have copper problems. It's kind of nice to put the muzzle of your rifle in the bucket of Ed's Red and use the cleaning rod with patch to pull cleaner up in the barrel and push it out, getting fresh cleaner with each stroke. I've used the one gallon of cleaner t...

Re: Lead 22LR bullets as bad as some say?

Gents; The postings about Remington 22 rim fire ammo. Many years ago when I was first starting to shoot bulls-eye matches I found and bought some Remington target ammo, something like 2,500 rounds. With my High Standard Citation I had at least one failure to fire in every box of 50. After a few matc...

Re: How's the market for reselling hunting rifles?

As I remember Kimbers are high quality rifles. Is this a walnut and blued steel or plastic and stainless?
Unless you are pushed to sell, put it back in the vault and let it appreciate.

Re: 9MM HP or .45ACP FMJ?

Well, a 9mm HP hopes to be come .45. The 45 round will not shrink.
Use truncated cone 230 fmj or cast SWC and you will have resolved any real or imagined lack in the 45.
