JHC, California gets more ridiculous every day I am gone. Steel rounds suck. I have to use it at some target ranges here. Not enough mass. Ammo is spendy in any size or type now. Also .22 and other common ammo is nearly impossible to get in any volume.
We now sell non lead 22 ammo, the bullet is made of polymer. 22gr. And the price is even higher. It starts flying funny at 50 yds
 
Polymer? You have a web site with details on that stuff? I know depleted uranium is completely unobtanium, as it is armor and vest piercing. Never mind the radiation (they are "depleted", but they are still radioactive).

They are also pushing us to get premium insurance with a CCW here now. I already have an added $million$ liability policy for my guns, property and truck. I almost bought a Beretta Nano the other day. Trigger was a long pull and not quite right, but it was a great fit for my hand and the holster. I am still looking for a single stack 9 to carry. I did not like any of the Glocks. I have a Kahr 9 now that is OK, but low end.

I left CA for OR 10 years ago. I had a special CA permit for my DPMS Panther. Here its just another long gun. The Sheild was OK but did not feel good in my hands. Too small of a grip (my problem with most of the mono stackers). Most of my handguns are 'junk guns' in CA and not approved there. Though if I moved back I could bring them with me in a one time declaration deal. Not the AR though.
 
I can't take it anymore, all the bs about bullets! Nosler partitions are fair at best. I have recovered several nosler partitions with the front half missing, in everything from o6 to 338. It was a good bullet when the first came out, butt the modern bonded billers are far superior. Barnes billets are like shooting full metal jackets. Good in Africa not here.
The nosler is designed to blow the front half off. That's why they kill quickly.
 
You are wrong again! They are not designed to come apart, also it is one of the poorest quick killing billers mfg today
No, I'm not.. better do some research. And your opinions contridicts just about everyone elses...
Read Dr. Martin Fackler while your at it..you will find that bullets that fragment some kill much quicker.
 
Making blanket statements can get you in trouble. Fragmenting bullets kill varmints quickly, but a fragmenting bullet on the shoulder of a big game animal will just leave an ugly wound. For big game, you want a bullet that expands but does not fragment. The partition bullet does not have great expansion for the caliber.

I have done my research. I stopped using partitions before you were born. I found they performed inconsist. I have had the opportunity to go to the largest ammo mfg factory. We shot ammo of all mfg and bullets in test gelatin. We looked at wound channels, penetration, bullet expansion and weight retintion. Also with high speed cameras. I have also had meetings with the head bullet designers. I have testified as an expert witness on ballistics on more than 1 occasion. You should change your title to master BSer for those who would listen to you!

Speaking of BS. YOU just pegged my meter!

Read Fackler and get back with me...
The partition doesn't expand? Yoh kidding?
Your right that penetration to the vitals is important. However, a bullet that fragments some and pentrates (like a partitio) always kills faster. This isn't my opinion. It's been validated by peer reviewed research.
 
If you guys are looking for a good axe similar to gransfors but way less money ,may look at the husqvarna line ,i have 2 of them ,a carpenter ,and a felling axe ,have a nice feel ,and peel logs nice ,as well as cut ,i use my felling axe for wedges ,it sticks to the tree real nice when need somewhere to put it ,bottom one is splitting axe husqvarna carpenter axe 003.JPG husqvarna carpenter axe 001.JPG husqvarna axe 004.jpg husqvarna axe 007.JPG husqvarna axe 006.JPG

I agree and I believe the Husky axes are made by Wetterling (sp?), which makes good stuff.

I think i read that somewhere now that you bring it up ,a $200 gransfors ,can get a similar husky for $80ish if my memory is correct .I do wish i would have bought the hatchet instead of the carpenter axe for carpentry ,the carpenter is fairly large for detail work ,peeling fir logs and notching them ,i have been making due with my cheap fiskar x-7 for finish work ,it being fairly small
