Tell me about the H R 999 revolver.
Once upon a time. Long, long ago in a faraway land. I decided to get a 22 handgun. I had a rifle and a shotgun only. I bought the cheapest revolver a gun store owner had, H and R 999. There was log in the forest and I began using it as a backstop for targets. I shot and shot. I wanted a...- Mustangs Rule

What 100 year old cartridges do you use
Just for reference I was using Whelen's during the period I called the Boar Wars hunting huge feral pigs invading large California Barely Ranches. This followed the banning of mountain lion hunting. So with them preying heavily on boar, the Black Russian Boar genes prevailed, and these critters...- Mustangs Rule

My first Whelen was a Remington Classic Model 700 with the original 1/16 twist. Col Whelen was an outdoors man who would go on these five-month journeys into unknown country in Northern BC, living off the land often on small game and large game. Read his "Red Letter Days in British Columbia"...- Mustangs Rule

what twist are you going with, 1/16, 1/14, or 1/12. I had the first two, if doing another Whelen I would go with the 1/16, Can MOA with the 200 grain Barnes TSX, Can shoot the 158 grain RN 38 pistol bullets down loaded for small game dam well and makes decent shot loads for grouse or quail up...- Mustangs Rule

I had a 35 Remington in my early 20's. Was in a 336 "T" for Texan, had the straight cowboy style grip. Made real a real good small game rifle when downloaded with 38 caliber, "357" lead bullets pushed by a load of Unique powder. Also made shot loads for it with those Speer shot capsules. I...- Mustangs Rule

I sold my 7x57 to get a 280. I sold my 280 to get a 280 AI. It was in super light Kimber Hunter and a tack driver. It bored me. I sold it. Now I am looking for a classic 7x57 again. Anyone have positive words about the 7x57 to mitigate my madness. I mean,,, why not just get a 7mm-08???- Mustangs Rule

One topic i really get into is R and D, the effects of Research and Development especially in WW2 Over and...- Mustangs Rule
