I don't handload as it is, though it has been tempting to buy some brass colored paint, then go out and buy some Blazer 9mm aluminum cased ammo, just to screw with the brass rat boomers at the range.

Handloading has crossed my mind many times over the last few years. May wait until PSA gets their own powder facility running and get the reloading equipment then. Would have to get at least 2 books to cross reference every recipe. Since it would be for ARs, its different than say a bolt gun.

Another one jumped in the truck on my way home.
410/22
Put several ounces of lead on the other side of the yard to test functionality.
This is pretty cool.





Some one made a silver spoon T-guard. I dig it.

That almost looks like one my brother has. With the thumb break and all. Ithaca?

I had a Savage like that. I did not know any other company made them. What brand is that one? It looks like fun.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Savage model 24.
This one is made some where between 1950-64.
Early versions were called Steven's
Later versions were also made with different bore sizes.
Discontinued in 2010.

That’s what some might call a Fudd Gun, but I like Fudd Guns because they’re honest, unassuming and devoid of “tactical black plastic“ but they still work. I like seeing guns and other items that have been used so hard that parts broke and they were repaired with whatever was on hand. If you hadn’t told me that was a spoon, I might not have known at all. Is it real silver?

Edited to add: I think there was Savage, Stevens, Savage-Stevens, and we’re now back to Savage.

My pew pew question is, how in the heck does a .30-06 bullet fired at 150 yards into the side of a *deer’s neck* make a small dime-sized entry wound, no exit wound and creates almost no observable hydrostatic temporary wound cavity on entry?

Look up the word SABOT.
I load .224 cal bullets into a plastic sabot and into 30-30 cases. The small bullet travels very fast, sometimes shredding itself in the target. Also, since the bullet in conained in a plastic cup, it never touches the rifling, thus cannot be traced to the rifle that fired it. The plastic sabot is segmented so it catches air and flies away from the projectile. I hope that answers your question.

My Savage was .222 over 20 ga. I wish I had kept that one.

I have some sabot pellets for my air rifles.

Speaking of;
Any of you guys seen those vids where a guy 3d printed a potato cannon. Rifled barrel and he makes whizzers and sabots for golf balls
