We had a lot of fun this week and talked to several callers.
In the first segment I enjoyed talking to Bill from “Bills Barbershop” in Saline, MI. Bill has been a friend for decades and has help to instill the love of firearms, Shooting Sports, and the Outdoors in his clientele.
Bill explains about his game mounts in the Barbershop, and his support for a new generation of hunters. I have seen how proud young hunters are when they bring in their first Buck or Doe to show Bill. For many it is a right of passage in their development as a hunter!
In the second segment caller Phil from Salem Township wanted to know about handloading for a lever gun with a tubular Magazine. We talked about Flex tip bullets such as the Hornady FTX which is designed to prevent a “chain fire” in the magazine while still giving good ballistic performance.
Phil also wanted to know about using some round nosed soft tip 180 gr. projectiles in the 30-30. I checked and have been unable to find a recommended loading for a 180 gr bullet in a 30-30. I also would be concern that it may not fit correctly depending on where the cannelure is and also would the correct terminal performance occur considering 30-30 velocities. Personally I would suggest to to projectiles designed for the 30-30 no larger than 170 gr. or use the nes Hornady FTX in 160 gr.
Bruce from Plymouth, MI call to get a duggestion on the new Glock 42 versus the Sig P238.
Sig P238 .380 acp
Glock 42 – .380 acp
An important issues was the recall of some Winchester M-22 22lr ammo. and I have listed the affected lots below:
Winchester is announcing a recall of two lots of M-22 .22 Long Rifle ammunition. If you have any M-22 on hand please check it now to see if it’s affected by this recall.
The lot numbers are GD42L and GD52L and the symbol number is S22LRT. This is a serious warning as some of the cartridges may be double-charged, which can lead to catastrophic failures and possible harm to the shooter.
Winchester is not mincing words with their safety warning when they say, “Ammunition with double powder charges may subject the shooter or bystanders to a risk of serious personal injury and/or death, or cause firearm damage, rendering the firearm inoperable.”
We looked at some new ammo that promises increased stopping power in the third segment.
