New York City Confiscating Rifles And Shotguns

If ever anyone doubted the reasons that the NRA vehemently opposes gun registration, here is a good example.  New York has changed the rules and is coming after citizens’ firearms based on registration records.  Letters being sent to owners contain the following language:

“It appears you are in possession of a rifle and/or Shotgun (listed below) that has an ammunition feeding device capable of holding more than five (5) rounds of ammunition. Rifles and shotguns capable of holding more than five (5) rounds of ammunition are unlawful to possess in New York City, as per NYC Administrative Code 10-306 (b).”

“You have the following options,” the letter explains.

“1. Immediately surrender your Rifle and/or Shotgun to your local police precinct, and notify this office of the invoice number. The firearm may be sold or permanently removed from the City of New York thereafter.

2. Permanently remove your Rifle and/or Shotgun from New York City and provide the following…Disposition Report/Registration Certificate…Notarized statement of permanent removal…Utility bill or other proof of residency regarding the address where the firearm will be stored outside the City of New York.

Advantages of Granular Powder in Muzzleloaders

By Glen Wunderlich

For those of us that handload their own ammunition, the resulting accuracy can be quite satisfying.  Even though modern factory ammunition rivals that of the do-it-yourselfer, shooters that want to squeeze the most from a given firearm, still build their own loads.  With muzzleloaders, however, each of us becomes a handloader of necessity.

Although many facets of muzzleloading have changed over the past 150 years, – including powder, primers, projectiles and firearms – we still handload each charge one at a time.  Traditionalists use genuine black powder, while the modern hunter may opt for black powder substitutes, which minimize the potential for fouling and corrosion.

One of the most popular muzzleloading powders on the market today is Hodgdon’s Triple Seven powder.  The modern powder can produce some of the most consistent results and that’s what accuracy-minded handloaders want.  This fuel comes in various configurations – pellets of various weights and granular in sizes of FFg and FFFg.

Before getting into granular formations, a few words about the handy pellets are in order:  pelletized powder is not consistent.  When weighed, they can vary as much as several grains.   Add to this malady the fact that the pellets can be damaged by bouncing them around, they become even more inconsistent.  Not so with granular.

Nosler® Unveils World’s Most Powerful 6.5mm Commercial Cartridge

Bend, OR — Like many shooting enthusiasts, the Nosler family has always dreamed of introducing a new rifle cartridge to the industry; that time is finally here with the arrival of the 26 Nosler®.
The goal of the new 26 Nosler® cartridge was to introduce something to the shooting sports industry that took full advantage of new technology available to shooters including the advance of optics, reticle systems and of course high Ballistic Coefficient (B.C.) bullets such as the AccuBond® Long Range™ line. The old boundaries are about to be pushed to new limits.
The 26 Nosler® cartridge was designed to take advantage of the inherently accurate and high B.C. 6.5mm (.264) caliber bullets, and is capable of shooting the Nosler® 129 grain, AccuBond® Long Range™ bullet at a blazing 3400 fps out of the muzzle.  Zeroed at 350 yards, the 26 Nosler® has a Point Blank Range of 0-415 yards.  Loaded with the 129gr ABLR, the 26 Nosler® retains as much velocity at 400 yards as the 260 Remington® produces at the muzzle.
