Re: Introduce yourself

Hello All, Mike Williams here, #23339. I go by Gus on the forums. Finally back down in the Lower 48 (spent the last 20 years up in Alaska). I've renewed my IHMSA membership and can't wait to get back out to a range, resurrect the old silhouette pistols and start knocking over steel targets. Shot my ...

Re: What's your handle mean?

I've had the nickname Gus since 1983. I was in the Air Force, stationed at Tinker AFB, and some people were trying to guess my middle name. No one could come up with it and one of the guys simply dubbed me Gus. I kind of liked it. I also use Gus on the Project Appleseed forums where I'm an instructo...

Re: Wichita 7mm int-r

This topic is right in my wheel house! In the Wichita the 7R is a great choice. A big reason is the .45 Auto grip. And…..that .45 Auto grip is not a good one for really stout loads.

Re: 22 Hornet twist rate

I always felt the .22 Hornet was plenty for field pistol-even when some clubs had 1/2” plate rams. I have a factory tc Hornet barrel (circa 1984) and with speer 52 gr hollow points at 1800 fps there was no damage to chickens and plenty of momentum for rams. My optic was a super simple tasco propoint...

Re: New guy with a 7mm INT -R

I have always been a huge fan of the 7mm Int-R(7R for short). Super easy to make and fire form the brass. I have two Contender barrels for it. First is a rechambered 14” 7 TCU barrel ( the work was done by Robert Gates in 1983). Work was first class and it dearly loves 748 as a propellant and Hornad...
