You can also email ( check their website ) the ‘Sierra bulletsmiths’ ( they do reply back soon ) and ask for a recommendation for any cal/bullet/brass/primer/powder combo. It doesn't have to be their bullets, they are happy to help.

Those guys are smart and really stay up on both new and old loads.

Not me. I don’t have any guns. They are evil and not needed for anything just like the govt. says.

Dillon Precision, the best reloading equipment available, and it is called reloading, not packing!

It does look like a model 66. I have one of the originals with the cylinder recesses in 2.5in. Great for shooting at night when a flash is needed to take a quality picture at the same time!

“In our “Argentinian” future, I predict that the .22 LR round will be the new dollar bill.”

Cabelas has been having spectacular sales on some of the better .22 bulk ammo. I have seen the Federal 36 grain HP high velocity 375 round bulk pack on sale for $9.99. That is only 2.6 cents a round. Reviews of the Federal ammo have been quite good. The Cabelas sale seems to be an on again, off again type of thing. I have seen it on for several weeks of the last three months.

I purchased several thousand rounds as I used up the last of the Remington Peters .22 that I bought about 1980. Thirty year old .22 ammo worked great.

Is that an original TT-33 there bottom right, or a Type 54?

Where did you get it?

Nice collection, BTW.

“Is that an original TT-33 there bottom right, or a Type 54? “

To me, it looks like a Colt 1903 in .32 or .380.

*** what do you think is a good home protection fire arm ***

That's a question with no 'right' answer. As its all dependent on 'you'.

For some it'll be a 12ga Pump Shotgun, while to others that would be the 100% wrong weapon. Ditto on a .45 Auto, or any semi-auto handgun for that matter. It gets down to:

• Age
• Physical condition.
• Stature: height, weight, and even hand size.
• Male of Female.
  
• Location
  and...
  
• Familiarity with Firearms

Then when that's determined you have to get into the ammunition used for that 'right' weapon for you.

A GOOD Gun Shop with certified instructors and/or knowledgeable salesmen can help in all the above. Plus, read all you can on Firearms of every type. (Tons of info at your fingertips.)

A big honking 'Hand Cannon' will do you zero good if you can't hit your target with it. Or if a 12ga Shotgun will knock you on your behind from the recoil. Or if you drop them after the 1st shot from your Arthritis.

I predict that the .22 LR round will be the new dollar bill.

I've actually had the exact same thought.

When the ethnic wars begin in CA, and I have no doubt one day they will, the guilty white...unarmed...liberals will be the first to be driven from their homes and their women raped.

LOL!!!!!

(I’ve noticed a lot of people missing the joke, that’s almost as funny as the joke itself!)

One of my “super” Wal-Marts here have had similar prices, if not better. Strange that they don’t sell firearms anymore.

[painter]

You are right.If it gets bad enough a 22 round will put food on the table. Gold won’t.

[Lady Jag]

He already has.

Here in Central Missouri they do.
