Ah yes, Bud's. I ordered from them once and I think my order status went something like: "submitted, processing, charged, sent to packaging, packing, sent to shipping, thinking about shipping soon, loading on truck, in transit, still in transit, arriving soon, arrived at shipping hub, unloading, thinking about loading, loading, in transit to final destination, delivery delayed, delivered."

On a serious note, I sure wish someone would make a pistol caliber pump rifle at an affordable price. A short-stroke, 12 round, 45 acp would be short, light, and pack a punch loaded hot.

So what are you going to put on that Gibbs? A peep sight?

Eventually a scout scope which will mean some custom milled bases.

Nice piggy... makes me want to move down south to get into a target rich environment. Ive never noticed that powder...has it been out long? I haven't dipped into the new enduron stuff yet either.

Jacksonville or Houston would put you in hog country.

The powder has been around since the 308 & 338 Marlin Express cartridges were introduced.

Sounds like ordering from Radical in H-town. Bought an in stock upper, charged me right away. Waited ten weeks for it to show. Lost interest and sold it without use.

I have an opportunity to tune up a hog-riddled lease I'm not a member of before November. I don't hunt. It's close to home so maybe 183 grain lead .357 will do some work soon.
