Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Sheer trickery. Deflave will repent!

Flave never, ever repents or admits wrongdoing.

He's not going to start now.

But I give him credit for being consistent & being true to himself, like it or not.

MM

Great website, I appreciate the ballistic info.

Next time instead of BuffaloBore I’ll shop LostRiver.

I don't think flave is the real target.......

M_S

best of luck and success with the venture.

Can't help out presently, as St Benitez has not overturned our screwed up State's ammo buying restrictions.........................yet.

When he does, I will keep you in mind.

PS.......does Wally World require sobriety for entry?

PPS congrats to your daughter. Her bandana might need pulled up a bit more if she's going to follow in your footsteps of incognitoness. ( I am a Smartest Man on the Fire Emeritus, therefor I can make up words like that)

I was gonna order some 357 but they too long for a Colt cylinder.

Go fuqk yourself, this ain't about you.

Congrats M S, Imma buy something just because you're a good fella.

Nice website. As I have ordered, received and shot his ammo before, I can attest to the superb quality. Buy with confidence.

Awesome. Wishing you the very best of luck with it!

Does LostRiver have plans of manufacturing a “Colt” length heavy 357 mag? Shorter cases (38’s)?

Looking good so far Ted, good luck!


Frog---OUT!

Congratulations on the site, looks great! Will chime in as another satisfied customer...well done.

Congratulations, Ted! I am glad to see this because I have wanted to recommend your ammo on other forums but I couldn't because there was no website.

(You may want to think about adding some standard pressure hard cast .380 to the lineup. A lot of people do not carry hollow points in that caliber.)

I think you should hate buy some nice ammo.

Here is a nice link.

Site looks amazing Mackay!

Really some great pics.

I’d order some if I could.

Which liquor company should we be shorting now? That might sound selfish, but it's not, I figure we can all use the short-buy profits to buy more ammo from MS. Win/win/win/win/win/win.

Holy Heck!

You are right!


That kid has come a long ways.

Some of you have been around long enough to remember pics like this:

I had come back from the war. I think it was 07-08.

Here she is about 6 years old, shooting black powder blanks in a .45 Colt, busting baloons. She could hardly hold the gun up:



Then as a teen, she was Hell on Wheels:




Traveling all over. It was a struggle to get her to those places but well worth it.




The chaps she is wearing here are elk skin chaps and are absolutely gorgeous.

They were a gift from the Campfire's own Rockinbbar. He used them when he was a competitior in Mounted Shooting.

She very much loves treasures them.






Now she is leading pack strings in the back country and living her dream.


The apple does not fall far from the tree and I have had the conversation with her that it is a hell of a life, but it is not much of a living, so enjoy it while you can.

I will see if I can answer a few questions.

First,

Thank you all for the nice comments and any funds you have sent my way, it is very much appreciated and definitely needed right now!

More than most know in fact.

Sactoller.

I have some 41 Mag on hand and when I get caught up on orders I will get it into production. I don't have any .41 Colt though.

There is some .38 Short Colt coming though, which is the ultimate .38 Snubby cartridge for low recoil shooting. It literally makes shooting a J Frame fun again.

Saddlering,

Yes, there will be a .40 load. I have already developed a +P polymer coated heavy hardcast semi wadcutter load for outdoors/predator defense, but I am still doing some testing. I go through a significant amount of testing before products are released, for various reasons.

The .357 SWC is a hardcast bullet.
It is a wide nose profile that was developed by Elmer Keith himself and is a very effective design. That is actually what I had my kiddo carrying for defense in the mountains, should she need it. I wanted something that would be effective against bears, lions, etc, as well as be able to put a horse down immediately, should she get tangled up. In fact I went over my method of dropping animals instantly, since I have had to put down a substantial amount of animals over the years, from injured livestock, to vehicle struck, elk, moose, deer, etc.

The above mentioned 170 grain Keith is my personal favorite for the Model 19/66.



Viking:

"Does LostRiver have plans of manufacturing a “Colt” length heavy 357 mag? Shorter cases (38’s)?"



Another good one that is a slightly lighter grain weight, though a real stomper (Heads up all you COLT REVOLVER SHOOTERS) is the 158 grain +P polymer coated Semi Wadcutter. This essentially reproduces the old 38-44 ballistics, and in conducting multiple tests I achieved higher velocities with the heavy .38 load than I did with factory .357 magnum 158 grain American Eagle, when shooting side by side. The American Eagle .357 Magnum was 10-12 FPS slower as I recall on average.

This is achieved thanks to modern low pressure powders and polymer coated projectiles.

It is my favorite load for my Model 15.




For a Colt .357 Magnum it would be a great choice.

I do plan on producing a run of 158 grain .357s that are to SAAMI length for Colt shooters some time in the future, but I need to get caught up with things currently.

Reference 10mm.

It is extremely popular, and as soon as I receive more brass, I will put more in production and let guys know. It usually is a fast seller though. I am at the mercy of the brass manufacturers and I have no idea when I will get more in. I would anticipate that it may be a couple more months.

Cheyenne

In the future I may add 380 to the lineup.

I currently do not own a .380, so I will have to purchase a couple when I get money ahead. Then I will do the T&E and load development. I agree that there is a market for the 380.

This is all very much a small time thing right now so I have to make small steps. After I survive Christmas things will start to progress.

Thanks all!

Thanks, Mackay, just placed an order. .357 ammo is hard to find locally and knowing the business goes to a good guy makes it an even easier decision.

Bump for this small American business. Small businesses are the backbone of America.

Mack. when you produce that .41 mag ammo, if you keep it to 1.60" COAL to fit in FA 97 revolvers, I'll be glad to buy some!

Good Luck!
