    In general, what's the longevity of pistol brass?

    Until you lose it or the neck splits. I have pistol brass I bought used 30 years ago that I am still using. Some of my .45 brass has headstamps from the 40s and 50s.

    Advice from a professional. -Lube your pistol cases.

    Been lubing pistol cases with One Shot for a long time, even with carbide dies. Less wear and tear on the elbow and shoulder if nothing else.

    Original 686 or original King Cobra

    I have only had one problem out of my original King Cobras. At about 35k rounds, the barrel started unscrewing. My gunsmith checked the cylinder gap and declared the barrel did not need to be set back due to forcing cone erosion. He put red Loctite on the barrel and screwed it back on. That...

    Neat little .22 LR bolt gun; Winchester Model 52.

    Those reproduction 52 sporters are nice. I saw two for sale at a recent gun show. One was NIB. I was tempted to make an offer on it.

    1911 Shootout $4,000 vs. $2,000 vs. $300

    No doubt a better comparison would be from 25 yards and a rest.

    Acceptable accuracy for a .357 carbine at 50 yds?

    I have a 16" Rossi 92 in .357. With the factory buckhorns, I could barely hit a paper plate at 50 yards from a sandbag rest. I changed the sights to something I thought was better. This is a group after the swap. I am happy with it.

    Ordered a progressive press finally.

    I have enjoyed my LnL. After about 100k rounds the nub that sticks up on the sub-plate to eject the loaded round was worn down and causing the press to lockup. I called Hornady and described the problem. They sent a new sub-plate for free and only asked that I return the old one so they...

    A magnetic pick up tool takes care of that.

    New to skeet shooting. Am I looking at an ok purchase or is there better?

    I wouldn't want a 28 gauge due to the lesser availability and higher price of ammo compared to a 12 or 20 gauge. I would rather have a well-used Browning Citori than a brand new Turkish O/U by any manufacturer.

    Citori questions

    Do a search on 725 triggers. There is much debate on them actually being mechanical and not "mechanical like". I know they had their growing pains. I shot trap with a guy that bought an expensive 725 Pro. He had lots of second shot problems.

    Citori questions

    The older Citori's give very little trouble. About the most common thing is the lower firing pin tends to chip and eventually cause miss fires. This is usually seen in high volume guns on clay courses. It's bo big deal. The firing pins are cheap and easily replaced.
