Just finished NRA's Basics of Pistol Shooting online course. It was just released this week. Takes about 6 hours to finish (not all at one time) then you get a certificate once you pass the tests to take to an range instructor for the field portion. Pretty reasonable cost ($60) and...

Thought I would pass this along to the guys who use Hevi-Shot. I just got this notice yesterday. IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM HEVI-SHOT CEO, RALPH NAUMAN At temperatures below freezing, our 12-gauge, 3-inch HEVI-Metal® and HEVI-Steel® shotshell wads may crack on ignition. This may cause a...

Suggest you go to the German Gun Collectors Association website. Should find loads of information there. I think they are in New Hampshire. Tom

I've shot a lot of trap guns from 870 TCs to Kreighoffs and Perazzi (the guns all shoot better than I do). It's always a pleasure to pick up a high grade O/U trap gun that has the finish of a Ferrari. But there has always been a need for an inexpensive trap gun for someone who just wants to...

Thought some of you trap shooters might be interested in this review of the Browning BPS trap gun. What I found interesting the was patterning results using Winchester AA, Estate, and hand loads...

Need some help here. I've got a Hammerli 280 (S&W 32 long) and want to mount a Red Dot on it. Larry's Guns and Roco each have the scope rail that is needed but neither have the correct length screws and for some reason have them back ordered from a company in Europe. I know, why sell a scope...

I'm looking for a scope mount/rail for a Hammerli 280 and having no luck. A supplier called RoCo has the rail but cannot get the longer special thread screws (not much help there). I've tried Larry's Guns but cannot get anyone to return a call. Would appreciate any advice on where to go next...

Gentlemen, I'm new to this forum (usually in shotgun and rifle) but would like to get your opinions. The NRA Education Division is going to update their training manuals (last done in 1985) on Muzzle Loading shooting. The current three manuals (rifle, shotgun, pistol) are being re-written...

Thought I would share this NRA video that I found on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQiWeBNEg6c Tom

Thought those of you with youngsters out there who are shooters or interested in getting started shooting might want to point them to this new website we just put together for the NRA. www.nrainsights.org . It just went online last week and they are already getting thousands of hits...

If you have a Dick's Sporting Goods close by they have a decent, not great, sale on Remington Gun Club Ammo, $4.98 if you send in the receipt to Remington for the rebate. But for you 16 ga shooters I found a couple of flats of 7 1/2, 1 oz, game loads for$5.68 a box in the same pile. That makes...

I'm new to this forum and just getting into metallic cartridge reloading. I would appreciate any advice related to a load I need to put together for a 45-70. The bullet I plan to use is a Barnes 400 GR FNSP Cannelured to be used in a Winchester 1886. Thanks. Tom Held

I need some help from some of you ballistics experts out there. I'm sighting in a Weatherby 300 for a Red Stag Hunt in Argentina in a few weeks. Starting with factory ammo. With the following load this is what I'm getting (note: 24" barrel, Redfield 3x9 widefield scope, lead sled rest, no...

I was in Dick's Sporting Goods today in Rockville, Maryland. In the stack of 20 and 12 ga Remington Game Loads on sale were some cases of 16 ga, 1200fps, 7 1/2, for the same price. $3.98 per box by the 10 box case. Normal price is $6.15 if you can find them. Sales guy thought it was some...

Dave, I was at PG last week and finally broke 20 on wobble trap with the 410. Got really frustrating the last couple of months with 18s and 19s. I switched to the Winchester AA Super Sporting Clays, 2 1/2 inch 8's. The 1300 fps really helped, a lot more punch. Managed to bust 23 of the...

I'm new to this forum (mostly a shotgun and rifle shooter) but could use some information from the pistol experts here. I just purchased a Smith and Wesson Model 53, 22 Remington Jet with the 8 1/2 barrel. I would rate the gun as 99% condition. About 100 rounds of Remington ammo came with the...

I had an opportunity to go to the Antique Arms Show in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. This may be the best firearms show in the country to attend. If you've never been to it I have to recommend it highly. I have to warn you though, there's lots of drooling going on. Way to much to...

Just wishing everyone on this forum a safe New Year's Eve and prosperous new year ahead. I think I'm going to try and bust up some claybirds this weekend. Tom Held
