    Handgun for a household

    In a semi auto I would look no farther than the Ruget SR9 or SR9c, and maybe the XD9 compact. As others have said, a revolver in 38 Special is probably the best choice unless she is going to become proficient with the semi auto, which no matter what she chooses, proficiency is the most...

    Which gun to purchase next?

    I shot my wifes SR9 yesterday. I shoot it far better than I shoot my Kimber Eclipse Pro II. I would recommend the SR9 for a good, not too expensive 9mm.

    Identifying Federal Match Brass

    Maybe not. I have heard Federal 223 is not too good, unless it is GMM. Trying to sort this out before I prep a new batch.

    Identifying Federal Match Brass

    Can someone tell me if there is a way to identify Federal GMM brass vs standard Federal brass? I am specifically wanting to know about .308. I have a good many FC cases and notice that some have a gold primer and others have a silver primer that I suspect is a 210M.

    Under $300 pump gun?

    870 is the most popular pump shotgun ever made.

    Imperial sizing die wax

    Good point! I haven't thought about the chamber getting lubed and the problems that could cause. I usually wipe my cases off anyway but will make sure to do so now. I am mainly planning to use the ISW as an addition to a spray like you said on the button or a little on the neck or base of the...

    Ive got 870 fever

    I can't believe nobody has mentioned that more 870s (which includes Wingmasters) have been sold than any other shotgun, period. As for me, an 870 is the only pump shotgun I will ever own. Wingmaster is the full trim, shiny, smooth as silk 870. Be careful here as some may only shoot 2 3/4"...

    Imperial sizing die wax

    Does Imperial affect powder? In other words, do I need to clean my brass again after sizing?

    Knives - I Want it Truly Made in the USA

    How about a Moore Maker. Made in Texas so you know they have to be good! The styles are similar to Case, but the blades are not "stainless".

    .22 WMR or .17....?

    IMO the "fun factor" is much greater on the 17 HMR. About 275yds is all it is good for as the bullet goes subsonic and loses all accuracy.

    308 Powder Opinions

    With 150's in my A Bolt, Varget is great. I have used H4895 without much luck, but like others said, IMR 4895 is supposed to be the cat's meow.

    New IMR Powders

    I am using 8208 in my 6.5 Creedmoor and it is great. Tried it in my A-Bolt 308 as well and every load has been 1 1/4" or less, with the best being 1/4" in the 6.5 CM.

    What do you think is the major "sleeper" cartridge out there?

    I think I would say 280 Rem or 284 Win.

    Any opinions on Taurus and Rossi Revolvers ?

    My dad had a 22lr Rossi and it is accurate, cheap and a lot of fun to shoot.
