i need some help deciding which on to get... they will both cost me about the same....

no, actually they sell steel shot. it's a lead free alternative. out here in california (i know, i know) the area where the california condor is at is a federally protected area. you can hunt but you must use lead free bullets. barnes sells them for reloading all kinds of ammo. but along the...

just out of curiosity... has anyone tried reloading shotshells with BBs instead of leadshot??? i was just thumbing around on the inter-web, looking at reloading supplies. then it hit me.... lead free BBs..... more than likely i will not try this. just a thought though any thoughts on...

i find that i have to use lube on the 30 carbine brass. even though it's pretty much just like a handgun round and i'm using carbide dies. pulling them back out of the die is difficult sometimes and i've pulled the brass right out of the holder a few times. i started using lube on those rounds...

delete please... i'm an unobservant moron sometimes

i just picked up my mossberg 500 today. i payed 279 +tax and dros (315 out the door) and it came with 2 barrels.

ok, i'm convinced. 22lr it is. as for the pellet gun. no. i can identify with Woof. my first shooter was a pellet gun. and i used to take that thing out to the creek and shoot EVERYTHING in sight! from bumble-bees to birds. kids are smart... and i think that if i get him a 22 as opposed to a...

well, maybe i should state that i believe that teaching your kids the proper and safe way to handle firearms beats just keeping them loked up. ignorance is the main cause of children shooting each other. i teach my children how to safely handle firearms. when i get a new firearm the first thing...

hello again all, i'm looking to get a 17 hmr so that my son can get into shooting with me. he is 8 yrs old and all of my current rifles would knock him on his a$$. with the exception of MAYBE my m1 carbine. looking to start him off at 25 yds then work his way up to 50 then 100. i want him...

i love my kel-tec su-16. good accurate rifle. folds and fits in a backpack. i will recommend the bravo or charlie modle though. the little plastic sight on the alpha kinda sucks. i'm getting ready to send mine back to get steel front sights installed. P.S. did i mention that they make a...

i've been debating the same thing. i was looking at the rem 700 VL SS w/thumbhole stock. but i've heard alot of good things about the tikka t3. i'm still deciding though. i might wait on purchasing a bolt action 223 and get a 17 hmr so that my son can use it as a starter gun as well. trying to...

ok guys, i've kinda narrowed it down to rifle choices. it's between the rem 700 VLSS thumbhole stock and a tika T3. now it's just down to a caliber. i already own a kel-tek which is in .223. now i have to ask myself, do i want to keep reloading more .223? seeing as how when i reload...

hello all, well first let me introduce myself. my name is jerryand i'm a shoot-a-holic. ok that being said lets get down to buisness... i am a avid shooter and enjoy competition shooting. i've done ipsc/ idpa and i'm ready to move on to more accuracy as opposed to speed/accuracy. my...

thanks 18. i'm thinking i'm going to have to start at that measurement and work my way down till i find something that groups well. just FYI the ruger M77 that i have is the first model. the serial dates to 1977. it has a 3 round capacity magwell. i guess that i'm gonna have a headache trying to...

ok, after trying the slit case idea i'm still comming out too long. i tried the hornaday a-max spirepoints and came out at 3.440. that COL won't allow me to have any rounds in the mag... i also tried the nosler CT 140gr. that gave me a COL of 3.410. also too large for me to have anything...
