Clay shooting is something that is practiced in Belgium, but due to alleged noise and lead pollution, there are very few places one can still shoot clays outside. It does still happen on temporary ranges, which can only operate during one weekend or maybe two, per year For most of those kinds...

Due to environmental regulations, shooting is 99% sure to be done indoors. Clays can be an option, as it is possible to shoot flying clays indoor, albeit on a reduced scale (specially equipped indoor range) Clay shooting with double-barreled shotguns or semi-auto's is still possible outside on...

Hey all, As some of you maybe know, I'm from Belgium where gun laws are a little ... different than most US states. Lately it has been the idea of the govt to ban types of guns for private owners when there are no matches organized for them. We've fixed this by now organizing matches for...

Hello all, I've seen many SHTF threads pass through this board, mostly dealing with which rifle is perfect, or which combo, what caliber, etc. Since I think the greatest factor for human success and survival since prehistoric times is teamwork, cooperation and division of labor, I wonder...

I've been doing some more digging and calling around, and I've come to the conclusion that all burn charts are seriously wrong. I've gotten my hands on a PCL reloading table (basic but valid and official information from the manufacturer) thanks to a friendly national distributor. Loads for 507...

I found this different Powder burn chart on page 2 of the vihta reloading manual ( http://www.lapua.com/fileadmin/user_upload/esitteet/VihtavuoriInternationalReloguide2009.pdf ), which lists 507 quite a bit faster than H4895 and IMR 4895. IMR & Hodgon seem to be about equal in that aspect, as...

Hello everyone. I'm looking for some loading advice for my 308 Winchester. The rifle is a Remington 700 VSF, 26" heavy barrel, 1-12" twist. I currently use 167gn Lapua scenars, remington cases, Fed LR primer with Vihta N150. This load works pretty well out to 600 meters, which is the...

indeed, pull the cocking piece further back, and rotate. Very hard to do and quite slippery. I don't see how it would work effectively in combat, but then again, I don't think it was ever the intention to use it:)

Olin is american. But Olin owns the Winchester brand only, and produces ammunition under that brand. It also licenses the Winchester name to Browning (= FNH) to put on a line of firearms and other products

I really like my Sabre Defence... :)

I actually like this camo! Can you explain the technique in more detail? :)

S&W is listed on NASDAQ as SWHC. Ruger as RGR on the NYSE. What percentage of shareholders constitute foreign ownership? Does one foreign owner poison the well or is an American majority alright? Remington, Bushmaster, DPMS, AAC and Marlin are owned by Cerberus Capital Management. Is all the...

I took the Bud example, because it's owned by a Belgian-Brazilian company :) And yes, we have some amazing beers! (If anyone of you is ever in Belgium, I know some great non-touristy places!) I just think it's wrong to buy a firearm based on where it is made rather than the quality of it. If...

Get over it, we live in a globalized world. You don't want your money to end up in foreign hands, but why should we, foreigners, then want our money to end up in American hands? Should we then also stop buying American products? Do you think this will be beneficial to the US economy in the long...
