Well this may sound strange but Ive had failures to extract and/or eject with my 870 almost since I got it. (about 5 yrs ago) I've cleaned it to polished perfection and kept it like that, but the stupid thing still has problems. I've taken it apart, studied everything minutely for any signs of...

Im thinking about trading in my Remington 870 for different shotgun. Anyone have any (oh boy) opinions about what I should get? I'd like a gun thats more compact and maneuverable than my full size 870. Semi auto would be great, but I'd like to keep it under 500$. I am leaning toward...

Mine doesn't have set screws, just the big knob that screws into the bolt stop cover. Too bad the 185 minis don't have integral scope mounts...:( My most consistently accurate load is with 52gr A-max bullets on top of 21.0 grains of IMR 4198: group averages were just under 1 inch at 50yds.

I don't see .223 Rem mentioned much, but lots of "Hog guns" are chambered for that cartridge. How would an AR-15 work, or a Mini-14?

I don't think there is a set screw..is that standard with the mount you described?(which is the one I have,yes)

Thanks for the advice. I had obtained a Hodgdon loading booklet and loaded some 55gr SP bullets with 27.5 grains of CFE223, which is on the high side. Not owning a chronograph, Im not sure as to velocity, but I estimated it at around 3200 fps. 3 shot groups at 50 yards were averaging 1.57...

I've seen their data..but I wasn't sure if different brands would possibly mean different loads.

Not long ago I bought a 185 series mini14 that came with a rail mount & replacement bolt stop cover. Also had a scope on it. Trouble is, I cannot screw the rail in place firm enough to prevent serious scope movement. Consequent groupings of 3- 4 inches at fifty yards result(and I can easily...

I havent seen many discussions on reloading but I hope someone out there can help me! I reload lots of .223 ammo and I can't find any info on loading Hornady 53gr A-MAX, 55gr V-MAX, or 55gr. SP with Hodgdon's new CFE223 powder.

I recently bought a 185 series mini 14 and these guns will be perfect for your needs. Fun, cheap, and fairly accurate(it was not designed to be a tack driver), I have had zero problems with it after shooting several hundred rounds. As far as accuracy, I was able with the peep sight to...

Here in MO any center fire handgun is allowed. My idea is more to carry the pistol as a backup. That way if I do get a good clear close shot with it, I could take it. I'm not sure I'd necessarily use it as a primary gun.

Thanks for the quick response everyone! I'll have to look into it some more. What bullets would you recommend for reloading .40 ammo?

I live in MO. I think they're going to allow handgun hunting durin the muzzleloader season this year, but I couldn't find any info on it online yet. All that aside, I am wondering if the .40 would have enough power?(considering it would be legal.)

Id like to go deer hunting with a handgun this year. Would my Glock 22 in .40s&w be enough gun?

Nice looking guns, 1KPerDay! An M14 on the bottom?
