I thought the Raging Bull line would've been the toughest. My buddy and I both had the same RB in .480. One day he can't cock the hammer. We opened it up to find the trigger pin (the part it pivits on) was broke. This pin is part of the frame (molded as part of the frame). I loved that gun, but...

Just thought I'd share my experiance. I've had to contact Hi-point for service twice in the past 8 years. The first time was my own fault as I had lost a screw for the front sight. What did they do?....They sent me a whole new front sight assembly, no questions asked as well as some Osama Bin...

+1 for storm lake. I picked up the .357 sig barrel for my M&P 40c. It just dropped right in and works great.

I do love a weapon light but haven't got one for this yet. I'm hoping that more lights come on to the market for the compacts. These situations just make you laugh afterwards though, don't they. On a more serious note could you imagine the adrenaline of someone kicking in your door or an...

Well, its really late and this story is a bit embarassing. I'm out in the middle of nowhere right now watching my buddies farm when the dog starts goin nuts. A little background: He's been having some coyotes messing with the animals alot and I know from hunting this area that there are...

I have tried the Hogue grip and its just a bit loose. I fire and own pistols from .22 up to .480 ruger. My current carry gun is a S&W M&P 40 compact which I have no problem shooting. I'm doing better with the Kahr after changing how I pull the trigger. I used to use the pad but after trying...

This thread is great. I haven't had much experience with their pistols, but I do own the 995. This was the first rifle I had ever purchased. You here alot of people bashing the company (and many sticking up for it). When they bash it, it's the usual "for more money...", "for self defense..."...

I picked up a Kahr CW40 a few months back and I'm not too sure how I feel about it. It's taking me a while to get used to the trigger. The gun felt so good when I picked it up I thought I'd make a great carry piece. I just can't seem to shoot it well. I also don't know how I feel about the...

I agree with you 100% on the 3 shot group. The thing that made me happy was this group was done with really hot and dirty barrel. I was testing out three different loads when I shot this group. I had three groups like this with the loads. The rest were still all under an inch with the exception...

The squares were an inch. The distance was 100 yards with some some .308 I loaded. These were my first attempts at loading 308, so I'm pretty pleased with the results.

Not that I ever doubted Savage's accuracy, I just didn't know much about them. My friends kept pushing me to pick up a Remington (I do like them), but I came accross this deal on the Savage and I'm very pleased with it. I am sold on the accu-trigger. It has to be my favorite factory trigger...

Maybe it's a dumb question (I'm a little new to reloading), but does that tool work for brass that does not have the Mil crimp?

I was just attempting to reload some .308 but the primers wouldn't go in. For brass, I have Black Hills Match. The pocket seems to be too small. I am not having this problem with the Winchester brass. The primers are Federal 210. I measured the pockets and the black hills was about .004 smaller...

The crimp problem puzzled me also. With the die out, I can insert the case all the way in. The die is bottoming out on the shell plate before I can even crimp. The crimp ring just seems so high in this die. After doing alot of research, I'm not the only one with this problem. According to...

I have some cases that were trimmed short (2.032). The once fired Hornady cases only measure 2.040, which is under the trim to length. I loaded the 2.032 case with 50 gr. Hodgdon H322, 300 gr, Hornady bullets. This load would be fired through a Magnum Research BFR 45-70 w/ 10" barrel. According...
