a firearm is a tool - nothing more I have been shooting revolvers since 1969 and 1911's since before that. I must admit, I have been reloading my own ammo since before Ms. Clinton was appointed to the White House the first time. In all that time, I have had more fail to feeds / fail to fires...

use 20-40 grit media Purchase 20/40 grit media to clean your brass and you will not have any primer holes plugged with media. Can find it on McMaster Carr or various other on-line suppliers

Competition and 125 gr Bullets Forgot to add in my previous response that Competition loaded at the lowest level with 125 gr plated bullets would do the trick for you; in my opinion, you should try whatever powder you have at the lowest level for the bullets you have available and experiment...

Try Competion Although it is not listed as one of the powders you have available, attempt to locate some Competition powder. My wife had the same problem shooting her S&W airweight. Once I loaded it with Comp at 3.2 grains she could target shoot with it (50 rounds) with no problem.

you did good kid. Your grandpa told to never get rid of a gun that shot where it was pointed....to never believe a word someone running for office told you and to never forget the way our ancestors handed down this country to us; they took it every step of the way with God, Guns and Guts!

I recently purchased a Browning Hi-Power Rifle made in late 60's (Sako Made). The rifle had Weaver Medium mounts already installed with what appears to be about 0.010" of shims beneath the front mount for the scope. I had a Nikon Monarch scope installed on the rifle and when trying to zero...

Don't know about the 168 gr; but, have shot quite a few of their 145gr FMJBT 30 cal through my 30-06. Before I loaded any;out of curiosity, I measured each one of them for OAL deviation and weighed each one for weight deviation, separating them into groups. Ended up with two groups. The...
