Oh yes, forgot about 1911 vs 1931 dies. The more expensive brands like Redding say they're 31 specific, but that doesn't meant that the cheaper brands are If already sporterized, I guess mods don't matter as much, but if you still want to scope it without damaging anything, the Swiss Products...

What brand die, and what brand ammo? I've only reloaded a few 7.5x55 rounds, with a FL. But it's a kind of picky caliber to reload - had to go with a dummy round to pass through a few times as a prototype.

Would 147 be better out of 3", 124 for longer barrels? Bonefrog was the best prices when I looked at pretty easy to deal with. And better if you're not paying sales tax like me.

I wanted one bad but had no luck finding one locally. Then they had that other unicorn gun, a RAMI BD in, so I sated my urges on it. I might do a PCR someday, but if I get another CZ soon it will be a long gun or a full size pistol probably. Anyone have a Shadow 2 for 50% off? No?

Even if you can't afford it right now, everybody buys stuff from Amazon. Instead of using amazon.com, use smile.amazon.com to buy stuff. Doesn't cost you any extra, but you can designate a charity to give a portion to, and you can change any time. I do SAF right now. There are also browser...

My memory might be faulty, but I remember "knowing" that crow was year round. In the last year or two, I checked, and there's a season here. Maybe it happened in the last 3 years, or I'm wrong. As far as eating it, I've never tried it but... I've always been told that jackrabbit is "bad." Tried...

The way I understand it: Sooty and dusky grouse are two different species, but they look so similar that they were long thought to be one species, called "blue grouse." Recent genetic testing has shown them to be different. The general rule is that sooty appear closer to the west coast, while...

Illegal to shoot in "any grass, brush, forest or crop-covered land." NRS 476.070 Illegal to hunt with tracers. NRS 503.150 As for sale, they don't seem to be controlled. Individual cities or counties may have their own laws. As others say: it's summer, and fires start easy. Please don't start...

.300 Weatherby? Whatever you pay for the gun, figure you have to pay the price of a second one to buy a box or two of ammo... seriously though, a box of 20 rounds hunting ammo is like $70 or something. For a new one, the lowest MSRP price is $1700, so $550 is a steal if not rough. You're doing...

Don't know about this product but my Caldwell bipod lost a screw and contacting customer service they basically said "I dunno where to get a replacement" so I'm not enthused. I'll check Home Depot tomorrow but it's kind of a weird set screw so I'll also send them pics if that doesn't work.

It's a BIG state. The hunter haters are in a small part by area. In my experience, hipster type places might have clients who don't like hunting but are fine with mounts on the walls. Maybe they think they're "fake" heads. We both grew up in CA, but I have convinced her I think to never move...

That list has a different definition of "worst" than I do. Here out west, the concept of hunting more than 1 per year is alien, as is the concept of having to get permission to use land. I applied for 1 tag this year and didn't get it, so it's upland season by default. I'm not too bothered as...

One bad is that sadly SIG has decided to support it less compared to the P320, and I don't see that improving in the future. I like the ergonomics and the ease of takedown/cleaning. Not a big fan of DAO but it's not this gun's fault. Also, another problem (shared with 320) is that the...

No, your description sounds like exactly what NV does. 8 hours for initial/4 for renewal, covering safety, terminology, simple scenarios, written test only the first time, short live shooting, done. Then go to sheriff, do fingerprints and paperwork. Can qualify with other states at the same...

It would be nice if Oregon returned the favor. Looks like a bill to allow this cleared the OR House handily in 2005 but failed in Senate.
