Y’all make me feel better about losing stuff. Looks like I’m in good company ☺️

I had the same problem with my.270WSM. I sent 4 fired brass, dies and shell holder back to RCBS. They sent them back to me, said there was no problem. I set the dies up AGAIN, reloads still hard to chamber. Bought a set of Hornady LNL headspace gauges. I was not getting my shoulders set back...

One of my brothers, whom is very ill, recently gave me his Rem 788. I am going to kinda spruce the gun up a little myself. He bought it in1974 and it is still in good shape. He was never an avid hunter but did kill several deer with the gun. He gave me a slip of paper with the date and location...

I had a similar experience as AlfieB and solved it with a little different fix. Instead of machining the actual die I ground .005 off my shellholder. Problem solved.

Anyone have any experience with Hornady SST 129gr in the .260 Rem?

Winchester Ammo I recently had a prob with Win. ammo in .45 Colt. The lead in the remaining bullets in the cylinder of my revolver would slide forward .050-.120 after firing the gun. I contacted Sheryl in customer service and they sent me a paid UPS sticker to return the unfired ammo and $30...

Thanks guys. The gun does look a lot like the picture on gunbroker but it doesn't have the octagonal barrel. He has had the gun for over 20 yrs and never fired it, so I doubt that he ever will. It is good to have another opinion on it though. It is a neat little conversation piece. Thanks again.

Can anyone share any info on a revolver my brother has? The only markings on the gun are- Blue Jacket 1 1/2 Pat 3-28-1871. No serial # or anything else. It is a 22 short. It appears in good shape and he has owned it for many years and never fired it. It certainly has not had any #'s removed or...

Does anyone have any info/experience with EAA Corp auto pistols they would like to share?

private sales When considering a private sale is there any way a private citizen can check serial #'s to insure the gun in question is legit?

Thanks for the input guys. Never owned or shot a Taurus. Glad to see the good reviews. Was given the original paperwork after work tonight, it is a 450. Looking forward to shooting it next week.

I just bought a used Taurus Titanium in 45 Colt today and I don't know what model it is. There is no model # on the gun. I have looked at pictures of Taurus revolvers on Gun Broker and it looks like a model 85 except for the grips. It also looks like a model 450, even the grips. The one...

I have had only good experiences with RCBS. I have even replaced almost everything that I own that is not RCBS just because I like dealing with a company that is willing to take such good care of their customers.

I don't think anyone could have done a better job given all the variables and the stress of the situation. We have to deal with a constant tresspassing problem on our deer club here in Ga. It is unsettling being in the woods not knowing who might be there and that they are certainly armed.

I have an unusual problem with a Win model 70 in 270WSM Ultimate Shadow in stainless and I would like to see if anyone else with this rifle has a similar problem. The fired brass from my gun has a ring around the case about .300 from the base that is about raised about .003. My brother-in law...
