    Can bulged 9mm cases be a sign of pressure?

    I just purchased a Springfield Range Officer in 9mm which has a very tight chamber. I have not had a problem in the past with 9mm reloads but started to experience problems with 1-2 reloads per hundred. I have not case gauged in the past but purchased a Wilson and started to notice a uniform...

    Need advice about deer feed/attractant

    I would scout the area and see when they are moving through. It could be pre dawn or just around sunset. You have to know their pattern for that area. Also could be only does or a mix. Scout.

    Bushmaster AR15 flat top, $450 bucks...

    By the time you put the parts together you can build a great gun. Some just want the bare essentials, for a good price. Hard to build a gun from scratch for under 500. Some shooters just want a plinker, and there is nothing wrong with that.

    1911 slide release question?

    I am not sure why you are using the release on an empty magazine. As you stated if you drop the mag pressure is off and you are slingshoting it.

    Why are pump action rifles not popular any more?

    I never knew that pump rifles were popular. Pump shotguns, yes. Probably most people never owned one in a caliber greater than 22 rim fire.

    Browning Hi-Power enthusiasts opinion of the .40 model?

    I view it as the same situation as with 1911's, they can be made in other calibers but why?

    Dove hunting Arizona

    I just might go out on the last day. I like hunting early, pre dawn. Nothing like the smell of powder in the morning.

    Well, who knew: "...gun accidentally shatters toilet."

    I am watching one of my guns right now to see if it has a mind of its own. .. Instructor did something to discharge. I have seen six shooters improperly tuned where a slight movement set them off but blame that on bubbamanship. I also have seen people drop in sears on 1911 without safety...

    My Glock 17 Project

    I like Dawson Precision for sights. Plus they give you a tool for the front sight for free.
