Or you can wait for a free shipping sale from Cabela's. I recently picked up 40 cases of Federal Game/target for $55/case shipped.. Sometimes I've seen shotshell cases go for as little as $45/case shipped..

We took a revolver class from Jerry at my club about 6 or 7 years ago.. Jerry was showing us how to keep the gun shooting.. I heard later that someone on one of the other ranges asked who was shooting an auto pistol on the shooting bay we were on, and was astounded to find out that it was Jerry...

One reason I like shooting a moon clipped Revo.. all of my matches I get my brass back.. :) When you pay up to $8 per moon clip (Hearthco's) you are darn tootin' going to get em back!! If you run speed loaders.. then in the bigger matches, those become lost brass... but you get your speedloaders...

It may also be a warning for Alliant Blue Dot.. not neccesarily for Hercules Blue Dot (of which I still have a few pounds). The formulation has changed a bit over the years. Earlier Blue dot (pre mid 90's) was a bit different and new loading data came out after, I believe, a plant explosion...

Steel challenge has a 22 division.. and no holster requirements.. 22's start at low ready.

You also want to be careful crimping these bullets. I found that if you put any kind of crimp on them, they tend to separate and/or tumble badly. I used the 180 RN-FP inmy Para P16 fora few years and found that they were inaccurate with any kind of crimp on them. They were keyholing badly at...

I have a 7.5" S&W 657.. I always wanted one but now that I have it, well, I really have no real use for it other than having a larger than 357 Magnum handgun. I like it, it is a bit heavier than my 6.5" competition 610..

I tend to use them as an addition for a good red meat sauce. I used goose and beef the last time I made sauce. I cubed the goose breasts and used stew beef. I browned all the meat, let the onions, celery, and garlic sweat till translucent, added chopped romas, canned tomato sauce, a small can of...

I've fired as many as 3000 rounds through one of my competition revolvers without any leading in the bore or cleaning it between uses. It always goes bang and the only reason I cleaned it was before a big match (International revolver championship). The Stainless cylinder was so covered in gunk...

I have a question. In some cases, I've fed a shell into the magtube and did not hear the positive "click" of the shell retainer only to now have the shell on the follower. When I go to cycle the action, the gun is completely jammed and could feel like the OP describes above. I had to either take...

Um, I've had my Rockchucker for.. 23 years now.. wow has it been that long? I FINALLY broke the primer arm...about 4 months ago. I called RCBS and they sent me a new one. I've had my Dillon 650 for a bit over 12 years. I've replaced most of the wearable parts on it and keep thinking I might...

If I were doing it, I'd simply run the 308 win brass through the 7mm-08 sizing die and then check to make sure the mouth of the case was the size I was looking for to seat the bullet. Sometimes when you size down like that, you need ream the case mouth to be able to fit the bullet without...

Actually, the law doesn't take effect until Feb 1st, 2011.. not July 2010..

Um.. someone mentioned that Arnie did this to be re-elected.. actually, he is termed out at the next election. Some people are worried about Jerry Brown, but in light of what's going on with AS, I'd likely back JB since the other Repub candidates (campbell and that lady from ebay) are...

um, are we talking shotgun slugs in brass shotshells or something else?
