Awesome! Thanks for the replies everyone! Some great advice here - in some ways makes the decision easier, in some ways harder :) I am certainly no handyman and I envy those of you who can just put something together...my putting something together would resemble a pile of scrap in the landfill...
I bought my daughter a Marlin 60 and we tested every kind of ammo we could find, for hers we found CCI mini-mags to really stand out above the other ammo types. I was a non-believer in differences between ammo brands - until I tested it for myself. Both my 10/22 and her Marlin 60 have brands...
I have a birthday coming up and I would like to get a gun vise and a shooting rest/bags and wonder what vises and rests you have used that you really like that might help me in making a decision on what to beg...I mean ask for ;)
For the vise I will be doing mostly maintenance type stuff (no...
Also, you could try to "work up" a load by starting at the min. grains and working up in .5 grain increments to the max load listed and see if you have a "sweet spot" for your firearm. I shoot 3-5 at each increments and compare the results.
I have done this with my rifle loads and found vast...
Excellent! That is what I needed to know! I will load up some factory spec. min to max ammo then and not worry about OAL for now.
Thanks for the info all, your wealth of experience is sure appreciated!!!
I am going to start reloading for a new bolt action rifle - this is a hunting rifle for my son, I still consider myself fairly new to reloading and I was wondering the best process for developing an accurate round.
I made a dummy round with a slider bullet (Nosler Ballistic Tips - same he...
I just shot last weekend with several different types of 22lr ammo including stingers, mini mags, winchester, federal, etc... I used my Ruger 10/22 and my daughters Marlin model 60 and what I found really surprised me. I always thought it was a bunch of hype over what type of ammo - until I...
Well I made my decision - and I am very happy with it!
I am very happy with my choice - and I want to thank everyone here for helping with the wealth of info you passed on to me!
Side note - while I was waiting in the gun shop for 2 hours for my pistol to arrive he had a Sig P226 on display...
Well I did my shoot with my friends and I think I am pretty well set on a Beretta in 9mm. Even though I like the snappy .40 I just thought price, plus wear and tear on the gun, follow up shots etc...to go with the 9mm. I shot the .40 fine - good groups even with quick follow up shots, but I...
I haven't tried a CZ yet, I will have to look into those - I know a lot of people here have recommended them!
I'm about 2 hours N. of GR - but may be well worth the drive to try some out! Thanks!
Lots of good advice! I'm soaking it in like a sponge ;)
Just to help clarify a few things - I am not a handgun owner, but I am not a new shooter (although compared to some of you I'm prob a newbie by sheer volume of shooting lol). Perhaps I need to clarify that a bit - it seems a lot of the...
Well I went to the store today and spent some time looking at and handling everything they had. I really liked the feel of the Smith and Wesson M&P but I really didn't like the pivot trigger - but what I was surprised to see is that walking in my mind was almost set on a Sig P226, but what I...
Thanks for all the replies - there is a wealth of info here!!! Based on what I am hearing - sounds like I have several good options for long lasting quality handguns. That is very reassuring to hear.
Even though I am not "set" on a .40 - I lean toward the more snappy caliber just because I...
I wasn't going to post this because I know there are a lot of "what gun should I buy" threads - and I have read many many many of them - but this site was unbelievably helpful to me in setting up my new hobby of reloading and I am in such a quandary - I need to ask some people who have...
