The 6.5 Grendel and 260 Remington seem like they would make a perfect pair in an AR and a Bolt Action. They would both have good long range capability and incredible ballistic coefficients for their size, all with low recoil. The Hornady 123gr A-max could be loaded to 2500fps in a Grendel...

I was listening to a science podcast and heard a discussion about the state of the world copper supply. I had imagined that we were at, or near, or even past, peak copper production. You often hear about criminals stealing copper tubing and flashing in the housing industry, and the prices of...

I keep looking at the ballistics of, and reading articles about, the .260 Remington cartridge and thinking I might get one at some point. I just looked through two ammunition catalogs I received in the mail, and while I found several loads for the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x284, and 6.5 Swiss, I only...

I can't seem to find a load that works well in my GLOCK 21 using Hodgdon Universal powder. I've worked up good loads with it in 9mm, .40, and .38spl. I have found loads I really like in .45 with regular Clays powder, but the velocities are so low with that fast burning powder.... I tried the...

If you don't choose the correct backstrap to fit your hand size in the Gen4 GLOCKS, you could be causing yourself more recoil discomfort than is necessary. Note how the flat bone of my middle finger is perfectly in line with the flat portion of the bottom of the trigger guard on this...

From To This is progress? I'd hate to see how ugly they will be in another 56 years...

I don't know how many threads I have read lately that have at least a few comments that revolve around buying guns/ammo/accessories for end of the world scenarios. I don't remember this kind of paranoid, survivalist thinking when I was growing up, and it is not to be found in the magazines...

My local gun range added one of the XDm-5.25 competition guns to the rental gun case, and I thought I would try it out. Overall, the gun seemed very well made. The finish was uniform and did not feel gritty. The slide cycled very smoothly, the grip felt very comfortable, and there were no...

Just put 200 rounds through a Ruger SR9 someone loaned me. It was reliable, with absolutely no malfunctions. The slide cycled smoothly, although there are some sharp edges on the gun when you go to cycle it. I don't find the grip very comfortable. It is thin side-to-side and the hump insert on...

I read posts all the time discussing the fact that .40 S&W recoil is uncomfortable for some folks to shoot. Hornady is now making the perfect practice ammo for people who are new to the .40S&W, or need a lower-recoil round to practice with. Its also great for anyone who wants some quality range...

Man, I wish they would make a run of these with no locks. I'd be all over that. I bought one of the no-lock 1 7/8 inch 642's when they made a run a couple years ago.

I have a S&W model 686 (no-lock) I really like, but after shooting Glocks for years, I've noticed that the weight of the barrel underlug makes the gun unweildy for transitions between targets. My smaller model 65 is much easier to "steer" between targets, but has fixed sights. I wonder if...

Years ago I had a Ruger single action .357 which came with an extra cylinder chambered for 9mm. The cylinder had the chambers cut so that the rounds head spaced on the case mouth without the need of moon clips, just like in a semi auto barrel. I know moon clips make loading quicker, but it would...

I've been eyeballing a Ruger Mark II International in stainless steel with a full length stock for quite some time. For some reason I really love that gun. I only hesitate to buy because I know very little about the 7mm-08 cartridge its chambered in. I've already read up on the ballistics and...
