I recently acquired an M&P 40- mostly because I like the way it fits my hand. I've had good success with a 180 grain bullet load in my other 40s, but in this gun they are not as accurate as I'd like. Has anyone had good luck with lighter bullets in an M&P 40? Thanks, Doug

I find myself short on small rifle primers (and everyone's sold out), but have a good supply of small pistol primers. Can small pistol (standard or magnum) safely be substituted for small rifle primers in .223? Thanks, Doug

I just acquired a Remington 141 in 32 Remington. Somewhere I heard 32 Winchester dies could be used for sizing 32 Remington brass. Is this correct? Also, if any of you have any 32 Remington brass or dies you'd like to part with, please let me know. Thanks, Doug

When a Cabela's last weekend, my wife fell in love with a Cabela's Kentucky percussion muzzleloader by Pedersolli. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0012642214584a&type=product&cmCat=cchart_trd_blk_pwdr_rfl I found a friend that owns one; she'll shoot it...

Quick question- How do I remove the front bead from the barrel of my (early '90s vintage) 870 Express? (I'd like to replace it with a fiber optic unit.) Thanks, Doug

I have a 20 year old Browning Buckmark. I've shot it a LOT. I've recently had FTF problems, and decided it must be the age/usage of the original magizine that I still use. I purchased a new Browning mag, which is significantly differnt from the original. It fits and functions fine, but will...

How did primer manufacturers determine the names (numbers) of primers? Why the Remington #7 1/2 instead of a plain ol' #7 ? How did CCI choose the #450 for their product in the same niche? Any ideas? (maybe I've had too much time on my hands...)

I'm looking for an accurate side hammer or underhammer muzzleloader to shoot patched round balls. I have a Great Plains with the slow twist barrel, but 3" at 50 yds is all the better it'll do for me or my buckskin-clad buddies. Alternatively, is there a drop-in aftermarket barrel that's...

Who makes the best Weaver-type scope base for a Super Redhawk? (I'm going to mount a red-dot.) Thanks Doug

Hi all. Need some advice. I bought 500 JHP bullets to load in my 45 Colt. My seater stem is made for round nose bullets, but these have a basically flat, almost truncated cone-shaped nose. They tend to yaw when seating becuse of a poor fit. I bought theses plinking bullets because they...

I've been living with a fantasy for several years- please tell me if I should wake up & smell the coffee, or actually give it a try... I'd like to build an easy-to-carry 12 ga. strictly for turkeys. I've always used my all-purpose 870 with a scope but want something lighter & shorter. I'm...

While shooting my SRH 454 this morning, I had a dud round. The bullet lodged in the forcing cone and I had to tap it out. I was using CCI #400 small rifle primers under Accurate #9 powder. The powder was unburned, but the granules seemed to be slightly fused together. The case had been decapped...

I'm planning to purchase a .22 youth model bolt action rifle for a Christmas gift. I'm leaning toward a Henry Mini Bolt or a Chipmunk. Any recomendations? Thanks, Doug

Hi All- I have a pound of Herco I'd like to use up. Anyone load mid-range loads in a 454 with this stuff? Thanks, Doug

I had problems with my Vaquero in 45 colt (problems as in 6" groups at 15 yds) until I had the chamber throats reamed (1.5" groups). I learned throat problems are fairly common in Ruger 45s. Now I bought a Super Redhawk in 45 colt/ 454 Casull. Are throat problems common in them as well...

Which would you buy and why? Thanks, Doug

I purchased a CVA Youth Hunter for my kids recently- it's a cute little rifle, 1:48" twist, 50 cal, side hammer with wooden stock. The problem was the weight of the trigger pull. It was difficult for me to make the hammer drop, and my 7 year old had to use 2 fingers. Needless to say, it's pretty...
