I had a confrontation lately. After nearly 10 years looking for a good job I found one that really suits me out of state. I've had to rent a room until my house in another state sells. Problem was after living as a renter for 3 weeks, I find out the homeowner who also lives in the house is a hot...

...a range Nazi? In my eyes, over the last 33 years and excluding military service, I've run into about 3. The last one 2 weeks ago but before that about 10 years ago. I belong to a very informal MS range that started doing informal trap shoots last year. The hours from 1030-1500 to...

I thought I'd pose a question to any well versed Californian about gun ownership. I have brother in San Jose who wants a gun to start shooting competition but is on a tight budget and knows next to nothing. I want to sell him a used but very good semi auto with 10 rounder mags of course but...

I don't understand why my brass comes out dirty with powder residue on the upper half of the shell using Vithavourhi N 320-one of the cleanest powders you can find??? I'm loading 4.9-5.5 gr of this with 200 gr 45 ACP RN Moly bullets out of a polygonal barrel. I also use Fed. LPP. When I'm...

I'm curious if anyone here has any success shortening LOP on their composite/synthetic shotgun stocks? That at least is my plan for my FN SLP shotgun and my Tikka T3 Lite stocks. The LOP on both of those are 13 & 13.5" respectively. I'd also like to add softer recoil pads but that's for...

I've learned a lot posting here on this caliber. I recently borrowed a friends 629 for a hiking trip in Montana and Wyoming. I cleaned the heck out of it after putting 120 rounds through it and holy cow, that thing was filthy. It had rust under the hammer spur, in the trigger guard housing...

Anyone hunt with this cartridge? What game can this be reasonably used for? Are loads available or do you have to reload? My son wants to take up hunting and I'm not sure he's up to the 270 or a 308 yet. Thanks, Racine

Gents, I was loaned a S&W 629 by a good friend to take with me to Yellowstone while I fish and pack. I shoot mostly 45acp & 40SW for competition and have been for 10 years+. I ask here as I have not shot a 44mag since my first attempt at a handgun in 1976 when an acquaintance thought it...

I've been reading these posts on backpacking 44s and I'm trying to narrow it from 44mag to a gun maker. I shoot primarily semi autos in 40sw and 45acp and have very limited experience with revolvers (Scandium/Airweight 38, SW 357 mags and a friends Ruger Blackhawk 44). I'm not looking for a...

I could use some help from some of you pros in recommending a 20ga load for a very gunshy and lightweight 12 y/o boy. He has a new 870 Express Compact and I bought 10 boxes of 2 3/4", 2 1/2 dr, 1oz 6 lead shot. This is listed as heavy game loads. He found them too heavy in the recoil dept. I...

I thought I'd post a question to some of you shotgun experts. I have this 1100 bought used in 1998. I had called Remington and asked them to research this. I also asked the gunsmith if I could shoot steel shot through them and I got a negative response. I was informed the barrel, action and...
