Just wanted to pass on my experiences with RCBS. I have been reloading for many years and have experience using several different brands of presses, dies, etc. I find myself coming back to RCBS over and over again, and here's why: Their customer service is oustanding as are their...

Hey all, I have been handloading for several 243 rifles for many years. I use the 58 grain Hornady Vmax bullets for coyote hunting and they are extremely accurate in my rifle which has a 1/9 twist rate. I am running out of my stash of IMR 4064 (my preferred 243 powder) but I recently got...

Hello, I just purchased a Glock 34 (Gen 3). This gun will be used as a range gun and will likely not be used in competition although it's a great competition gun. I plan to shoot 115 grain ammo as that is the ammo I have on hand. Is there any need to change out the factory Spring to...

I have been loading Copper Plated bullets for many years. With the recent shortage of pistol powder in my area, I have just purchased a few pounds of Hodgdon Longshot Powder in desperation for loading 45 ACP rounds. Yes, I know it's primarily a shotgun powder, but I cannot find any more...

I have a very random question - I have been smelting down range lead and casting bullets for several months now. I take the left over copper plating from the bullets and put them in my wet tumbler. All copper plated steel jackets are removed from the lot with a magnet. Once in the wet tumbler...

Hello, I am new to reloading and curious if someone can explain the differences or similarities between the Lee 50th anniversary kit, the Lee Challenger kit, and the Lee Classic Turret. Is the basic idea behind the Classic Turret that you can keep your dies set on the turret so you dont have...

I own a Beretta 390 shotgun which is my do-all shotgun for the field. I am considering buying an extra barrel for the gun and having a gunsmith cut it down to 18.5 inches for "home defense" and just because I am looking for a fun project. Is this a possibility with a Beretta 390 barrel? The...

I just bought a Weatherby Vanguard and the original owner gave me an extra stock for the gun which happens to be a Hogue Overmolded stock- a very nice one. To my great surprise, I found that this stock was one of the very expensive pillar bedded stocks. The only issue is that the owner painted...

I am buying a cheap pump shotgun to throw behind the seat of my truck. I already own a Beretta Semi-Auto so I am not looking for anything really nice. I can get a new Mossberg Maverick 88 (synthetic, 28" barrel) for $187 or a like new Winchester 1300 (wood stock, 28") for $250. I like the...

I am curious about the advantage of a trap load or sporting clays load over a regular hunting shell- lets say a AA Sporting clays load vs Wally World Federal special in the same velocity and oz load. What justifies the price difference? I am guessing that the AA has a better wad system or...

I just recently purchased a Savage .25-06 and I am going to mount a Nikon 4-12x40 on it. I am also going to buy the same scope for my Savage .223. Just curious if I should sight the guns in with the scope on the highest (12x) magnification or the lowest (4x)? I am going to sight the gun in...

I know this question has been hashed out on dozens of sights but I want to know what you guys think. I have a Stevens 200 .223 in Camo that shoots great- I am currently pondering selling it though in order to get the same or similiar gun in .22-250. I shoot coyotes and I am finding that at...

I have a Stevens 200 .25-06. I am a HUGE fan of the .25-06. I have not had a chance to shoot this gun yet as I just recently purchased it. I am assuming it will shoot like all the other Stevens I have owned- under 1" at 100 with factory ammo (I do not reload). I adjusted the trigger which...

Hello all, I have been shooting and hunting for 15 years in Nevada and Idaho but I have always shot factory ammo. Now that I have some spare time and a little extra money, I would like to get into reloading- especially because I hate paying for .25-06 ammo because it is so expensive. I am...

Humor Me... I am going to buy a .308 rifle soon (within the next few weeks) and I have $400 to spend. The choices are... Savage 10 (Walmart- with Accutrigger and scope) - $384 Weatherby Vanguard $399 Howa 1500 $410 Marlin XS7 Stevens 200 I am very familiar with the Savage, Stevens...

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0504-target-stabbing-20100504,0,2691568.story All I could say after reading this was I was glad that an off duty Sheriff deputy was carrying.

I just purchased a new Sig P229 SCT model with night sites in 9mm. I won the gun for a ridiculously low price on Auction Arms. It came with 4 18 round mags and I have since added two standard 13 round mags for conceal carry. I have drooled over these guns ever since my brother used one to...

I have an opportunity to buy one of these guns within the next few days... the P229 is on sale and so I need to decide quickly. Okay- first off- I know that these guns are in different leagues. What I am wondering is for range purposes, will the Sig SP2022 shoot just the same as a Sig P229...

I am looking for Sig owners who have shot the DAK trigger. I am considering purchasing a Sig P model pistol- most likely a P228 or P229. If I buy the P229, I would maybe be interested in getting the DAK trigger. I was curious if everyone is happy with their standard DA/SA trigger in the Sig or...

I have an addiction to buying new guns (admitting is the first step) and then trading them off when I get bored with them. Currently I am looking for a "new toy". I have previously owned: Glock 19 w/ night sites S&W M&P .40 XD .45 Beretta 92 9mm Taurus PT92 x2 9mm Sig SP2022 9mm...
