For you reloaders out there. When was the last time you shot factory rounds at the range? Or when was the last time you bought factory rounds besides 22? For me, I have not bought factory rounds in he last 3 years. Those were 308 rounds when I got my first hi-power rifle. I think that I still...

I have tried a KelTec (3), Ruger and S&W Shield in 9mm single stack guns and really did not like they way they felt in my hand or the recoil. I heard that the Walther PPS was a just like the PPQ (which I love) so I ended up getting one. Took it to the range today and the people who said that...

Went to the Gun Show this weekend and picked up 2k CCI Small pistol primers and 2k CCi small rifle primers for $30.00 per 1000. Also, been looking at some Shooters World powder. I heard I think it is the same powder as Accurate Powder. Even made in the same plant. I got a pound of the...

I used to head out to the range about every other week if not more often but for the last 8 or 9 weeks something has come up (2 weeks hurricane Matthew) and have not been able to go. After every range trip I would clean and reload the brass I shot and usually some extra. Last Thursday night I...

I keep kicking around what I should be carry in the car or on my person. I have some 1911s, Walthers and a few other that I can shoot targets better than others but this really is not about shooting targets. Now, I carry as SCCY2 and Keltec 380 every day. Why I am not sure. I have a bunch...

Decisions has been made for Saturday. Get up early in the morning, have my cup of coffee then load the car for the range. Weapons of choice: No 1 Ruger 45-70, Marlin 1885 45-70, Winchester pre-64 30-30. Need to try out the peep sights on the No. 1 Maybe start at 50 yards? Now for the hand...

Headed to the range today with only rifles. The 22 is a pre-64 Marlin 39A Mountie, the a SKS, the 30-30 is a pre-64 Winchester and the 45-70 is a new Marlin. I was shooting Federal 22s, Steel case 76.2s, 3030 was 170 grn Ranch Dogs over 25.5 gns if IMR 3031 and the 45-70 was 4 rounds of...

By some standards not much but got a few different types at a gun show. One pound of Hodgdon 4198, 335, 322, 4227, Accurate 1680 and Alliant RL7. The only powder that I had was the 355 and 4227. Interesting that there was a bunch of 2400 and 1680. I think that I got the only pound of RL7 at...

Just got in some Hornady 350 grn SP and 300 grn Nosler Ballistic Point for the 45-70. Also the first time loading with cowboy dies. Lessons learned: 1. 57.7 gn of IMR 3031 takes forever to drop out of RCBS uniflow powder thrower. Had powder all over the bench. 2. IMR is a pain to use large...

I have a bunch of the "standard" rifle powder on the shelf but some manuals call for powder that is hard to get. Less say that The Hornady manual calls for 30 gns of Reloader 7 which has a burn rate of 146. And the 30 grns is a starting load. I do not have any Reloader 7 but have IMR 3031...

Thinking about getting a KelTec or Highpoint Carbine in most likely 9mm. I know that the KelTec can use a Glock Magazine. What magazines does the Highpoint use? Anybody shot either one of this rifles?

In getting line for a couple of cans. Looking to get one for a 22 and one for a 5.56 this year. I know that it is best to shoot sub-sonic ammo. I have seen 22s list that way but not many. Couple of questions: Does it do much damage to the can to shoot reg LR velocity? I reload all my...

Got all the signatures for my gun trust done yesterday. Now looking at all the different cans out there. For someone new at this, this can be worst than choosing my first gun 40 years ago. I am thinking that I want to try to get 2 cans this year, one for a 5.56 and the other for a 22...

anybody know where I might be able to get a schematic for a 1911 that I would be able to hang on the wall. Maybe even put it in a frame. Would need it big enough for my old eyes to see. While at it, maybe a site that has schematics for some different guns like a Winchester 1984 (pre-64) 30-30.

I know that you are not suppose to shot lead out of a Glock (per Glock) but how about plated or poly coated bullets? I do clean all my guns after shooting them.

I have a friend that is thinking about getting a Boberg pistol and I watched the animation on their home page and understand the concept but not sure about the functionality of the gun. Does anybody have one or shot one that can comment on them?

Was thinking about getting a Ruger American rifle or Savage Axis in 308. Having a hard time finding an Axis II. A friend mentioned that the Mossberg Patriot has gotten some great reviews. Not really a fan of Mossberg or Savage to be honest but thing do change. I do not plan to hunt with...

When adjusting a scope to zero, do you adjust the shot to the cross hairs or bring your cross hairs to your shot? It seemed that when I tried to adjust the shot to the cross hairs, the adjustment were going in the opposite directions.

Just got in a set of Hornady dies for the 380 along with a bunch of brass. I am tumbling and resizing the brass while deciding on what bullets to load. I looked at Missouri Bullet, Blue Bullet and Extreme Bullet companies for plinking around. When ordering the dies I ordered some Barnes...

I know NOTHING about a black powder firearm. A client who's husband passed away brought in a KnightRifle Disc Extreme 50 cal rifle. The stock is synthetic with a SS barrel. I did try to get in touch with KnightRifle's but they were not available. Like I said I know nothing about...
