    Beholla pistol 7.65

    Anyone else out there have a vintage Beholla pistol. I picked one up over the weekend and upon disassembly, discovered the barrel pin is missing. Someone had jammed a screw in there. Anyhow, trying to find the diameter and length of the pin. Thanks!

    Next revolver, 3" S&W 36 or 5" Police Positive Special

    I've come across 2 very different revolvers, both priced at $425. Can't decide between them (can't afford them both). Main purpose is just a fun 38 Special to shoot, and a classic, with a nice trigger. I already have Ruger 357's in 2", 3" and 6" and a Colt Cobra 2" and S&W 36 2". The 5"...

    Warm 45 Colt loads for my Ruger SRH

    I picked up a 7.5" Super Redhawk in 454 Casull/45 colt today. Would like some suggestions for a warm 45 Colt load using Xtreme .452 Plated 255gr bullet heads. I'm an experienced loader, but first 45Colt. I've got most pistol powders (from bullseye, 231, Unique, PP, AA 5/7/9, TB, etc). I was...

    New favorite powder in 30 Carbine

    I had purchased a can of AA#9 a few years ago and its been sitting on the shelf for a while, not sure what to use it in. I originally bought it for 357 Mag, but I've stuck with 2400 & 296 in it. So, I looked up what other calibers it was suitable for, and found data for 30 Carbine. Thought I...

    Barnes 55gr TTSX

    Picked some of these up the other day. Loaded 1 up and fired it into some water to see how it performed, yes, I know water isn't the same as bone and tissue, but I was bored this weekend. Anyhow, lined up (4) 1 gallon jugs of water and a Tiddy Cat jug filled with water. Was surprised it went...

    Walmart Gun of the Month!

    Taken today at a nearby Walmart. I guess we aren't to sensitive to national events, or just plain stupid. Either way, I saw humor.

    Anyone using Silhouette in 40 S&W?

    Tried 7.0gr Silhouette with Montana Gold 155gr JHP out of my Glock 23. Ramshot's data says start 6.9gr for 1100fps - 7.4gr for 1170fps with an XTP @ 1.135" I loaded up 10 with 7.0gr, ran them across my Chrony for 977fps (77 degrees). Not even close to the advertised velocity. Loaded another...

    Hate it when you can't get a bullet to shoot accurately!

    After shooting for the past 2 years Hornady 240gr XTP's over either 2400 or 296, I decided to try something less expensive out of my Marlin 1894. This is the only 44 Mag that I own. I have a little 4x scope mounted on it. I picked up 500 PowerBond 240gr Plated Hollow Points. Priced nice at...

    Over pressure in 357 Mag with 296??

    I just got back from the range shooting my 6" GP100. If I am reading the cases right, the bottom row all show signs of excessive pressure, yet I am under the start charge for 296 with a 125gr JHP. 296 with a 125gr JHP and CCI Small Pistol Magnum Primers: Start 21.0gr, Max 22.0gr per Hodgdon's...

    Duplicating Buffalo Bore 357 Mag Low Flash Short Barrel Loads

    I see posts all the time about duplicating the BB 38 Special +P 158gr LSWCHP, but I haven't seen much discussion about duplicating their line of Short Barrel Low Flash 357 Magnum loads - available in 125gr, 140gr and 158gr. http://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=21 These seem...

    Is there a better powder than Unique?

    After many years of mainly using Unique and Bullseyes in the calibers below, I've decided to try another powder and am looking for suggestions for powders that works better than Unique in the following caliber / loads. 9mm w/124gr Plated RN & 124gr MBC LRN, and 115 & 124 JHP 40 S&W w/165gr...

    Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14x40 Scope or something else?

    I want a new scope for my Marlin XS7 243 Win. Mainly used for target shooting, and occasionally for deer hunting. I've used my buddies Nikon Buckmasters on his Tikka T3 Super Varmint in 308 and was very impressed. I have a Nikon Prostaff on my AR and have been happy with it but thought I would...

    Traditions Pursuit LT or CVA Optima?

    I'm new to muzzleloaders but they have always seemed interesting to me ever since a fellow let me shoot his at the range one day. Would like some input between these 2 muzzleloaders. Intended purpose is occasional target shooting for fun and GA muzzleloading season (shots less than 100 yards)...

    Please rate these powders for a M1 Garand...

    So, I'm just starting out reloading for my M1 Garand I recently picked up (Winchester, Dec 1943). I'm a long time pistol reloader (20+ years), and 2 years in on reload for my AR15 & 30-30. I'm looking for a better metering powder for the M1 Garand, which has very specific burn rate...

    Fun shooting ammo for the Mosin Nagant!

    Picked up some of this Czech surplus ammo for my recently purchased 1942 M38. After first firing 20 rounds of 148gr light ball through it, this Czech 46gr ammo is awesome. Seemed to be about as accurate, still produces a loud bang and fireball...
