Just wondering. My favorite shooting place is quite far away and I prefer to take one of my bikes as they get much better mileage. I generally leave my guns out there but one of my friends has taken an interest in my favorite rifle... and frankly I don't want him touching it. Its in pristine...

Decided to use the ol .357 this year for deer since I haven't had any luck getting the .500 to group and the .357 can read your mind no matter the ammo you feed it and shoot a fleas nuts off (1894C). I'm going to work a load up on my own but I'm mostly wondering if anyone experienced any...

I had a set amount I was belling the case mouths for my straight lead bullets. When I started trying to load gas checked bullet (which I am new to) they shaved lead like crazy. I think one even went in a bit crooked. I can't tell but im not firing it. After one or two I went back and...

Remington Sport Master 341. My first gun. Found it in the attic as a kid covered in rust. Because I was a hard headed little fart I spent ages sanding it down and then re-bluing it. Polished up the shot, checked the bore, and took it to shoot. The ramp for the rear sight is missing but a...

All loads listed anywhere I can find (manuals and powder manufactures pages) are ~20% below SAAMI. I hear it is because they become difficult to extract in revolvers. Does the same hold true for handi rifles? Also, anyone's manuals show anything for 460 LFN GC (Matt's Bullets) with W296 or...

Anyone have any makeshift ghetto loading techniques? (safe ones!). I really wanted to try my new gun this weekend but I don't have a priming tool for large rifle primers yet (in shipping). Dead blow hammer, dowel rod inside the case, primer underneath it, 2x4 under that. Tap the dowel rod with...

I picked me up a new handi rifle. I had grand plans of shooting it this weekend but the local store wanted 62 for 20 rounds. Instead I bought some of their over priced brass (44 for 50) which I am still kicking myself for. I have the dies etc... But ordering bullets seems to be a bit of a pain...

Ok I know about tritium and other methods of illumination. Has anyone tried glow in the dark paint with any success? this place claims theirs lasts about 10 years and is visibly glowing for 12 hours after a 10 min charge. http://glowinc.com/detail.aspx?ID=1 I was looking in to it a while...

Anyone else see an issue here? especially with the prices? (ranges from about $40-$299) I own one of these, the iTac version. Its a decent sight, think I payed $30 shipped. Does this seem wrong to anyone else though? I'm sure there are more too. There are others too that are very similar but...

A bull pup design is great in that it lets you have a longer barrel and retain some velocity in a smaller package. Are there any commercially available rifles that make use of that design to make an already full length rifle more powerful? Like a 30-06 bullpup? There is a nice list on wiki of...

A friend of mine has an old marlin 60 missing the part that slides into the tube and compresses the ammo. Its one of the models that had the wood over the top of the barrel (which is missing on his). I see replacements on Brownell but does anyone know what the old models with the wood over the...

Just getting a sanity check here before I blow a stupid rooster apart. Does 20 guage 8.5 shot at 1100fps (reduced kick load) have much range? I don't have much land and am trying to figure out a powder powered chicken killer. I'm a bit to scared to use the 20 guage for fear of stray pellets...

Talking carbines here. I've just been wondering, white tail don't require a whole lot of penetration. Would the hyper velocity 125g loads (2000-2300fps) hollow points be more likely to bang flop a deer than the heavier slower 158 or 180 grain loads due to hydrostatic shock and less energy spent...

Here is an ol toy of mine I inherited. From the serial number 58xxxx *Edit for bad eyes* 388xxx. Sights are adjustable. Anyhow, have never shot it. I inherited it with some cowboy loads in the cylinder. She mostly just sits in my closet lookin purty.

Might be a dumb questions but do I have to resize if all of these are going in to the same gun? I have been but its a huge PITA with the lee loader classic. Also, do I have to clean the insides out? Does the leftover residue harm anything in plinking loads? I don't have a tumbler :( This is for...

My wife is rather short. Probably about 5'. I've been trying to teach her to shoot but with the stocks seem to be too long for her to make good use of any optic or really hold the gun right. She is right handed but I see her trying to use her left eye to aim... Is there some special technique...

I'm 99.9% sure I didn't double powder any bullets, but I am one of those people that checks to make sure the alarm clock is on 5 times, the coffee machine is off at least twice, etc... I'm loading 6.4 grains of Unique in .357 magnum behind 125 grain cast bullets. 12.8 might not blow my face off...
