Hi all, I've picked a hell of a time to get into handloading. After dallying with various .35 cal ideas, I've picked up on of the last matching AR barrels and bolts Tony Rumore of Tromix made for the quasi-wildcat .358 SOCOM (a necked-down .458/.375 SOCOM). I've had AR-Comp and 4895...

Hey guys, I've long had a hankering for a .358 cal AR for hogs and thick woods hunting and plinking with pistol bullets. I'm looking at the .358 SOCOM from Tromix and the .358 Yeti from Mad Dog for an AR15 sized gun (as compared to a .358 Win in a large frame). The theoretical performance of...

Guys, I need some help getting a value/price check on a rifle. A guy on a local forum has a Remington 700 CDL SF (Stainless Fluted). It is the Special Edition with the engraving on the bottom metal. I could care less about the special editionnes or the engraving of it all, but I am...

I was a bit of a late bloomer and got into firearms only several years ago. From the get-go, I've been enamored with the .358 Win, and am now in the position where I can start putting money towards a pet project. As such, I've got some questions for you Ruger gurus: Ultimately, I want to...

Just a quick question for you reloading old hands from a newbie. I'm interested in .358 Win as a multiuse thumper / varmint / plinking cartridge, but am not sure how tight barrel's caliber tolerances are. Will .355 9mm bullets would work like the slightly bigger .357 handgun bullets do...

Hey guys, I'm getting my pennies saved up for my first handgun purchase, but am faced with a dilemma regarding which pistol to purchase and, more importantly, how I'm going to be able to carry it. I'm 6'4" with a build like a defensive tackle, and a gut like a retired boxer. I'm a fat guy, you...

(Preface: There's a lot of questions in here.) As a kid, I was always the one who'd pay no mind to his Lego directions and instead build something his own way. I'd give my Hot Wheels cars new paint jobs and chop up my GI Joes to reassemble them anew. Now that I've been turned on to firearms...

Later this year I plan on building out my dream all-weather woods gun, specifically a Browning BLR in 7mm-08. I have a question about coating processes (Cerakote, Duracoat, Teflon, etc): are they possible or advisable* on the BLR? I don't know much about what goes into them, but being...

1-30 UPDATE: As this thread has progressed, it's been pointed out to me that 9mm is simply a non-option for varmints of the four legged variety. Therefore, please consider this a debate between 357 and 45acp (presently considering a CZ 97 or other DA/SA steel frames). In the next few weeks I'll...

Hi guys, I've been lurking at THR for a while now, but this will be my first time actually posting. I could use your expert opinions! I've only gotten really into firearms and hunting in the last year. I've got a Remington 700 and have now set my sights on my first pistol, specifically a...
