    New scope

    I bought a new Vortex Viper HS scope about 2 weeks ago, 6 X 24, man I am stoked on how this has helped me in shooting my 788 Rem. in .223. I went to the range this past Fri., shot it at 50 yards to make sure it was on the paper. After making a couple of minor corrections, I shot the last 3...

    Well guys, I finally got to the range today with that Smith I picked up a week ago. I am absolutely impressed beyond belief ! I shot off the bench @ 15 yards, revolver support used, using American Eagle 45g. CPRN subsonic 970 fps ammo. I shot 12 rds. to see where I was hitting before I...

    I've gotta stay away…..

    from gun stores, any of them! Today I needed to get out and get some fresh air, with the snow, cold this past 2 weeks, the walls were getting too close. When I walked into my friends place, his co-worker walked up, asked me if I still liked Smiths, he reaches under the counter and produced 2...

    I met a guy at our range last week, he put me onto a fantastic product. The product's name is, " VFG Rifle Cleaners". The product is a round felt Pellet, hollow, can be screwed onto a fixture that holds the pellet while running through the bore. I went onto Brownell's and found the pellets...

    Anyone shoot Herter's ammo?

    I bought 4, 50 rd boxes a week ago, 158g. FMJFP, bought it specifically for the brass. I just resized and decapped 100 of them a bit ago, now in the corn cob tumbler, my point: After decapping, I noticed the primer cup on most of the cases, looked as if a primer hadn't ever gone off in the...

    What you see when no gun !

    This afternoon, I was coming home from my Mom's place, about 46 degrees, drizzly rain, some low hanging fog, really nice day. If any of you are familiar with the old Rocky Flats Nuclear Plant, just East of Boulder, wide open country, some nice deer hang out there year round. Anyway, just...

    I am not connected with this company in any way, shape or form ! Mods can move if not correct area. At a new gun store in my area this past week, I saw a brochure for upgrading flashlights, newer on the market products. The company is called "Terra LUX", website address is...

    Think I found my load!

    I took my .223 rifle, 788 Remington, to the range today, wasn't too pleased with it the other day. The other day I shot some loads I've shot for a long time, 52 gr. Sierra BTHP, with a charge of IMR 3031 powder, looked as if it were patterning a shotgun, { not really, but I'm a perfectionist }...

    I had an email posted on my computer when I looked this evening, "Your bullets have arrived, Please advise !" Hot Dang ! Hornady 158 gr. Spire Points, 30 cal., $23.00/100. I guess the 5 month wait was worth it, I'd almost forgotten about them. NO ONE at any GS's I've been to have had any, not...

    I finally got primers!!

    I lucked out today!! I'd gone to a sptg. gds. place about 10 days ago, no primers to be had. Monday past, I called the guy, "Might have some Wed., don't know for certain." I called his place at 2:00 PM today, "Yep, we just got an order in, you'd best hurry!" I snagged 2K SPP, hopefully some...

    2400 powder, any good for .357's?

    I'm wanting to load some .357's I've got, just curious if anyone loads with this powder. I'm not wanting any barn burners, just want some rounds 1150 to 1250 fps, SP 101 3.1 inches being used. I've used Win. 296 before, but seems a bit dirty, want to avoid this if possible. Thanks in advance.

    Hell of a time sizing brass

    Gents, I've reloaded for 40 some years, today I got some new brass, Starline in .38 Spl., was resizing it, then going to bell the mouths. I use Imperial sizing wax for all of my reloading, until tonight. As I ran a mty into the sizing die, I had to really bear down on the ram handle to get...

    Old revolver to the range

    I took my newest pawn shop revolver to the range yesterday afternoon, S&W 38-44 HD, got to see how this old warhorse shoots. WOW, was I pleasantly surprised! This revolver shoots a whole lot better than I can shoot it, hands down. I was shooting a mild load, 158 gr. SWC, 4.0 gr. of WW 231, 750...
