Howdy all, I have been doing some research for loads for my 375 Ruger. I have been trying to find some data for low recoil or practice rounds that I can shoot. The only real low recoil data I have found is for cast loads using powders like Reloader 7. I don't have a mold for my .375 yet but I...

I was loading up some .45 ACP with cast bullets today. I was using 5.5gr of Unique under a 230gr bullet. I always double and triple check everything before I seat the bullet. Well on my triple check I noticed a case that I had double charged :eek:. So I poured it out and recharged it with the...

My 1987 marlin 336 is have trouble feeding. The rounds aren't coming out of the mag tube and the carrier is not lifting high enough to chamber the rounds. I took the gun completely apart and couldn't find anything broken. I was at the range when it happened so it could be that something fell...

I cant seem to find recoil springs for my Springfield 45 xd 4 inch service. Everyone sells them for the 9mm, 40 s&w, 357 sig, and 5 inch 45 but I cant find any for the 4 inch. I checked Midway, Brownells, and Wolff but nobody carried that one. If someone could point me in the right direction I...

Howdy all! I have been reloading for my 375 H&H with full length size dies for a couple of years now. I haven't had any problems but I have been reading about belted mags and case head separation. I am surprised I haven't had that happen to me yet. I'm under the impression that all you have to...

Howdy all! I have a question about headspacing. It will probably sound stupid to yall but please bear with me :banghead: :) I was reading through one of my load manuals and found this written several times when talking about belted magnums. "We recommend that you set your loading dies so that...

Howdy all! Ever since I have shot a Super Blackhawk I have been in love with that wide hammer it has. I prefer it over my standard blackhawk hammer which isn't as comfortable to me. The problem is I can only find it in stainless steel and my blackhawk is blued. Has anyone ever put a SS hammer...

Hello all, The tension between gun owners and anti-gun owners over the past few days has escalated quite rapidly. The anti-gun people want to put an end to the killings that have happened lately and in the past few years by removing all "assault weapons" and magazines that hold more than ten...

Hi all. I have been reloading for about three years now and I have become pretty good at making my own(although I seem to learn something new every time i sit down at the bench:D). I have had the interest lately to get into casting my own bullets and I am pretty set on it. What I need now is to...

Hey guys, I was wandering if anyone has used the Hornady 45-70 325gr FTX for big game such as moose and brown bear. I was going to reload for it before my hunt this year but I have run out of time. Thanks guys!

Hey everyone, I went to the store last night and picked up a box of hornadys FTX bullets for my 30-30. On the box it said "30 cal .308 160gr FTX". This morning I went over to the reloading bench and started to reload some of the rounds. I got the powder all measured out and poured it in the...

Hey guys, I am going on a moose/bear hunt come the middle of September up here in alaska. The gun iv decided to take along is my 45-70. Iv never loaded anything up for this gun so I was wanting some suggestions on some good big game hunting loads and bullets. On midway they sell the 450gr barnes...

Hey everyone, I have had some interesting problems with my RCBS powder scale (not the digital type). This afternoon I was making up some loads for a .41 mag, and was experimenting with a new load. I weighed a charge and the scale showed it as the exact weight. I loaded a second charge... same...

Hey guys, I am repairing the bluing on my Ruger SBH. I bought Birchwood Casey Paste Gun Blue to touch up some spots that were worn from shooting it. It worked really well for the smaller areas. On the blackstrap of the grip the bluing was missing down to the steel on half of the grip. I put...

Hey guys I need some help removing rust on the hammer on my Super Blackhawk 44 mag. Its kinda hard to explain but there is a thin layer of rust on both sides of the hammer. It wont come off with oil and Iv tried steel wool but it seems to be stuck on very hard. Does anyone have suggestions on...

Hey guys I saw this video on YouTube where this guy is reviewing a Rock Island Armory 1911 Tactical. At about 45 seconds he goes to decock the gun but doesn’t press in the grip safety on the pistol. When I held a kimber you had to keep the grip safety depressed when decoking it. Can someone give...

Hey everyone! My ruger 10/22 10 shot mag has been jamming recently due to all the powder residue down in the mag itself I poured gun oil down in it and that helped but it will probably have trouble again next time I shoot it alot. It doesn’t appear to me that you can just take it apart, does...

Hey guys Iv got a question. A friend of mine bought a Smith and Wesson 629 Backpacker 44 mag for bear protection when hiking. He asked me the other day I he could shoot big buffalo bore ammo though it. On the Buffalo Bore web sight they say for there biggest loads which are (340gr +p) you...

Hey everyone! I have a Russian mosin nagant 91/30 and I am trying to get some good hunting ammo reloads for it. I found some 180gr (.310 dia) Barns X bullets that look like they would be pretty good. So my question is can I use (.310 dia) bullets in a 91/30 mosin nagant barrel? I think the...
