I found this picture to be pretty amusing. Enjoy

I bought some mixed once fired brass and all of the Hornady cases have large pockets. The rest (Starline, Winchester, Federal Etc.) have small pockets. At 38,500 PSI it seems like I could run LPP or SPP since 454 Casull runs at 65,000psi with a SRP. I know that is assumption and the statement...

I bought a bing bang and paid for it right away. It was shipped on the 7th from the very center of Kentucky and since the 11th it has not updated its tracking info. I was told that rifle packages are “outsider” packages and that they have to be handled by a human. Given the time of year and the...

This may be old new to some of you but I just found out today that Les passed away last February. I live pretty close to his shop and would have him do my transfers and we’d shoot the breeze each time I visited. He was a good man and a great resource for Ithaca shotgun repair. I will surely...

Let’s see what this video stirs up. I found it interesting. My take away is that I need an AR-10

I may have had a psychologically weak moment late last night and bought some “used” powder for $25/pound from AR. I have no regrets, but sleep deprivation can make me spend some money in curious ways. It’s all in good fun. Anyway, they had for sale 5 pounds of pull down powder. The load info...

Hello ladies and gents. I got myself my first tumbler today. I’ve been a good boy for the last 10 years and I’ve saved almost every piece of brass I’ve emptied and collected other brass that I’ve found laying around on the ground. Today, I piled a whole bunch of 45acp into my tumbler and away...

I am having a dickens of a time finding anything that would replace my broken rear sight. I bought the barrel used years ago and it doesn’t match the current design. Anyone got any ideas as to where I can get a replacement? Here’s the pics of the carnage. The front sight is soldered on. I’m...

My gf lives on a small postage stamp of land surrounded by a private ski resort of which we are patrons and yearly ticket holders. There are more than ample white tails here before the snow flys. Much of the land in undeveloped and creates a perfect habitat for a hunter like me. Sweet, I...

I bought a 686-3 with a 3” barrel sight unseen from an estate thinking it was a 4”. It is in flawless, maybe unfired but at least fired little, condition in the blue and white cardboard box with Pachymar grips and the original wood furniture. All the paperwork seems to be there, too. Rare...

I got sucked into the hype and bought a side charger only to see that they came out with the gen 2 two months later. I haven't even fired it yet (it's at camp in a place where it's unencumbered by stupid laws) but I can already tell that it's going to be problematic since the charging handle...

I took this pic at the local Wally. Somebody made a funny

Hey guys. I'm not a complete newbie to carbines but I know the basics as to what to look for. So far, I haven't laid eyes on the rifle as it is second hand information from a friend about an estate sale. Which ones are the hens teeth? I do know that Garands were taken apart, the parts put...

I have the American Ranch in 7.62x39. Beside the normal complaints of no iron sights or about the plastic stock, blah blah bah, my only gripe is that it's ridiculously loud. I don't have any device on the end of my barrel and suppressors are not legal here in NY, so what if anything can I...

I'd like to buy a box of 7.62x39 Power Shok to feed to the new deer rifle but all of us fools bought up anything with a primer and lead. I'd like to do it without paying shipping and handleing for a $25 item. I have plenty of other calibers I can shoot but, darn it, it's my truck gun. Rant...

hey folks, here's the info: 200 grain Hornady round nose interlock 39-40 grains leverevolution. Once-fired Hornady brass Headstamp writing flattened and the primer pockets won't take a new primer. The temps was in the low 80's Remington 141 This load was well below the max load. What's...

This was found in a pile of junk and red squirrel walnuts in an outbuilding that was being cleanid out. It's very dry and stiff. Can I get some ideas as to what product to use to recondition the leather? I'm not intending to use it (much) but I believe in passing it on to the next generation...

Let's hear it for the short action cartridge that could and did for the past 100 years. You're no 30-06 but then again, nothing is. Here's to you!!!

I have two piles of .308 bullets that I load 30-06. One is a 180gr fusion bullet and the other is the trophy ballistic tip (pictured). I use H4831 very successfully with the fusions but I'm hesitant to use it with the trophies. The reason is the OAL of the projectile is long @1.43" and the...

I have a deficit of 150gr PSP for my 300 Savage. I have a surplus of 168gr RN for my 30-30. I've loaded them in the 300 and they are accurate AF but I'm a bit hesitant to use them for taking game since I don't know if they will grenade or just mushroom like a boss at higher velocities. I was...
