Just tried my first 45 loads. Got a 1.5" group with 10 rounds at 15 yds. All rounds were touching, so I'm sure it was me doing the moving. I am really impressed, now if I can find a cheaper way of loading these. With the initial price of bullets, powder, and primers these loads cost as much...

Just got some mixed brass. A lot of it has this headstamp. Looks heavy like the LC stuff, but is this military brass also? Thanks, Jim

I just had a stupid thought. Has anyone used military 06 bullets in 308 win? I bid on some on E-bay because I "thought" they were interchangable. They are 150 gr FMJ. Thanks, Jim

Shot my first reloads today. Loaded .308 and 7.62x39. Accuracy with .308 was much better than the surplus I have. 7.62x39 was about the same as the same as the brown bear I have been using, with a slightly lower recoil. Loads were: 7.62x51: military brass, 37 gr Accurate 2460, 147...

I loaded some 7.62x39 loads last night. But I noticed the data I got from the powder company said to compress the max loads. I loaded based on the starter loads which was 26.6 gr of accurate's 2460 with a 123 gr speer sp. That almost completely filled the case. I doubt I will ever load these...

Went to the show this weekend, and came away with a Yugo 59/66. Overall not bad condition, but the bore is horrible. But when I took it to the range yesterday, it shot great. Almost as accurate as my 10/22, but I have a better stock, sights, and trigger on the ruger. But for $110, I feel a...

We are having a gun show here this comming weekend. I hear everyone saying that is the place to find ammo cheap. But most of the deals are (I assume), someone elses hand loads. What should I look for in finding SAFE loads? I know nothing about re-loading at this point, but don't want to...

What things should be checked with Mak's to make sure of safe function? Already checked the recoil spring, and it needs replaced. But didn't find anything else that really looked worn. Also, the blueing isn't great and was considering bead blasting it and coating with something else...

My wonderful wife went to the gun shop yesterday and got me a brand new S&W 1911 pd commander, with the scandium(sp?) frame. Any one had one of these and any thoughts for CCW with this? It is the only weapon I REALLY have been drooling over, but knew if I bought it, there would be trouble...

My wife and I spent most of the afternoon at the range/store looking for a pistol for her that will double as a sometimes carry gun for me. Everything I have is auto, but she just didn't like the feel of any of the smaller auto's. Her feeling comfortable and able to operate the weapon is the...

I was at my gun-smith's the other day, and was checking out the Makarov's he had. I really liked the feel of them, and for a cheap weapon, I really liked the feel. How hard is the 9x18 ammo to come by? Or would I be better off looking for a 380?

I got a colt mkIV series 70 government model yesterday. It is the nickel plated version, but looks rough. Internally it looks as though it has been fired very little, but has a place on the slide worn and another place were someone tried to etch on it. Little rust on the frame. Went to the...

I was at the gun store---again. They have a colt 1911, was just wondering if they were any good. All I hear is talk of the springfield and kimber. I won't be getting one any time soon, but would like to get a 1911 someday. Thanks, Jim

I am considering the purchase of a beretta storm cx4 in 9mm. Wondering how they have been holding up? Also any insight of things to check or look out for, the one I have my eye on is a used weapon. But I get to fire it this weekend free to see if I really like it. Thanks, Jim

I am new to pistols in general. I had a berretta in the military, that I hated. I have small hands and it just felt way to big. I made a trade with a good Kuwaiti Colonel and got a whole case of Browning High Powers, and that was the best feeling and shooting 9mm (in my limited experience)...

Finally got another pistol, sold everything when my daughter was born. Loved the ruger MK 1 I had. Went to the store today and liked the feel of this better. How accurate should this be? The sights are adjustable so I would guess that it would be easier to zero. But it also was about the...

I just saw a mossburg 702, was wondering if anyone has tryed one of these? Its a cheap 22lr, but don't want to throw away money if I don't have to. Thanks, Jim

I have been looking around at different weapons, and still haven't decided what I want (or what wife will let me get). Sold a ruger MKII long ago, soon after my daughter was born. But anyway I came across this site about this teenager who sued and won a judgment for 51 mil. against Jennings...

Anyone else have one of these? I just bought my first shotgun a couple of weeks ago (NEF pardner pump). But couldn't pass up the 1300 at walmart for 243. Have run about 1000 rounds through the pardner, but heard the 1300 was faster. I haven't shot any with it yet, but it feels better...

I have a stupid question, I just got an 870 clone. I went out this past weekend and shot about 125 rounds. Everyone keeps saying to shoot with both eyes open, but this messes with me. I am right handed, but left eye dominant. Seems that if I throw and shoot quickly (throwing by hand...
