I was given a pristine 90's Remington 700 ADL in .270 Win several years ago from an older friend who has since died. I harvested a doe and a buck with it this fall but ruined the barrel dealing with an obstruction (looooong story). I was sick over it! It is a nice rifle, and I would like to...

I have never liked pulling the expander button through the neck when resizing rifle brass. It seems that it causes the case length to grow more than I want even though I carefully lube inside the necks. I hate trimming cases often. I thought about using the dies with neck bushings, but it...

I just bought a new Leupold VX-2 3-9X40 scope on a great Cyber Monday deal. Now I need to buy receiver bases and scope rings for my Remington 700 in .270 Win. I have never understood or liked the dovetail style scope mounts. I have become pretty used to using the weaver/picatinny style rails...

Are Federal brand large Rifle primers more sensitive than other brands? I know people believe Federal primers are the most sensitive of pistol primers. I had an unfortunate situation yesterday where I fired at a deer with a handload using CCI BR large rifle primers and the only sound was a...

I recently inherited an excellent condition but older Remington 700 ADL in .270. I am really proud to own this rifle and plan to use and reload for it. I removed the iron sights and filled the holes with the correct filler screws. The filler screws look okay for the rear sight holes but they...

I like Power Pistol powder for 9mm and .40 S&W loads. However, I am confused about the data and recoil. I've worked up 9mm and .40 to near max per published data. The loads don't show any signs of excessive pressure and are within data for standard pressure loads. I know PP is designed to...

I bought a big box of Rainier 165 flat point plated .40 S&W bullets. I've been working up medium velocity range practice and IDPA loads with Titegroup and am now working with Power Pistol. I also have HS6 available. I am shooting a brand new Glock 22 and fairly new 23c. Any favorite loads...

I bought a set of Hornady .45 ACP and .40 S&W pistol die sets recently. After a couple of hours of frustration and some ruined brass cases, I realized the sets come with the ROLL crimp. You have to buy a separate taper crimp die for autoloading cartridges. A call to Hornady confirmed my...

What have been your experiences with 40 to 9 conversion barrels for Glock pistols? Any tips? Any limitations? Any particular brand of conversion barrel better quality or more problematic than others? (ie. Storm Lake, Lone Wolf, KKM Precision) Any chance of damaging the Glock with the...

I saw a new 3rd Gen. Glock 22 with "God Bless Texas" laser engraved on the slide at Cabela's this morning and had to have it. It also has a the Texas flag and an outline of the state engraved on either side of "God Bless Texas." It's my first .40 S&W pistol. I've been slow to want to buy a...

Every time I have bought new Starline brass it comes with dark tarnish spots on it. The tarnish is just on the surface and usually small spots. Not every piece has it but many do. None of the other brands of brass or ammo I've purchased has such tarnish spots. It surprises me since Starline...

I traded for a like new, recent production 3rd generation G21 this afternoon. I've shot a friend's G21 before and found it to be quite accurate. The grip is big but fits my hand pretty well. I've had many Glocks before. Any advice on the Glock 21? Any ammo pickiness? Defense ammo...

Been awhile since I posted on The High Road... I went to the range yesterday with just my stock Beretta 92FS and PB, MDS and Mecgar magazines. I own several other handguns but just took the Beretta out this time. I know some people really criticize the model, but yesterday's trip reminded...

I bought a new synthetic/stainless Ruger 10/22 last weekend from Academy. I've wanted one for several years. I got to shoot it this morning and was very pleased with it. No malfunctions and accuracy seems to be good. Looks like the kids and I are going to really enjoy it. I compared it to...

I used Trail Boss this morning for the first time. It was cheaper and available in the middle of our current primer/powder shortage. It is very unique looking - fluffy to better fill the case. I tried to drop 4.0 gr. out of my RCBS powder measure while loading 80 rounds of .38 sp. After...

I have become a fan of plated bullets. They're clean, accurate and about the same price as lead unless you cast your own. I would like to taper crimp some light and midrange 38/357 loads. Can I taper crimp with a RCBS roll crimp die by adjusting it just short of the roll crimp? Or would I...

I bought a couple of pounds of HS-6 the other day. What is your experience with HS6 in 9mm, 38 Special and 357 Magnum? Work well with medium to full power loads? Dirty? Accurate?

I have some once fired tarnished or lightly corroded 9mm Federal brass that I've tumbled. Some tarnish/corrosion spots are large but don't seem deep. I plan to load it up with some light loads for lost brass matches. Any problem?

I just bought a S&W 629-1 with 6" barrel .44 magnum from a friend. It is in like new condition. How strong is this model? Strong enough to digest full powered .44 magnum loads? (factory or book loads, nothing nuclear) It has a great single action trigger and seems to be very accurate.

I recently purchased a new or like new Marlin 1894 rifle in .44 magnum from an individual's collection. It is blued and has smooth stocks with no checkering. Regular round barrel, not octagonal. Serial 970218XX. It seems to have ballard rifling. It does not indicate "microgroove" on the...
