I've been reading about the ladder method of load development and decided I'd give it a try. The idea is to shoot a variety of powder charges starting low and going up and pick a load based on the vertical dispersion. Supposedly the rounds will string vertically and when you get a group of shots...

I bought 1000 Wolf Standard Small Rifle primers at the last gun show. I've shot a couple hundred .223 with 55gr bullets and and a mild charge of H335 and all was well. This week I loaded up some Hornady 68 BTHP with Varget from 24.0 to 25.5gr. Hodgdon's website lists starting charge at 24.0...

I went to the flea market last weekend looking for a blender, fan or other small motorized mechanism from which I could scavenge a motor to make a tumbler. Right away I spied an orbital sander for $7, but that wasn't really what I sought. I wandered around for an hour or so (flea markets down...

I'm getting interested in High Power Service Rifle. I figure if I get involved, I'm gonna need lots of practice and that means lots of ammo. Naturally, I will want to do this as economically as possible. I see surplus powder at some savings over commercial powder and a big savings over the one...

I took two of my teenage nephews shooting yesterday. As one of them was shooting the P95 loaded with Russian Barnaul 9mm steel-cased 115 FMJ from Academy, I heard a strange POP. The gun stopped running. I ran the slide and an empty case came out. The slide wouldn't return to battery. I...

I'm looking to buy a .45 ACP soon. I want a full size gun with a full capacity magazine. That means double digit capacity. I like some of the modern whiz-bang pistols with almost every feature but a cupholder and high capacity to boot. However, I have never shot any handgun as well as a...

I bought a new Mossberg ATR 308 a couple of weeks ago at Academy Sports. When I got home and tried to chamber a round, I found that it wouldn't chamber. I pulled the bolt out and looked and the ejector had a ring of rust around the base of it. It wouldn't move for nothing. Now, that sucks. A...

I've always shot handguns isosceles and with both eyes open. When dryfiring today, I thought a session in front of a mirror would be good to actually see what I was doing and help iron out any kinks. When drawing and aiming straight ahead, I saw that my pistol was not centered up on my body...

I have a Lyman powder measure that is threaded on the outside of the dispensing tube on the bottom. The internal inverted funnel works fine for dispensing powder directly from the measure for anything greater than .30 caliber. When loading .223, however, I must use a separate funnel. I guess...

I've been struggling for a while with my Marlin 60 and its failures to feed. I bought the gun in a pawn shop a year ago. It was rusty on the outside and looked like it hadn't been shot on the inside. I've since put some 6,000-8,000 rounds through it. The vast majority of those were its favorite...

Looking at red dot scopes, you see that they list the size of the dot in MOA - 4 MOA, 6 MOA, etc. I understand that these scopes aren't designed for benchrest work, but how does the size of the dot translate to your ability to shoot groups? If a scope is 4 MOA, then could I not likely shoot a...

Yeah, I know I need training. Someday. Save the bandwidth. For those of you who shoot well, how long was it before you were good? How many rounds? How often did you shoot? How well do you shoot? How do you define "shoot well"?

With the possibility of another Weapon Ban, I have been wondering if you know of anyone who was prosecuted for violating the first one. What were the penalties? How would sunsetting affect a conviction history?

I understand that most Americans are connected to teh internets, and presumably that would make those online about evenly split between Conservative and Liberal. I ask, though, in reference to the Zumbo fiasco. He came out online on the side of gun grabbers and the response was swift and...

I was just reading some posts by Ed Harris (Ed's Red) on yarchive.net. He states that Breakfree CLP will neutralize the effects of corrosive primers. I know that CLP is much more expensive than soap and water. I have to wonder, though, if I could get away with running a patch of CLP through...

I took my Mosin 91/30 out for the second time this weekend. I shot 20 rounds of Czech silver tip and 20 of Albanian. I shot 10 rounds of each ammo at 100 yards and 10 rounds of each at 200 yards. The Albanian produced a 5" round group at 100 yards. The Czech group was 2.5" wide by 12"...

I had my Mosin 91/30 leaning against the bookshelf behind my desk at the office today. Two employees from Mexico commented that it reminded them of the Mauser. One said that his father had a Mauser on his ranch in Mexico. The other's grandfather had one. He said that after the Revolution the...

I plan to buy a cheap used .22 bolt gun for my 4 year old son and cut the barrel and stock down to fit him (ala Chipmunk). He has a hard time getting a good cheek weld on my Marlin 60 when he holds it under his arm. If the butt is against his shoulder, he can't reach the trigger. Is there a...

via Drudge: http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/news/16173616.htm I don't think this is a surprise to many of us tinfoil hatters, just confirmation. As has been posted here many many times, think about what you are going to write in your post. Post as if there is a Federal Agent looking...
