Stuck a case in my 25-06 sizing and decapping die. I got it unstuck at the expense of my expander ball and zip spindle. I looked locally and online and didn't find the whole package available anywhere. I called hornady and explained what happened and that I'm the one that broke it. He offered to...

Has anyone ever run into a non factory safety converted OM BH? I've got a 3 screw that has the safety conversion pieces done and in place, but I can't find the factory stamping indicating it was converted at the factory. I'm gonna call ruger on Monday, but am curious if anyone else had run into...

OK, so in my search for utmost accuracy, I'd like to sort my brass for further testing. Calibers will be 223 to be shot out of my AR, 22-250 out of a Kimber Varmint, and 25-06 out of a Sako AIII. Currently I have once or twice fired brass. Hornady brand for the 22-250 and 25-06 and various head...

Thoughts on this particular Ruger M77 I love Rugers, particularly their M77 With tang safety. I've gotta bead on one that is a 7mm Rem Mag with a stock that shows nice figure. Barrel is clean without issue and blot is slicker than goose poop. The only issue is there was some rust issues with...

RRA Elite CAR review Picked up a new AR today and wanted to give my initial review. It is a RRA Elite CAR model AR1230. To start with, it comes in its own hard case. This is nice as of lately everything has been cardboard. It has two buckle style latches. It is secure and comes with a good...

While my search for a Winchester Lightweight has ended up in a goose egg locally, there was a used Savage Model 11 Lightweight Hunter up for sale. I think they were asking $625. It was unique, super quick to the shoulder, and the lightest rifle I've ever shouldered. Has anyone shot these? How's...

I received $200 Christmas money from the inlaws. I make it a point to save windfall money, except Christmas money. They know I'm hard to buy for so this year, they were gracious to give me money. Anyhow, I've been borrowing a front and rear rest of my fathers. I forget the brand. It is a cast...

Looking at picking up another 7mm-08 and am looking at the two of these particular rifles. I like both and point and handle well for me. What are the pros and cons of each. They will be bought new current production.

I've had good success with CFE223 in the 308 family of cartridges that I load for as well as my 22-250. I've recently aquired a 25-06 and have started load development. On the hodgdon website they don't list CFE223 loadings. There are some under the 30-06. I imagine it is a suitable powder but...

Started shooting my 22-250. Bought RCBS dies and Hornady brass. Full length sized and trimmed brass to 1.900. Loaded up 55gr Nosler BT to 2.350. Shot well and got 3/4" groups. Full length resize, no trim needed and loaded again. At this time getting to load them was not difficult, but...

LGS has a 6" DW in 22lr. Very good shape. Passes revolver check out. It's on consignment for $400 and they don't budge consignment prices. What's everyone's opinion of it as a firearm and asking price. I had a 617 for a while and regret selling it. It spit lead so it wasn't a complete loss.

I've got a Kimber Varmint in 22-250. I'm finally getting around to loading for it. It has a 1:14 twist. I picked up some Hornady 35gr VMax bullets. Looking over my powder selections at home I've got Varget and 8208XBR. Anyone have success with these components already. My anticipation is...

Reloading 10mm with once fired starline brass, Longshot, and 200gr XTP. Bought Hornady New Dimension Dies and having issues with the crimp. I can get it adjusted to where it almost plunks cleanly in my G20 barrel. Any less and no go any more and too much crimp or crushed cases. Either way, no...

I sold off my Polaris 500 and Ranger 800 to pay off some bills a while back. I've diligently been saving and now have a $7500 spending limit. I'm looking for a mid bore Sport Utility ATV. I'm looking for opinions. I enjoyed my Sportsman 500, but they are gone in favor of the 570 with EFI, a...

I shot a friends Beretta CX4 Storm the other day in 40S&W and I have to admit, it was A LOT OF FUN. That got me thinking about owning one myself. While it is down on the list, I was still considering adding one to "the list". But it needs to have a few qualifiers: 9mm is a must due to cost. As...

Sig has a few polymer service size pistols, notably the P250, SP2022. Both retail in my area around $400 - $450. Which would you choose and why? Looking to pick one up as a comparison to my Smith M&P and Glock that I already own. Pros? Cons?

After buying my recent M&P in 40S&W, I got to thinking about standardization. I currently have 22, 380, 9, 40, 10mm, 45 acp caliber pistols excluding my revolvers. I saw my shelves full of ammo, but the idea of standardization came to mind. I don't think I could personally do it, but I find...

I was cleaning out my gun safe and saw my lonely Kimber CDP compact. It hasn't seen carry duty since getting my M&P compacts. I have 2 full size steel 1911's for range use and I don't even shoot them as much as I've gravitated to my revolvers mostly over the last several years. I carry my G20SF...

Looking for a do everything big game rifle that will be able to tackle anything in North America and eventually plains game in Africa. Debating myself between 30 vs 338 caliber. On top of that, I'm looking for specific caliber. I prefer a short action rifle with 20-22 inch barrel and under...

Picked up a Gen 3 G20 SF and am really digging it. I have a black Galco OWB holster for it which I use for around the woods, hiking, etc. I'd like to find a leather or possibly hybrid IWB holster for it. Anyone have a suggestion? I don't want to blow hundreds trying to find the right holster...
