As the last of this springs projects, ordered a Bell and Carlson stock made specifically for this rifle with heavy barrel and detachable mags. The rifle has been sitting quite some time as was having difficulty making it fit with limited scope mounting options putting scope too high and...

So is 7000 berdan rifle primers considered over bought? 2 large green boxes of the original speer 200 gn ashtray? Several boxes of Nosler's 250 44 caliber partitions? Was sharing the 500 yd rifle range with some shooters when the conversation revealed i was using reloaded berdan primed 308...

Am not a cowboy shooter, but do like shooting the Rugers in 45 LC. Favorite load is 7.5 gms hp-38 under 200 lrnp for just 850 fps from 4.5 in barrel. Unfortunately some sights need to be modified to accommodate the lighter bullets at 25 yds. Am liking the Lee 255 lrnfp, but use it for...

Best times of child hood was going to grandparents house to visit. Got to shoot bb rifle in the basement. They bought me first cap gun when very young, then those miniature muskets that fired cork balls powered by caps. Grandfather gave me first firearm when turned 12. Single barrel 20 gage...

In case my grand daughter needs protecting. Personally would not be that polite, as it is not his business. Potential family or not. If pressed would respond in the manner of "in case some prevert bothers my grand daughter"

yawn, physics directly relates to how the chamber is cut, the sizing die is being used, and the purpose. It's not just that the rifle is used for another purpose. As you state, rounds are for the rifle chamber. There is a very large difference in how precisely and accurately chambers are/were...

For revolver rounds am preferring a Redding profile crimp. While the LFC can be useful for brass that is inconsistent in length, and is easily adjustable for degrees of crimp, it does not work so well for angled cannelures in traditional lead. As others mentioned, it can also swage down lead...

The process you use can depend on your purpose, your specific firearm(s), the rounds being used and the reloading procedure being used. FL sizing is good practical approach if you want the rounds to function in both rifles. This may depend on the chambers in each one. In 308 a lot can also...

We do not allow that at our range, and all targets must be at the back stop. A bullet leaving the range is extremely dangerous and can get it shut down in short order. Imo, more bullets hit low and skip over the berm, than shooters shooting over the berm. The main problem is when people...

steel for 22 lr, pistol and rifle. Also have stash of silhouettes for up close and personal practice, or indoor range. Paper plates for multiple up close and personal. If needing a site in target, it's usually a piece of paper with filled in painted circle.

There were several excellent comments on "noise", and group shooting. If you are outside of city/town limits, noise and nuisance ordinances may be harder to accommodate than safety over berms and land size. The other is keeping your range personal use only. It's seems more possible to run...

Am 2 hrs away from any store that carries a selection of handloading supplies. 99 % of my supplies are mail ordered. The closest Scheels usually has supplies , and used to stop by when traveling for work. Have seen a larger selection on the mail order sites, but prices have stayed fairly...

The main reason i moved to where i live is a private range within a 5 min drive. Wisconsin has a law grandfathering ranges from public intrusion/nuicancees. Of course there are some exceptions. If not having a lifetime pass, $40/yr for range with separate 22 lr, pistol, 100 yd rifle, shotgun...

i will now

Like my Mark IV's better, but only after replacing the triggers. Just as accurate, and SO much easier to reassemble for this old boy.

Thankfully am living in Wi with excellent self protection laws and liability protections. And anyone who breaks into another's home is subject to these laws.

same, but very occasionally use hand tool for very small batch.

If memory serves this one has a Bowen rear sight and a lot of rounds through it. Trigger broke in quite nicely, and extractor replaced.

longer distances are excellent practice for trigger control and front site concentration. Often surprising to learn the true trajectory of pistols/revolvers.

M24 with replacement sights and grips. One of those most accurate revolvers owned.
