Hi all, I have a question about what you consider "acceptable" accuracy in 9mm pistols. Without naming names, I have a couple (major brands, no sub-compacts like an LC9 or Keltec), and I do wonder, how well am I doing, and how well do the guns shoot? So for your "typical" self defense...

Somehow I managed to watch youtube and *not* get on the wrong side of it. Found these couple of videos of some underwater shooting, filmed at very high speed. The first one is better I think because the guy explains the science behind it. The second one is more entertainment, but still...

Background: I wanted a new spotting scope for use at the range. Until recently, my spotting scope was a 20-60x Bushnell that works alright. By "alright" I meant that at 50 yards I could always see holes in paper, and at 100 yards I could easily see large holes in paper on a bright day. My...

I have some question about drifting the rear sight on a pre-transfer bar Ruger Single Six. A friend of mine was given one of these guns by her father who owned it for a long time. She was getting very frustrated because she couldn't hit the target, and yesterday I helped her by shooting off a...

Hey all, I'm looking for a start for a silhouette load for my GP100 6" revolver. I've never shot this particular competition before, but it looks like a lot of fun and really appeals to my inner hunter. Does anyone have any good suggestions for starting powder/load and bullets?

This is just because the pictures are cool. :) Yeah, I'm an adult, and I still like to play cowboy. :D

Hi, I have some questions about stainless steel media and tumbling brass. From looking at MidwayUSA's site, it looks like there is at least one review that says it gets stuck in the primer pocket or flash hole of 223/5.56 brass. I'm thinking of taking the uh plunge :p into wet tumbling some...

There seems to be an issue cycling 3" mag shells through my 870 Express. It's an older model, probably from the late 80's or 90's, but it is the magnum version. The problem appears to be when I cycle 3" mag shells when unloading. Basically, they seem to "stick" when going into the chamber...

General Mills attempted to anonymously fund a "gun summit" for Minneapolis. Minnesota open records laws make that difficult, and it was documented in this news article. To be certain, I will no longer be a General Mills brand customer...

I'm looking for some suggestions, preferably with your stories of success for a new reloading project. The rifle is a CZ 527 Varmint (1:9 twist) in .223/5.56 (manufacturer says this is fine). The general purpose of the gun will be target/recreational shooting out to 300 yards. Maybe take that...

What's up with 308 brass availability? I remember the shortages back in 2009, but then there was a large competing military order. Are the panic buyers really buying up millions of 308 brass? Just wondering if someone out there knows more than me...

Hi all, wondering if there are any CZ 527 owners that have one of these in 223. If you do, which model? Specifically, I'm looking at the Varmint with the 1:9 twist, as well as the very nice looking Lux and Full Stock version that happen to have the 1:12 twist. The mission is 99% target/range...

Hi all, Spoke with Ruger customer service today about my 357. I've been having some minor trouble developing velocity much past 1250 fps (published data for a 158 grain bullet goes up to ~1500 fps for a pistol with H110). Anyways, I called them and spoke with a customer service rep and...

Hello fellow reloaders, Question for the community: does anyone have a particular bullet/powder combo for a 357 that is high velocity and relatively speaking, frangible? There is a specific application: every year, in early November, I try to attend an annual pumpkin shoot (happens after...

Hi all, picked up a new SS GP100 in 357 with the 6" barrel. Haven't done much with it, just a couple hundred mags and a couple hundred 38's for practice, trying to lean DA shooting, etc. After lurking for a while and going through the search function, thus reading many posts about the GP100, I...
