    Cabela's Sale: S&B Primers for $17.99/brick

    Nice price for primers, not including the $20 HAZMAT fee if you have them shipped. This may be a "one day only" sale. I also noticed that they have added a new function to their primer and powder listings that will let you check availability in their stores, which will come in very handy for...

    Powder/Bullet Combinations for 357 Mag

    I'm about to start reloading for my 4" GP100, so I'm looking for some suggestions on a smooth-shooting powder/bullet combination, based on the powders and primers I already have in stock. I have not yet purchased any bullets, but I plan to go with Xtreme or Berry's plated, possibly 158gr SWC...

    The Kelly File, a news program on the FOX news channel, will be discussing the new CT gun law tonight at 9:00 pm eastern time. Should be interesting!

    Handgun Ownership in North Carolina

    I have a question for anyone familiar with the current North Carolina handgun laws. I understand the concept of the current system regarding a pistol purchase permit and the concealed carry permit, but what is the law regarding handguns purchased prior to becoming a resident of NC? My brother...

    Possible To Prevent Cylinder Drag Marks?

    Is it possible to eliminate or reduce the wear marks on the cylinder of a revolver caused by the pawl, other than never pulling the trigger? I only ask because I just bought my very first wheel gun, a stainless GP100, and the thought of scratching that shiny, new finish is a little unsettling...

    Scope Rings: Aluminum vs Steel

    Given the noticeable difference in weight between aluminum and steel scope rings, what are the advantages of using the steel rings? I would think the additional weight would be a hindrance on a hunting rifle, or do the benefits of steel outweigh the lighter weight aluminum?

    Entry Level O/U for Recreational Clays

    I'm looking for suggestions on a quality, 12 ga entry level o/u, to be used exclusively for shooting clays with a Trius One-Step trap. I would prefer to spend less than $800, and I'm also open to buying a used shotgun. I'm currently using a Beretta Extrema II semi with a 26" barrel, but I...

    Adjusting A Rear Pistol Sight

    I have a Beretta Model 96 that consistently shoots 3-4" to the left (at 25 ft,), even when shooting from a rest. If I were to drift the rear sight to the left, how much would I need to move it, approximately?

    Weatherby Mark V 300 WBY Magnum?

    As I was browsing through my lgs this weekend, I came across a Weatherby Mark V in 300 Weatherby magnum (Japanese version), in what I would classify as very fine to like new condition, a beautifully grained wood stock, and a Weatherby 3-9x scope, for $950. I've never shot a 300 mag of any type...

    S&W 686 or Ruger GP100 for First Revolver?

    I've decided it's time to purchase my very first wheel gun, and based on my research I've narrowed my selection to either the 686 or the GP100. I intend to use it primarily for shooting 38's as a range gun (not a carry weapon) or possibly for home defense with the 357 mag. Unfortunately, I don't...

    Opinions on polymer 9mm Baby Desert Eagle?

    I stopped into my lgs yesterday and noticed they had a few 9mm polymer Baby Desert Eagles on hand for $499. I have never fired one, but it feels comfortable in my hands and the DA trigger pull doesn't feel excessively heavy, in fact, it's very similar to my Beretta PX4. It would be used...

    Problems With My New Kimber Ultra Carry II

    Sorry guys, but I need to vent- Three weeks ago I bought a new Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry II in 9mm. I brought it home, stripped it down for a good cleaning and a fresh application of oil, then headed off to the range. I tried shooting 115gr Remington and Speer Lawman fmj’s, but encountered...

    Anyone load 9mm 115gr ammo for a Kimber Ultra Carry II?

    Last week I bought a new Kimber Ultra Carry II in 9mm, but had a very disappointing trip to the range- 70 out of 80 factory rounds (Remington 115 gr RN) either jammed, stovepiped, or didn't cycle the slide. According to Kimber tech support, the gun will only operate with bullets larger than 124...

    Any Remedies For Bullet Set-Back?

    I am having difficulty attempting to reload .45 ACP using once-fired brass and Nosler 185 gr jhp’s, so I thought I’d seek some help from the extensive knowledge base here on THR. I am having an issue with bullet set-back whenever I rack a round into the chamber of my Ruger SR1911. The OAL is set...
