    Is this a good deal? Marlin 357mag lever...

    hey guys, I have an opportunity to purchase a marlin 357 lever action for 885.00 out the door. I already have a nice uberti .45 colt yellow boy but it was dads favorite rifle and I don’t like to shoot it much cause I worry about dinging it up. Bought the wife a .38 special revolver last year as...

    Hey guys, I have begun my search for a good cc holster. At present I have tried a cheepo blackhawk nylon iwb (not horrible but moves around too much). I picked up a desantis cozy partner (it was anything but) and promptly returned it. I am looking at a crossbreed clone from a local company...

    I recently picked up a lyman dial caliper as a backup to my hornady digital caliper, not because I needed it but because I wanted to learn how to read one and to possibly use to double check the digital one. I'm asking because the lyman seems "off" the dial isn't at a 90° and the copper lock...

    Using reloads to proof my CCW, couple questions...

    As stated in the title I'm proofing my CCW (Sig P-938) with my reloads. I got to thinking (I know that's dangerous) that instead of buying 6-7 factory brands to proof this sig I'd just reload some mixed brass with the projectiles I have on hand. I know I should sort by brand but felt it would...

    As stated in the title, I'm new to reloading and need some advice. I have wanted to get into reloading for about a decade but have never really had the space or time for it let alone funds. Recently all that changed and I "pulled the trigger" on a Hornady LNL SS as my first press. I realize...
