i believe i have found my answer, thanks

So I'm stuck trying to decide between something like an aimpoint or eotech and a 1.x-4x scope like the trijicon tr21 and wanted to get the opinion of some other shooters. Part of the fun of shooting for me is really tight groups and I'm tempted to get something like the tr21 so I can shoot...

So I have this old EIG derringer The grips were starting to rotate so I took them off (and wow was that a job, I don't know if they glued the screw into the plastic or what but I never thought it'd come off). Inside the grips there are something like 4-6 small raised pegs that serve to...

I have an older 870P thats starting to look a little worse for wear these days. I believe its actually an old police training gun and then I've shot it plenty myself. It of course functions fine but I wouldn't mind it looking a little nicer again. Its even had a little light rust over the...

Probably like a lot of gun owners, I bought my first holster without knowing much about them. I wound up with the common uncle mikes. I eventually found out how poor a holster it was. The generic size meant the gun pushed too deeply into the holster keeping me from getting a proper full firing...

So I think the signs of overpressure are a bit voodoo like anyway but does anyone believe they can be read in steps? Does flattening happen before cratering for example? Or can it just be either or? makes me ask, I think its time I learn more about it :D

I usually wind up at a 25 yard indoor range for my shooting but do get to play around sometimes at longer distances. Yesterday I was shooting my ar with irons at about 120 yards and realized how unexciting I find it to be able to see the target well enough to make groups, especially knowing the...

So I'm trying to decide how to zero a 16" gun with a troy rear sight and fixed fsb that I plan to shoot both 75gr tap and 55gr plinkers out of. Any advice on which to actually set the zero with and how it will effect shooting the other? I'm leaning toward zeroing with the 75gr loads and then...

I have my grandfathers old colt woodsman but one of the grips and the screw have apparently been lost to time somewhere. Does anyone know what the most economical option is to get the gun shooting again? Someplace I can buy 1 side of the wood set or maybe a plastic set? Here is what I have...

County says no to concealed carry law By Joseph Witthaus Centralia Sentinel Carlyle - The question of whether or not concealed carry legislation should be placed on the November ballot in Clinton County was discussed for several minutes by the Clinton County Board Monday evening. In an...

So I've always read how great the lyman manual is and picked up a copy of the new one. I don't know, I almost feel like the data from the powder manufacturers seems more thorough, not to mention free. .223 is reasonable. I would have liked to see them use the regular 75gr hornady instead...

So after doing some batches of .223 I can't help but notice that seating boat tail bullets take a lot less care than flat base bullets. I wind up setting the flat base on the case and sort of holding it on for the ride into the die to be sure it seats without falling off. Is this just how it...

I don't want to make this a really huge write up or be one of those people that posts pages of email transcripts but I wanted to share my recent experience with Anvil Arms. I frequently praise and recommend vendors who have served me well and I feel like Anvil Arms has joined the ranks of my...

I've been using my compact reloading setup for a while now and thought I'd post about it in a little more detail to help anyone who might be wondering if they can get reloading cheap or with very little space available. Everything but my scale and puller fits in a 50 cal ammo can (components...

So I'm looking at new career options and relocation and I think Portland and Seattle are my 2 top picks. Both have my kind of climate and sound like interesting places to live. Which wins for the best city for a shooter? Both states have shall issue concealed carry so that isn't too much of...

:D I'm wanting to learn a little more about working up to max loads. Lets say you make a bunch of loads with charge increasing in .2 increments and take them to the range to test for signs of over pressure. You of course realize that not all rounds need to be fired and signs of excess...

I've had several people that I've considered shooting mentors and each has taught me their own way style of shooting, including shooting from a rested position. I'm starting to shoot at longer ranges and want to remove myself as a variable as much as possible and test more of the accuracy of...

So I really started doing my first work on reloading today and came away with a few questions. Whats the general feeling on chamfering the inside/outside of both pistol and revolver brass? I've read several opinions but few that agree. Right now I'm inclined to go with the people that say...

So I'm just getting started and have tried to work up some loads from several sources and think I've got them down but I'd feel better having some experienced eyes go over them before I start putting powder into brass. :D 1st load: .38 special 148gr remington cast wadcutters with Bullyseye...

I'm wanting to finish my cheap reloading setup and it doesn't look like the lee autodisk is made to be bench mountable so I'm thinking about just using some dippers and a trickler. How much of a hassle is it to make some loads like this? Will the lee dipper set and a trickler allow me to get...
