    case trim length

    Stubbicat said: My $.02 Trim length can affect the buildup of a carbon ring at the end of the chamber just before the leade portion of the barrel. This carbon ring can constrict passage of the bullet into the rifling both affecting accuracy and creating a pressure problem. First order of...

    Eye and ear protection "recommended"

    All indoor ranges I use and most (but not all) out door ranges do also. I admit that if I am alone at the range shooting match grade .22LR ammo in a rifle I won't wear ear protection, and I am pretty adamment about wearing it. The gun is so quiet that I want to be able to hear if someone...

    Out in the woods ...

    I have some properties in Northern Wisconsin (not my full time residence) where I see black bear tracks very close (within 40 yards) more often than not, and I have found myself closer than 30 yards from a black bear each of the last four summers at some point. I have always carried a 1911 or...

Forget about merit of any other arguments for or against, that alone is reason enough for me to steer clear." In a lot of places around...

    The Ultimate Clip Loader for Mark III .22 cal.

    When they are clean they are incredible. I find that I have to open mine and clean it now and then when it starts hanging up. A tiny bit of silicone spray helps too.

    TSA hand swabs and shooting?

    A couple years ago I had my hand swabbed and it set off all the alarms. Before I left the house that morning I had taken my carry guns, one of which had been fired in the last two days, and put them in the safe. The powder residue on the fire arm(s) is surely what was detected. I work for a...
