    How many different calibers?

    This is generally a concern of mine as well. One irony I'm finding is having multiple rifles in the same caliber doesn't seem to help with logistics as much as I'd hoped. In fact it might make it more difficult. They each have have different loads, so I wind up either adjusting my dies or...

    TSA opened my gun case

    I've only traveled flown with guns once. Was home visiting relatives and my grandfather unexpectedly gave me 2 long-guns and an air-pistol. I bought a cheapie case and a 4pk of keyed-alike padlocks. No issues at all. Simply declared the case at the counter and TSA examined the contents. I...

    Wife's/Young Son's First Elk Rifle?

    I'm going to say 260 Remington or 7mm-08 Remington. I personally used a 270 WSM last year and will again this year. Just because I haven't found a factory 260 Remington load that shoots well in my Remington 700 titanium. I think the 260 Remington is enough though. I only mention 7mm-08...

    Great new cutting edge idea from Ruger...

    Here in Colorado, it's legal to hunt with a suppressor. A 30-caliber suppressor may add 8" to the overall length of the rifle. Suddenly a round that gets the performance a 26" barrel in just 20" sounds very appealing. Mike

    Target Rifle

    1:9" twist 223 sure wouldn't be a bad place to start. I had a 26" 1:9" twist Remington 700P in 223 a few years ago. Just didn't balance well and really felt like a pig. Lately I've been shooting a Remington 700P LTR rebarreled in 22BR. 22" bbl, 1:8" twist Lilja. 75gr Hornady A-MAX...

    Pistol- caliber carbines

    My Olympic K9GL shoots the Buffalo Bore 115gr +P+ @ ~1600fps. ~650 ft/lbs of energy and nowhere NEAR the noise of an AR-15. Mike

    New J-Frame Problems

    My brand-new 642 did something similar. Took it to the range and it wouldn't actually fire. Confused the heck out of me. Ran it all the way around the cylinder about 3 or 4 times and it finally started hitting primers. It's worked great ever since. :scrutiny: Mike

    Are Mid-Sized Guns Too Much of a Compromise?

    I really like the way the G19 fits my hand, but I shoot my G34 better. Mike

    1911 in 9mm?

    I tend to shoot mostly 9mm for fun / competition. I really like my Springfield 1911 9mm for steel matches. I initially tried a CZ-75B, then a Browning Hi-Power Practical in 9mm. Nothing particularly wrong with them. Lately though, I find myself shooting a Glock 34 more than anything...

    The Marlin 39 Club

    Who makes a nice takedown rifle case? Maybe something along the lines of the Marlin Papoose case.

    Purchase New or Reload

    I'm already setup with a Dillon RL550B. I've also got a Dillon Super 1050, but I'm waiting to set it up in my new reloading room. I spent about 4hrs last weekend loading up 1200rds of 9mm. I figure: $.035 - once-fired brass $.01 - roll-sizing $.03 - primer $.01 - powder $.07 - 124gr...

    Need Help Picking A .38

    I have 2 Model 67's and a Model 64. For just general-purpose, do-everything, fun-to-shoot the Model 67 wins.

    7/08 Recoil

    I'd 2nd the 260 Remington. It's an amazing cartridge and plenty for deer. Mike
