Thought I would post a few pics of my new pistol. Went to the range yesterday and put 200 flawless rounds downrange. Fusion is a great new company. See link in signature line for a Fusion thread.

Can anyone help me out with my choice to buy this gun. What are the positive and negatives. I just had my first year hunting duck and goose and I am anxious to get my own gun. I borrowed a Remington 870 but I want to buy something I can grow into and also keep for years. Please feel free to...

On a recent trip to Ely, Minnesota(almost at the Canadian border) I saw this "pot/bucket" out behind a friends garage in a junk heap. I asked him the history and all he knew was that his Dad had bought several when the munitions plant in the area closed down in the seventies. They were somehow...

Anyone care to recommend a book on Rifles, loads, and deer hunting or any combination of these topics. I recently purchased a Rem 700xcr and would like to get the best, in someone's opinion, book I can use as a reference for the above stated needs. I have a 25% off coupon at B&N that is...

:neener: Couldn't resist could you. Well I just got one of those small leather bags that you put under the butt of a rifle to help steady it. I have been told to put sand in it. What kind? Beach sand. Anything else that works well. I only want to fill it once. What kind of fill should I use?

After asking for help to pick a new and first rifle I went ahead and got a Remington 700 XCR in .270. Got it for a great price on GB. Now I need to put some optics on it. Keep in mind I have no experience in this area. My hunting will range from Northern Minnesota(fairly dense cover) to...

I am contemplating getting my first rifle for deer hunting. I do not know much about them but have been picking up things here and there on the forums. I would like something I can also shoot for accurate plinking in the off season. Maybe throw in a pig or two on trips to Texas. I am...

I am considering getting either a Remington 700 LTR .308 or a Remington 700 XCR 270 win. They will be used for deer hunting, pigs, and general plinking in the off season. I already have a Leupold Rifleman scope I plan to mount on it. I know nothing about rings and bases so this is where my...

I am considering buying a chronograph to help develop my handloads. I certainly don't need the best but don't want something I will want to upgrade either. I have done searches here and on the web. I would like to here what you folks have to say. Can you share your experiences and give me a...

I recently picked up a Uberti Cattleman. Along with it I bought some .45 colt dies, titegroup powder(the very knowledgable salesman suggested Clays but they were out), some 200g lasercast RNFP bullets, starline brass, and Winchester large primers. I checked three manuals and decided on a load...

Seems I should know this but I don't. I have a DPMS Sweet Sixteen .223 AR. I am wondering if I can buy a .308 upper to use on the lower. Are these interchangable? Seems it would be a nice way to have both calibers with one gun. Thanks in advance. :confused: I know, I know the safety...

After waiting a fair amount of time my Com3 holster from HBE Leatherworks arrived. It is everything I hoped it would be. The craftsmanship is unbelievable. I will let the pics speak for me. I can hardly wait to get another. Thanks Eric. If you get one of these holsters you will not be...

I am just getting started in reloading, in fact everything is set up and today I will load my first rounds. My question is: Has anyone developed an Excel spreadsheet that tracks cost, round data or something similar. If so would you be willing to share it. Thanks, if not what kind of data do...

So I have saved a pickle bucket or two of brass consisting of 6 or 7 calibers. I have all my reloading equipmenet ready to go. I have been hand sorting for a couple of hours and it occured to me that their MAY be an easier way to do this. Anyone got any suggestions? Even the smallest one will...

I have now assembled my tools for reloading. I know I will have many questions but here are the first, please bear with me. my questions are universal but just in case I will be loading pistol rounds. Do I need to clean out the primer pockets with a brush or will they clean out during...

Hi all, I am starting to put together the items I need to begin reloading and handloading. My first purchase was the Speer Manual 13, which I plan to go through tonite. I have been picking up parts here and there on Ebay and the online forums. I have run across an easy question. What is the...

What would be considered the quintissential Cowboy Gun? Pics of guns and holsters welcome. :D

I have a starlite gun case and want to redo the foam on the inside. Starlite and their outlets want 40 bucks for new foam. Anyone know of a place to just order the closed cell foam and I can just cut it to shape? Thanks:confused: :confused:

I would like to get into reloading. I love researching on forums and the net but with such a wealth of information it appears to me to be overwhelming. Are these kits that they sell at Cabelas a good place to start. Is it better to hand pick the tools of the trade. Can anyone suggest a...
