I was just looking around at entry level .223 bolt action rifles hoping to find one in 1/10 or 1/12 twist rate. I was thinking about a prairie dog gun that I would use shooting 40-55 grain varmint bullets. The slowest twist I found is 1/9. I know I could get a 22-250 with a 1/12 twist but I have...

I worked up a load using shooters world tactical rifle powder for 223 Remington. I am using mixed brass and the extreme spread is not bad, less than 70. I changed lots of powder and velocity dropped over 100fps. I had to increase the charge by .8 grains to get the velocity back up in the range I...

Getting ready to load 6mm Creedmoor for a Ruger Precision rifle. I want to neck size after the first firing of the brass. I have never use the Hornady match grade dies that use the brushing to set the neck tension. It says it is a full length sizing die. Can I back it off and just use it for...

I have a loaded round stuck in a shell holder because the primer is not seated all the way. It looks like it is seated only about 1/3 to 1/2 the way in. Anyone have ideas on how to get it out?

My son just got a Ruger American chambered in 30-06. Picked up the cheapest box of 150gr soft points we could find to try it out and also to get the brass (PPU) for reloading. Had it dead on in 5 shots and it shoots 2” groups, really happy with the way it shoots. I have some 110 gr Hornady...

I am loading 44 Mag for a Rossi R92 carbine. I am using H110 with CCI mag primers with 240gr. Hornady XTP and 240gr Nosler hollow points. I cannot get either one to group better than factory rounds and I am not sure why. I have worked up loads from 23gr. to 24gr. with no noticeable differences...

This year Indiana is allowing the 40 S&W to be used for deer hunting along with the 10mm Auto. Is the 40 S&W really powerful enough to take a deer humanely? http://www.eregulations.com/indiana/hunting/deer/ See the section on handguns. "A new state law also legalizes a handgun that fires...

Get the kids and let's go hunting. Let's see some pictures of some successful hunts.

I am looking a getting an 8" gong for pistol shooting. I am looking at the AR500 round steel plates that are 3/8" thick. I understand when they are free swinging they are good for any pistol caliber and rifle cartridges under .30 caliber at 100yds. What is a safe minimum distance to shoot them...

This is really just a survey to see if anyone has ever had a case in which published load data, using the published components, feel was too hot and was possibly over pressure in their gun. I am only talking about loads that were made using the same bullet, powder and COL as published. The only...

I have been thanking about buying an AR and being a big fan of Ruger guns, I have been looking at the Ruger AR- 556. I would like to other THR member's opinions on it. The price is right and it appears to have all the right specs as far as I know but again I really don't know a lot about AR rifles.

Lets see who will be there, I know I will. I have been looking forward to it every since I left Nashville.

I am seeing that the EO states that it will eliminate gun purchases online without background checks. Where online are guns being sold without background checks? Doesn't Gun Broker and others require the the gun be shipped to a FFL for the transfer?

My dues are coming up and I see that they will be going up March 1. Right now there is a deal to join as a life member at half price ($500). With life member dues increase from $1000 to $1500 I would expect this deal to come back around for $750, I could save $250 if I did it now. Is it worth it...

I am thinking about making some homemade wood ladder stands to put up on some state property. The nice metal purchased ones are targets for theft but the wood ones are left alone. Hate to put $100 in a stand to go back and find it is gone. Anyone have pictures of some that they have made...

What do you do to save money reloading? I have heard of home made case lube and home made case cleaners. Other supplies or tools that are not sold or labeled primary as only for reloading but for other purposes. What do you use?

Picked up some brass at a public range and came across these .380 cases with a big bulge like the .40 Glocks have. .40 Glock is on the left, .380s on the right. What gun could this be coming from?

This should help the .22 ammo shortage. It was announced early last month that a new ammo manufacturer is opening in southern Indiana. Supposedly the first line to be operational will be a .22 cal line...

What good 22 autos are there for concealed carry?

I am wanting to load some 44 Mag plated bullets for a carbine rifle. I have some Berry's plated bullets that are rated for a max 1250 fps. I have H110 for the XTP loads I use. I know the bullets will most likely be traveling out of the rifle at greater than 1250 fps even with a reduced load for...
