If you'd asked me a couple weeks ago, I would have said Sporting Clays. I got out this weekend and shot some trap for the first time in years (don't ask me how many because it makes me feel old), and I had a hell of a time. So now favorite shotgun sport? Any one that has the gun thumping...

So, basically a semi-auto version of: http://world.guns.ru/grenade/gl27-e.htm

I got 20 boxes of 16 in #6s for $4.25 at sportsmans warehouse a year ago. With as little as I've been shooting that's about ten years of shells.

I've never bothered with trying to retime a gun myself. The last time I had a timing issue I took it to a local gunsmith that specializes in work on single shot revolvers (for the CAS/SASS scene) and for $50 got a trigger job, had it retimed, and had some spring work done on it. I don't...

If you've got a steady hand, you can: 1) Square off the top as it will make the next step easier, and rough up the top edge. 2) Get a piece of steel about the same thickness as the current site. Square off the bottem. 3) With a good eye and a good steady hand, use some high temp...

On the order of chronographing Swiss the following is from a year ago. 38 grains of Swiss 3F in a once fired unsized Black Hills headstamp .45 LC case under a 250 grain Lasercast RNFP bullet with a Federal Large rifle primer: Shot at 12% relative humidity, 107 Degrees F, 3850 ft...

+1 to anything by Marlin and in .30-30 win and up. Local Gander Mountain has a beautiful used .45-70 guide gun with a tag for $375 on it. If I hadn't been set on buying a single six I would have bought it.

There are airguns, and there are airguns. The little .177 and .22 guns you can buy in sporting good stores are in no way up to taking most coons. High velocity airguns, such as the ones offered by Airforce Airguns pretty much balistically duplicate .22 some of the lower velociy .22 LR...

I loaded some roundball over felt and Pyrodex P. Not a bad load, but I obviously got something wrong as the accuracy was pretty horrid. I probably should have taper crimped the cases. How I did do it, was load it up with black, drop a couple felt wads under, and then press the ball on...

I use pyrodex almost exclusively. I have a can of Goex that I tried for a couple guns but no matter what I did I couldn't get the groups, nor the velocity that I wanted with Goex. Additionaly here in CO where its hot and dry, Pyrodex seemed to produce less, softer fouling than Goex did...

Depends on the rifling IMHO. If its very shallow, and the corners aren't sharp the LEE REAL mould doesn't seem to work very well. Crisp deep rifling though, the bullet has phenomel accuracy and performance. I've not seen a musket that it work in as well as the original Minie. They...

An Uberti 1873 Cattleman with the Bird's Head Grip. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/taralon_phoenix/1873_Cattleman.jpg

I've always wondered about that whole "shave a ring" thing off. Yes, for best perfomance the ball should be larger than the cylinder bore (and the cylinder bore should be a few thous larger than the barrel bore). Still you get the better accuracy if you don't shave a ring of lead. Cone the...

What I find amusing about the whole NCIS check is this. Supposedly my name is on the list with the Aviation people as a possible terrorist. I got searched, extra searched, extra extra searched on every flight that I was on for 3 years. Yet when I go to buy a gun, I've never got anything other...

Pyrodex IMHO does burn cleaner. Why do I say this? I've shot both current major varieties of 'real black' and pyrodex both with cartridge guns and with my .45 caliber muzzleloader. 50 shots of either Goex 3F or Swiss 2.5 F or whatever they are calling it this week with TC borebutter...

Eh, spend $30 bucks and get one of those CO2 dischargers with the attachment for a flintlock. Get a buddy to work the charger while you hold the rifle. Works a heck of a lot better than the 'trickle powder in' method. Bought one a while back after I had to pull a ball on a load that...

There was a .50 that sold on gunbroker a while back for $500...

I've a few rocklocks, one rifle a couple pistols and am looking to pick up a few more 'target' pistols to try a hand with. Rocklocks are where the fun really starts. They seperates the men from the boys so to speak. Learn to shoot a flinter with 3-5 grains of powder flashing in that...

My brother just got out of the Army and I put this question to him. His response was, train them. Any training that they go in with means less !#$# that they have to put up with from Drill Instructors. My brother said he got a lot less crap after they'd been to the range since he was able...

Richard: The regulations are a bit more than that. From http://wildlife.state.co.us/NR/rdonlyres/3F234E0F-9A7E-4E36-9263-7DE1CE74B424/0/index_information.pdf : 3. Muzzleloading Rifles & Smoothbore Muskets a. In-line muzzleloaders are Legal b. Must be single-barrel that fires a...
