Getting tired (or to old and grumpy) of spending 100's of hours of research to buy the best tooth brush. If you had $1000 to spend on a night scope what would you buy? Going to be mounted on a Bushmaster Match .223 AR and I am not concerned with the weight, rifle is already an anchor. Want to be...

This is my first in 40+ years of shooting and admittedly, I'm guilty of poor reloading practices, so please forgo the lectures. I have a .357 Hornady XTP stuck in a 4" Ruger GP100 barrel I can't get out. So far I have tried an aluminum rod (nope,) a brass rod (bent) and an oak dowel (broke...

After wanting one for years I traded for a mid-70’s HP a few months ago and finally made the time to shoot it over the holidays. My intent was to make sure it functioned, clean it and put it back in the safe. Problem is when I attempted to field strip for cleaning the aftermarket thumb safety...

After much researching I'm still unclear. Press in the up position. Seat the die, three turns out. How do you adjust the actual bullet depth? In theory you insert a loaded round, set the die bullet depth adjustment knob to contact the bullet and then proceed loading your empty...

Shooting my Gemtech equiped Bushmaster yesterday for the first time I was using brand new 55 grain FMJ Remington/Federal ammo and after being fired the brass was filthy. I have never seen once-fired brass so covered with black powder residue, the outside of the cartridge case was almost the same...

I'm setting up a Lee Classic Turret and AutoDisk and found Lee does not provide capicity information for Ramshot (TrueBlue) powder. The Lee chart uses a VMD factor to determine disk settings. I have TrueBlue's Bulk Density (grams/liter) 935 but have no idea how to convert this to a disk size. TIA

I'm sure it is buried somewhere on this board but I should be working on my Jeep brakes not on the web. I'm about to order a Lyman tumbler from MidSouth and want to know if I should go with the 2500 size or will the 600/1200 size work? I plan on reloading <500 rounds of .357/.45 pistol cases...

After some internet research I'm seriously considering buying this scope with the Mil Ballistic reticule for my Win Model 70 LR .300 WinMag. I have no personnel experience shooting beyond 200 yards but I would like to eventually reach out and touch 1,000 yard targets. Your inputs would be...

Any rule-of-thumb instructions on how to restore a used scope to factory zero? Is a good starting point midway between full CW and CCW on both elevation and windage? TIA

Hello, I have been looking for a controlled feed model 70 in .375 H&H for over two years. With the recent demise of Winchester prices exceed $1500. I have found a Model 70 Classic in .300 Win Mag for <$400 and I’m wondering if it would be possible/practicable to rebarrel and rechamber in .375...

Does anyone know a retailer who sells powder or primers in this area. None of the local sporting good stores carry reloading supllies. TIA

Would a 3” barrel be significantly less accurate then a 6” barrel from a bench-mounted mechanical holder using a scope and sighted in at 100-yards. For discussion let’s use a .357 Magnum caliber with a 150-grain bullet, I’m sure the difference in velocity would certainly affect the point of aim...

I'm taking a large swathe here but if we can discard the politics, the Iraqi people friend or foe are in my opinion are SOL when it comes to self-defense. Basically I'm talking about armed citizens defending their right to a way of life against a heavily armed and determined military/police...

For years I have read or seen on TV how fun shooting rats at the dump could be. Popping self-erecting targets with no socially redeeming value sounds like a great way to spend a couple hours. Problem is I think it is an urban legend, has anyone actually been somewhere they could shoot rats...

Did a search and didn't find the answer I wanted :rolleyes: I found a rifle on Guns America I've been looking for a couple years. Problem is it is out of state and too far away for a FTF. Asking price is $2000 which is in the ball-park. Question: How should this transaction take place to...

Wishful thinking on my part, maybe a few headlines like this and the gun owning slobs would start picking up after themselves. I just got back from the one public outdoor range in my area and there was garbage everywhere. I always take some garbage bags to clean-up the range before leaving and...

Just bought a .223 12" barrel for my T/C encore. What little I have found on the topic seems to discourage factory/military loads in a short barrel. True??

I have been looking at these for months and finally found one for <$500. This is my first DAO auto and after reading the manual I still have a couple concerns. How safe is this thing with a loaded chamber? With no external safety and a light trigger pull (compared to a revolver) I would be...

How does the forend grip attach to a pistol barrel? The rifle barrel forend I have uses two screws. I was wondering what modifications would be needed to turn a rifle barrel into a pistol barrel. TIA

Has anyone mounted a Holographic sight on a revolver? If so what components and how is it working out. I’m considering one for my GP-100 .357. TIA
