    Squib. Aluminum rod or gunsmith?

    Take the gun apart, find a brass rod of some kinda and a small hammer. Place the rod or punch on the bullet and lightly tap it out. It should not take much force to remove. I've done it at ranges with cleaning rods. On .22lr's usually you can just push them out of the barrel with a cleaning...

    I’m Scared (.22 Price)

    I have been selling off a bunch of my excess ammo. I figure in a year the prices will come back down and I can buy it all back.

    SxS Doubles tough to shoot well

    Skeet shoot with it for a month. I have shot all kinds of shotguns while a properly fit one is awesome if you only use one thats not and learn the gun you can do well with it. You can usually find older doubles for around the 500$ mark. The only real restriction on them is that you do not...

    Every round thru case gauge?

    I usually check one in 10 when using my turret press. As long as the loader feels normal I usually assume all are going to be the same.

    Colt Frame welded?

    It almost looks like someone brazed it to reface the face of the frame. That would be my guess, or there was one really stuck sight they had to heat with in an inch of its life to remove.

    Any desire to trade brass

    7mm RUM and 35 Remmington is the only stuff I am short on. (I'm not super short but could always use more) I have lots of 357/38. I would have to look to see what else I have out in my box of stuff. I might have a few 50 beowolf cases but probably no more then a couple. I will have to check...

    Repairing ripped out chunk of wood from beech stock

    There are plenty of videos on youtube of how to fix this. I would find a similar piece of wood cut out a piece slightly larger and flatten that area then epoxy the piece on. If you are worried about it flaking off the old timey fix was to pre drill some holes slightly smaller then a small...

    Entry level Over Under

    You should be able to find a used Browning Citori for what a new gun would cost. I had one I shot weekly for acouple of years with no problems. If you are looking for a new one I would suggest Stoeger. They are decently made thought they are produced overseas. Another option would be a...

    Will my SKS do the trick?

    7.62x39 is about on par with 30-30 energy wise. The only concern I would have is ammunition. I suggest finding some US made Soft point ammo. The Russian loaded hollow points are notorious for failing to function properly. Or you could always alternate fmj and soft points not sure if there are...

    Seated 223 above canalure

    The only issue I see is that the bullets my either seat deeper or move forward when chambered due to the lack of crimp. I am not sure what kind of rifle you are shooting. I usually try to lee factory crimp all my rounds either in the cannalure or just on the round itself if they don't have one...

    Ammo valuation for a trade

    I went to a gun show end of last month they were selling 22 lr's rounds for 25 cents a piece in ziploc baggies out of a bulk box. The highest I got for it was 21 cents through and auction. I probably netted 18 cents around. I sold off a bunch of Ammo I bought at an estate sale back in March...

    Handloading help!

    I got tired of that issue with my scales so I bought a Digital one. I have the MTM 750 grain scale I got it from Academy sports. It has worked pretty well.

    Wrinkled Case

    I had a few 9mm and 45 auto cases do that when I first started reloading. It doesn't always blow the wrinkles back out. The real question is whether it will chamber or not. If you do shoot it I would suggest loading it lighter to avoid any pressure issues from the smaller inside volume.

    New! Hornady Bore Driver FTX

    I think your best bet is to find a 45 caliber all copper round and some Sabots. I have some older Hornady sabots with 45caliber hollow points rounds. I figured I'd use the sabots with some of my medium hardness hand casted 240grn 45 Acp bullets and save the better ones for my Ruger.
