    Paper shells

    From Wikipedia: "Starting from the early 1960s to the late 1970s, plastic hulls started replacing paper hulls for the majority of shotgun shells and by the early 1980s, plastic hulls had become universally adopted." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun_shell

    How Often To Remove Trigger Group on 870?

    If you've never done it, take it out and see how much crud is in there. Figure out how many rounds or trips to the field it took to generate that much crud, and clean accordingly. As others have stated, I too was a bit surprised by how much powder and gunk built up in there.

    Getting comfortable with buying a gun I can't inspect in person

    Back when I was selling things on the online sites I included a large number of very high quality photographs, and it was still not uncommon for people to ask for additional pics, measurements, or some other thing. I dind't mind doing it, the exra photos only helped out if someone else came...

    What is your highest power hunting scope?

    Highest power scope on any of my centerfire rifles is 3x9. It covers what I need covered and has put almost 100 whitetail in the freezer over the years. It stays on 3x until I need more. On my Benjamin Marauder PCP gun I have a 4-16x scope, which is perfect for zooming in on squirrel heads...

    30-30 Iron Sights

    In thick timber, the light can be so low in the last 30 minutes (or first 30 minutes) of legal light that you won't be able to see your front sight post. Add an overcast day to that mix and you could be robbed of even more time. Low light, dark vegetation, dark animal, bad combo. With a scope...

    Ammo Availability

    In Feb I tried to buy small pistol primers. None were available locally, and after days of searching online I was about to pull the trigger on a South American brand I'd never heard of, and that had very mixed reviews in terms of reliability. I figured if there were some duds in the mix it...

    So Everytown Just Published a Map for all US FFL

    While I find the database unnecessary, and an attempt at intimidation, it doesn't worry me from a theft standpoint. I imagine that criminals will continue to get the vast majority of their guns by breaking into cars, where many people leave them. It happens every single day in this city, heck...

    Groundhogs in yard

    I have a similar problem, and poison is one of the methods I'm using in an attempt to control these vermin. One thing that bugs me though, is that I can't tell if I'm making any progress, I never see any dead bodies. Do they come up to die when you poison them? Or do they stay in the ground...

    Gaps in the Firearms Market

    Even if there are no commercially viable gaps, each year, a firearm or ammo manufacturer will try to create a gap so they can sell into it. And if there's something you want that's not profitable for a major company to make, there's custom shops. Anything is available for the right price.

    Kydex wearing on your finish?

    Helpful. Thanks.

    Kydex wearing on your finish?

    :rofl: Absolutely not looking for your opinion on what you think others should think about wear on a pistol. That finish protects bare metal from rust...which is very important in my environment.

    Your Gun Cleaning Routines

    Sometimes fun, sometimes relaxing, sometimes a chore. Sometimes I clean after the range, sometimes I don't. If I got rained on a bunch while shooting or hunting, it's more of a chore simply because I have to do so much more of a thorough job getting to everything that got wet.

    Kydex wearing on your finish?

    For those who carry in a kydex holster (and practice drawing from one as your routine), how much wear has there been on the finish of your gun? I ask because I have a new gun that's got a small bit of finish missing from the slide. The manufacturer has offered to refinish it for me, but I...

    Primer issue

    Thanks. This was brass that got collected as I picked up my empties at the range. Learn something new every day.

    Primer issue

    Have you ever seen a sizing/decapper leave a primer like this? The primer wasn't fully punched out, which jammed my press, and it looks like the decapper tried to push through the primer, and actually pushed out the dent left by the firing pin. PRIMER by s s, on Flickr PRIMER-2 by s s, on...

    Question for the .41 Mag fans

    This stuff is all about "want" rather than "need". There are so many rifle and pistol calibers in the world that at this point most exist so people have something to argue about. I have a 41 mag in my lineup because I think it's cool, I like reloading for it, and I like shooting it. Pretty...

    Have you ever found someone in your hunting spot?

    Around here private landowners will frequently have people trespassing, poaching, stealing, and vandalizing. You'll find their boot tracks coming across the property line, sometimes you'll observe them from a stand while you're hunting, other times you bump into them while out moving around...

    Hornady customer service

    I've had a Hornady LNL AP for a number of years, I can't even remember when I got it, but it's been years. Today I broke a pawl and the machine is out of order until I get a new one. I called Hornady and they answered quickly. I explained that I'm a heavy handed caveman and that I broke it...

    Armed bystander intervenes

    This happened a few nights ago. A woman is leaving a store, when she tries to enter her vehicle, three perps that are parked next to her try to kidnap her and leave with her and the vehicle. An armed bystander heard her screams, intervened, and saved her from a terrible situation. There's a...
