I just moved to Pa., and have finally got permission to do a little shooting(hunting) around the house. (Groundhogs) What have y'all determined to be the effective range of the .17 M II and the .17 HMR. The area I am in is kinda populated, so I figure a smaller calibre should be better, noise...

Gentlemen: What is your take on the Colt King Cobra? I never shot one, but am looking at a used one. I suppose that I am a S & W kinda guy. Thanks for your help.

I have had an Encore for about 6 years and only have the 50 Cal. barrel for it. I am thinking of purchasing a 45/70 barrel for it. How accurate are the T/C barrels, or should I buy an after market one?

Went to my "local" gunshop this morning with the intention to purchase a 20 ga. shotgun. I wanted a double, either s/s or o/u. They had the Mossberg's and Brownings, and a Franchi, and a Beretta. I have had two Brownings in the past, and am not all that much of a fan. I did like the Franchi, but...

I am thinking of buying a rifle in .17 Rem. Fireball. Does anyone have one of the new Remington's in that calibre? How easy is it to reload. I load for "buco" number of calibres, and was wondering about this one. :confused:

After waiting about six months, as they had stated, I finally received my new Cooper, Model 22, Phoenix, in 6.5 x .284. What a gun. I slowly broke it in, as they suggested, and after firing about 40 rounds, I ended up with a group of .314" and one at .186", using 142 gr. Sierra Match King...

Back in May, I asked for help in reforming .284 rem. Brass to 6.5x.284 brass. I had ordered a Cooper Model 22 Phoenix and had found a great price on new .284 Brass. Anyway, "Ol'Joe", "redneck2" and "esheato" gave me some advice, and last weekend I finally got around to working on some brass...

Someone, a while back, had a post about making fancy rifle slings. But apparently he is pre-occupied. Where Can I find a Good, workable and rather nice looking sling for a great looking rifle?

I am in the process of getting "things" ready for the ARRIVAL OF MY NEW 65.-.284 Cooper. I am purchasing some new .284 brass and was wondering about the steps necessary to form 6.5-.284 brass from it. I have reloaded for a number of years, so I have most of what I shall probably need. Any Help?

Let me preface this by stating that I have been shooting and cleaning guns for over 50 years. Having said that, I saw a small demo.on the "American Rifleman" TV show, I believe, about some new gun cleaning products from Birchwood Casey. They were in spray cans. One was a bore cleaner, that...

I went rabbit hunting yesterday. Started to snow about 0500 hrs., and by 0730, it was laying on the ground pretty good; 1 to 3" and still coming down. Kinda wet, but it felt great to be out and about. I had my new Mossberg, 28 ga.,O/U. It performed well. I fact, I am delighted with it. I was...

I am a "Ruger No.1" kinda guy. I have taken a great deal of pride in working up MOA loads for each of them . But I have suddenly got an urge to buy a Cooper Rifle. Are they worth the cost and are they as good as they claim?

:) I am a Ruger Kinda Guy, rifle wise. I love No.1's, but I have a Browning 1885 in .22 Hornet. A great shooter. Anyway I was at a gunshop in Roanoke and they had a new Winchester Catalog for 2006. They are offering the 1885 in several additional calibres this coming year. Does anyone have any...

I bought a Ruger Mk II in the Target grey VT model. Great shooting gun. Deadly on groundhogs at 150 yds. I am still in the process of breaking it in, but I have to start to reload soon. Is anyone reloading for it. With the Hornady 32 gr. bullets, my Ohler Chronograph shows 4090 FPS out of the...

It's that time again. Do I want a Ruger Mk. II in .204 Ruger(SS-V Model), or a Savage Model 12 in SS and Syn stock, a Winchester Stealth in .223 WSSM, or maybe a Cooper in 222 Rem.? I have heard that the no.1's in .204 are a little finicky. So maybe the Ruger or Savage SS bolt action. The new...

Was at one of my "local" gunshops the other day(Actually 50 miles north in Stuart's Draft). While there, I saw a Savage 411 on the wall. Asked to have a look at it. Didn't feel all that bad. The stock was certtainly nothing to brag on, being a rather plain piece of wood, but the gun felt rather...

Don't really know the reasons, but as of late(past two to three years) I have had an aversion to purchasing any foreign made guns. This includes rifles,shotguns, and handguns. I am really not zenophobic, but I just want to 'Buy American'. At gun shows, and the local shops, I'll look at some of...

I just bought a new Remington Classic in .221 Remington Fireball. I have the new Sierra and Hogdgon's manuals, but I would like some infor on using Lil'Gun in the Fireball. Does anyone use that powder?

EAA Double Rifel Saw a post, the other day, not really sure where, about the EAA Double Rifle. They call it the 221, or something like that. Anyway I went on thier site and asked if you could load it with Ruger No.1 strength ammo. They said NO. So a double rifle with Trapdoor strength loads, is...

If I purchase a new Win. in 300 WSM and handload for it, what powders do I want to ujse for accuracy. It will only be an occasional deer hunting gun. Is this round too much for just paper punching?
