    25 Cal Enthusiasts

    First centerfire rifle I got was a Savage 99 in 250-3000 Savage. I still own that rifle & love it. I have had 243's & own a 6.5 Swed but I sold the 243's simply because I could do everything I wanted with the 250 that the 243 would do, if I needed faster rounds I'd go to a different caliber, If...

    Son needs help on science project

    My son is trying to find what medias would work in a vibratory brass cleaner besides the normal walnut & corncob media. The main idea is to see if their are other materials you could use & what would the results be. The rules are it has to be a dry media & not cause harm to the Lyman machine (my...

    Lyman Case trimmer - need new cutter head

    I've worn out a cutter on a Lyman trimmer, it takes A WHOLE LOTTA TRIMMING on the same diameter cases. Ours was worn out on 30 cal cases over many years of use ( trimming 4 or 5000 308 military cases didn't help either lol). You can get new heads thru Lyman & I believe places like midway too.

    Looking for a 1903A3.

    I've got a National Ordinance 03-A3 that shoots almost as well as my Springfield 03, biggest problem is the rear sight on the National Ordinance A3 is not adjustable (is not the M-1 carbine style) here is a link to one on Gunbroker minus the rear sight...

    The perfect pocket gun

    I like mine, 380acp, 5rnd mag, fits in back pocket of jeans or in front pocket of jean jacket, most importantly is I can hit what I want with it. I know it ain't pretty but hey, I've never really cared about looks lol.

    Take III - Which NON-.308 "full-sized battle rifle" caliber poll thread

    Had to pick the 250 Sav since it was listed. Great little cartridge, accurate, low recoil & if you can hit what you want every time it's alot better than a cannon you can't hit anything with.

    25.06 vs. .257 Roberts

    If you want accuracy & efficency in a 25 try the 250 Sav, great little cartridge. If recoil is an issue, out of the 2 you are looking at go with the roberts, if a little more recoil is ok & you want the farther shots go with the 06.

    mini 14 not accurate

    My mini-4 is a stainless model made in 1985 isn't to bad on accuracy. With a cheap golden antler 3x9 on a b-square mount my 10 yr old can hit the ram at 500 meters 4 times out of 5 off the bench. Granted it takes him a few rounds to figure the hold over since the Mini isn't sighted in at that...

    New idea for North American Arms

    no points for this; can anyone spot what is incorrect about the picture? 2 different rounds in the foreground & is that a dummy round in the trigger guard? Mine has a flat cylinder release lever (for lack of a better term lol) Last thing, was it ever made in nickle?

    S&W .32 long ctg

    Had to go check mine, it's a 32 Colt Police positive, shoots the same Cartridge but different maker. My 9yr old likes to shoot it since the smaller frame & grip fits him better that the m&P S&W in 38 spl.

    Oh holy cow I just did the dumbest thing I've ever done.

    Does this count... I misplaced a Lyman 257312 double cavity mould, found a Lyman 257418 mould on Ebay & while it was in the last 10 minutes found a single cavity Lyman 257312 mould & bid on it. I won both auctions so I got both moulds then a week after the new moulds arrived I found the original...

    looking for youth gun suggestions

    Look into a Savage 99 in either 300 Sav or a newer one in 308. I've never personally shot the 308 cal on but the 300 Sav or even a 303 Sav can be shot quite accurately by my 12 yr old son with full power loads, it's a fairley light rifle & the 300 will send a 180gr slug down range at 2400fps and...

    Does old brass go bad?

    I still reload original 43 Spanish cases with berdan primers & pyrodex, 1 or 2 crack occasonally. My "match" loads for the 1903 springfield my 9 yr old shoots are headstamps S L 43, haven't split 1 yet. On the other hand I've split 223 brass from the late 80's on the second reload.
