Jumping into the world of 17AH. If I use an extended shell holder, will I be able to use a 17 Fireball neck bushing die with the correct size bushing to size the necks of the 17AH? Will there be problems due to the difference in should angle and body diameter? I have the 22 to 20/20 to 17...

I hunt with an inline and shoot BP shot shells in SASS but this is my first time out with cap and ball. I decided this year at one of the clubs I shoot at I wanted to shoot Frontiersman. The quest started last October and ended today on my first range trip. I acquired a Spencer Carbine in 45...

Question on the effects of brass being two short. The normal 45 colt case max length is 1.285, with a trim length of 1.275. Hornady 45 colt leverevolution bullets are loaded with a 225 gr FTX that requires the cases to be trimmed to 1.215. I reload 45 colt for CAS on a hornady L-N-L AP using...

I have been reloading brass shotshells for CAS by hand. When doing this I glue in my overshot card. I have seen some old brass shotshells that are roll crimped. I would like to put a small amount of roll crimp on the shells to make them load easier, I would still glue in my overshot card...

I have an H&R sportster in 17hm2, can it be re-chambered to 17 hornet? The the bullet diameters are the same and the barrel is the heavy barrel, same as they use for the 17HMR. The only issue I can see would be relocating or cutting down the ejector. Has anyone done this?

Well the Command I work for is being BRAC'd from VA to Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD next year. The commute is too far to do every day so I have to make a choice either move with the command or find a new job. If I move my choices would be to move up in that area in MD or move to PA just over...

Maybe someone can help me out, I have been looking but with no avail. I have a savage 24 that the poa and poi are not the same for the 2 barrels, shocking I know. I am looking for something like the flip up express sights on older double rifles that can be mounted on the weaver rails or just...

Not sure if this would go in hunting or BP Shooting. After missing out on a couple of deer last season while using my bow during muzzle loader season I bit the bullet and bought an encore endeavor. I will be using loose power instead of pellets and my question is about which bullet to use. I...

I have a late model Savage 24F in 30-30/12 with the synthetic stocks and want to put wood ones on. Will other savage model 24 stocks fit (besides the .410 models) and/or will the stocks off a model 94 shotgun fit? thanks Jim

Does Lil'Gun meter correctly in a Lee auto disk powder measure? thanks

Has anyone had any experience with the remington 799. I am thinking of getting one in 22 hornet. They are made by zastava for remington and previously for charles daly.

Currently I want to begin to reload. Right now I will be only reloading 1 caliber, .220 swift. I am looking at 4 presses right now, the Lee challenger kit/aniversary kit (basically the same thing with different priming systems [hand vs press]), the Lee delux turret kit, the lee classic turret...

Growing up I learned to shoot and hunt from my Grandfather and my uncle. My uncle would tell a story of the time he took a deer with his 220 swift. He shot it in the eye and it did a complete flip. Now the story was told on occasions when the family got together and it kinda had a legendary...

Does the ruger blackhawk and super blackhawk take the same size grip? I just recieved a 44mag super blackhawk and it has a mono pach on it and I wanted to put it back to the original wood grips. There was 3 sets with it and none of them fit. They all come just short of the bottom of the grip...

Does anyone have any experience with a polychoke II. I picked one up to put on a mossberg 500 that will be doing double duty as a deer and turkey gun. I installed the tube and then removed the outer sleeve to make sure the inside were clean and had a light coat of oil. Now for the dumb...

Maybe some one with a bit more knowledge of the 45-series of cartridges can help me out. I have read that the .45-90 and .45-70 are identical except for the case length and the .45-70 can be fired out of a rifle chambered in .45-90. Are all the shells similar enough in regards to tapir and...

Got a question on what is involved in opening the chokes on a SxS. I have set of barrels that are choked mod and full and I would like to have them opened up to IC and SK. What is involved in this process. If the barrels are chrome lined do they need to be re-lined? Is there any modification...

Anyone have an opinions on the Weatherby Athena D'Italia? Seem to have good reviews. thanks Jim

I am looking at a browning citori upland special in 20 gauge. Anyone have one or ever used one? It looks like it is a predecessor to the superlights and superlight feathers. thanks Jim

After the post on my last thread asking about gauge reducers here is the follow-up. Well I ordered a pair of the Chamber Mates in 16 to 28 gauge for the doublegun shop. I received them on Friday and had them on the wobble trap range on Saturday. The set came with some grease, bag of extra...
