I have a friend who has a pallet of lead that he has salvaged out of the keel of a wrecked sailboat.
I'm trying to see if I can help him sell it. What would you pay per pound?
I am having a very hard time with safety glasses for my 5 year old daughter. Adult glasses are WAY too big to fit her and be effective with earmuffs on.
What are y'all using for your kids?
This morning I took my 12 year old niece out to the range so that she could shoot a gun for the first time. She is visiting us for a few days with my mom (her grandmother). She would have never got to do this at home, as her mom is incredibly protective and strongly anti-anything “dangerous”...
Man shoots suspected prowler with arrow
KELSO, Wash. – Kelso, Wash., police said a man used his compound bow to interrupt an apparent break-in at a nearby vacant home, wounding a fleeing man in the buttocks. Police said the man grabbed his hunting bow late Sunday night and chased a suspected...
I chrono'd some loads last night to try something new and got a great competion load, standard deviation about 3.2%. I am packing and getting ready to go on a business trip, and find myself being pulled to the reloading machine to work up this new load for the Gator Classic at the end of the...
Folks,
Since the State Troopers are being flooded with requests for Firearms Permits (what MS calls CCW permits), I thought that I would let you know how long it took me to get mine.
I applied about the 15th of December (roughly) and just got it in the mail On Wednesday (the 26th). The...
While lubing my first batch of 9mm for the new gun, I noticed that there were a few .380 ACP and 9x18 cases in the batch. You had to look real close to catch them, since the cases are dimensionally similar. I began to wonder what would happen if the wrong case slipped by.
What happens if...
I have been having an unacceptable squib ratio since I started reloading in March. About 1 every 3000 rounds. Most bullets would clear the barrel no problem.
I began to examine my process very carefully, thinking it was operator error. Then last week I think I discovered the problem. My...
I am looking for a discounted Glock 17 or 19 for my son to start shooting USPSA. I came a across a Police trade in G19 from a Hurricane Katrina affected area. It looked like the gun had not been touched since it was flooded. The gun was in the following condition;
*Generation 1
*original...
I have a 45 ACP 1911 that I’d like to shoot in USPSA. I don’t really care (right now) on whether I shoot major or minor (I reload).
I do not want to shoot in Open Division, and my read on Production division is that “Handguns with external hammers must be fully decocked at the start...
I am trying to seat the bullet at the correct depth for MY gun, a Rock Island Armory Tactical Model 1911 in 45 ACP.
I am currently loading Berry's 185 grain round nose bullet above a charge of 4.7 grains of Clay's with a OAL of 1.2-1.22". I'm reasonably happy with that load. However, in the...
So I am just starting out with USPSA style competition. Today was my 3rd match, and I'm starting to get the hang of it.
Today someone asked me to be the guy who holds the clipboard for a little bit, and I learned how beneficial that job is. You are right there with the RO (but don't need to...
Does the 10 round, 1911 single stack 45 ACP, Chip McCormick Power Mag (thier part number 15150) meet the maximum magazine length requirement in USPSA Appendix of 6.742"
I have inherited a Charles Daly Auto Pointer, which is a Browning Auto 5 clone like the Remington Model 11.
The CD website says they only go back to 1996, and Remington wants my serial number before they give out a manual.
Does anyone have an electronic version they can email me or a paper...
