    Can anything be done to a pitted barrel?

    Hey guys, I've been thinking about a summer project. I've got an old Winchester shotgun, I think it's a model 37. I was thinking it would be a good novelty gun to take to the trap range. Ideally, I'd like to re-finish it to a new-like condition. Due to some cracks I'll probably build new...

    shooting "Scrap"

    Anyone know of the clay game referred to as "scrap"? I've been told it's a combination of skeet and trap, but which way? Skeet targets from the trap stations, or trap targets from the skeet stations? It's very possible that my local range has completely made up this game, all I know is I'm...

    Picked up my first revolver this weekend...

    I went in to pick up reloading supplies for an upcoming hunt, ended up walking out with a Dan Wesson 357. I didn't know much about it at the time of purchase, but I felt I had to have it. Here's what I've been able to figure out so far, please correct me if I'm wrong. It's a model 15 Made...

    Father in Law's broken gun.

    Hey everyone, my wife's dad passed away a few years ago. He wasn't a gun guy, but did have one that he kept in the dresser. It's an old Liberty Mustang 22cal revolver. The gun has a scary light trigger and shoots about a foot hight a 10 yards. I'm not a revolver guy, but I can tell it's miss...

    Article on Bore-Sighting

    Hogs in Minnesota?

    So, I know that hogs cause major issues to whatever environment they populate. But, I'm kinda looking forward to being able to go out anytime of the year and put food on the table. How far north have they migrated and can they survive a Minnesota winter? Have any states put any regulations on...

    SBR Questions

    I'm in Minnesota and from what I can find, SBR's are not legal. Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of these points. I own an AR-15 rifle. I believe I cannot legally remove the stock and replace the barrel with a 10" barrel. Because the receiver does not have "pistol" stamped on it, I...

    Where to sell shed antlers

    Does anyone know where a guy could sell a very nice whitetail shed? I've heard there is pretty good money in good sheds, but am having trouble finding the "circle" where the buyers hang out. Thanks...

    My Dan Wesson Experience

    I've been debating posting this thread for about a month now. Here goes... About a year ago I purchased a DW Bobtail in 10mm. I had some issues out of the box, but expected some break-in time. I won't go into detail about all the issues, but I will say that they didn't work themselves out...

    Look for advice for loading Shogun shells

    I'm a fairly experienced rifle and pistol loader, this weekend I'm inheriting a MEC 650 to start working on trap loads. Any advice some of you seasoned shotgun loaders can offer would be appreciated. I'm pretty sure it won't come with any directions. Recipes are good too...

    Trim Dies

    I'm not a total noob when it comes to reloading, but I don't know what a trim die is for. I assume it's somehow related to trimming brass to length, but can't put together the mechanics of it...Educate me please...

    Shell Catcher for a Beretta 391.

    I just started my second season of league trap. This year I was thinking about reloading my own. The club I shoot at has signs posted that say "Once a shell hits the ground, it belongs to the club". I shoot a Beretta Tekny's AL391. I love the gun but I would like to start saving my hulls...

    Neck Sizing and Lube

    When processing some 22-250 brass this weekend, using an RCBS neck sizing die, I began to wonder if I was wasting my time with lubing the cases. Someone tell me I'm correct and that lubing the case body when only neck sizing is a total waste of calories...

    Competition Dies

    I've been toying with the idea of picking up a set of RCBS Competition Dies for my 204. Are they worth it? What I really want to know is if they do anything to actually increase accuracy. Thanks

    Help needed, still new to reloading for autos

    Hey guys, this weekend I loaded up some rounds for my 10mm 1911. I headed to the range fairly excited, feeling I had done a better job than my last effort. My main question revolves around the amount of crimp to use. I'd read that just enough to remove the "bell" is all that's needed. I...

    Can I shoot +P loads with my Sig P6?

    As the title says, I'm curious if I can shoot +P loads with my Sig P6. Or maybe I should word it "Will I wreck anything by shooting +P loads down my Sig P6"? Thanks...

    Wouldn't it make sense?

    This may not be popular here at THR, but what are the arguments against making all gun transfers go through a NICS check? This would be a hassle for those of us who like to buy and sell from people we know, but it might help keep guns out of the hands of the guys who aren't supposed to have...

    6.8 SPC, How heavy can I go.

    I'm helping a buddy get into re-loading. He has a AR-15 in 6.8 SPC. The twist is 1:10. He wants to use the gun for deer hunting. How heavy can we go with the bullet and still see good stability?

    Prep for Melonite

    I've been shopping around for a new finish for my Sig P6. I'm leaning towards melonite. I'm pretty sure, almost positive, that my melonite source will want the gun stripped. Any suggestions as far as how to remove the factory finish? Thanks

    Converting a 1911 10mm to 40 S&W

    I read a previous post talking about converting a 45 1911 to 10mm. It sounded like a PITA. Does anyone have any experience converting a 10mm 1911 to 40 S&W? Thanks
