New rifle should be here Friday (Savage 12 lrp in 260, 1 in 8" twist):D, Lapua brass not too far behind. I will be starting out with 140 bergers (not sure which ones yet (suggestions welcome), 140 Hornady ELD-X and A-Max, and Lapua 139 gr. Scenars. Not sure what powders to start off with. Would...

I just picked up 1940 Winchester 70 target rifle in 220 swift. I knew it had an aftermarket trigger but when I removed the trigger guard the trigger was attached to the guard. Does anyone have any idea who made these triggers? It appears to be a very well made trigger. It also has a very small...

I just picked up a stainless Howa 1500 in 6.5x55 with a 1 in 8" twist and 22" barrel. I'm going to use it for some of my deer hunting this year and was wondering what bullets y'all were having good luck with. I am looking for a slight edge toward accuracy and good performance on deer. Any pet...

I have a gentleman that is offering me a trade including a IAI in 30 carbine. Could anyone give me an idea of what this gun is worth? I have not seen it and have no idea of condition or if it has the box or any accesories. Is this any better or worse than the AMT? Any info would be appreciated...

I just picked up a Swedish mauser in 6.5x55. I was working on some loads today and tried some 4064 with pretty good velocity numbers. It has the original 29" barrel and with 38.5 grains of IMR 4064 I'm getting 2550 f.p.s. which I read was the standard factory load velocity for these rifles. I...

I am loading with winchester brass for a CZ 527 in 7.62x39. The winchester brass has large primers. I also have some R-P brass with small primers that I would like to load. Will there be any differences, or will there be any changes that need to be made when switching to the small primer brass...

I'm going to look at a Enfield 2A1 in .308 and was wondering what it would be worth. Is there anything other than the obvious to look for? Don't have any more info to go on right now, but any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Marty

I just got a CZ 527 in .17 rem. Haven't shot it yet but if it proves to be a good shooter then I will begin reloading for it. Had my mind all made up on 25 gr hornady hollow points. Well I got my new Midsouth catalog in the mail and noticed they now have 25 gr V-Max's, so now that is an option...

Can anyone tell me about this ammo? I assume (we all know what happens there!) it was manufactured in 97. If so would it be non corrosive? It is lacqured steel case with a soft point bullet.It appears to be a fairly heavy bullet, maybe 203 gr.? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Marty

Which one would have the advantage as far as accuracy in a hunting rifle load? Thanks, Marty

I'm in need of 100 pieces of 7x57 brass and found PRVI PARTIZAN at Grafs. Has anyone used this brass? How would it compare to Winchester or Remington? Is there anything I need to know about it? Any opinions on it would be appreciated. Thanks, Marty

I got a good deal on some Accurate Arms 2520 powder. I loaded some 30-06 with 44 grains and 175 gr FMJBT. Is this an acceptable load for a garand? I'm using Lake City Match brass. I don't have that powder in the only reloading manual that has Garand info in it. I called Accurate but the guy I...

My son in law is needing an inexpensive deer rifle in 30-06. Which of these two do you feel is the better rifle. I feel like He can't go wrong with the Stevens, so I guess I'm mostly looking for opinions on the Marlin. Any help would be appreciated. The Mossberg might also be a consideration...

As always I am trying to squeeze that last little bit of accuracy out of a couple of my rifles. I'm getting a spread of about 55 f.p.s. on my reloads and I'm thinking I could do a little better with more consistent brass. I've been looking at Lapua and Norma. Norma seems to cost a pretty good...

I'm loading 9mm, 38 spcl, 357, 44 mag and 45 auto with both lead and jacketed bullets and found the most versatile powder to be Unique. I noticed yesterday when shooting light loads with lead bullets out of my 44 that it felt like something dusting my face just a little bit and then noticed some...

O.K. I have two Garands and I need to pick one of them to shoot. One is a pretty much mint 1945 Springfield (RRAD) (Probably unfired since rearsenaled)but not all correct parts with a relieved op-rod. The other is an all correct 2-1944 Springfield (barell is 2-1944 also) with a non relieved...

I've been shooting my camp carbine and 5906 smith recently and noticed that the pistol was way cleaner than the carbine. I'm shooting reloads with 6 grains of unique and 115gr remington HPs. Factory PMC 115 FMJ chrono'd at 1224 fps and my reloads were 1294 fps. I've heard that the spring needed...

I just picked up a Marlin camp carbine in 9mm and I am looking for a good clean powder to reload for it. I will be using this load in a S&W 5906 pistol also so I need something that will work in both guns. Also has anyone tried cast bullets in the marlin microgroove or am I better off sticking...

I've been looking to buy a spotting scope. I need to keep it $500 or less. I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Nikon earth & sky. My question is, whether to get the 15-45x60 or the 20-60x80. There is about $200 difference in the two with the 15-45 at about $244 and the 20-60 at about $453...
