What is the recoil like on these things? I love my M1's, and I've liked the M1A's, recoil isn't an issue with either. But, then, they are a lot heavier. I've never fired an AR10 type rifle. I really like the idea of this rifle, but I don't want something that beats me up or has the muzzle...

I've hunted all my life, but have always used permanent tree stands. Now I'm thinking about getting a climbing stand, but am a little hesitant. I've watched the videos and examined a few, and am pretty certain I understand how they work, but one thing keeps coming to mind- if the universe...

I've not seen this before. Happened today while trying out a new load in a 1917. specs are 51grs H4350, 175gr SMKs, CCI 200 primers, LC case. Not a hot load by any means. These bullets had been pulled (as gently as was possible) using an RCBS collet puller a day or two before. I will note...

The Lee manual I've got and the Hodgdon site don't list any. Does anyone have published information for Varget and 150gr bullets?

I'd ordered it back before Christmas during the sale and it arrived this week. I finally got it cleaned up last night (no pics yet), and I have to say, they have really, really, stepped up their game. I have two Piettas, brass Navy and Remington, that I bought back around '03. Let me tell...

I know its been asked, and yes, I found some old answers in the search box. But I'd rather be safe than sorry, so I'm going to go ahead and ask what's been asked before. Who knows, maybe a recent purchaser has had a new and different experience with chamber size and what all. I'm pretty...

When did they switch over from the original (as I understand it) squareback to the round trigger guard?

I'm thinking about getting one. What are the pro's and cons of the different models, Whitneyville through 3rd? I understand they made improvements each time, but I have no idea what they are from model to model. Thanks.

What size groups should I be expecting from this gun? I'm not going to break the bank trying to dial it in with the perfect load, but I don't want to sell her short, either.

What lubrication do you apply to these, and in which of the two grooves? http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product_info.php?products_id=1363

I've decided to get the Cabela's Kentucky flintlock rifle. This will be my first flint (I've plenty of experience with percussion guns, usually with conicals). I was hoping you guys might point me in the right direction on a few things. 1) What flints (size, type) should I purchase? 2)...

I've never used this stuff before. When you spray it on, it leaves a white film--you leave this on, right?

Is there any reason that I shouldn't disassemble the slide and clean the firing pin? Anything tricky to it, or something I need to be aware of? I'm used to doing it with my 1911's, but have never done it with a Sig, and want to make sure there are no special considerations I need to know...

I have a 1851(.44 cal) and '58, and am looking at maybe getting a Dragoon. I have no experience with them. So, how do they compare to the ones I have? Any characteristics that I'd like over the '51? And what model to get? Thanks in advance.

Anybody have one, or fired one? How do you like it? I'm thinking about getting one, and just wondered what everyone's experience with them is.

I haven't been loading for pistols long, and am hoping for a little guidance (I've done rifle ammo for a while now). How many times should I expect to be able to re-use brass for loads of this type? And what should I be looking for in terms of brass wearing out, and needing to be replaced...

On one of my 1911's, some sparks are escaping the rear of the slide upon firing. Is this a problem? I'm inclined to think that the loads are just a hair too light, and the brass isn't completely sealing the chamber, but I'm looking for some input from the 1911 gurus.

This question really just relates to heavy and slow pistols, like .45 Colt. In terms of wounding, does a jacketed hollow point provide real benefits over lead bullets? I got to thinking the other day, and realized that I had always just assumed that JHP's were better than lead. But it was...

Anyone using it? I'm relatively new to reloading (about 18 months), and this is my first .38 Super, a RIA with the fully supported chamber. I picked some n105 up a while back, and it shoots well. With Starline brass and 124jhp's, my chrony is reading a little over 1,400fps, about starting...
