My favorite gun is a Remington 700 Light Tactical Rifle. It has a 20" 1:9 twist fluted barrel, a Remington 40X trigger and a target stock. So far I have put about a thousand rounds of regular pressure ammo, factory and reloads through it. Where I do most of my shooting, the range is limited...

I shoot a lot at a range that has a max range of 107 yards. I have been experimenting with "mid-range" loads that are adequate for that range. It started with 45-46-50 gr. jacketed bullets over a light charge of faster powder. I first tried 5-6 grs. Red dot. The charge was adequate but my...

Someone just gifted me a 5 lb. jug of Ball C. I have a large stash of Hornady 2267Bs that I would like to work up an accurate range load for. The 2267Bs are Hornady FMJ BT in 55 gr. I will be shooting them in a Rem 700 light tactical rifle with 20" barrel and 1:9 twist, and maybe in my Handi...

Two weeks ago, I was in Michigan for an army reunion. During cocktail hour on the opening day, I was talking to a retired Col who was a platoon leader when I was in the unit in VN. He got around to telling me a tale about a GI 1911A1 he owned. He bought it in a rod and gun club in Germany...

Yesterday I found two 1917 Enfields at a local pawn shop. Both had been hopelessly "sportizered". but both had the original stocks, cut down and butchered, but the buttstocks appeared unaltered. However one was 1.25 inches shorter than the other. Both had the original issue metal...

My standard hunting load (woods) is a 165 cast bullet over 30 grs. H4895 at just over 1,900 fps.. The load will shoot through an whitetail deer end to end and exit. Even 200 pound feral pigs will not capture this cast bullet. Finally, I shot a critter with where the bullets did not completely...

I am going to start loading rifle calibers on dillon 550s. I have been reloading a variety of cartridges on a Rockchucker for decades. Including .223 that I shoot through ARs. Dillon thinks I need a small base resizing die for reloading AR .223 ammo. Why can't I stick my RCBS full length...

New every day carry. Made up by a local leather guy for left front pocket carry. I am right handed but this is a backup if my right hand gets overly engaged or it comes up empty. The knife is a $20 CRKT I bought at Lowes. The flashlight is a one cell CR123 Streamlight that puts out lots of...

Someone who usually has impeccable insider info in the shooting industry told me it was Redding. Anyone heard this?

Someone with better military firearms credentials than mine, recently posited that NO 1911s were brought back from The Pacific or Europe during WWII, as well as any other small arms. The only 1911s that could have seen combat, and brought back, were guns stolen by GIs and brought back or...

Royal Range (former Regal Cinema) in Nashville. There are posted on each entrance: Caliber restriction on their indoor ranges? NOTHING larger that a 50 cal Browning. They have one for rent. Age restrictions? Discretion of range officer on duty. They are also building a...

A friend just made up a wildcat based on .38 special brass. It is necked down to .30 cal. A barrel from a Remington 700 in 30-06 was stubbed into the chamber end of a 20 gauge H&R Topper. The complete rifle in the bottom is the end result. The case is reloaded in 7.65 Tokarev dies. I...

As of Thursday 26 Feb, H&R was officially shut down.

Does anyone have an RC(range certified) Vanguard? I am going to buy a .308 Vanguard for shooting cast bullets only. They have a 24 inch bbl with 1:12 rifling. A couple of members in my club have vanguards that are incredibly accurate out of the box. Weatherby now offers a deluxe S2 called...

I have run out of Unique and 2400. I found a pound of HS 6 and intend to load it under 125 gr. JHPs I have found data in Hodgedon's manual but have no experience with it. Anyone used this powder in .357 Mag before? I have been loading 1680 under 180 gr. SSPs when rolling hunting loads in...

I bought a used Topper 30-30. The barrel is drilled and tapped for 3 screws to fasten the mount on. It appears that two of the holes are boogered out and mount screws are only actually engaging one hole. I plan to drill out the holes and re-tap to 8-40. What size drill bit do I need for...

When David Gregory interviewed Wayne LaPierre, he held up a 30 round AR mag to make a point. Only problem is, that this interview took place in DC, which has some of the most stringent gun control laws in the country and specifically prohibits 30 round 'ammunition feeding devices'. Anyone...

I just installed a Truglo TG8380 on a 7600P in .308. It was easy to sight in and appears to be a lot of red dot for the money. It and the rifle are more accurate than the owner. Does anyone have experience with this dot? I am also curious to see how long the battery lasts...

I have a chance to score a couple of jugs of H-335 at a great price. This is the go-to powder for legions of .223 shooters. Loads are listed for light(up to 150 gr) bullets in 30-30, 308 and 30-06. Lyman also lists a couple of loads for cast gas check bulleds in .30 cal. Anyone have...
