    avoiding ear damage with powerful rifles

    At the range I always use "puffs" and muffs. Hunting I keep a pair of electronic muffs in my backpack and almost always have them on during any shot. It's improved my field shooting as I don't find myself as a fan of muzzle blast.

    Rifle cartridges you dislike for no real reason

    I wouldn't say I totally hate them but I dislike anything Short Magnum and Most magnums, though I do have two custom rifles in .257 Wby Mag and 300 Win Mag. ;)

    Bianchi 111 Cyclone for 629 Mountain Gun?

    I am debating buying a few holsters for my 629 Mountain Gun. I seem to remember some time back this being a popular choice for the Mountain Gun. I am looking at this as a "woods" type of pistol, I have several considerably better options for concealed carry. I am wondering how much slop there is...

    .25-06 reloading inquiry

    This isn't what you are going to want to hear, but you will just have to try it for yourself and see. It could be anywhere from spectacular to minute of barn...

    Voided warranty in Glock?

    Nearly all manufacturers tell you not to shoot reloaded ammo. That's simply a CYA move on their part. Now with a Glock, some say the polygonal rifling they use that can result in a lead build up which contributes to the gun firing slightly out of battery and thus a kaboom.

    Powder for 9mm reloading

    I use Unique. I use Unique for all my 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .38 Special, and mid range .44 Magnum loads. It's a little dirty, but it gives me good results in the above rounds and it's very easy to get at just about any place that sells powders. That way I don't have to keep as many...

    What caliber do you use for IDPA?

    That's why there are multiple classes in the IDPA. You can download the rules and read them yourself HERE. You have SSP (Stock Service Pistol), ESP (Enhanced Service Pistol), and CSP (Custom Service Pistol) for the semi-auto classes. SSP pretty much is what it sounds like a "stock...

    .223 For Deer Hunting

    Will all due respect, this strikes me as one of those cases where paper ballistics are given far more credence than they deserve. By the same token a Remington factory loaded .45-70 using a 405g bullet at 1330 fps has less energy than a .22-250 using a 55g Pointed Soft Point at 3680 fps...

    .357 for Whitetail

    Pumpkinheaver, I have used the same bullet with it's sister powder (WW296) out of a GP100 on feral hogs. It certainly performs far better than it's "paper" ballistics would indicate.

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    .223 For Deer Hunting

    I am not a fan of .22 caliber centerfire rifles for deer hunting. If it were the only option I had then yeah I would use it with the heaviest Barnes TSX it would shoot accurately. Of course the .223 has enough energy to burst the vitals and make a killing shot; however, the problem with...

    Is there any noticeable cost savings in reloading 40S&W vs 45ACP?

    Strangely enough - checking the price of bulk bullets at Midway, the .40 caliber bullets tend to be higher than the .45s. That breaks the general rule that larger caliber and heavier bullets will be more. 165g Winchester TC, $122 for 1000...

    Pit Bulls Break Into Washington Woman's Home and Maul Her

    True about Pit Bulls being the "assault weapons" of the dog world, but even if they weren't pit bulls you have to admit - it's an extremely odd story where two dogs come though a doggie door and attack a woman in her bedroom. Around here - there would have been no "almost had to shoot the dogs"...

    Instructions on how to swap mag release for Sig 229

    Does anyone have the instructions on the correct procedure to swap the magazine release on a Sig 229 for a lefty? I realize some people will say "just use your index finger." Point taken, but I would like to know the procedure to do this so I can try it for myself. I searched the site but I...
