I've got a hunt coming up in a month down in Alabama that my 10 year old son will be coming along. He is not new to hunting or shooting but I am wondering what gun to take for him. I had always thought a .223 would work great for hogs but reading more into it I read alot that it is not ideal...

I'm in the search for a pistol to hunt deer and carry while horseback, mainly I want it to have adjustable sights, minimum 4" barrel and either in 357 mag, 41 Rem Mag or 45 Colt, I'm not really crazy about a 44 mag, considering you can load a 45 Colt pretty near in 44 mag territory I'd just as...

My brother in law and I are planning a hunt out in South Dakota this year. He just can't swing the money for an elk hunt and since neither of us have been we are a bit intimidated by a week in the mountains on our own. Plus we are a bit pressed for time to figure out where to go to apply for...

I'm gonna take a gander that about 1/2 the posters to this will say cost, 1/2 will say quality control. I am an avid quail hunter, hence the name, and every year I would buy two cases of Winchester 1 oz. # 7 1/2 20 gauge shells. Well the last year I di that they were junk, I took dad's 1100...

First off I reload for 4 different calibers, .223 (actual 3 loads there for 2 rifles), .30-30 (1 load 1 rifle), .243 (1 rifle 2 loads) and a 7 mag. My press is the Lee 3 hole turret press. Not the fanciest thing out there but in the accuracy I get out of my loaded rounds I will put it against...

I have been shopping home insurance lately and really none of them offer (as standard, but I can increase) the coverage amounts I need for my firearms. I don't have anything super extravagant, just a bunch of them. Anyway I called the NRA to see what coverage I automatically had as a Life...

For those of you that use a .243 for deer I am wanting to know what you think of an 87 gr. Vmax for use on them? I have worked up a load that shoots like a dream (in fact I dreamed of a group like this at 100 yards and have done it a few times) and I am getting in the 3100-3200 fps at teh...

So what does each do and why would you choose one over the other?

What is a good tight fitting patch? I am using a Montanna extreme jag and I can tell you that the .22 cal-6mm patches from Pro0shot are great in a .22 cal bore but too loose in my .243 whether I wrap the pach on the jag to just push it through.

Are they decent pistols, I know they probably aren'y Springfield or Kimber quality but are they decent enough to actually spend a few bucks on? I found one in a local shop at what I think is a good price and I have heard of RIA but don't know anything about them other than they are made in the...

For those of you who can't find an AR, Shooters Gun shop in Cape Girardeau, MO had a few while I was in there today. Actually I caught them out of the corner of my eye (as I was in a hurry) but I saw they had a few of the Remington versions. I also saw a few of the AR-10 type models (I didn't...

Anybody else load the 40 grain loads in a .223 with good results? I tried them using Nosler's pistol data that tested with a 14" barrel since my AR has a 16" bull barrel (1:9 twist) and I was amazed at how well they shot. I am using 27.5 gr. of H335 with the 40 grain Nosler ballistic tips and...

Anybody ever use this one and what do you think of it? I am wanting a vise, currently I have a crdle I built out of oak that gets the job done but I would like a vise that will hold the gun more steady when mounting a scope. I have kinda had my eye on the Tipton best gun vise but it's $100...

For Christmas this year I got my wife a Kitchenaide 5 quart Artisan mixer, she has always wanted one and she has been fairly wuiet in the past year with a few firearm, reloading equipment and other tool purchases so i figure I'd better keep the peace as best as I can. I see that they also...

I see that for about the last 3 weeks the only AR-15 magazines in stock for 20 or 30 rounds ar the AR Stoner's. Are they junk or something? I've bought several of them and I like them as they are lighter than my other steel mags, seem to feed well and everything too. Just kinda wondering why...

OK, I have a Tikka .243 Laminated stainless. Factory says they do not leave without shooting a 3 shot sub MOA group, whish I would believe, but does anyone know what ammo they are using for their tests? I bought a box of Winchester Super X 100 grain power points (because they were dirt...
