http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=290547 This thread jarred a memory from last summer. We had a VERY aggressive group of magazine salesmen (young guys) in the neighborhood. My teenage daughter told me several days earlier that one extremely pushy guy had showed up and refused to leave...

Tale of a Bear Hunt My brother in law (Mantis, here on THR) and I got back last weekend from my sixth and his first bear hunt. Follow the link here for the whole story, and some pictures. I'll paste the text here also. Since I didn't write this for THR, many gun details are omitted. I...

I have the Springfield Armory GI 1911 (and I love it). When I saw no-name mil-surp magazines in Sportsman's Guide for 7 bucks last year, I bought a couple. Here's the thing. They function great as far as feeding shells goes! My problems lies in that I need to depress the mag release in...

A friend of mine just picked up a Collins & Company Machete Model 289. It is most likely a civilian, Civil War era piece. After extensive googling, I can't find this model anywhere. Anyone familiar with this model at all? Thanks.

Some interesting 1911 history here. http://www.wwiiguns.com/display_articles.php?id=10

Hi folks. I just got a box of 300 grain, cast Meister bullets, but am having a hell of a time finding load recipes. My powder of choice is Unique, and according to Alliant's site, 7.2 grains is a suggested load. But upon cross referencing this info with several other web pages, it appears to...

I know this has been discussed on THR before, but since I'm fresh from the range, I'm going to discuss it again. A few years back I bought a 629-2 to carry while bowhunting for bear. Almost before I gave the factory wood grips a chance, I switched them to Pachmeyer Decelerators. I wanted...

Combining two of my hobbies last night while playing around with a new flash setup on my Nikon D70... Let's see your stuff too.

I thought you guys might like to see the .348 (Model 71 Winchester) that we inherited a while back. Used to belong to my wife's grandfather. I posed it along with some original Remington ammo (no longer made) and some vintage red plaid Woolrich. Ahh, the good old days. You can see the gun...

I also posted this question in the Revolver forum. I have an 8" Dan Wesson revolver in .357 that I love. Shoots great, looks great. My problem is that despite the fact that "new" rounds slide into the cylinder nice & easy, once the same rounds are shot, ejection more often than not is a...

I'm not sure if I should be posting in the reloading forum or not, but here goes. I have an 8" Dan Wesson revolver in .357 that I love. Shoots great, looks great. My problem is that despite the fact that "new" rounds slide into the cylinder nice & easy, once the same rounds are shot, ejection...

I have an 8-inch Dan Wesson revolver that, even with the rear sight adjusted all the way to the right, is still hitting 4-6 inches to the left at 20 yards. For a while, I put a red-dot scope on it and yes, it became fabulously accurate. It also uglified an otherwise elegant revolver, so I...

I have a variety of CCW and hunting handguns, but am sorry to report after 5trips to the range that I had to give up on one. A little backstory; I have a couple of .44 mags that I use for hunting, and decided a year ago to buy an Encore pistol in 30-06 for longer range shooting. Sure, the...

Well....I've had pretty good luck on bigger bucks the last few years, and set my goals a little higher each year...But I was happy as heck to arrow a scrubby racked 5 pointer on Sunday night. Here's the story. Back in March, my wife and I scouted a plot of land that has provided us several...

I haven't seen any Taurus 651 range reports up so here's a quickie. I'll post some pictures this evening. I got a Gander Mountain gift card for doing a favor for a friend, and ended up comparing several concealable snubbies and found myself liking the Taurus line the best. The 651 has a 2...

I've been working on sighting in my new used Encore pistol in 30-06 (15 inch barrel topped with a Bushnell Trophy red-dot) and am a little surprised at my findings so far: The gun, for all its beastly power, is not unpleasant to shoot. The size of the stock and the length of the barrel make...

I'm wondering if anyone has any recipes for a lightly loaded 30-06 (preferably with a light 125 or 150 grain bullet) using Unique powder. I've managed to distill all 3 handgun calibers I load for down to Unique powder. Everything from plinking loads to hunting loads. Right now, I've got a...

I finally got around to building a light-box and made a few stabs at studio style photography. Unfortunately the folds in the pillowcase I used for a backdrop are pretty obvious, but I'll try to post some better ones as I get them. Dan Wesson .357 S&W .44 Mag Taurus .22 Colt Python .357

Morning folks. I'm hoping some of you .45 reloaders can help me out. I've been loading .44 mag and.357 / .38 with my Lee turret press with great results. Regarding crimps, I've used the Lee Factory Crimp die for those calibers. I wanted to start reloading .45 ACP's so I picked up another...

Ruger KP 345 Range Report (45 ACP). This is just a preliminary report, but I wanted to post a few thoughts about the new KP 345 from Ruger. With all of the odd sentiments on THR regarding this one, ranging from mild interest to outright distaste, I thought I’d toss my hat into the ring...
