    shooting chart to download

    Does anyone know of a website that I can download one of those shooting charts. It has about 6 different zones. The one I remember seeing had Low Left due to jerking the trigger. I don't remember off the top of my head what the other zones were for. Thanks All, Joe's

    Ruger 10-.17 HMII

    I recently picked up a SS 10-22 chambered in .22 LR. Would like to install a SS H.W. Hart barrel that I also got awhile ago. It is chambered in .17 HMII. On the .17 barrel it is stamped "Use With Heavy Bolt". How do I tell if it already has one and if it doesn't where can I get one. Thanks...

I have been working on prepping around 3,000 Lake City and around 2,000 PMC cases. I will be getting the neccesary parts and plans from JMorris to build a...

    Is Alliant Reloder 7 the same as AA #7?

    I called the gun store and they said it was the same powder. Has me wondering as the container I purchased says it is "smokeless small rifle powder". I'm trying to load 9mm Luger with it. The Hornady 6th addition calls for AA #7. Just wondering if it is the same powder or do I have...

    I bought a UniFlow Powder Measure a couple years back. It's the one with the micrometer adjustment. I've loaded a lot of 9mm and 40 cal.

    Casting undersized .40 cal. in Saeco mold

    Some time ago I bought a Saeco (Redding) .40 cal. mold from Midway. Finally got around to casting with it. It only produces bullets that are mostly .3985 and .399. very few come out at .3995 and hardly any at all are .40. As you can guess they don't size very well in the Saeco (Redding) sizer...

    need Berry's 200 gr. plated FN info:

    Got a box of these from Cabelas the other night. Seemed like a fair price but didn't realize there was such a difference between plated and jacketed as far as powder charges go. None of my loading manuals state how much powder to use. Their website only says to use low to medium charges...

    FC .308 brass

    Today I was given 40 pieces of FC (Federal) .308 brass. 20 had a headstamp marked FC 7.62-M1A. The other 20 had a headstamp marked with FC ME .308. Why the different headstamps? Normal Federal .308 are just stamped .308 WIN. Thanks for your help Joe's
