Ok so I started off making 50 rounds. First time I ever loaded .380. OAL .970 3.0 gr Titegroup 93 gr LRN (messured several diameters =.355) Using the Lee seatng die I put an ever so slight crimp to prevent the round being jammed down into the case during the operation of the pistol. I...

Anyone know where to look up manufacture dates for S&W revolvers? From the limited research I have done about my 10-5 round butt w/ 4" barrel I believe it was made in the 60's sometime. Also I have heard from some people that there was some sort of time period before which modern...

I'm going on a Russian Boar hunt this week. Anyone think 7mm Mag is overkill? I plan on taking a 30-30 as well??

Need some advice.... I have a Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter in .44 Mag w/ a Luepold 2x pistol scope mounted on it with the Ruger facory rings. Everything is screwed down tight; scope is not moving around or anything. That being said I am new to handgun hunting and shooting with a...

I'm sure this has been debated off the map around, the moon, through the woods, and all the way to grandmother's house on this forum, so I'm just going to quickly give my opinion. I'm not a real big dude. 5'7", short but stout, and basically sexier than anyone you know; however, finding a...

I want to buy and older model Armi San Marco 1858 Remington "Buffalo" style reproduction. This is the bras frame version w/ a 12" barrel & target sites. Problem is that they guy admits the thing needs new nipples, and I am not fond of the idea of having to look for them, or play a trial and...

Found this article on Lew Rockwell.... Although it is laced with opinions that would lead you to believe we should all be scared, there may be some actual scary stuff involved.... Basically if you cut out the rhetoric.... A man who has not yet committed a crime is made into a criminal by his...

I am the happy recipient of a Pietta 1851 Confederate Navy. I purchased this from Cabela's on sale for $119 with an additional $20 off coupon, making this a $99 gun before taxes and shipping. Basically it ended up being $114 to get this thing on my front porch. Cabela's also threw in a...

I'm sure anyone not doing this for the first time understands, but holy cow. Nobody carries this stuff anymore. Bass Pro had spaces for .451 round ball, but it all gone. People kind of look at you weird when you ask for anything related to black powder. I ended up picking up a few things and...

I received a Heritage Rough Rider for Christmas. I got the standard 6.5" w/ fixed sights. It has the standard blued finish as well. First impressions of the gun was that it is obviously not and S&W, Ruger, or even a Taurus quality firearm; however, there is some hidden neat factor in the fact...

Bought a Taurus 85 Ultra-Lite used. In near perfect condition and barely ever shot. Surprisingly the trigger is not that bad; however, it might be nice to make better, and lighten it up a bit. Wolff sells a spring kit for this, but their seems to be mixed results. Some people claim...

I had some Speer Lawman TMJ RN loaded in my LCP while at the range recently. My little sister was shooting for the first time. One of these rounds was thicker than the rest at the base of the bullet(where the case meets the bullet?? I am not a reloader so I am a little ignorant. Basically what...

Many people are (have been) complaining about cracked frames on Berretta Tomcats. I have heard so many negative things (post purchase), I am curious if there are any success stories out there. Anybody out there with 1,000 plus rounds w/ no cracks? Anyone just love this firearm? I...

Have a Berretta 3032 Tomcat that has never been fired. Trying to figure out when it was manufactured. There seems to be proofs on Italian manufactured firearms, but I assume mine was made in the USA. It has the extended safety lever so it is a newer model. Serial number begins in DAA

There are a few counties in Virginia that have a fire arms season starting Oct 1. Any handgun is considered a rifle. You are allowed to kill with a rifle in a caliber larger than .243. Button Bucks are perfectly legal. They are considered antlerless deer in the state of Virginia. I'm pretty...

So I was able to kill 2 deer in a short period of time. I had no time to reload my .50 cal inline after the first one went down so I took the second deer down with a head shot from my CZ75BD Police using a Hornaday Critical Defense load. I really had to concentrate on the shot because...

So I decided I wanted to be able to get in the woods during bow season here in Virginia. So, I found myself in need with the lack of a compound bow or crossbow. I figured by the beginning of September I really did not have a lot of time to become proficient with a compound, or learn enough...

I have not found much good info on the net about removing the extractor on a CZ 75 series pistol. I think it is a very simple operation, but for someone who doesn't do a lot of smithing there is a little to worry about. Had an SKS that did not work and was able to fix the trigger with a...

I think I have found the culprit, and it is not springs ammo or cleanlines. Went to the range again today, and had another FTE. Every time this happens the slide stays back so the good thing is you get to see what happened. I keep noticing how the case being extracted hangs up on the next round...

Ok... I understand why people put flashlights on pistols, sort of. So you can see in the dark while sporting your gun. I have seen flashlights on M-4's in real life situations, and they can be quite useful, but I have never actually seen a flashlight on a pistol in a actual tactical...
