My grandson is going to deer hunt with me this fall. He has short arms and I'm needing to either cut down the existing stock (composite black) or find a beater stock to cut down. Any one have experience doing this? I have heard the composit stocks are not the best to cut down as it can take a...

I have a dozen + reloading books/manuals.....but I thought I'd ask who has worked up 'light' .243 loads for a young hunter. I'd appreciate any thoughts or ideas. I have a Savage 110 with a cheap factory black plastic stock. I'm going to ask my gunsmith buddy to check my grandson's length of...

I noticed a number of you folks use Dillon 650s. Many of us who use the 650 have had an "issue" with the spent primers popping out of the cup and hitting the bench & floor. This fix may be of interest. Here's a link to some pics and descriptive information users of the Dillon 650 can use to...

Does anyone have experience with game-trail cameras? My wife and I want to buy one, but first we thought it best to ask around to see which "flavor(s)" are best liked. Some of our thoughts: +We think a digital camera would be best for us. +We do not know what features are key...

I've been toying with the idea of reloading for this caliber. I've got 2-3 guns and would shoot them more if I had a ready supply of ammo... I have a set of Lyman dies. I have plenty of brass. I have several powders on hand to choose from. I have plenty of primers. I don't have...

I just picked one up...I plan to cary in my front pocket... I's appreciate any suggestions for pocket holsters! Thanks. Bob

I'm seriously considering buying this little .380 for a "pocket gun". I've shot and carried a friend's P3AT and have found it to be an easy carry and at 15 yards I can whack 8" plates with the gun pretty consistantly (I didn't say I liked it's DA trigger). What I'd be interested in is...

I have a box (500) of Rainier 240gr. HP (plated) bullets. On the shelf I have: Blue Dot, Tight Group & 231. I contacted Rainier, the man said to reduce the top-end loads offered in the manuals for JHP of JSP by 10% to find the Rainier top-end load...thus in theory I'd begin 20% below...

I ran the first rounds of 45 Colt through my Dillon this week. I went with Blue Dot powder for this first "batch". Using new Winchester brass...Winchester primers and 10.4 to 10.6 grains of Blue Dot (my progressive varies this much) behind a 250 grain lead round nose w/flat tip bullet...I...

I'm going to be in Vegas next week...I'm not a gambler, but I'd really like to try out a range or two that offers full auto fun! Does anyone have a recomendation or two? I took Front Sight's Sub-machine gun course a few years ago...it was a blast (pun intended)...I'm up for another go at...

Yesterday, four friends came out (including THR's own Kamicosmos) to shoot for a bit. We shot from 2pm---dark. It was a great day...warmed up into the high 50's w/fairly light wind (for most the day). We shot a number of pretty nice guns: AR-50 AR-10 AR-15(s) S&W 500 4" S&W 500 10+"...

From the USAF web site... So, what model S&W is the Staff Sgt. holding? It's supposed to be a 38 Spl...looks like my Model 15-4 http://www.af.mil/media/photodb/web/041203-F-5508G-009.jpg Here's a link to the USAF page with a larger (hi-res) photo(s)...

I am getting more interested in black powder shooting...I have an in-line (CVA Staghorn .50) now and would like to gather a few links for different blackpowder forums. Does anyone have any links they would care to share? Thanks! Bob

A friend let me try his 500 S&W(s) yesterday with some new (to him & me) ammo. He'd just bought a box of Hornaday ammo with that 500 grain bullet. Man alive! I first shot his 8 3/8's" Model 500 (w/a scope) and really had no trouble. I just fired it once...no need to go crazy. His scope...

I'm off to the woods tomorrow with my wifes Super Blackhawk. My hunting load: Primer: CCI 350 LP Mag Powder: H 110 Wt: 23.7 Bullet: 240 Gr. XTP Speed clocked: 1,340 fps avg. (not a fun plinking load) The gun is stock with the exception: Hogue Grips -rubber Wolf Springs & a...

Savage centerfire rifles seem to be about the best value out there for a good shooting "meat gun". I'm pretty happy with the two Savage rifles I own. A Model 110 (a .243 purchased for my son) and a Model 111 FL (my personal lefty 25.06). I've had a replacement trigger installed on my...

Well, it's been long enough...time to have a second (not so annual) "Bob's Bullets & Brats" The first event was pretty darn fun and a LOT of ammunition was sent downrange. It's time to re-charge...the weather is SOOOOO nice...Karli & I have decided to have another "day at the range"...

I'm willing to host a shoot up at my farm/range near Smithville, MO. About 11 miles east of the KCI Airport & a couple miles north of I-435. Please respond with your interest in such a shoot. We can nail down a weekend (Sat or Sun) or an evening shoot(s) after work. I'm set up for...

We will soon have CCW in our county (Missouri) and I decided to try out the Glock 36. It's the first gun I have purchased with CCW in mind. I went with Glock for a simple (in my mind) reason....they go bang when you pull the trigger and do so accurately. I just picked it up today. I've...

I know there are a ton of in-line options out there.... I fell into in-line blackpowder because a buddy gave me a Staghorn his brother-in-law disliked. I'd watched my dad clean his CVA Hawkins design over the years and was NEVER going to get into that type of post-shooting "work". So, I...
