    TW200 instead of an ATV

    I've been told that the Yamaha TW200 is a great trail bike. While it cannot haul the cargo like an ATV, the Yamaha is street legal. Street legal appeals as there are many areas in Washington State where ATV's are not allowed. I've read reviews by riders who are not hunters ... I would really...

    Browning Auto 5 and light target loads

    The friction ring is now set properly for lighter loads. The following link made the task simple. I am posting in case someone else is faced with the same problem. Now, I cannot wait to hit the range and try the light loads, again. Thanks everyone...

    Browning Auto 5 and light target loads

    Thanks. Lots of reading is leading me to some ideas ... This G model Belgian shotgun is standard weight, I've read that most standard weight A5's struggle to cycle a light load. That being the case, I'll clean it thoroughly, check all of the settings, try the light loads and try a heavier load...

    Browning Auto 5 and light target loads

    I am a rifle and handgun guy. Lots I do not know about shotguns ... so please pardon the question. I shot my uncle's Auto 5 today (a WWII Marine, he passed away last year). I was using factory Winchester Light Target loads. The 1960 production Browning (2 3/4 in) would not auto eject the...

    Browning Auto 5 questions

    It does not say Light 12 on the left side of the receiver. Where do I find a manual for a standard weight (although I suspect there is little, if any difference in maintenance)? Also, this 1960 shotgun will handle steel shoT or should I buy another barrel?

    Browning Auto 5 questions

    I have a Browning Auto 5 with serial number 0M78XXX. From my review on Brownings site, I believe this shotgun was made in 1960 and it is a standard weight gun. When I search the Browning site, I find Auto 5 manuals for the Auto-5 Light and the Auto-5 Magnum. My shotgun is not a magnum, so, I am...

    Understanding bullet weight and twist

    I understand that heavier (longer) bullets require more twist to stabilize, however, why do my faster twist barrels (1/7) struggle to group a lighter (shorter) bullet? It sems to me that a faster twist barrel should stabilze and group a shorter bullet equally well, provded that muzzle velocity...

    Understanding bullet weight and twist

    I have two AR15's. One is a target rifle, the other I use to hunt coyotes. Both have a 1 in 7 twist barrel. The faster twist barrels do not group lighter bullets as well as they do heavier bullets (55 gr versus anything north of 70 gr). Can someone guide me to a good resource to understand the...

    Is the RRA NM 2-stage trigger worth it?

    The difference between the RRA NM trigger and the standard trigger is significant. I shot competitively for years and I much prefer a light, smooth trigger and I am willing to sacrifice some durability. I shoot my AR's at the range and I hunt with them. One a Colt and the other a RRA. The...

    Making progress on my .223 reloads! Pics inside.

    Exposure ... I find your thread interesting. I've used 4064 in my hunting loads for a long while (30 calibers). I've had good luck provided I did my part. Recently, I built a carbine length AR chambered for .223 as a coyote rifle. I've been using a 55gr Sierra GameKing bullets and 4064. I can...

    Sierra Match King in an AR - jamming

    Update ... I've sized three fired cases making certain that the press noticeably cams over. I then seated three bullets. I placed the three dummy loads into the magazine and worked the action. All three went into battery and then ejected properly. I believe the problem was truly the sizing of...

    Sierra Match King in an AR - jamming

    I will work up dummy loads with different bullets to see if they feed correctly. And, I will work up dummy loads with the BlitzKing bullets just to see how they seat into chamber. Thanks for the help ... Ill let you know what I learn ... maybe someone else will also benefit from my endeavors.

    Sierra Match King in an AR - jamming

    I am hand-loading a 55 gr. Sierra BlitzKing for my AR 15. I have sized the case and the load according to my Sierra manual. The manual has a COAL of 2.250" and I have seated bullet a tad deeper to COAL of 2.200" (I did this as 55 gr. Remington FMJ factory loads ran great ... this is their COAL)...

    Wards Hercules Model SD10B

    I am hoping to track down some basic information on this shotgun. I have other firearms in the safe for my use, however, this old shotgun holds sentimental value to me. It belonged to my grandfather who passed along to my dad. I believe it is a Steven's made shotgun likely mail-ordered. In...
