A few months ago I posted a question asking for ideas to help an acquaintance deal with her son being shot. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=533653 The son is continuing to recover, and has since gotten married. It took 3 months, but the shooter was eventually charged with...

I have read lots of good press about the Gold Dot .38+P 135 gr short barrel for use in snubbies. I recently picked up some Win .38+P 130 gr PDX1 and decided it was time to test them. Lacking ballistic gelatin, I used newsprint soaked about 20 hrs, then drained of excess water. The box was a...

I know, this is not a forum for legal advice....but I would appreciate ideas of things that may be done, avenues that might be pursued. Acquaintance's son ("Jimmy") was involved in a 3-way love triangle (mistake 1). While she was at the house, she stole jewelry from the mother, enough to...

I bought a used mini-14 from the family of a friend, mid-late 1980s manufacture. I have not shot it much so far. Yesterday I shot it some, and I noticed that the bolt was making contact at the end of travel. It was not hitting hard by any means, just enough enough to feel it with the cheek...

Yesterday after a range visit, and cleaning and reassembly, I noticed that when I let the slide go to battery, in addition to chambering a round, the second round was also partially stripped. The only way I noticed is that after chambering the round I dropped the magazine to add a round...

I have never reloaded brass cases before (although I have loaded shotgun for years), and the opportunity has arisen to do so. I have inherited an old Lyman press. I also have access to some Dillon dies. I checked the dies, and the threads seem to match the press, and I can thread them in to...

I have the opportunity to purchase an FN made Browning Auto 5, light 12, 1965 vintage, as far as I can tell. I cannot see any marks on the barrel to indicate the choke, at least that I recognize as such. Apart from measuring with a caliper, which I don't have, is there a way to determine the...

I recently came into possession of my grandfather's Sako .244 Remington. It looks almost new. I am interested in working up a load for it (it came with press and dies) and I would prefer to use a 100 gr for flexibility for deer hunting in addition to target practice. I read that the 1 in...

I am considering a defensive/possibly carry gun. Since I am relatively new to hand guns, and could spend months reading the forums (I have already spent a lot of time), I thought I would ask this question to speed the process. What is the most reliable .45 acp OUT OF THE BOX? I’m not...
