    Inexpensive O/U

    It has been long enough that prices paid are not relevant, but my first real trap gun was - still is - a Remington 1100TA. I also still have the Broadway I traded a seldom shot Superposed 20 for. It was well used and after a few seasons of doubles, I sent it to Arnold MO to be tightened up. A...

    PPC Loads for 38 Special and 357 Magnum (Target Level)

    All I can contribute is that 3.2 gr W231 is in the low 700s with HBWC. I think you are really lobbing those BBWC from magnum brass.

    Would it make any sense to do this?

    30 inch. Iron sights? A smidgen more velocity? There is an additional charge for lengths longer than 26". Which is why I have a 28" Kreiger. They charge extra for 30".

    Glock 17L Gen5 MOS

    So if yours are trouble free, what are the irons backing up? One friend has gone all optic, no iron sights on his pistols.

    Small Game Hunting With Centerfire Cartridges

    Old time hunters would stay in the woods a good while and live off the land. Small game loads for your big game rifle were a regular subject of the hunting and fishing magazines. Col. Townsend Whelen was a strong proponent. He used jacketed bullets so as to not have to deal with lead on...

    Glock 17L Gen5 MOS

    Pardon me for protruding, but my only dot is on a .22. What are the factory or other iron sights for? Are you using them to "find" the dot? Are batteries running down a common fault? Or sights falling off? By many reports the screws are pretty cheesy.

    Colt is releasing more 'memberberries.

    If you like the gun, fine, but they are just recycling model names and you will not be getting the same specs.

    Is it possible?

    Even Winchester had trouble making a 94 in .44 Magnum.

    Hitchcock 45's hearing protection.

    I had two tries at ”custom molded on the range” plugs. Neither was comfortable or quiet.

    Chronograph recommendations?

    I have a Prochrono similar to armoredman's. It is an early model with wired remote control, which did not hold up even after factory repair. My FLG/ham radio operator said the connections were just cheap and nasty. It worked ok as a walk-down unit, if the range was unattended and I did not...

    No Moon Clips

    As said, you will have to push cartridges past the Charter spring loaded rimless extractors. How well does this work with a speed loader? Who will be hastily reloading a hideout gun like that? English and Continental gunmakers will sell you a double express rifle with that type of extractor...

    Chronograph recommendations?

    Since I have the Garmin, the Labradar LX will just be something interesting to read about, but it will be a competitor in the market for those who haven't bought yet..

    Chronograph recommendations?

    I have a Garmin and it does what I want done. But if I were just now shopping, I would wait until I saw what the LX was like.

    Most rust resistant handgun?

    I had a NIB stainless gun showing rust flecks. I went ahead and bought it, a discontinued model I prefer to its successor. It cleaned up well but not perfectly. I used to see hard chrome over stainless recommended for “hard use.” DLC, nitride, even coating over stainless if you want a dark...

    Caliber selection for small frame hunter

    I don't understand why the 6.5 CM has fallen out of favor. OK, the target shooters can punch paper or ring steel about as well with a 6mm and some Real Americans have rediscovered the .25, but the Creedmoor is in the same ball park as the Swede and fits short actions. The 6.5s "used in...

    Alliant 2400 in .357 Mag

    You have to be careful of old data. In 1967 they (Lyman) were getting top velocity with 11.5 grains of Herco. Their maximum now is 7.5!

    SCOTUS considering Bianchi v Frosh/Duncan v Bonta the turning point for AW/magazine ban?

    Yes, I have watched your progress. Most of that stuff, I have already owned, tried out, or dismissed in the 20 years I have over you.

    SCOTUS considering Bianchi v Frosh/Duncan v Bonta the turning point for AW/magazine ban?

    I am over the hill, cancel every gun purchase limitation on the books, and give me a blank check; I don't know what I would buy that would improve my shooting experience.

    Would it make any sense to do this?

    What will you do with the 6.5x284 barrel if you replace it with the 6.5 CM? Without a use in mind, I would just wear it out and then replace it with whatever suits at the time.

    .38 Special "Super Police"

    After the .38-44, .38 Super, and .357 Magnum came out, one wag said of the Super Police that the challenge to an auto bandit was “Halt! Or I will scratch up your paint.”
