I'd love to take a trip into the future, after all of Glock's patents are long gone and everyone from A to Z is making them, and all of them changing some small thing to a different material or way of manufacturing, or changing the dimensions ever so slightly. Probably be a lot like a 1911 is...

Been shooting 200 gr LSWCs for decades using Bulls-eye powder. Yeah, I know, it burns a bit dirty but it gives me my best groups for my Government Model, Officer Model and my Gold Cup National Match. For the last year I have been loading Acme coated LSWCs and they seem to run about as good, with...

Bought the better half a youth model 20 gauge 870. Handy little shotgun. Fairly light, and even with the shortened stock it works well for me and I am a 6 footer while she is just above 5 feet tall.

Sort of reminds me of the old Savage/Stevens bolt action rifles in 30-30 Winchester. Accurate, not much to look at, but they never did sell very well. Shame, that.

In the end, Federal authority is superior to state authority. Pot is illegal federally, so I wait for the Feds to try and convict a user in Federal court in a state where pot is by state statute legal. Probably what its going to take in order to settle the issue once and for all.

Amazon is also a good place to check for scales. I picked up a brand new RCBS 10-10 scale last year for less than $75

Any firearm maker is capable of turning out a dud which gets past their customer service. Reviews are nice to read but know they are only talking about one particular firearm and generally speaking they do not have multiples of it to do a fair comparison. Also know the old addage: A customer...

I recently bought a Ruger Bisley Blackhawk in 45 Colt, and its a lot of fun whether you load to max power or standard pressure plinkers. For me, the Bisley grip is much more comfortable to shoot the heavies than the standard Blackhawk grip. Picked it up on line brand new for $650 and couldn't be...

"Unique and metering"....two words which don't often collide in the same sentence!

I use the Forster neck/shoulder bump die along with the Forster Benchrest seating die. Both work well for me, and the Forster seating die is the same design as the Redding, but costs less.

Do yourself a favor and get some check weights. Its worth your face and your pistol. I use check weights on both beam and electronic scales.

Another term for this is momentum.

The 5th Amendment doesnt seem to mean much to these people, except when they are trying to weasel out of answering a direct question. As a test case, I think every congressman who votes for this absurd bill should be charged with dereliction of duty-failing to uphold the oath they swore to, and...

Knowing what the OP is after is certainly germane to what we are talking about. As to a shut off gas action, one is still depending upon spring power to chamber the round, correct? If fresh springs are periodically installed, I suppose that would make it a non issue. And shutting off the gas...

For dollar to dollar spent, a bolt rifle should be more accurate than an autoloader. Bolt guns have fewer moving parts and don't depend on gasses to cycle. Look at some of the prices on semi automatic rifles that are supposedly "target" grade. Nothing at all wrong with accurate semi automatic...
