    Ammo Shipping

    It turns out that my adult child went shooting some years ago and did not re-purchase. OOPS I have some 22 she could use. But it involves either UPS or FedEX. I know the rules, but what are the extra charges above the shipping cost? Same? I read an old thread saying UPS had a $25 fee.

    Remington Golden Bullet Value Pack Junk Ammo

    I used to avoid the Goldens. But for the last year they have been plentiful at Cabellas. I go thru about 6 bricks a year shooting prairie dogs for Colorado ranchers. So I bought a bunch of bricks. ( I want to say this first about Federal Automatch: They are consistent in my PD-Killer CZ...

    Federal AutoMatch 22LR.

    Review. It shows up at Cabellas too. I shoot prairie dogs for ranches. My total for this season is 1200, and with the exception of about 100 with a shotgun, about a third have been taken with Automatch in a CZ bolt action at ranges from 70-180 yards. I consider it accurate and consistent.

    colorado magazine law = becoming compliant

    The burden of proof as to MFG date is on the State. Did you buy it before July 2013? Just so you all know: There has been approximately zero enforcement here of the new Law. I am thinking maybe one case. Lock it in your trunk if you are worried. Don't attempt to sell the magazine. In...

    Rates of Fire

    I saved an article about 10 years ago, but can only summarize it now. It was about 4 aimed shots. That is the legal capacity for hunting in many states. Winner: Semi-auto. About 5 seconds. Then Bolt. Many can do 10 military rounds in about 15 seconds, so about 7 seconds for 4 rounds...

    Is part of Obama's EO on guns a catch 22?

    Once you become licensed, you are know as a business, likely in a searchable database. Then you are more likely to be burglarized or robbed. Thus the guns get into the hands of criminals!
