As a long time eyeglass wearer and user of binoculars/scopes, this is one of my major concerns. The minimum eye relief needed for eyeglass wearers depends on your frames and how closely to your eyes they are fitted. My Leica binoculars have eye relief of 16 mm and this is not enough. For me...

Bear, I have that same carrier. Apply Neatsfoot oil LIBERALLY to the inside and outside of loops using felt/cotton bob, then force shells into the loops. Try to bend the carrier into an arc while the shells are in loops. Repeat frequently. My leather carrier loosened up nicely and was...

Is your recoil spring too long and binding/rubbing on the lower side of rod during full recoil/cycling? Good shooting and be safe. LB

You can also just unscrew the peep and use the rim into which it screws as a LARGE peep for very close, fast work. PS: did not work well for me and I replaced/used the original factory size peep insert with my Marlin 1894 rifle in .44 Mag. Good shooting and be safe. LB

Irishlager, If you are handy with leather, try making your holster. I designed and made a vertical pouch shoulder holster for my S&W M629, 6.5" barrel, with 2X Leupold EER scope. Obtain brown paper grocery bag and open it up. Fold over the pistol in pouch shape and trim excess paper...

Nick, Can't help you with recipe for antelope but congrats on a successful hunt. We just got back from a long vacation trip and saw LOTS (literally hundreds) of antelope in Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. Must be a bumper crop year. Good shooting and be safe. LB

Quote: "Anyone else have difficulty getting a good, consistent mount with thicker recoil protection? Perhaps this is why many vests have such light padding?" Yes, thick pads/vests/etc. can cause problems when shooting shotguns because they effectively increase the stock length. This in...

For M41's: - Remove and clean barrel using Shooters Choice Bore Cleaner. - Be careful removing (and replacing) pistol grips as they can sometimes become brittle with age. - Clean frame and magazine with Shooters Choice Bore Cleaner. - Lube ALL shiny spots where metal rubs on metal with...

TNP, Check with S&W. If you can get the barrel shortened or replaced for a reasonable fee, I think you will really like the 5" length. When I got into S&W 29/629 revolvers about 15 years ago, I owned and tested guns with barrels of 4", 5", 6", 6 1/2", and 8 3/8". The 5" is by FAR my...

Quote: "What power spotting scope....." Quality of lens/scope may be as important or more important than power. More power in a cheap, poor quality scope may not have the sharpness to resolve .22 cal holes at 200. As posted above, too much power may not work because of mirage and wind...

Joe, I had one of the CH 3 station H presses, bought in 1964. After selling it to a friend, I bought another one and still have it along with several other presses, including two Hornady LNL-AP progressives. I still like and use the H press for small quantities of pistol rounds. I don't...

It's been a LONG time since I studied physics but isn't an "explosion" only a superfast burn rate? Technically don't all flammables, propellants, and explosives simply burn at different rates? As noted above, additional pressure can increase the burn rate of a substance/propellant. Good...

Sam, I retired my rifles several years ago and began hunting with scoped S&W .44 Mags. Tested pistols with 4", 5", 6", 6.5", and 8 3/8" barrels with scopes of 2X and 4X. My final choice was 6.5" barrel M629 Classic revolver with 2X Leupold EER scope. Worked great for me. I even made a...
