I would pass on the Winchester White Box for a class. I've fired 1,500 rounds of it for range practice and had 3 failures to fire. When you're spending money for a class, you don't want to spend any time figuring out what's wrong: your gun or the ammo, or trying to clear jams of an unspecified...

Blueing works on brass.

I have one for all of my handgun calibers and it works great. There are two advantages that haven't been mentioned. 1) Bullet Sizing. I cast my own bullets that are sometime 2-3 thou. too large. The FCD will shrink it to size. 2) Loading .44 cartridges into my Ruger always required that I...

The reason there is a focus ring on your Leupold is to correct for parallax. With your scope, when BOTH the reticle AND the target are in focus, there are no parallax issues. Yes, generally speaking, high-magnifications only magnifiy a miniscule wobble zone which puts you on an endless cycle...

It looks like everyone feels the need to go overboard here. The poster had a bad experience while looking to find some peace and quiet and finds himself in the middle of a biker rally and generally being made uncomfortable by some members of this incursion. It's just one more thing to top off...

In my 9mm's, tumbling has always been caused by soft bullets. Try adding more tin and/or antimony to your alloy. As was said, sizing to .357 may help too.

The goal is to keep people who are in no condition to drive from doing so and punishing if they act irresponsibly. I'm not going to argue that. The problem I have is that we are not trying to determine if people are impaired, we are testing a blood alcohol level which may or may not tell us...

I have two word for Beretta if they want me to buy one. Folding Stock

Lumber being dropped off sounds a lot like gunshots too.

No one ever got something they wanted by looking it in the face and saying, "That looks too hard."

I knew someone who had an alarm go off on the street in front of his house about 6 times every night. It would time out, but SOMEthing was setting it off. The owner of the car lived 10 houses down, but always parked it directly occross the street from this guy's house. One morning when the...

My 124 9mm do best just below the stripe on the neck or higher. My .44 was a lot a fun for everybody because it seemed to pick the pins up and throw them up off of the table, and I was only using 210gr loads at 1,350 fps. I'm going to try some 300gr bullets at the same velocity just for the heck...

Maybe this is what they were talking about when they wrote "Killed with a bullet from a six string gun."

I would not buy another gun with a plastic trigger. My H&K is a great gun, and the plastic trigger shows no signs of wear at over 40,000 rounds, but the trigger flexes slightly and screws up the trigger feel. CZ must have lost their mind to put a plastic trigger on the CZSA. The whole reason...

The 9mm really needs velocity to maintain it's effectiveness, but for a non-defensive gun, the 147 grain loads are just fine. The .45 has a lot of effective loads under 1,100fps and you wouldn't be losing anything by suppressing it.
