I trim the hulls with an xacto knife blade and use an overshot card held in by a few drops of Elmers glue. It has worked perfectly fine for hundreds of rounds. I get 3 to 5 reloads before the case heads get loose.

I travel to and from Canada about a dozen times a year. Mostly through New York. The CCW question started last year. Answering untruthfully is reason for detainment. They already know the answer prior to asking the question. I was once asked what makes of vehicles were registered in my name. I...

Semi-Auto Shotgun platform. Pricing, timing with hunting season, and uncharted territory for the brand makes sense. However, I hope I am wrong. That is a tough market with the current competition.

I run an Electrical Contracting business that primary does large residential custom homes and multi-million dollar beach houses. We only hire quality help and most of the guys are certified gun nuts. We have seen it all over the years from nudist to meth labs to human filth to things you cannot...

I have had success using an air compressor with a rubber tipped spray bib on .22LR. Point barrel in safe direction, set compressor regulator to 120+ PSI (mine is closer to 150PSI), and press rubber tip tightly to chamber and blow it out. I did this with a stuck 40gr bullet in a 10/22 barrel...

I have use the .475 Linebaugh on a pair of Eastern Whitetails. The first was a 140lb doe with a 320gr HCLRN at about 105 yards. Dead right there with substantial exit wound. Both sholders were crushed and turned to jelly. This was a handload at around 1075fps, which is VERY slow for this...

Older Savage 110s had a 1in9 twist. The current models are 1in9.25. I have no issues with the 105AMAX in the 1in9 models and the 9.25 models IME stabilize well out to about 375 yards, where they start to loosen up the groups. I have a custom barrel in 1in8.5, which I believe is the best...

I have been using the MBC Whitetail #1 165gr RNFP with around 11.5-12.0gr of Trailboss. From a 22" BBL I get about 1100fps. I started at 14.0gr and worked down. Around 10.0gr they stick in the bore. Very quite. The crosshairs never leave the target under recoil. 1.25" groups @ 100 and...

With mid range glass and a good bipod this will exceed your skill level for the life of the barrel. If your budget is truly $600 then I would suggest a high quality .22lr target rifle and optic and a brick of ammo. The money would be better spent in learning proper shooting form for long...

Thanks. I just spit Coke all over my keyboard. :banghead: t2e

Just to clairify, the gun was purchased "New" but had been sitting in the store for a couple years.

I sent a Ruger KP90D .45ACP that I purchase NOS from a local shop back to Ruger awhile back (the shop is now closed, or I would have started there). It would FTE or stove pipe every third or fourth round with several types of ammo and different magazines. I own 5 other P90s and have NEVER...

My Brother picked up a Sig Sauer .223 AR 15 at Walmart today for $499!!!!!! :what: Was originally $1087 and they had them marked down to five bills. Says Made in Canada on the barrel and is not marked as a 556 model. What gives? t2e

I will look when I am in the shop this week. It is Federal red and white box from the 1990's and it is 100% a 100gr JHP. It is newly mfg ammo that I ordered directly from my distributor for myself. I have shot several cases of the stuff. I also have some Fed 85gr and 95gr JHP factory ammo...

federal never loaded 100 grain bullets in .32 H&r mag. what winchester loads were you shooting because winchester never loaded.32h&r mag Yes they did. I have several dozen boxes of Fed 100gr JHP's. I have had issues with high pressures with Starline brass and the .32h&r. I like their...
