    Injuries... how have they changed your life with firearms?

    About a year ago I injured my shoulder at work, I used to be able to shoot any rifle you put in front of me with no pain or flinch. Now I can't shoulder anything over 308 . I am barely able to start pulling my 60 pound bow back and deer season is coming up in 2 months over here. I've...

    Home defense carbine: 9mm v. 223

    Although I prefer my 12 ga. For my house. Your circumstances are different then mine. Over penetration isn't an issue for my house, so for maximum devastation 12 ga. Is it for me. But you said 9mm or 223, pick the one that you can clear your house with safest. It doesn't matter witch one it...

    Home defense carbine: 9mm v. 223

    What it comes down to is we will all have our own opinions on what's best. For me its my 12 ga. I can swep my house in several seconds and handle it very accurately. And the way my house is set up my neighbors will not be in my shooting lanes. Any over penetration will go to my garage or a...

    Home defense carbine: 9mm v. 223

    Look I love 223 round, it stops coyotes with no problem . But for home defence I vote against it. I work with military vets, and they have all told me stories about shooting people with the 556 or 9mm and they keep charging . So they would pick up ak's for the stopping power. But besides that...

    Home defense carbine: 9mm v. 223

    Its the sound of you racking a round into your pump 12 gauge that screams home defense. And nothing beats a 12 gauge with a staggered buck shot and slug combination. Mossberg 500 20" barrel 8 round capacity.

    what's the best bullet for Remington 700 in 223

    I use the 36 varmint grenade because I live in California and most of the state is non lead. I tried the Barnes 50 grain but my gun did not like those.

    what's the best bullet for Remington 700 in 223

    Ok a gentleman, so I have a Remington 700 SPS Varmint in 223. This used to be my go to coyote gun, but I built an AR 15 for coyote and want to make this a target gun for longer ranges 400+ yards. I was using 36gr. Barnes varmint grenade. They look good on paper out to 300 yards, but past that...

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    How's it going gentleman, I just signed up to the high road today, I have over 15 guns and I love them all almost as much as my son. I have a variety of guns from semis and bolts to pistols and shotguns. Most of my guns have never shot a factory round. I'm far from knowing...
