    Shooting problem, looking for advice/help

    If you are shooting a group, consistently, but the group is in the wrong place then the sights might need adjusting. If you are not shooting a group (and by group I mean something you could cover with a closed fist) then it's not the sights.

    Why does Rossi M92 shoot so low when barrel gets warm?

    Seems to me that first you need to get a horse, then a scabbard, then..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djyx9wPoDOU But seriously, if you have the saddle ring you could just hook a single point sling to it and call it good. Or if you MUST put sling studs into it then I don't think you...

    SAFETY WARNING:Drawstrings on jacket can cause unintentional discharge of firearms

    The reporting is a bit over the top but the safety issue it addresses is real and for more than just Glock handguns. "Drawstrings on jacket can cause unintentional discharge of firearms." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrJMQupYxaw

    Why does Rossi M92 shoot so low when barrel gets warm?

    Was this benched or on a rest or offhand? Reloads or factory ammo Could be a lot of different things including some fouling (especially where the rim seats) or barrel bands that are too tight or simple shooter fatigue (personally when I start wandering to the left I know it's time to take a...

    Fire Mission: Please hit this poll

    TRENTON — Should New Jersey lawmakers pass a gun control bill that would reduce the size of ammunition magazines from 15 to 10 rounds? "The measure was included as part of a sweeping package of bills aimed to strengthen New Jersey's gun laws. But while the state Assembly passed it last year...

    A Unique experience

    My measure is on a home made stand that has a fairly long "arm". As a result it bounces just a bit when I thunk the lever up and down. I'm convinced that's why I have no trouble with Unique and similar powders. Well, unless I get down to small volume cases but then again I also think Unique...

    Anti Caught Me Competely Off Guard

    In a sense I'm "lucky". When someone huffs up like that, telling me "nobody needs..." I can point to the knife scar on my arm and say...."nope, yer WRONG!"

    My day to break things

    The "bucket" is a 5 gal pail that is a combination of once fired from a buddy and myself, as well as a LOT of range-pickup gathered over about 2 years. I'm guessing about 6,000 pcs. I think it would take me the rest of my life to process 23,000 cases (I have a single stage press)

    My day to break things

    What a morning I'm having. Since I finally have primers I decided it was time to go ahead and process the bucket of 5.56 brass I have. I'm rolling along nicely when I hit a piece of military crimped brass and snapped the decapping pin in my die. I have RCBS so I'm usually pretty careful...

    Exotic-Novel-Antique-Uncommon-Rare-Weird-Strange-Unique PISTOL you've fired/owned?

    Star Arms MEGA-STAR in 10mm (not mine) Nagant revolver. Okay not that rare but as weird as it gets and I once got to hold a c.1880 Colt Peacemaker chambered in .44 Henry Rimfire but I had to give it back :(

    I need a new carry firearm

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Walther PPS. I have a 9mm version and that little pistol has been a bundle of happy surprises for me. When I can reasonably wear a shoulder rig I still carry a SIG 229 but in warmer weather or more "dressed up" occasions the PPS just vanishes with a good...

    browning buckmark, first hand experience sought, reflex sights..

    Always check quality, don't be afraid of price, few things will make you crazier than a "wandering zero". When it comes to price for sights/scopes I fall back to my camera/lens analogy. You can have the absolute best camera body/rifle/pistol. Accurate, never jams, always does precisely...

    Handtrucks to the range?

    I have access to a very nice club where you can (usually) back right up to the covered shooting area. However I also go to an open public range at a National Forest and at that place you DO NOT leave your stuff unattended. When at the latter I either go light, or use the cart from my SASS...

    Do you remember your first handload firing?

    Yeah, I remember First 10 Reloads!
