I ALWAYS carry a flask of Wild Turkey with me when hunting. It's ONLY for "desensitizing" the sniffer when I'm about to field dress or to "motivate" those that are about to help me drag one out of the woods. The only time I'll take a swig with a loaded gun in my hand is on the last day of...

+1 on the Sig 229. My new P229 Elite is only 3 days old and has had only 50 rounds through it but the gun is pure sex. Grip is a little large (need to swing the thumb over hard to hit the mag release). Recoil is far less than I expected - more like a 9 to me than my 45 and WAY less than my 44...

I have a new Sig 229 Elite in 40 on the way.... More like a grand though.

Am thinking of getting my son a gun for Christmas. Lord knows I have enough for myself..... Anyway, I am leaning towards a semi-auto 12 Gauge (Something I do not yet have....). I am looking for some versatility with it too. My first shotty was an 870 express combo w/2 barrels. It still...

My father in law gets new Lapua .220 russian brass every January for fire forming into each of his his 6mm PPC benchrest guns. He throws them all away in December after 1 season. He reloads these same cartridges (specific for each gun) at least 25 times over the span of a year. Did I mention...

For the love of God and all that is holy. Don't ever go out and shoot a real round of skeet with your self described shooting skills. It will become a full bore addiction. Unyielding.. You WILL find yourself purchasing new "spiffy" over unders, cool shooting vests, shell bags and an endless...

You sir are my new hero.

Ever been to a big benchrest competition? There are 100's of flags all over the place. It looks rediculous. My Father in Law brings 40 to 50 individual flags to big competitions (4 to 6 flags per bench with 5 rotations at 100 and 200 yards). Like I said it's a technology (read money) driven...

My Father in Law is a competitive benchrest guy. The VAST majority of his colleagues use Vit. N133 and Lapua 220 russian brass fire formed for thier reamers/barrels as others have said. I think he makes 68 Grain HP match bullets (yes - he makes his own bullets... lead core, copper jackets...

Funny to see this post today. Yesterday I reamed and trimmed 600 or so 223 Lake City and other NATO stuff - and my fingers have the blisters to prove it. My fired brass was ALL over the place. Some took 2 turns with the Lee rotary and were fine, others took 20 turns and brass ribbons everywhere...

I've had a MEC-650 for years. It used to pay to reload - but I'm not sure if it still does. I used to be in skeet leagues and was good for 15 or so rounds of skeet a week. Not sure what the presses and components go for now (I was paying $17 for a pound of red dot and 20 bucks for 25 lbs of 9...

It's the front of the bolt in an AR-15 (locking lugs and firing pin, etc.). I have one and get a kick out of other people that know what it is (it's pretty rare though...)

I too am in a "no ship" area of NY - out on Long Island. I got a quote from you on a new Beretta 40 S&W had the $$ ready to go and found out about the no ship to Suffolk County clause you follow. While I do understand that it is YOUR business and you can run it the best way you see fit, it...

I had one whizz over my head 2 deer seasons ago. And yes they make a NOTICABLE noise. It was indeed the slug. Not a sound I ever want to hear again.

Had the unpleasant experience of being mauled by 2 rotweillers a few years ago. They went after my 10yr old daughter first. Luckilly, she got away. I was not so fortunate. Unprovoked attack. Never even saw the dogs before. After the initaial attack I jumped a fence and destroyed my shoulder...
