So used to shooting 240, 250 and 300gr sabots from my Traditions Strikerfire and Optima V2 pistol Then I saw this: 100gr? Aluminum???? https://www.muzzle-loaders.com/bullets/thor-aluminum-bullets-gg-mmp-sabots-100-grain-15-pack.html tempted to pick up a pack to try out but a bit leery. would...

Going thru my range bag I came across a tin of Winchester magnum BP #11 caps. I do not remember specifically buying them. Can assume it may have been a accident/oversight. When would you use magnum caps? For pellets? Currently only have a 1860 that uses caps. Typically I use loose 777. I have...

OK, my use of scopes is rather limited. First was a Tasco that I put on a Marlin 795. Worked and recently replaced with Tech-Sights. Bushnell premounted on a Savage Rebranded Ruger on a Ruger Air Hawk. This scope blew up and I bought a Leapers/UTG 4x AO Question: I had to shim the scope...

Anyone else have/had issues with Winchester 777 209 primers? I went out to shoot my new inline. These 209 primers were the only brand available at the LGS. Now I know why. 50% failure rate. Talk about frustrating! Grrrrr! Cleaning between shots to dial sights in I can handle. But not having...

Few years back I bought 3 spouts from Dixie GunWorks. I etched them based on receipt. Bought a 20, 25, and 30gr spout. Today I bought a new flask with a 30gr spout. the 2 30gr spouts are completely different. One is short & squat, other is long & skinny. New 30gr is even shorter & narrower...

Any disadvantage to sighting in at a down angle? this is for a Ruger Air Hawk air rifle Option 1. About 40-50 foot range but flat and decent backdrop. Option 2. From my balcony up to 150 feet great backdrop. From a different position can go further but backdrop is smaller. Should I stick...

Soo,... several months ago I bought my first springer air rifle. a Ruger Air hawk. Not the the best but figured it would be OK for a first. After I got it, I shot it enough to realize the scope is junk. won't hold zero. Again, wasn't too bit a issue 'cause if I felt I really needed to shoot a...

OK, so far I only reload handgun but now I want to start with rifles. If you only have 1 rifle in a particular caliber, is there a reason to get a full length sizing die? or will a neck sizer be sufficient?

Got this from a FB link. Pretty funny. Group poses as anti-gun goes to various media houses to see if they will allow posting a gun free zone sign. you already know the result :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=wt1Zy_ASNyA

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/01/01/company-targeting-police-bounty-hunters-with-safer-ammo/?test=latestnews OK, this sounds like a good idea and can have some good specific uses. However, its would seem to me that anything fired from a 12ga would pierce the skin of a airplane. After all...

Today I killed my Tula M44 hex I decided it was time to do something about the heavy trigger. So I cut up a bunch of shims from a soda can and busted apart a staple remover for the spring. Took everything apart and started experimenting with shim depth. In the process I fumbled fingered and...

OK, my experience with a shotgun is pretty much head out to the woods with friends and hand-throw the clays. Yesterday, I went to a club and shot my first ever round of sporting clays. I am officially hooked :) I did horrible but had a blast. Best part is, the state of California...

not sure if this is old news but I just became aware... I almost kinda want one. Mall Ninjas beware!!

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/12/22/sniper-detectors-coming-to-americas-heartland/ Pretty interesting but I really wonder how effective it really is. How does it handle suppressor equipped firearms? What about shots fired inside a vehicle or structure echo's from allyways etc. what...

This is for a Uberti 1873 Cattleman OK, been playing with loads using a 200g RNFP I have Unique and Trail Boss powder altho I havent gone to the range yet with the TB Alliant lists between 8-9g for a 200g bullet in my booklet Website lists 9.5g only. OK so far. I loaded starting at 8g and went...

I have access to bedding sand (used in construction around pipes in trenches). Would that be acceptable media for a tumbler? I can sieve out the larger pieces and the fines to bring it closer to normal tumbler media size. After I run my tests in the lab, the excess material is tossed. seems...

been thinking about something. what would one do if they cannot find reloading data for a particular caliber or bullet weight or both? or even for a particular powder you want to use but no recipe for the bullet? I have cast 200g RNFP for my .45C I've had my fun loading with black powder subs...

I was cleaning out my closet when I came across a old ammo can I forgot about. Inside was was about 300rds of .223 REM. I no longer own a .223 I see 2 options: I could give it to a friend of the family (only one I know and like that owns a 223) Or I could be selfish, keep the ammo, and buy...
