Long time since I've last been here, but I need to turn to the High Road for assistance. I mounted a scope on a DPMS Sportical (5.56/.223) and went to sight it in with some Remington 55 gr FMJ. This rifle always shot well at 100 yrds or greater for the previous 5 yrs before I mounted the...

Have any AR-10 like .308 owners fired either Herter's or Tula 150gr steel cased ammo? How 'bout Wolf or Brown Bear for that matter? I have an RRA LAR-8 and wanted to start building a stock of bulk ammo. The prices are decent. I know they are 'dirty', but really want to know if they cycle...

Just got my hands on a nice M1 Carbine and want to reload for it. Based on the powder I have available, I'll start with H110. I guess the info I'm soliciting is: - Recommended powders you've success with? - Any peculiarities in reloading for a carbine? Anything I need to know about...

Missed out at CMP. So, I have an Inland M1 Carbine on hold at my local gunshop. Inland receiver, and barrel (12-44). Winchester tang, and winchester hammer, and Saginaw trigger assembly. Very clean with decent wood, and very good metal. Guaranteed functional by the shop owner who is a good...

Folks; Does anyone know of a good (reliable) 5 round AK magazine that'll fit/work in an SKS-D? My first experiment was with an Arsenal poly-mag from Midway USA. Wouldn't fit all the way in and lock up. :mad: I would like to take this into the brush country for deer next year and need a...

These rifles any good? I 've seen some comments on the forum before, but the search didn't turn up enough info. K98, M48, 24/47...which is best and why? Starting to get into historic rifles, and thought this would be a nice complement to my Garand and Mosin.

I just received my LAR-8. Quick question on scope mounts: Can anyone tell me if the .308 upper requires a different picatinney based mount than a 5.56mm based flat top upper? Is there a difference in rail width? I'm guessing no, but wanted to check with some experienced folks before doing...

Which one?

Need some quick advice: I have an opportunity for a good price on a Rock River Arms LAR-8. I want to use it as a deer rifle. Originally I favored the 20" barrel. This one is a 16" carbine. For deer hunting with a .308, is the 16" sufficient? Or am I losing too much to the 20"? I...

Greetings: To all of the SKS afficianados out there, I could use some advice on a nice shooting SKS-D I've come into. I purchased it from the widow of a friend of mine, unaware I had a 'D' model. I thought it had been modified after production to accept the AK mags that she gave me with the...

Folks; I'm moving to North Carolina. Most likely going to reside in either Lee or Johnston Counties. I'm requesting info on range facilities within a 45 min drive. Preferably outdoor. I'm mostly a rifle shooter and would like at least a 100yrd facility. Public or private. Please assist...

Gents; Is there such a thing as a RELIABLE and SOLID optics mount for the SKS? I've seen a lot of reciever/dust cover replacements but are they truely solid? Can they maintain zero? If anyone can recommend a good picatinney rail mount I'd appreciate it. Sights on the SKS are not...

Gents; Just started reloading for the 300 WSM, and I've been learning that the fat cases cause their own set of issues. I've found suitable work arounds for all except one: My Lee Auto-Prime's (Hand held priming tool) jaws aren't wide enough to let the case in to be primed. I have the right...

Gents; Came across an opportunity to purchase a Blued Colt Delta Elite, older one. Once fired, in box with papers. $700. Hadn't really compared the price online, other than a cursory check on GB, and it seemed good. Is this a good deal worth jumping on?

Looking for a accurate and solid 180 gr bullet that will hold together for hunting with my .300 WSM. Looking at the either the Nosler Accubond or Hornady Interbond. I want controlled expansion, not a rapid dump of energy resulting in case/core seperation I've been experiencing with my Sierra...

Happy New Year All: My loving wife just gave me a BLR in .300 WSM as a gift for promotion to LTC. :D While the cartridge was my #3 choice I can much complain getting my "dream rifle." Need some reloading tips for this one: 1. Thinking 180gr bullets are the way to go with this baby. Any...

I've been using 245gr Power Belt HPs in my Inline, with 100gr of Pyrodex (pellets). I've had 2 deer escape makeable rifle shots due to bullet deflections from brush. And I'm talking small twigs. I continue to use them because I get MOA groups. Yesterday, in my final blackpowder hunt of...

High Roaders: I shot a buddy's Mosin-Nagant a couple weekends ago. Seems like a nice gun to have around, and you can't beat the prices. I'm thinking about buying one, and thought I'd ask the experts what should I look for? Manufacturers/importers I should stay away from. What is a fair...

Requesting advice on an effective knife sharpening device that a novice can master. I have tried a couple different methods that vary in effectiveness. Currently using angled sharpening rods (coarse/fine) mounted in a block of wood at the correct angles. It works on a blade that still has...

Gents; I think this may be old ground... but is the .280 REM a good Elk gun? I ran a quick thread search and the topic didn't pop up. I like the caliber, and looking for a reason to buy one. Seems like a great round for the reloader. What are the limitations of a .280 w/ Elk? I want a...
