I haven't posted here much in a while, so I figured I'd put up some targets from yesterday. I've been shooting 168 SMK's in my .308 PSS, but I decided to try out the 175's to see if they would shoot. I shot a series to figure out how much powder it likes, and came up with 43 grains. This is...

Well, my shop got broken into last Friday, but I was pleased with the way my wife handled it. She got off work early, and was pulling up to the house when she noticed three people walking down the street. This is a little unusual for my street, about the only people you see walking is an...

I did a search on this, and didn't come up with much. I got a Mosin several months back in extremely good condition, and haven't put any rounds downrange with it yet. I was flipping through Sportsmans Guide and ran across this ammo, $59.97 for 450 rounds...

Hey guys, What is a good source for surplus components? Mainly .30 bullets, but if you have a good source for any surplus components I'd like to hear about it. Thanks!

NOT a gun shop rant! This week a new gun shop opened up in Florence, SC. It's on Hwy 52, just off of I-95. Exit 164, I think? It's called Buffy's Sportsmans Paradise. I thought it was opening in another couple of weeks, but a friend told me it was open last night, so I stopped by at lunch...

Here's the situation: I'm wanting to get a purse gun some time in the future for my wife. She likes the Kel-Tec P11 9mm because of the size and very light weight. This will be a gun that will be carried a lot and shot a little, but I will make sure it's reliable. Around here, a P11 with...

Yesterday, after waiting what seemed like an eternity but was actually closer to 3 months, I finally got my CWP! As I do several times a week, I'd just stopped by my parents' house and run a couple of mags through my new 1911. Things were really clicking, and I was chasing the bottle all over...

Specifically 1911 magazines if you're wearing a tuckable holster? Most of the mag carriers I've seen were OWB, and I don't think carrying one in my pocket would be the best idea. So, how do you do it?

Hey y'all. A guy I know just bought a lightly used Taurus .357, and brought it to me to look at. It is in very good shape, very little bluing wear and doesn't look like it's been 'worked on'. He said that, every now and then, the cylinder will be out of line enough that the firing pin hits...

Today at lunch, I picked up my first 1911, a Springfield Armory Loaded in OD Armorykote. I've wanted a 1911 for a long time, and had my eye on this particular one. I was going to go today and put it on layaway, but got an unexpected bonus at work, and was able to just buy it. I haven't had a...

Hey guys. I've run across a brand new forum starting up at SniperSustainment.com. I recognize a lot of the names signing up, they're experienced shooters. It should be a good board. If you're interested in practical precision shooting, you ought to give it a look. At least help get it off...

I'm proud of her. She grew up in a family where guns were accepted, but very rarely seen. So, when she married me and started getting used to me shooting every week, and stopping by my reloading room at my parents house frequently to 'try out something', it was a bit of a shock.:p...

Sorry, I just had to get it out. Pardon me while I blow my nose.... So, anyway, I don't have a 1911, which I have been coveting for quite a while. And my two younger brothers, who are entering 12th grade and college, are both about to get one. The older is getting a Rock Island, which is...

I had someone ask me a question the other day, and I couldn't come up with much. What are the options for a milsurp .308? It would need to be bolt action, and relatively inexpensive. I know I've seen some Mausers somewhere that were .308, but that's all I could come up with.

Tuner, I'm pretty well set on getting a SA Milspec, however both of my younger brothers are planning on buying 1911's, probably tomorrow, and they're still deciding. The shop they are going to buy from has Rock Islands for $350 and SA GI's for $420. They look very much alike to me, in...

I know a guy who is trying to sell a Lee Enfield .303. I think it's a Mk1No4, but I can't remember for sure. The guy who owned it before him was trying to be cool and filed the serial numbers off. I wouldn't mind having it, if for no other reason but to get the bolt head off of it, but I...

Officer shoots man I've never thought about this possibility. Training failure?

I have a Rossi .38. It shoots pretty well, actually, for the short barrel and barely-there sights. I've been told the frame is the same as a S&W J frame. Is this true? My CWP is on the way and I need a holster.

Second Ammendment Petition A respected member of another board I frequent is trying to get a petition going. Here's his original post: I'm not associated with this petition, but it's starting out slow and I'm trying to add some momentum to it. You won't receive any spam or anything else...

I just watched Red Dawn for the first time tonight. Afterwards, the first thing I did was check the ammo reserves. Plenty of .45's and .38's, but the rifle ammo needs some major help. I have 100 rounds for the SKS, but only 60 on stripper clips. The .308 stock is really low, and the local...
