I recently purchased a 77/357 and had it threaded for a suppressor. I've been feeding it full power loads since I got it, but I'd also like to shoot some subsonics through it. That said, I don't have any powders that are ideal for 38 special loads, but I do have ~7lbs of WST that I keep on hand...

Hey Guys, I've just completed building a new Savage/Shilen .260 Remington build, and I'm looking to top it with some new optics. It will primarily be a bench gun spending time at 100-700 yards, but may see 1-2 white tail trips a year. I'm looking for something in the 6-20ish power range...

Hey guys, I just picked up my first Glock this past week at Cabelas. It's a Glock 17 RTF2. I've been a bench rest/target rifle shooter and reloader for a long time, but wanted to pickup a Glock before we eventually can't own these kind of things anymore. Being that I'm used to triggers in...

Gentlemen, I've had a weird problem as of late concerning flitz brass polish and Walnut media. I also use Hornady One-Shot spray. I've noticed that when resizing cases I get a walnut "crust" that comes out from the mouth of the case on the down stroke. This eventually builds up inside the...

Gentlemen, I recently found a load that I can FINALLY get to shoot out of my Rem 700 in 300 RUM, however it seems to be a bit inconsistent. I just got back from the range today where I fired 30 rounds of the exact same load. Temps were about 50 degrees. I can put 3 rounds in the exact same...

Gentlemen, I reacently received a Belt Mountain base pin and I'm having a bit of trouble installing it on a Ruger New Model Blackhawk. It seems that the pin fits the cylinder snug as a bug, however it just will not clear the first frame hole (the one with the base pin latch). It goes in...

Gentlemen, I purchased a New Model Ruger Blackhawk in .357 about a year ago for my first pistol. I have been quite happy with it during the short time I have owned it. I have however wondered what could be done to it to make it a more solid feeling pistol. I come from a background of shooting...

Gentlemen, I thought I would take a little time and write about my trip to Shilen Barrels in Ennis, Texas. A buddy of mine had a Weatherby MK V Shilen barreled 338-378 that had put about 2000 rounds through and accuracy was defiantly falling off. He decided he wanted to take it back to...

Gentlemen, I have reacently been looking to purchase a Leupold VXIII 8.5-25x50 LRT (Fine Duplex) for my .300 Remington Ultra Mag. I have noticed that while trying to "price shop" for this scope that EVERYWHERE I look it's $849.99 without exemption. I am talking probably 20 dealers online with...

Gentlemen, I have reacently been tossing the idea around of purchasing a Leupold VXIII 8.5-25x50mm scope to replace the 6.5-20x40 Vari-XIII currently on it. I have been astounded at the image quality of the Vari-XIII. It was my first Leupold, but it won't be my last. Anyway, I was...

Gentlemen, I was at the range chronographing loads yesterday and got some results that were surprising to me. I was able to get 3473,3502,3507, and 3493 from my Remington 700 Sendero in 300 Ultra. I was shooting: 180gr Hornady SST 92gr of RL-25 Winchester WLRM Remington Case 3.65 OAL...

Gentlemen, I just purchased a new to me Ruger Super Blackhawk in 44mag. It appeared to be in 100% condition and shot very little since made in 1988. I have put a total of 180 rounds down the barrel and just this past week noticed that when the revolver is fully loaded one chamber on the...

I was wondering if I could safely load W231 in a 44mag behind a 180gr Hornady XTP. I have looked all over for load data and have come to the conclusion that it would be possible, though there is no data that I can find from any manufacture including winchester for a 180gr bullet. I have a...

I reacently purchased a 7.5" Ruger Super Blackhawk on from another member on this board. I have loaded up my first 100 rounds for .44 Mag and I have come to the realization this thing is probably going to be a hoss of a revolver. It does have large Uncle Mikes rubber grips, however I don't know...

I reacently turned 21 and decided I should purchase firearms insted of drinking my money away. I have been into rifle shooting and reloading for a while and this was a welcome breath of fresh air when it comes to serious benchrest shooting. I decided to go down and see what I liked best. I...

I just purchased 1000 Winchester 125gr JHP's from cabelas for $55. I was wondering what kind of performance/accuracy I should expect from these? I had been shooting Hornady XTP's exclusively but that is getting expensive considering i'm shooting 200 rounds a weekend out of my BlackHawk these...

I recently purchased a Ruger 22/45 MKIII and was trying to disassemble it after the first range session. I had it all apart, and then was beginning to put it back together. All was going well until I had to put the mainspring housing back in the rear of the grip. There is a cylindrical piece...

I am going to be dropping my new Sendero in .300 Remington Ultra Mag off at the gun smith to have him take off the decelerator pad and put on a Limbsaver. I was wondering while doing this if having the gunsmith glass bed the action would result in any noticible gains? I know the gun is already...

I have recently decided I want to purchase a big bore revolver for my 21st birthday. I have narrowed it down to either a 500 S&W or the .460 S&W. I reload so ammo cost / availability is no problem there. I have shot my best friends 500 a few times, and it's a handful to shoot with heavier...
