    Scope mounting question

    I recently mounted a Bushnell .22 rimfire scope on my Marlin model 60. I *thought* I had tightened the screws down pretty tight. When I sighted in last week at 50 yards my best 5 shot group was barely over an inch across. Today I took it to another range and was shooting at a distance of only 25...

    New to hunting in Washington

    I am going to learn to hunt this year and am looking for some info/advice. I am in my mid 30s now, and have wanted to learn how to hunt since I was a kid, just never had the opportunity. I plan on getting my hunting license this January. I have taken the online exam, and just need to take the...

    Self defense vs predatory animals?

    As some know from my other posts here, I am planning to learn to hunt very soon. I am probably going to start on squirrels and/or rabbits. I was in a gun store yesterday and overheard someone talking about having a close encounter with a black bear while deer hunting. I got to thinking what...

    Questions about small game rifle

    I am thinking about getting a .22 caliber rifle for hunting small game such as squirrels or rabbits. I want something that is accurate enough to get teh job done, and reasonably reliable. I need to keep costs as low as possible though. I saw a Marlin 60 with wood stock, stainless barrel, and...

    Nuisance animals?

    Let me give some background before my question. I am wanting to learn to hunt, but what I have read about hunting on public lands is not very encouraging. I know someone that can teach me to hunt, but I have been wondering how to go about getting permission to hunt private land, without having...

    Case Cleaner

    This thread is only about chemical case cleaners. If you use a tumbler I am not interested in hearing about it in this particular thread. What I *am* curious about is chemical cleaners, how they work etc. I had read in a thread somewhere else that tumbling brass with fired primers could increase...

    Press lube?

    What do you use to lube the ram and other moving parts of your loading press(es)? I have been thinking about using Dupont Teflon Multi-Use spray. It worked great for keeping my motorcycle chain lubed when I was still riding. I am curious if anyone knows how it would work as press lube?

    First batch of ammo tested(Long)

    Well I just got back from the range, and I think it was a pretty productive visit. I brought pictures too, though I cropped the targets to only show the areas that have bullet holes to reduce the size of the pictures. Sadly my camera doesn't do close up work well so my pictures of the case...

    Working up a load?

    I am new to reloading. I am also not a great shot. I started reloading so that I could afford to go to the range more often. At 25 yards I can barely keep all of my shots in the black on a 2'x2' target. At 7 Yards my best 10 shot group(2 hand grip no rest, stock sights Beretta 92FS) is just over...

    Die adjustment question

    I seem to be finding conflicting information about adjusting Lee carbide sizing dies. Even video on the Lee web site seems to contradict the pamphlet that comes with the Lee press I bought, which also contradicts the ABCs of reloading. The contradiction in the ABCs of reloading I will ignore...

    Primer question

    I finally found some primers. I was so happy I just bought them thinking "any small pistol primer should be good". I got winchester primers though and I was reading the box and now I am not so sure. On the box it says "Handle one at a time;NOT in bulk or primer feed devices." Anyone know whats...

    Skeet vs Trap? newb questions

    I have fired shotguns a few times, but only at stationary targets. I am curious what the difference is between skeet and trap shooting. Also I have a friend that has been talking about going skeet shooting, but is hung up on the fact that he doesn't own a double barrel shotgun. He keeps telling...

    Single stage press?

    I have been wanting to get into reloading but am on a fairly limited budget. Is there anyone out there that has recently upgraded from single stage, to a progressive press? If so would you be willling to sell your (working) used single stage press at a reasonable or low price to help a fella get...
