    5 shot revolver enough against 5 robbers

    73 year old store owner stops robbery.From ASP. This is NOT to suggest anyone should rely solely on a 5 shot. It was enough in this case and shows having a firearm is key to winning a gun fight. Of note is the police were there before the robbers got away, but the near presence still wasn't...

    Number of rounds used in defense going up?

    While I own auto's I am a revolver guy at heart and usually carry one. I have been looking at a lot of real life shooting channels on YT lately. While more prevelant in officer involved shootings, seems like a lot of semi-auto shooters are treating their pistols like "bullet hoses" just putting...

    Broke tube on RCBS powder measure

    Title says it all. The green tube snapped off the powder measure. I was thinking of cutting it straight, chipping out the old plastic and re-inserting. Just wanted to check with the community for other ideas.

    It ain't the pols, it's the press.

    "I knew a very wise man so much of Sir Christopher’s sentiment, that he believed if a man were permitted to make all the ballads he need not care who should make the laws of a nation, and we find that most of the ancient legislators thought that they could not well reform the manners of any city...

    Looking for a portable reloading table

    I live in a small house and have recently repurposed my reloading area. Therefore need a strong but collapsible table. I use a single stage Rock Chucker for 30-06 & 30-30. Probably 600 rounds a year. Figured there must be others who have come up with solutions.

    Mass Shooting Correlation or ???

    I've been alive for a few circulations of the Earth around the Sun. While not a conspiracy theorist it seems when gun control legislation is introduced there appears to be a higher number of shootings that are reported. We've had 3 mass shootings happen in the last 3 weeks. Has any research...

    How do you ship powder?

    Not sure if this belongs here or in loading. Please move it if it should be. How do we ship a pound container of powder if we don't have a hazardous materials shipping license?

    Tell us about your cheap, old, accurate rifles

    I saw on another thread a guy talking about a great group he got with an older affordable rifle / scope combo. I have a 1980's Ruger M77MKII 30-06. Usually a good hunting accuracy. I bedded with JB Weld. Put on a cheap ($79) Bugbuster 4x scope and have found it surprisingly accurate. Here is...

    Leupold Date codes

    https://www.leupold.com/leupold-core/core-knowledge/faqs#WhenWasMyScopeManufactured When was my scope manufactured? Every Leupold scope produced since 1974 will have a letter included in the serial number acting as a date-code. Scopes manufactured prior to 1974 will typically have a five or six...

    30-30 Accuracy

    Wrote this for another thread but thought I'd start another. What works well in yours? I looked at my spreadsheet data from Marlin 336 w/20" barrel and Leupold 2.5x20 scope: All 100 yard, 3 shot groups. (Disclaimer-While these loads are safe in my gun, they may not be in your gun.) Sierra 170...

    Making 30-30 170s out of 150s

    My rifle shoots 170s better than 150s and the preferred load of 170 Remington Core-lokts are scarce as hens teeth. I have 2 boxes of 150s and 2 170s. I took 2 Rem Core-lokt 150s and 2 170s apart. Powder was the same, and measured 35grains for the 150s & 33grains for the 170s. One at a time...

    Sighting 30-06 4" high at 100 or 320 yard zero for deer

    I was wondering if anyone sights in high for deer. With my load 4" at 100, it has maximum rise of 5.7" at 190 and zero's just shy of 320 yards. The theory is you can aim at the heart for shots out to 320 yards and place it in the vitals. Similar to Maximum Point Blank Range, but allowing...

    New M77 30-06 Hawkeye Hunter Going back (or not)

    I posted a review here. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/new-ruger-hawkeye-hunter-30-06.857261/ As stated in the review, initially the bolt felt like 300 grit sandpaper but smoothed out after a while. During that first range session the bolt was a bit tight but the rifle shot...

    New Ruger Hawkeye Hunter 30-06

    Ruger just came out with a new model called the M77 Hawkeye Hunter. This model comes in 6.5 Creedmoor, .308, 30-06 and 300 Win Mag. I am reviewing the 30-06. Sorry no pictures though I posted a link at the bottom of the review where you can see it. This is a new model which is named similarly...

    Ruger Guide or Remington 7600?

    I am considering a new 30-06 this hunting season. I've narrowed it to a Ruger Guide Gun or Remington 7600 (either 18.5" or 22") but leaning toward 22". Max range of the places I hunt is 250 yards. But most of the time it's Pennsylvania woods with shots well under a hundred yards. Reasons for...

    Anyone only have revolvers?

    Title kind of says it. I have owned both and last year bought my first Glock. It's ok. Kind of like a new Accord or Camry, goes every time just nothing to get real excited about. I did have my wife and one of her friends, both rarely shoot and then usually revolvers try it and they both had...

    Wiley Clapp GP100 or Speed 6 ?

    I have a 2.75" Stainless Speed Six in very good condition. Just bought a 3" Wiley Clapp Stainless. I know this sounds strange, but I don't feel the need for both. This is a general car / carry gun. I have a good belt / hoslter system for each. I actually carry a 4" GP more often than the Speed...

    Can only keep one-which one?

    I've found my self in a position where I am contemplating selling most of my handguns. If you could keep only 1 which had to be your everything gun, carry (including Summer), home, back-up while hunting, which would it be?
