    Favorite powder for 25-06

    Like the title says, what is your favorite powder for the 25-06. Not looking for data, just the best powders. My first range session was with H-1000. OK results, not as good as I hope to get. Next session may be with IMR 4350 Oh, the rifle is a Tikka T3 lite, with a Zeiss 3X9X42 scope.

    Lee classic Turret

    I was loading some .357 today and was getting tired of the long stroke on my classic turret press. I was wondering if anyone has shortened the risers to reduce the stroke for pistol calibers? Looks like I would only need to shorten the risers, and modify the advancing rod. Asking here before I...

    New Super Blackhawk

    I just purchased a new Super blackhawk in .44 mag. Do I need to clean or lube before going to the range? My last single action was a single six .22/.22mag I traded in 1981. The action seems smooth enough, but I cleaned the ejector rod area and greased it, its much smoother there now. Just...

    Youth shotgun

    Looking at a mossberg 20 ga in synthetic, and a rem 870 in laminate. They are priced within $5 of each other. 20 yrs ago it would have been no question. Today, which is better quality. This is for my oldest grandson, but the younger one is 4 yrs younger than him,and I want to get them the best.

    Connecticut Arms 1850

    My brother was given a very old percussion revolver marked on the cyl, "Pat. Sept. 10th 1850". on the barrel it is marked "Connecticut Arms". He is sending me a pic later tonite. The only thing I find on Connecticut Arms is about a bulldog derringer. I don't think it is CVA as it is very old...

    Falling with a gun

    Last night about 11:30 my dog was barking, so I picked up a flashlight and pistol and walked out to see what he was barking at. Now I live in a suburb, and its not unusual for my dog to bark, he can come in or out through a dog door. So when he continues to bark, I go check it out. So I sneak...

    .22 bullet from 1 mile away?

    I think this is just the press being misinformed. I don't think a .22 lr is capable of this kind of damage at the range of one mile. Most likely a .223. I shoot at this range myself, they have a high berm but someone being careless could shoot over it. Looking at the map of his home and the...

    Chl on school grounds

    In Texas, is it a violation to carry concealed on a school playground? When i first took the class and became licensed to carry concealed in the mid 90's, we discussed in class you can carry on the grounds, but not in the buildings. Reading PC 46.03 and 46.035, I am confused whether I can carry...

    High speed video of bullet impacts

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfDoQwIAaXg&feature=player_embedded I searched and couldn't find this on this forum. Watching the impacts and the lead vaporizing makes me wonder about indoor ranges. Anyway this is cool.
