My friend is thinking about a bolt action 30-06. He's new to centerfire rifles and wants to get in the game inexpensively. He'll be using the rifle mostly for range, but some hunting. He wants to use iron sights, so the rifle must have them. :) Clean used would be fine, I'm sure. What...

I have a .17 Rem rifle... cute little thing, built by H&R on the little Sako action. The new .17 rimfires interest me, and I've been wondering if it's possible/feasible/reasonable to make .17 Rem loads that will about duplicate them. ie, velocities running 2000 fps rather than 4000 fps...

The Colt Single Action Army is my favorite handgun (along with the 1911 which is also my favorite). I love them, I shoot them several times a week. Every year I think it would be nice to have a holster for them... just like I used to see on TV as a kid. :p These look good to me...

From time to time I read books on Colt SAA's and they often suggest reloading the rounds with black power for maximum authenticity. I've fired rather a lot of black powder over the years in muskets, rifles, revolvers and pistols. It is filthy. :) It's fun... but let's face it, it's...

Interesting! http://www.flicklife.com/1f374f9a673790102560/Sharpshooter.html

I have a Star 31P which I bought primarily because it promised brute strength and longevity. The gun literature of the time, plus letters I wrote to 'knowledgeable experts' in the early 90's confirmed that this pistol continued to work at rental ranges long after others had faded. The pistol...

How many of you have a bullet trap set up in an appropriate place in your house, perhaps the basement? What kind do you have? What calibers do you shoot in it? How often do you use it? I have one and I'm curious to know how normal/unusual that might be. :)

I remember reading years ago that the Astronauts had pistols aboard on the Apollo missions. The idea, as I recall, was not to repel moonmen or space invaders, but as a final option in case of some dark and desperate (but very human) eventuality. Supposedly, the pistols were .45 cal 1911's...

I was reading the Tenth Edition of Cartridges of The World and was astounded to see the following entry under .375 Winchester: "The .375 Winchester is a fine deer or black bear cartridge and would probably also do well on heavier game such as moose or brown bear. Whoa! .375 as a moose...

I'd like to cast some bullets for rifle. I'm thinking 30-30 and/or .375 Winchester. This is just for fun and some informal plinking and target. I've been casting for handgun for 20+ years I guess. I use the Lee sizing and TL method of bullet prep, even for bullets that are not the TL style...

I seem to be shooting a lot of .45 Colt these days. My load is 6grn of Red Dot under any bullet of 255 or less. My usual bullet is the Lyman Keith bullet. I use the Lee tumble lube method, and Lee sizing dies too. That's the way I started 20 years ago, and stuck with it. I use the Lee...

I've been reloading .44 Spl, and shooting them in my Colt SAA. My load is the usual 5.3 of 231 behind most any bullet, in this case Lee 240 Grn TL bullets, and Lyman 240 Grn Keith bullets. The brass is Remington... from 246 Grn LRN factory rounds. I've reloaded this brass from 1-5 times...

I went to buy some primers online today and was shocked to find that what I want is out of stock most places. :eek: But I'm seeing Magtech Primers. Frankly I've used these, or even heard of them. Does anyone here have any experience with them? Perhaps on a Dillion machine? -StrikeEagle-...

Just now I was shooting my Colt SAA, 5.5" .45 Colt Gen 2 Revolver. As I was shooting a startling thought crossed my mind... you see, I have an identical SAA in .44 Special. Suppose... just suppose... I accidentally loaded a .44 Spl round in my .45 Colt? Please understand that it has NEVER...

I've been looking at the ads in Blue Press for the Toters Dungarees... with a built-in pistol pocket/holster thingie. These look great to me. :) Has anyone here tried them? http://dillonprecision.com/template/p.cfm?maj=45&min=0&dyn=1& What do you think? :)

I apologize if this has been posted before, but I did a quick search and didn't see it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQpUw5Burl0&mode=related&search= Looks good to me. :)

... or is it just a bunch of media hooey? http://www.socalhtcia.net/cellphonegun.asp Seems just very weird to me.

I'm pulling the bullets of some bad 30-30 ammo. My plan is to reload them with the same powder and bullets after adjusting the charge weight. My question is this... is there any need to resize the necks? Or will the neck tension still be ok after inertially pulling the bullets? What's...

My Ruger Redhawk would give me light firing pin strikes... maybe 1 or 2 out of 6. This happened with ammo that was NO problem in any other gun I have. I sent it back to Ruger on March 23rd and got it back May 4th. And it works now. :) So... six weeks. Not bad. They packed it up nice with...
