I've temporarily been living in Oregon from Arizona. I head to Indiana next week, long story short I don't have room in or to set up my press and my box trailer leaked a bit. My dies have a very slight amount of rust on them, can I just give them the baking soda and tooth brush treatment like my...

I know a lot of guys use CCI primers, I just never have. The only primers left at the local Bi Mart store here in Oregon was CCI450 small rifle. I use wolf small rifle magnum primers for 223 loads with no problem. The lady was insane at the store and insisted if I buy these 450s and load them in...

Has anyone installed a Wild West trigger on their 1894 Marlins? I'm considering buying one from Midway, they're pretty salty at about 90 bucks plus shipping. They have good reviews though. I'm just worried about how hard they are to install. I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to taking apart...

I'm interested in casting and reloading sabot slugs. Can a Lee Reloader do this? I load rifle and pistol already, I don't have a clue in shotshell stuff though. Sabot slugs are just too expensive to spend 3 bucks each on for midwest shotgun only hunts. I see the Lee system is cheap, will it...

So my DPMS AR15 that doesnt have but 200 rounds thru it is jammed up. I can not get it for anything. The bolt is locked forward, you can see the ears on it are turned so I cant get it any further forward, etc. I've tried turning them, slamming the but stock and pulling back on the handle etc. It...

Mods, if this isnt the right area please move, sorry if I'm wrong. I am trying to find a way to get out of Oregon. For more than a few reasons I dont like it here. There is a likely chance I can go to upstate New Hampshire soon. I've heard good things about New Hampshire, but didnt know if...

I just bought a new 1894 Marlin, but it was made in the old factory and by the serial number I believe it was made in 2006. Overall I love the gun, but there are some machine marks on top of the bolt that I'm considering polishing out. Is this very hard? Are my risks of messing it up very bad...

I picked up one of the new gen Henry Big Boys in 357 the other day. I put some rounds down range with it today. The only ammo I had readily available were some of my 38 cast semi wad cutter handloads. I was very suprised it cycles them with out much fuss. After a few sighting in rounds I was...

I've decided to pick up a 44 lever gun to plink and hunt with back in my home state that just started allowing cowboy cartridges a few years ago. I want to be able to shoot commercial cast bullets out it. I've heard the marlin micro groove doesn't like the 430 bullets which I have thousands of...

I had an itch to add a 22 lever gun to the arsenal, I picked up a Henry 22 at a local place and wow am I impressed. This thing is a tack driver! We had a little friendly competition today a few friends and I. Shooting milk jug caps at 40 yards I was hammering them, shooting budweiser cans at 40...

Hello, I'm about to make a big order on powder. I've been researching 844 that I found on wideners website. has anyone used this? I plan on loading it in 223/556. I know with surplus powders you really have to work a load because they're different lot to lot. The price is pretty tempting to try...

I'm looking at purchasing a dillon case trimmer, and swage. It is a lot of money though. The only reason I'm thinking its the way to go is that I'm going to be using it for 223/556 brass. I've loaded tons of straight wall pistol cases and havent messed with rifle stuff yet. Is this the best way...

Just so new people know that haven't ordered from them you can still order. I emailed Brad and asked him about it. It might not be to much longer, but as of now you still can. He did say they are going to switch to the new plan but haven't yet. Only posting because a lot of posts lately were...

I usually get on the trading post and look for desent deals on there. I used to sell a lot of brass on there as well. Stuff I'd get free and had a ton of. I cant figure out why people buy once fired 357 mag brass on there. Its never at a resonable price in my opinion. Does 70 dollars for 500...

Howdy, I bought a used 629 and am giving it a good cleaning. I don't shoot a lot of jacketed bullets, so I basically only have ballistol on hand to clean my guns. I put my bore light in the bore of this gun after cleaning it and its caked with copper. Patches were comin out clean so ballistol is...

I am trying to figure out how to store some of the components I've purchased. I dropped a lot of cash and think I'm good to go for a long long time. I'm content on powder staying in my closet, I've heard that you need to keep powder at a constant temp. What about primers? I have them in card...

Im not exactly sure what model it is, but my room mate has a Smith J frame, hammerless in 357. I have an XD tactical 5.5. I believe I paid 550 for it, and have 5 or 6 magazines with it. I just dont like the xd. I'm more of a glock guy when it comes to the polymers. Do you think its worth the...

Sense the day I heard Ruger was making a 1911, and watching hickok45 shoot one on his YouTube channel I wanted one. I recently moved to OR from AZ and was bummed I couldn't find one in AZ. Today in a small Oregon gun store I finally found one. Man is it pretty! Proud owner of this made in...

Hello, Im considering putting in for a transfer to Greenville, IL. Its right in the middle of IL on I70. It would put me closer to my home town near Terre Haute, Indiana. I live in Phoenix, AZ now. I was wondering is all of IL crazy on gun laws? Or is it just the Cook Co area? I really want to...

Well I made a post about a DPMS a buddy of mine has. Well I was wrong, it is a bushmaster ar10. He wants 800 for it, thats what he paid on a super sale on a no tax day. I see them going for 1000+ now. So Im hoping that even if i hate it I can get my money back selling it off. It does not have...
