I am looking at buying a new compound for for deer and turkey hunting and target shooting. I have narrowed it down to the Diamond Outlaw, Bear Mauler, and PSE Brute X. What are your opinions on these three bows and which one would you recommend? Thanks for any input.

I recently purchased a Kimber Stainless Target II 10mm 1911. I want to put in a heavier recoil spring than the factory 18.5lb one. Can I use 45ACP 1911 recoils springs or not? and do I have to replace the recoil spring guide rod if I use a 45ACP spring? Is there such a thing as a 10mm 1911...

I am planning on buying a new medium-bore CZ 550, either an American Safari Magnum in 375 H&H or an American in 9.3x62 Mauser. My question is: how does the accuracy compare between the two rifles? I'm not talking super long range accuracy, but out to about 300yds or so. If anyone has experience...

I am considering buying a BLR 300 Win Mag and rebarreling it to 416 Ruger. The calibers have the same case heads, same diametere at the start of the case body, and same COL. My questions are: has anyone ever done this? and are there any possible problems with this idea that I am overlooking...

What are your opinions on Shilen barrels? I'm considering a Select Match Grade. Do any of you have experiences with Shilen barrels and if so how's the accuracy?

I recently found this sight when looking for custom Encore barrels: http://www.matchgrademachine.com/gunshop/home.php My two main questions in regards to their barrels are (1)What type of accuracy do they produce? and (2)With large magnum cartridges, such as 416 Remington Magnum and 458...

I am looking into buying a 22-250 Ackley Improved barrel for my T/C Encore and was wondering how to obtain brass. I can't find any Improved brass for sale on Midway or any other website, so do you fire form the brass or how do you make it? Also, how much more powder and velocity can you reload...

I've got a box of Fed 215 primers, but one load I was looking at called for WLRM and another for Rem 9 1/2M. If I put Fed 215 primers in instead, do I have to alter the powder loads or won't it change the pressure much? Thanks.

I have become interested in some of the new guns on Mauser's website. Where are they sold in the US? I tried to find a website that had them for sale, but I couldn't.

I am looking into buying a Thompson Center Encore Pro-Hunter rifle frame and some barrels for it. What I am wondering is: do the 28" Thompson Center Encore Pro-Hunter rifle barrels work on their Pro-Hunter pistol frmaes? Thanks.

I've had a few people in the last week comment on my preference of single actions over double actions, so I was curtious if most of your revolvers are SA or DA.

I load my own 10mm ammo, so it's pretty stout. I've seen multiple times now that velocity spreads aren't as wide with a stiffer recoil spring, so what is a good quality and reasonable recoil spring for a Glock 20? Thanks.

I decided to attempt necking down 10mm brass to 9x25 Dillon today with Dillon's three die 9x25 die set. When I run the case in, I can feel it stop when it gets to the portion of the die that would neck it down. I lubed the cases, but am still getting a lot of resistance. I tried pulling on the...

I always hear other reloaders refer to primer flattening. Is that in reference to the edges of the primer or the area around the firing pin strike? I am wondering because some 10mm loads of mine had a flaatened rectangle around the the strike area. Is this due to the firing pin style of the...

In my reloading so far, I have used only RCBS dies in my RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme press. I am now looking into reloading 9x25 Dillon and Dillon is the only manufacturer that makes dies for that caliber. Therefore, my question is: Do Dillon dies work in my press? Thanks.

I have been looking into purchasing a high caliber target rifle (not quite sure what caliber yet) and was wondering how much does a few extra inches affect velocity. For instance, with 50 BMG rifles it seems like most are between 29" and 32". How many fps would the extra 3" add? Also, a lot of...

I am planning on using my new 500 S&W for deer hunting this year and would appreciate some input on what bullets would be best for whitetail deer. I wouldn't be using it for any shots that are longer than 25 yards so long distance performance isn't an issue.

I have decided to purchase a 300wsm and I have it narrowed down to a Tikka Lite or a Weatherby Vanguard Series 2. I am aware that the Series 2's haven't quite been released yet, but based on experiences with regular Vanguards and Weatherby in general, would you guys recommend the Tikka or the...

I have been planning on ordering some 700gr bullets for my 500 S&W and finally got around to it but I couldn't get the site to work. I have tried the Ranger Rick's Bullets link in my favorites and the link to his site on a google search but both just bring up an error message. So I was wondering...

So far, everything that I have bought for reloading equipment has been RCBS and I have had great luck with it. But I am looking at getting into 460 S&W reloading and I can't find an RCBS shellholder for it. Does RCBS make a 460 shellholder and if not what brand do 460 reloaders use? Thanks.
