I have not been to these shows, and wondered if there has been a difference in participation or vendor presence between the April and November shows. I am thinking about going to the November show this year. Thx! Nando

Although I have been shooting and reloading rifles, handguns and shotguns for over 40 years, including competing in all three disciplines, I have never had any experience with black powder weapons. (As I just recently learned that the later are not considered firearms?) I am now considering...

One of my Christmas presents was a Tikka T3 Lite .300 WSM rifle. (It included the scope rings, by the way, and they are of the 'short' variety.) To start breaking it in, I installed an old Simmons scope that I was not using. Now I am considering a Burris 4.5-16x32 Short Mag Ballistic Plex...

Santa Claus will be leaving a new Tikka T3 Lite .300 WSM under the tree tonight. It will also leave new Redding dies and some brass, together with a couple of boxes of Winchester .300 WSM (180-gr) to get started. After I break in the barrel with the commercial Winchester ammo, and preliminary...

Hello folks, it's been a while since I visited THR (too much work!) but I am back... I have already checked the TSA and specific airline regulations, and I can meet them OK. As a matter of fact, I flew from Missouri to Texas recently to shoot in a match, and then brought the guns back with...

A co-worker was taking about his adventures with his Barrett .50 cal rifle. I arrived when the conversation already was underway, but gathered these bits: he uses 186-gr bullets, and has chronographed them at over 5,000 fps. Since I did not know what had been said before I arrived, I did not...

I was planning to go compete (HP Service Rifle) this year for the first time, but had conflicts. All I can do is to go Saturday and Sunday 4 & 5 August to look around and see what it is all about in person. I understand that there usually are a number of vendors showing their goods, but...

A reviewer of the Lee Classic Turret Press included this comment: "...The 4 hole turret has a space for my Lyman 55 powder measure (using the 7/8x14 drop tube adapter) and this improved my loading speed." Does anyone know what this "7/8x14 drop tube adapter" is and where I can buy one...

I have been using carbide dies for reloading .45 ACP and it is great not to have to lubricate the cases. (Yes, I tumble the cases first, and it is nice not to have to pick the media from the primer pocket!) But I was under the impression that bottle-neck cases had to be lubricated...

My son (CW3 US Army, UH60 Pilot) is home for two weeks from his third tour in Iraq. In one week he will go back to Iraq for another six months. He is stationed at Fort Hood, so he and his family live in that area in the great state of Texas. I bought him a Springfield XD-45ACP and was...

I am considering ordering a rifle from R&R Arms in Bemidji, MN. (To ship to my FFL dealer.) http://www.rrarms.com/index.php Has anyone dealt with them - your experience, opinions? Thanks!

I don't have a clue of how long it will be before this comes to past, but I am glad that at least someone is thinking about making such a movie. << Entire article here:>> http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2089-1892675,00.html Alex

I have been reloading with an RCBS Jr Press for many years, and I am now ready to buy a progressive press, either an RCBS Pro 2000 or a Dillon 550B. Here is what I do now (batch process): • Rifle (.308 & 30-06 for target; .223 for Hi-Power matches) 1. Dunk empty cases in can full of...

After having bought, tried, and returned to the store a couple of pellet pistols in the $75-$85 range (CO2, 8-shot magazine, different styles), I have decided to go to the next level and spend $150-$200. The cheaper ones I tried were: A. Undependable operation; missed feeding pellets...

Went to see it last night with my wife, and we really liked it. The story of a formerly violent man who has changed his way of life, but is forced back into it. It is well written and acted. It moves a bit slow at times, but it sets the mood for the 'new' man's way of life - rather bland...

I'm in the process of organizing my ammo in a new cabinet, and wondered if there is a preferred way to store the boxes, clips, etc. Given a choice, and whether the ammo is in boxes, clips (that is, 5 or 10 round stripper clips), Garand enblocks, and even loaded magazines, which is better, or...

WW1 ! No Joke - Authentic photos - awesome! There are about 47 pictures - all are good; some are great. Enjoy http://www.bigdandbubba.com/nicknacks/color_photo_was_invented_in.htm Alex

In 1988 I bought a small, 9mm pistol for home defense. It felt comfortable, was inexpensive (around $300) and I was assured, by the gun shop owner, whom I trusted, that it was a reliable firearm. I shot 100 rounds to check the sights, which were right on, and to establish that it worked as was...

I am not a fan of shooting a handgun from a rest, and the only times I have done so have been to evaluate and compare handguns and ammunition. However, I do not believe that I know how to shoot from a ‘rest’, as I end up shooting just about the same as off-hand. Granted, from the rest I...

First Range Report – DPMS New .308 Steel Magazine I received one such magazine earlier this week and another one is yet due. Preliminary Assessment - As Received (with dummy rounds): 1. I couldn’t load more than 16 rounds into the magazine – no way, no how. See Note 1. 2. Magazine...
