    Favorite Caliber Polls

    After responding to all of the favorite caliber polls I thought it would be cool if anyone had an example of all of the winners and posted a group picture of them. What do y'all say!!!

    Shout Out to RMR Bullet Company

    I recently made my first order from RMR. I've seen them mentioned on several of the forums that I belong to and thought I would give them a try. Their website acknowledged unusually high traffic and extended shipping times. My order arrived in about a week. Communication was good and so was the...

    Cooper Firearms of Montana

    I just got an Email from Nighthawk Custom that they have bought Cooper Firearms and will set up shop in the Nighthawk facility in NW Arkansas. I see this as a good thing for Arkansas but I'm a little sad for Montana.

    Bad Powder

    Well, for the 2nd time this month and the 2nd time in my life I have found bad powder! :( The first time was a couple of weeks ago when my oldest Son and Grandson came over to load. It was a plastic bottle of VV powder that had been opened and was less than 20 years old. He says that it was...

    I have been thinking about buying a high end 1911 and I'm pretty serious about a Nighthawk. So, what do you have? I'm open to other suggestions.

    Gun Boxes

    I am just curious about who saves the boxes that your new guns come in? We are looking at a move in the near future and in the process of cleaning out the attic I ran across several gun boxes. I know that a lot of buyers like having the box. So, who saves them and who don't? Whats your...

    A bullet question for the Elk Hunters

    My youngest Son will be going on an Elk hunt this fall and will be taking my Sako 300 Winchester Magnum with a Leupold 3.5-10 scope. The Guide says shots from pretty close out to 400 yards are usual. What bullet would you'all recommend? I've never hunted Elk but I have good loads for this rifle...

    Cartridge Collecting

    Some of you may have seen post from me in the past discussing cartridge collecting. Some of you may have even donated to my collection. (Thanks) Anyway, I started about 6 years ago, when I retired. I started off just wanting a loaded example of as many different cartridges as I could find. Its...

    Strange 380 Case

    I deprimed a tub of range brass today that I have collected. Some of the 380's felt funny, or different, when I ran them through my Lee depriming die. The head stamp is GECO and looking into the case there is a ring in the bottom around the primer. Between the primer and the case wall. Almost...

    More Ammo Storage Questions

    This topic comes up pretty often and I've seen some neat ideas. MTM plastic boxes, Military ammo cans and kitchen containers from Walmart all seem to be popular and work well as do repurposed plastic food containers. My questions are mostly for the reloader that uses ammo cans. #1-Do you put...

    Lesson Learned-------Odd 223 Brass

    I've got a Prairie Dog hunt coming up and we will be shooting out of ATV's so there is a possibility of loosing some brass. I decided to prep a bunch of my odd ball commercial and military cases for the trip. I resized them, trimmed them, deburred the flash hole and uniformed the primer pockets...

    To The Brass Hounds

    I'm finding more and more cases from the lesser known or even new makers. Yesterday I picked up Barnes, Perfecta, and Aguila. Is this the new norm? The Barnes looked like quality brass but it was a caliber that I don't load. I find a lot of FC with crimped primers in 223. I think Aguila is...

    A Question for The Safe Professionals

    I've been needing to bolt my safe down, and have not done so. My question is: Do you need something under it to promote circulation? Maybe a 1x4 on each end, something low enough that a pallet fork won't fit under it. Looking for the pros and cons. A rash of thefts in the area where the whole...

    Thinking about another Rifle, Comments Welcome

    I just looked at a used Remington 700 in 300 AAC. I don't remember the letters that are in the name! Its has a blue finish, has a Hogue stock, a short fat barrel, and has a thread protector. I know that it is a pretty limited caliber, unless you are shooting suppressed, which I plan to do. I'm...

    applying case lube

    What method does everyone use to apply lanolin/alcohol case lube? I am trying the Dillon lube for the first time, and am using a gallon zip loc bag. I did not like the cookie sheet that they recomended. Its kind of messy, but seems to work ok. Thanks. Lightman
