So I have been working on developing an accurate hunting load for my Tikka Forest in 30-06. I shot various factory ammunition to determine which which bullet weight and type it seems to like. The 165 grain range stood out with federal fusion, Remington corlokt and HSM 168gr berger all coming in...

I have a Browning X-Bolt Hell's Canyon Speed LR, it is chambered in 6.5 PRC and I mounted a 5x20 Trijicon on high Talley light weight bases/rings. I did lightly lap the rings and made sure the 2 piece bases where lined up. When I went to the range to sight it in I ended up using all but 1 MOA of...

I live in Iowa where the 350 legend is legal to hunt with this along with the reloading potential of the cartridge pulled me in so I picked up a Ruger American figuring the subsonic bolt action with a 250gr+ .35 caliber bullet would be the cats meow. I am primarily a shooter more than hunter...

I purchased a Winchester Supreme Select Sporting over 10 years ago and have shot various clay games with it over the years. I probably had around 3000 rounds through it, not much for an O/U. Almost a year ago I noticed a decorative piece that covered the space between the barrels had come loose...

I have my great grandfathers Remington 760 in 30-06 and have read that it is suppose to be an accurate rifle, I have not experienced this yet but hope to soon. Mine has the forearm support plate that touches the barrel so it isn't a true free floating barrel as many describe, mine actually...

I have been shooting my Uberti 1858 New Army with a 45 Colt conversion cylinder. I have used 250 gr Cowboy loads (Factory Loaded) as well as some 200 gr hand loads using Trail Boss. The gun groups great when I do my part, but the point of impact is about 1" left at just 7 yards with both loads...

In Nov. of 2011 I was involved in a bad car accident, I was in the white car pictured. My NV300 combination lock was damaged in the accident but I was able to repair it with some epoxy and it worked for years. About 6-9 months ago the lock stopped working and I was unable to repair. I contacted...

Well I decided to get a .22 pistol and settled on the CO2 2240. I like my 1377 but get tired of pumping and even at 10 pumps and magnum pellets it has trouble swinging my auto reset target. I have to say I like it a lot, very easy to cock and shoot. It isn't nearly as loud as i expected and...

Shot my 1858 Remington cap and ball revolver again this weekend. Everyone likes pictures so I thought I would share. I haven't played with it much yet. Still need to try different charge weights and compare the lubed wad vs. bore butter for accuracy. It is a new production Uberti and has a...

This morning after shooting at a local indoor range with frends, modern smokeless guns, I decided to stop by our local outdoor range and try my new Uberti SS 1858 Remington in .44. All I can say is I am hooked, it is probaby on the top of my list for fun guns to shoot. I used FFFg black...

Is it normal for nipples to be over sized? It seems to take 2 hammer strikes maybe 3 out for 10 tries the rest being set off as expected on the first try I am pushing the caps onto the nipple pretty hard. Can I just take some emery cloth to the nipple and take a little off?

I tested some 357 magnum load over the chrony the other day and was disappointed with the extreme spread. I used Standard Small Pistol Primers, should I have used Magnum with AA#9? I know the amount of crimp can effect this as well, I crimped as firm as I felt comfortable with without crushing...

Using Hodgdon Longshot and 165gr Rainer Plated FP bullet, OAL 1.125, I got the following results, temp was about 90*F. Charge Avg. ES Std Dev. Firearm 7.1gr 1013 24.8 10.8 PX4, Pistol 4" Barrel 7.1gr 1299 70.8 29.6 CX4, Carbine 16.6" Barrel 7.3gr 1038 34.4...

In September last year my forearm cracked near the forearm release latch while shooting sporting clays with my 10 year old Winchester Supreme Select Sporting O/U. I contacted Winchester and once it was in their hands they agreed to fix under warranty:). 6 months later I get my shotgun back and...

I have loaded some test rounds up to the Hornady max of 15.5gr of 2400 with their 140gr XTP bullet. My Lyman manual used the Speer 140gr bullet but list a max of 16.5gr of 2400. Seems like a lot but I would like to push the 140gr XTP a little faster than 1250fps which is what I estimate I will...

I assume that I have pretty hard bullets, 158gr LSWC purchased locally at a LGS. I asked about the hardness I got a blank look, so I asked if they were harder or softer that wheel weights, and was told the were right at the hardness of wheel weights. My guess is they don't know and simply needed...

I am thinking of putting a Marbles Tang Sight on my Winchester 9422. The down sides as I see it are having to drill and tap a screw in order to mount and he cost associated with the installation and purchase of the sight. I could just go with a skinner receiver peep sight and save money and keep...

Has anyone ever done business with Selway Armory. They have some ammunition in stock that I am interested in but I don't know anything about them. Another company that has the same ammo in stock is I.Q. Metals. If you have heard of either I would be interested in feedback. A Google search on...

Looking for thoughts/advice on the model 60 in 357 magnum with a 5" barrel. I have been looking for a 4" 357 for use as a home defense weapon but also a trail gun and fun range gun. I would like to teach my wife to shoot at some point and she liked the trigger on my 642 j frame. Would a model...

I starting to reload for my Remington 760 Pump Action Rifle, chambered in 30-06. I decided to start with 165gr BTSP interlock bullets with an OAL of 2.235, this is 0.030 off the lands. I am working up from 54.1gr to 58.8gr increasing the charge weight by 1% at a time. At 58.3grains of H4350 the...
