    12 sabot in .458

    Hi everyone, I had a look through the site(and other places) and couldn't find anything on sabots for reloading 12 gauge that hold .458 bullets, I am aware of ones that hold .452 and even 50 cal pistol bullets but I cant find any .458 size sabots. I would love to make use of these for lead...

    Keeping weapons secured while on business in Maryland

    Hi everyone I have been digging through various posts about advice for carrying weapons into and out of Maryland. I am set to go on a business trip there for 2 months. Typically I go to a location for 2 months, work there, and return home for a couple days before I fly out again. If my next...

    Savage 111 or Weatherby

    Hi y’all. I've been shooting for some time now and my favorite bolt rifle is a early model savage 110 in 243 (yes I know that fits in a short action but this model was long action only during the years it was made). It has a Farrell base on it and a Nikon Monarch 4-16 with everything epoxied and...

    Ballistic Gel testing at longer ranges

    I love seeing defense ammo tested on YouTube in calibrated ballistics gel. There are several guys who handle it well and do the science of ballistics some justice. While I love those tests, I am curious how standard hunting and/or defense rifle ammunition would fare at further ranges. From a...

    One gun to rule them all...

    Virginian, when I met him he was selling an early 90's Cooper firearms varminter in 22-250, and a mint Python. Both were beautiful and he was the original owner. I would assume he is a....."collector" as opposed to a guy who has a hodgepodge of everything. Both guys are one and the same if they...

    One gun to rule them all...

    I was at a gun show about 2 months ago and became embroiled in a conversation with an older gentleman who was selling off most all his firearms. He was explained that he had the, "one gun to rule them all" which for him was a maverick 88 shotgun. He told me that he was keeping his 1911, and a...

    Bolt action pistol VS cut down rifle

    That was a great find sam1911, thank you for showing it to me. bobwright, I see your point right away, frankly I am ambidexterous and shoot just about all my pistols with both hands. I will be looking for a left hand rifle but I would have just as much fun shooting with my left.

    Bolt action pistol VS cut down rifle

    When I sat down and thought this idea up I first looked up the total length of a striker. In short action I see total length figures from 22.5-24 inches. This made me think as that is only 2 inches short of 26 total inches in length. I hear tell that folks lob off 2 inches of barrel to make...

    Bolt action pistol VS cut down rifle

    I have heard of specialty bolt pistols( xp-100, strikers) made by manufacturers and custom jobs(Wichita arms and EABCO's pistol). I think it would be awesome to own one and I am debating back and forth between one of them and an encore(but that will be a different thread). I wanted to know if...

    If you can afford only 1 Bolt action, which caliber should it be?

    I do not, the .311 of the nagant wouldnt mesh well with a 30 caliber and the other way around. So far I see alot of 308's and 30-06's which I did expect. I had been considering 243 for weight considerations. its a tough decision, but I see the argument that 308 or 30-06 will get it done at...

    If you can afford only 1 Bolt action, which caliber should it be?

    I'm in the market to buy a new bolt action rifle. I have $400 to spend and I am set on a savage either used or a new axis or a Stevens 200. I just wanted to make that clear so no brand wars will occur. I have a 22 magnum that covers me out to 300 yards are so. it is light, accurate and I know it...

    Left handed son, right eye dominant & shoots right handed

    Either I'm screwed or in good shape...Ambidexterous in all things, no eye dominance. My folks checked that stuff early on for me and as a result they always bought a righty and lefty kids golf set (lefty was impressively hard to find I have been told), a righty and lefty baseball glove etc, and...

    Budget based .50 bmg rifles

    I have seen good reviews on the noreen. This rifle is going for I think $2800 right now. It is a single shot design with a shelholder bolt. I hear it gets 1 moa or better at 1,000 yards and each rifle you buy comes with a target that they shot a group with as well as the handloading specs that...

    Wyoming takes stand against Federal Gov't

    Cuomo's State of the State - gun control proposal

    As I understand it, the gentleman was suggesting that search and confiscation would be on the table to help solve this "problem". My comment on the subject. Good luck to you sir. You'll need it. I think he shot himself in the foot with that one. I called a few folks that I know who were either...

    Have you ever carried concealed a non-pistol?

    I cc a double edged karambit at work. I also carry various double edged and fixed blades weapons given my dress and location for back up purposes but my karambit is my favorite. It is a folding version which has a wave tab on it so as I draw it opens and is at the ready for use. My work uniform...

    Can someone lists some guns for around 200 to 250 dollars

    I would go with the hi point. Mine is the 45 model. I have had mine for about a year now and have put a good 1,000 rounds through it, mostly hollowpoints which feed wonderful. No ftf, no fte's, natta. Just lots of fun. It comes with a peep sight styled rear sight that does great for accurate...

    Copper rods and Lathe...hmm

    thats real cool of you to say Twmaster. It is nice to hear some advice minus the chiding undertones. I am a novice at machining. All the knowledge I have about blacksmithing/machining is self taught so I guess I need to look up the exacting terms because it is apparently extremely important to...
