Shot a milk jug full of water, and the 55 gallon drum it was sitting on jumped over two feet in the air. Not sure why, but it sure looked cool. Here is a link to the video: http://youtu.be/ktQd6iiCNJk

It's been over two years, but it's finally done. Here is the original post I made on this rifle: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=605965 Final specs for the rifle are a 21" barrel and 8 3/4 lbs. Test fire video is a 900 grain bullet with 160 grains of IMR 4350. Started at 140...

I have a 629 Mountain Gun that recently developed a problem. When cocked into single action, if the trigger is pulled lightly the hammer will decock instead of firing the gun. A heavy pull to the trigger, and of course double action always works. Tried swapping out the mainspring and the...

Just wondering how we should compare the energy of two different cartridges. Seems like no matter what rounds you are talking about someone always has to bring up Buffalo Bore or similar ammo to prove theirs is more powerful. This applies to any two rounds, but for example lets look at 45 Colt...

Picked up a 3/8" rifle rated AR 500 steel target. Wanted to see if it would hold up to the kind of guns I shoot before I bought a bunch of them. Started off good: 44 Magnum 240 grain lead semi wadcutter at 1309 fps. 454 Casull 340 grain lead semi wadcutter at 1383 fps. 500 S&W...

Anyone know of a good solvent to remove aluminum fouling? All the normal copper solvents just come out clean, but I still have visible fouling in the bore.

I only have five 45s, and am thinking it's time to get another. I have two 1911s, two revolvers, and a HK USP. Would like another 45 just to have another option to take to the range. I mainly collect military pistols, so there aren't many options in 45. Police use would be okay though. So...

Just tried out some 100 grain aluminum bullets in my 460 Weatherby. Used 110 grains of H110. I've got to try shooting some of these at night because even in broad daylight the muzzle flash is amazing.

Anyone have any recommendations for a good powder measure for charges up to 170 grains? I was looking at the Lyman #55, but the new ones are getting some pretty bad reviews.

Bought this gun yesterday. Partly because it was cheap, but mainly because it has the original officers badge number engraved on it. I'll have to ask some more questions because the guy I bought it from says that he knows the officer it was issued to. The serial number is N47xx, so I think it...

Looking through my collection I'm realizing I don't have enough of the early auto pistols. Thinking about getting more and just wondering what everyone else has and likes. Pictures please. :)

Just picked up a Type 56 pistol. The guy I bought it from claims that some NVA and VC officers had their pistols chromed. Don't know if that's true or not, but it is non-import stamped and made during the Vietnam war. Also it's not obvious in the pictures, but there is quite a bit of holster...

I'm trying to figure out how to come up with a starting load for a bullet with no published data. I have QuickLoad, so I'll have a general idea of what is going on. Just trying to figure out a safe starting load since H110 is not suppose to be reduced beyond a certain point. Does anyone...

I keep seeing posts about striker fired pistols and it seems that striker fired is becoming synonymous with Glock. Looking through my collection I found eight striker fired pistols. The HK P7M13 is my favorite. How about everyone else?

For a couple years now I've been loading a moly coated 340 grain lead bullet with 40.5 grains of H-110 for my S&W 500ES with 2 3/4" barrel. It's a nice load and throws a pretty impressive fireball. I was happy with this load until three things happened recently. 1) Shot some factory...

Trying to figure out what when wrong with my reloads. I had loaded up 50 rounds of 40S&W and 50 rounds of 10mm the night before. The 40 was a load I have shot about 50 or so rounds with no problems. It's a 140 grain lead round nose loaded to 1.125 oal with 6 grains of 700X. Got the data...

Trying to decide between these three choices: 12 Pellets - 00 Buck - 1325 fps 15 Pellets - 00 Buck - 1210 fps 10 Pellets - 000 Buck -1225 fps I am putting an ammo order together to replace all my carry and home defense ammo. The handgun ammo is an easy choice, but I have no idea on the...

Just thought I'd share. Had a lot of fun and didn't do to bad either. See video: http://youtu.be/tV2JXVWX3VU

Just wondering what calibers everyone has on their CCWs. Feel free to check as many as you actually currently carry.

Convinced my gunsmith to build me a 600 Overkill. Building this gun strictly to get the maximum amount of recoil. I have a 460 Weatherby that I use as a range time fun gun, but it's just not impressive enough. See video links: http://youtu.be/8CQz0hIZPhs http://youtu.be/qB8P4-R3L-Y...
