    Rabbits with a .17 HMR

    Got 3 rabbits with my .17 HMR last weekend. Two head shots, and one in the chest. No meat damage at all even on the chest shot, and they dropped right on the spot. Getting slow cooked, pulled and covered in some sweet and spicy mustard. Great on a bun.

    Messed up ar barrel

    I recently came into an AR upper with a linear comp on it. It looks like the guy who owned it before tried to pin the comp on to make it 16". First thing is its not welded, so it would still be a SBR. Second is the pin goes through both sides of the comp and protrudes across the bottom of the...

    New Glock 26

    I picked up a new gen 4 Glock 26 last week and got out to try it out this weekend. I put about 125 rounds through it. It would fail to feed at least once per mag for the first 50 or so rounds, then only once or twice the rest of the time and worked perfect by the end. Not worried about that as...

    1911 trigger question

    So I just picked up a new Remington 1911 the other day as I sold my old one a while back when i needed money and have been missing it. If I pull the trigger, then let go of the safety before the trigger thry will bind and pop free loudly. Guess i never noticed it on my old one was wondering if...

    7mm SST

    Anyone know why you can't buy them in the 120 gr version? Hornady sells the 139 and up for reloading but the 120 is only available in their 7-08 custom lite loaded ammo..

    Is this brass bad?

    I was reloading some .45s the other day and after sizing and expanding my brass I noticed at least half of them were cracking towards the mouth of the case within the top third. The cracks range from really obvious to having to scratch it with a pin on the inside other wise you couldn't tell...

    Springfield XDs

    Been looking for a smaller pistol for ccw. I carry a full size 1911 right now but looking for something that will conceal better for the summer. Was looking at the Lc9, P3AT etc. then I saw an XDs in 45. Another 45 would be handy as I already reload it.I have heard mostly good things about them...

    Loading lead bullets

    Just picked up a box of lead 230gr rn bullets for .45acp today. Haven't been able to get them to seat right yet. The case will always shave some lead off which is sticking out around the bullet. The rounds won't chamber without difficulty and when I force the slide closed it will be very hard to...

    Bad day at the range

    Picked up some 30-06 dies last weekend and got a box of ammo loaded this week. Went to the range this morning and wasn't real impressed with what I got. I used IMR 4350 powder, Hornady 165gr interlocks, and once fired Fed brass with CCI primers. Loaded 5 each of 56.5, 57, 57.5 and 58 grains of...

    Beretta Neos

    Pick up a Beretta neos the other day and while I have to say I still think it is a butt ugly gun it feels great and shoots great. Is a ton of fun. Going to be putting a red dot on it one of these days. Runs great on the cheapest ammo which is a big plus. Edit.. Had a problem assembling it...

    Which new handgun?

    Trying to decide between a Glock 19 or a 4" Ruger GP100. Always thought a revolver would be fun but lately I've been feeling a semi auto. The Ruger is a little cheaper and maybe a little easier to reload for not having to chase brass around. The Glock is a little more expensive but cheaper to...

    South Dakota deer season

    If you haven't heard South Dakota is having some deer die off from EHD and unsold licenses are being removed in some counties. The state is also asking for hunters to return their tags for a refund if they want to. I got drawn for my deer tag this year but haven't received it yet. I wasn't sure...

    7.62.54r varget loads

    I currently have varget powder I use for my .223 and want to load for my Mosin with it. I can find loads for .308 bullets but I have some sierra 150grs which are .311. Wondering if the same starting loads work or not. I've found 42 to 47 to 50grs for a .311 starting load. Anyone have an idea as...
