I currently shoot trap and sporting, with the occasional round of skeet to mix it up. As I am progressing, I'm trying to decide if I should spend the money on an over under, or upgrade/replace my current semi-auto. Is there any intrinsic advantage to one system over the other? I know that the...

Short background, I recently have gotten into the clay sports. I picked up a used Winchester Super X1, a high 4 digit serial, and as far as I can tell all original. Great shooting gun, but a 30" full choke barrel isn't exactly the greatest option for sporting clays or skeet (though it sure ink...

I recently purchased a Super X1 off of gunbroker, the seller advised the bolt would only partially cycle when fired, not ejecting the hull. I received the gun yesterday and broke it down to clean it. The buffer appeared to be in good condition, showing very little wear. The return spring...

Been loading metallic cartridges for a good while now, just started to look into reloading for shotgun. If my math was correct the other day, I was looking about 28-30 cents a shell loading trap/skeet loads. Does this sound about right? Is anyone getting significantly better costs? That...

I recently on a whim went and tried skeet for the first-time last week. Big mistake as I'm pretty hooked. I shot with my Mossberg 535, which I bought years ago and converted over to a 20" SD/HD gun. I did however keep the 28" barrel which I used for skeet. As I plan on keeping my Mossberg...

I have about a half pound of Pyrodex left over that is rather old, but will still light off (eventually). Is is possible to mix it in a charge with actual black powder (by volume of course), to use it up and go a little easier on the holy black? This would be for plinking, nothing where I'm...

So I recently have had time to start shooting my first flinter. As know very little about flints, can anyone make a recommendation on what to look for in flints, and where are some good sources? Thanks!

Just trying to verify that my intended test range will make it out to 1000. Can anyone with quickload run .308 Winchester - 178gr Hornaday Amax w/ IMR 4064 with a starting charge of 39.5 up to 41.5 and reply with the muzzle velocity? I have found a very good accuracy node at 39.5-41ish, but I...

Can anyone recommend a source for check weight for smaller beam scales. For example a 50gr, 25gr, 10gr, 5gr set or something similar. Thanks!

I've become quite fond of my PX4, and think I'm going to move it into the full time carry rotation. I was looking at: https://www.berettausa.com/en-us/ra-holster-px4-f-s-blk-lthr/e01120/ however I igured I'd see if anyone had any recommendations. I prefer leather over kydex for IWB, but it's...

So the LGS had a full size PX4 for sale at a price that would allow me to resell it for a profit if I didn't like it. For a long time I hadn't been interested in the PX4, something about the look just didn't do it for me. However I had recently seen a few video of Ernest Langdon shooting the...

So I recently acquired this: It's a Jukar from Spain, in fairly rough shape. The lock was so dirty it wouldn't hold full cock, and the barrel is either double/triple charged (or possibly has about 5/6 balls in it). Stripped it, and it will be fine after some cleaning and minor adjusting of...

I'm looking for suggestions here. I have a couple of target loads that do well in my 4" M19, that just aren't working in my 686. I know the 686 shoots reasonably well, with 125gr .357 mag Winchester Gold Sabers, benched and single action it'll will do around 1.5" at 25 yds. The best I'm...

So I know we have some folks on this board who have shot at a very high level in PPC. I'm hoping to steal a little a of their mojo:evil: Currently I don't bother to tumble as our range at work is concrete so the cases are barely dirty. I don't clean primer pockets, and I don't trim the brass...

It's the time of the year where a man's heart turns to thoughts of revolver underlugs. Well mine do at least. I'm looking for suggestions on reasonably priced underlug revolvers to add to the fold. Yes I know I can go for a 586/686 or a Python, but I'd like to keep it under $300 if possible...

I was out shooting my FAL today, seeing what it liked ammo wise as I haven't put much through it. Fortunately it seems to really like Monarch 147gr from the local sporting good stores, which is about $8 a box. It groups quite nicely, with only minor windage and elevation differences compared...

Well sort of... Fundamentals of Ammunition Renovation 1957 US Army Training Film If you fast forward to around the 6 minute mark they start breaking down and reconditioning 2 part shells. At around 14:40 they break down a 90mm shell and recondition it. I thought most here would find it...

The change to optics in Service rifle a few years ago disgusted me enough I took a few seasons away from Highpower (that's a rant for another time). I've decided to start shooting again, and stop worrying about what anyone else is doing, and just get back to having fun. On the rack of possible...

So I'm looking at purchasing a bolt gun in 5.45x39 (don't ask why as I don't have an answer for that question). The major issue is feeding it, as with surplus ammo accuracy is nothing to write home about. With new manufacture 5.45 it does quite well, and I'd like to see what I can do by...

I picked this up yesterday at Cabela's, and paid $169 before tax. Got it home, and set it up. Setup takes maybe 10 minutes tops and thats reading all instructions and setting the trimmer up. Pro's It's electric - no more cranking, pulling etc It's sturdy - if you are using this in any sane...
