Let me start this by saying that I come from a long line of gun nuts. We also have a hard time getting rid of things, so you never know what might have been passed down for generations... I have come across an old hand reloading tool that I haven't been able to find out much information on. It...

I've been wanting a new varmint/predator rifle for a while now. I don't need another rifle in this class, and I have a decent selection to start with. That being said a person can't have too many firearms, or too big of a selection to choose from! I also really like to reload, so a new rifle is...

I picked up this stuff at an auction over the weekend. I had read a little about the cartridge before then, but I'm not at all familiar with it. It all went for less that what I expect the shells are worth, so I figured why not, it didn't seem like anyone else knew for sure what it was either...

I've got an older Knight muzzle loader that I have probably had for close to 10 years, if not longer. It is the "American Knight" model. It is D/T for scope bases, but I have yet to find anywhere that sells any specifically for that model. I'm sure there are other rifles with the same spacing...

I'm getting ready to start the process of working up a load for my STW and want to make sure I'm not forgetting something before I get started. I'll be using either H1000 or H4831sc since I already have those on hand. I will also be using 168gr Berger VLD's. Would either of those powders be...

About a month ago I picked up a nice little Ruger #3 carbine chambered in 22 hornet. I had been wanting a hornet for a while so when I saw this I knew I had to have it. Part of the reason for me wanting a hornet was a very good deal on all the reloading components for the cartridge. For just a...

A couple of my friends have headed out to MT in the last week for a job that should last for the next couple months. They are trying to talk me into driving out for a hunt while they are there, which I have no problem with as long as there are tags to be had. I have looked at the MT fish and...

I've been kicking this idea around for quite a while and I think I've finally talked myself into making some changes in the safe... I've started to accumulate more medium to large caliber hunting rifles than I have a use for, and I would like to thin them down and buy something new. I live in...

I've pretty well decided that a Hornet will be my next center fire purchase. It's not that I really need one, it just seems like a neat little cartridge that's typically in a handy little bolt action. What would you suggest for the rifle? I don't expect this rifle to poke holes at 100 yards...

I inherited one of these rifles (can't find the magazine...). I tried to do a little research on it, but haven't come across much. Can anyone give me an idea on quality, value, etc? Thanks

I did a VERY basic test with some of the self defense ammo that I had around the house. My primary carry gun is a Colt Night Defender in 45. I've read over and over again about the 3" barrel guns not producing enough velocity to properly expand a HP, or functioning poorly. Maybe I got lucky but...

I've glot a Ruger No3 that I inherited and it appears to have been shot very little. The problem is that I can't get the breech to open. It's not corroded stuck or anything, but I can't get it open to save my life right now. Is there a trick to these that I've missed? Suggestions? Thanks

At first glance I thought this was any 12 gauge pump. Looked like an 870 to me. On closer inspection it turned out to be more than it appeared. It is made by the Mayfield Arms Co out of Meade KS. It shows to be chambered in .760 Mayfield, and to make it fun the model is "Big Medicine". I haven't...

Hey all, I've got a few Garands that are setup in sniper attire. From what little reading I've done the scopes and bases appear to be of the correct period, the serial #'s do not fall into the specified range, and I have no documentation... My assumption is that these are nothing more than...

This may be too broad of a question, but I'm gona go ahead and ask it anyway... I'm looking to get a new .22 rifle, specifically for shooting squirrels and the occasional can or paper. I want it to be high quality, walnut stock, blued, bolt action, sporter weight barrel (possibly medium, but...

The current rifle of interest is a Winchester 1886. I believe it to be a takedown rifle as it has the 24" barrel. Serial number would indicate that it was produced in 1895. Does anyone see any indication that it isn't original? Any red flags that just don't seem right? Or does this fit into...

I'm having trouble finding a good reload for my wife's SIG P238. The closest I have come to a reliable reload is in the following; -Rem brass -CCI Small pistol primers -3.3 Gr SR4756 (Max ld as listed in Nosler reload manual) -100 gr FMJ -.960 OAL With these I get a stove pipe about once every...
