Ok I just took my brand new Witness Match in 10mm to the range. I can tell this gun is gonna be a tackdriver once I'm used to her but I did have some feeding issues. Specifically, one time upon ejection the gun kicked out an empty and a live round at the same time. Also had two or three FTF's...

I have some Cast Performance 395gr hardcast gas checked bullets coming from Grafs. Anybody got a good load for this bullet using H110 or 2400? I'll be using new Starline cases and CCI Magnum primers in a 7.5" Ruger SRH. I've been loading the 240gr and 300gr XTP Mag for the .454 for awhile but...

Recently bought a Taurus PT145 NIB that I was hoping to become my new CCW piece. Did a lot of research here and on other sights and the reviews were quite favorable. I took it to the range today to put some rounds through it. Total jamomatic! It fed the first three rounds I put through it and...

Thinking about picking one of these up for CCW. I like the Straight Eight Heinie sights on the Pro version. But if I buy it for CCW I will want to put night sights on it. I've been researching this pistol and have heard that it is hard to put night sights on it. Are night sights easy to install...

Anybody buy any of Tapco's FAL magazines lately? I know they aren't in new condition but do they work and are not full of rust? Most places have them for around $5 but if I can score them cheaper than that I'm all for it.:)

I just got my first blackpowder pistol, actually two. SOG has some boot pistol replicas in and I took a chance. Doesnt' even say the maker besides saying that a safety manual is available at Navy arms. I am totally clueless as to how to shoot blackpowder. It is a .36 cal and already bought a box...

I just recently started reloading and have been enjoying it immensely. Of course the more I do the more questions I have. One of the calibers I reload for is the .454 Casull. So far I have just been using Hornady XTP bullets, 250gr, and 300gr magnum with light loads of Titegroup and medium to...

I just got a reloading set and dies. I've read about turning 284 Win into 7.5 Swiss instead of paying out the wazoo for Swiss brass. Question, I've read that it is best to anneal the cases. Should I anneal before I full length resize or after resizing or can I hold off until after a few firings...

I'm about to get into reloading finally and just want the basics, I don't have the time to shoot very much right now. Will the Lee Challenger press handle rifle rounds? I've heard great reviews on pistol rounds but some say it won't handle very many rifle rounds. I will use it for 30-06, 7.5...

I was wondering how do you figure dealer discounts through Midway? I have a C&R license and finding Brownell's discounts is very easy but I haven't figured out how Midway does it. Would like to get some reloading equipment and was trying to figure out if Natchezz or Midway has a better deal

Anybody have any reviews or opinions on this rifle. Found a wholesaler who has them under $600 and it has gotten me a little interested in the big bore possible future Africa hunting trip bug. This round seems to have a good following and can be loaded light and work well on smaller animals like...

I know that the ATF is going to start enforceing the non-sporting :rolleyes: importation restrictions at the beginning of January. I thought that this mainly just made it illegal to import the barrels with the parts kits. Now I've heard that we can't import recievers like the Imbel's for FAL's...

Of the three milsurps generally regarded as the most accurate on a rifle to rifle basis, with a high enough production for most budgets to acquire : Swiss K31, or the Finnish M39, or the Swedish Mauser 38/96? Please forgive me Springfield 1903 fans, but most of the real accurate ones usually had...

Want to put some glass on one of my K31's to see just how accurate these rifles can be. Don't want to go over $200 on the glass since the gun wasn't even half of that. Probably use one of the side mounts so I can use a traditional scope. I've seen scout mounts that go in place of the rear sight...

THR members, I need a little advice. I have saved up and am going to order a M1 Garand by tomorrow from the CMP. I've decided between the USGI field grade for $395 or the Greek Springfield Service Grade for $500. Mainly I just want a Garand to have for it's significant historical value and for...

Been redoing the stock and reblueing the finish on one of my K31's. This is the third I've done and I believe I'll make a good gunsmith's apprentice:) . Anyways I've been using the Blue Wonder blueing instead of the regular cold blues with great results, less mess, easy to apply and the finished...

I live in Texas. Do any fellow Texans on this board know if putting detachable mags on SKS's is legal. I've heard yes and no depending on who I ask. I know their generally not as reliable as the fixed 10rders. Friends usually ask this question and I was wanting to know the answer myself. If they...

I have an opportunity to buy a BFR in 500S&W for a little over $500. Is this one of those can't miss out on opportunities or should I spend the money on a M1 Garand? :D

Got my SHTF ammo all stockpiled up and have been looking for some dessicant packs to put in the ammo cans. Been to Wally-world, Sears, Sportsmen's Warehouse and others. Can't seem to find these packets anywhere. Sportsmen's had the blocks that can be dried back out, they're way to big, that's...

Starting to get my SHTF ammo supply fully stocked :D . Anyways I was wondering where fellow THR'ers get their dessicant for ammo storage or is it wise to invest in a vacuum packer of some type. Probably keep it rotated every 4 years or so. Kept inside currently in a mostly air conditioned...
