    Handloading with 168gr Amax in30-06

    I saw an old thread with this subject. Figured I'd get responses that were newer and the same. Went to the range last week with 1885 Highwall Single shot Browning and my new acquisition Carl Gustaf Sauer 3000 both 30-06. Changed scopes from Tasco to Nikon on 3000 it shot right on with Tasco, but...

    BUYER BEWARE! & Scopes on the lower end $

    Since most of the threads dealing with this seem to be old. So I am going to put in my $.02. I own nothing but Nikon scopes Monarch to .22 Prostaff. I've paid from $150-550 for them and am very satisfied. It would be nice to own a Steiner or Carl Zeiss for the glass quality, I'd rather sink my...

    AR 15 Bolt Carrier Group

    I see where there are different bolt carrier groups, made from different types of metal. The more expensive the faster, not prone to heat, the better. I ordered some Molybdenum disulfide for some of my rifle barrels. Makes them slicker doesn't react to heat, doesn't mess with the rifling, makes...

    Sig X-5

    I'm researching an X-5, which is claimed to be as accurate as P210. What I have discovered it is made in 5 & 6" barrels, with the 6 lesser $ than 5. I see you can get an adjustable trigger to go from 4 to 2 lbs. four lbs. would be fine, but I went to my LGS and squeezed the trigger on the...

    It may seem like a newby when my XDs blew up in my hand. Any way my handloads for 270 win. had to be manhandled to seat and close the bolt in Remy 700.

    Gotta triple check

    Practice drawing and double tapping at least once a week. Thursday at the range my XDs 45acp blew up. I already waited about 3 mos to get it back from SA for their recall. Anyway I thought it may have been a double charge. Today I weighed 90 cartridges, what was left after the range. Pulled the...

    Remy 700BDL

    Fresh out of the box my 270win shoots way high and way right open sights. Made this purchase to replace my 700ADL in the same caliber, I gave to my son ages ago. My ADL was a tack driver, if I could see it got a bead on it,I'd nail it. Since they don't offer the ADL with iron sights I went BDL...

    Funny thing happened

    on the way to the gun show it wasn't there. So I drove to the LGS and purchased a nickel N Frame 25-5. I have a 625-2 and I wanted a Smith in Long Colt. The original is "Model of 1988", so I didn't look up DOM. To make a short story long "N9 040xx". 6"er little help on DOM. Thanks

    this time they're PINK

    Using sonic cleaner for cleaning brass. One time they came out looking like they were case hardened, you know like the frame of a Colt SAA. This time they are pink and it appears the actual brass is flaking off. Did a web search for pink cases and most of them said it was lemon polish or fix it...

    Brainfart 45acp

    Reloaded using Power Pistol 45acp 230gn jhp and rn. Also used several types of brass. My powder measure(hopper) became unadjusted. So I ended up with different loads. weighed the whole cartridge, brass weighs diff. between manf. so some of these may be hot. I tossed the heaviest. My starting...

    Baby Eagle 9mm trigger question

    ThE trigger has more travel than I'm used to, it goes on and on. I fedexed it to MR for $95 and got it back witha note saying they put 30 rnds. through it. It is still the same. I called and questioned them and what I was told my other guns didn't do that because they are SA. One is a Colt...
