    My 138 year old Swiss Vetterli

    I've been playing around with my old Swiss rifles for about a year now. I went from having one to having 4 of them in just about every model except the carbines and M1869. looking for a carbine currently. Getting the rifles was easy but making the brass from 8mm Lebel took basically a whole...

    6.5 Grendel loads with AR comp

    I was trying to work up a load with 6.5 Grendel for my rifle. I’ve got a 24” barrel and was looking for a good target load with a 123 grain bullet. There is not a lot of information on AR comp loads for 6.5 Grendel. From what I could gather 27 grains was a good place to start. However after...

    Time to buy a CZ-75

    I shot in a steel match for the first time today. Despite it pouring rain and shooting while standing in an inch of slick mud It was a lot of fun. I have a lot of experience shooting pistol but never made it out to shoot in a match before. I had no issue hitting the steel and my target...

    Springfield Range Officer in 9mm: Finicky but good.

    Picked up this pistol a few months back. It seemed like a good way to break into more expensive target pistols. I might have to spend a bit in modifications but it would still not brake the bank. So far I've been very impressed with it. It's certainly accurate. I'm getting better groups with it...

    Berthier 1892/M16 at the range.

    I've been interested in French firearms for a long time and finally got into reloading 8mm Lebel recently. So I took my M16 carbine which is just a few years away from its 100 year anniversary out and did a video on its history and some of the more paractical things about owning a reloading for...

    Experimenting with 147 grain 9mm

    I've been playing around with range loads using 147 grain bullets from Missouri bullet company and results have been pritty good. Acuracy is about the same as my 125 grain loads and recoil is very light. It makes from very easy and quick shooting. I've been using 800x and tight group powder so...

    Sig P938 One of the best carry guns available.

    About a year and a half ago i was looking for a new carry gun. I always carried snub nose revolvers, maybe a Makarov once in a while. I had owned a few small 9mms including a PF( but was never impressed. I was going to buy a S&W airweight but I noticed the P938 at the gun shop and decided to...

    Rossi M92 .45 colt things to consider.

    So I've ran into a lot of people looking to buy a lever gun lately. Mostly do to changes in my states hunting laws concerning straight walled cartilages but also just because people seem to be interested in them. I own a number of lever guns but I thought i would talk about one in particular in...

    .45 Colt rifle loads?

    So I was at the range with my two favorite calibers today. I had my .45-70 which preformed wonderfully as usual. Giving my AR-500 target a run for it's money at 100 yards open sight. I also had my new Rossie M92 24" barrel out for it's first trial run. It was dead on accurate after a bit of...

    Am i about to make my gun go boom? Not in a good way.

    So I took the forums advice from my last thread on IMR 4350 that I just got my hands on out of the blue. I attempted to load some 30-06. I have a question if you don't mind. I just tried loading some 30-06 with this powder. My Lyman reloading book puts the starting load at 52.5 grains...

    IMR 4350 Useless?

    So I had a relative that is getting out of reloading due to age and health. I got a lot of his stuff but he dropped off a case of IMR 4350. Not a can but a whole CASE of it. I love free stuff but I don't know about this powder. I have no idea what this is used for and none of the cartridges i...

    FEG Browning Hi-power copy in 9mm. Not the Real deal but still a good buy.

    So I've always loved the Browning Hi-power. The design is a bit out dated and it has it's problems but i still love it. It's one of my favorite guns to bring to the range and I've never been disappointed by one. So when i saw that i could get a surplus Hi-power for $300 I jumped on it. Now the...

    So I was cleaning/restoring a 100 year oldStevens favorite No.17 Model 1889 for a friend. It was very badly rusted when I got it but after a week of working on its actually looking much nicer than I expected. I was able to save the finish in most places except over the hand guard and the left...

    WZ-48 .22LR Military Trainer

    I had seen these rifles around at gun shows and listed online but I never got around to picking one up. I have so many .22 rifles it's hard for me to justify buying another one. Yet somehow I always end up with another one like an addict that can't kick the habit. So now i have a WZ-48. The...

    Star Model Super B and some Some misconceptions.

    Did a video on the Star model super B and some misconceptions about them. I own two of them now and I love the pistols. However I've seen a lot of misinformation about the star pistols. The misunderstandings seems to come from the fact that there were three different models of this pistol...

    Black powder guns and lethality/power.

    I've always been interested in early firearms and their use and I own quite a few black powder firearms myself. So I'm always surprised to see the myths that pop up about these guns. I keeps seeing people perpetuating the myth that black powder guns were weak and inaccurate. Now i can deal...

    Marlin Model xt 22: Good potential bad execution

    I had one of these guns fall into my lap recently and although I’m happy I got it for free I thought I would put my thought about it out there in a review. I would say the upside of this rife is that it is quite actuate. The trigger is great and at 25 yards I was getting very good groups. After...
