While I already have a .44 and 45-70 that are more than enough for deer here in Ohio I am intrigued by the .400 Legend. I however am not excited about either the Savage or Mossberg rifles I have seen available. Has anyone gotten a chance at other rifles available in this caliber preferable bolt...

I have an older traditions sidelock that uses no 11 percussion caps. Our muzzleloader season comes in next saturday and I am wanting to use this rifle. I am using Hornady .495 round balls with a lubed patch on top of 100 grains of pyrodex select. The rifle has a 1'48" twist rate. It shoots fist...

Hey all I've been using the 147 grain smiley bullets from RMR and enjoy them and the price point I am looking for a better powder. I have been using CFE pistol and vihtouvouri N320 both around 6.5 grains of powder it's a mild load at best. I am concerned with what feels like a disparity in...

I am considering a 6mm rifle I have a number of .22 centerfire rifles and then .308 to 7mm magnum rifles. I am considering the 6 mm as the bullets are a bit cheaper to shoot and they will buck the wind better than my .220 swift. I would like to find a rifle under the $1,200 area. I am currently...

I have been working at getting consistent sub MOA groups with my Winchester Model 70 in 7mm Rem Mag. I have been tricking powder to the .10th of a grain I am running Norma brass I have had the best luck with 162 grain Eld X bullets with 61.0 grains of H4350. With this load I have shot a five...

I have a Ruger M77 Hawkeye chambered in .223. It's a great rifle that shoots well and is also a good looking firearm. It's been as reliable as a bolt action rifle can be until yesterday my son and I were taking turns shooting offhand at steel targets. I was shooting it and upon chambering a...

My 18 year old son has been saving and looking at different rifles since he turned 18 last June. We went to a few gun shows but he was unable to find the Winchester model 70 coyote light in .308 that he had settled on. So he ordered one around the 5th of February and it showed on the 10th to our...

I haven't been hitting gun shows as often as I used to. My son is interested in picking up a .308 bolt gun in the near future,what gun show preferably in central Ohio would you guys recommend. I know the Westland mall and lima are this weekend.

My daughter will be getting married in just under a month and her fiance and I were shooting with her in the range going through some different revolvers. She has always liked shooting the 4"686 and my 2.75" 66. Both of those she admits she wouldn't carry on her. That left us with her shooting...

I have a few .22 rifles that I enjoy shooting. I have a Marlin model 60 that was my first rifle it is pretty well worn out. A bolt action Marlin that is my current user. I am interested in picking up a rifle that is usable but something that's also got great fit and finish with a pretty wood...

A few days ago I was buying some lead bullets from a local manufacturer and as always I love walking through his shop looking at the different brass and reloading supplies he has. I noticed two Dillon boxes on a shelf. I asked him how much he wanted he said $300 each. I have a very old 550...

A few weeks ago I bought a Smith 66 with a 2.75" barrel new from a gun shop not far away. I took it home and sighted it in and put another 50 rounds through it. After maybe 200 rounds through it I got a double action light strike. I thought maybe the primer was a little proud and I missed it...

After a long time swooning over the smith 66 I was unable to find a used one at a reasonable price and decent condition I bought a new one yesterday. After a brief range session it shoots well double and single action out to 30 yards. I forgot to mention it has the 2.75" bbl standard orange...

I was shooting my 5" 629 about a week ago and my rounds weren't going off double action they were reloads and I thought maybe some of my old primers were compromised. They all went off single action without fail. I then noticed on my cylinder release the screw was a little loose. So I pulled...

I went to the reloading room today and loaded 100 rounds of .38 special with 6.3 grains of CFE pistol. The bullets I used were 110 grain Sierra HP. I had 6 squibs out of 10 rounds. I pulled bullets and had between 6.1 and 6.4 grains of powder. I have used the same powder in 9mm and .357 with...

I picked up a Glock 20 last winter and have been working up a load with N320 at 6 grains I am at max load with a 180 grain bullet. The rounds cycle fine but I feel they are quite sluggish compared to factory ammunition I have run through it. I wish I could find some Blue Dot but my searches...

I have recently decided to begin reloading for my marlin 1895 45-70. For the obvious reasons cost and fun. But mainly so I can load it down enough for my 9 year old son to deer hunt with this fall. any load bullet combos would be great will probably end up hunting with hornady xtp but am...

I have a 7.5" Blackhawk in.45 colt. I am going on an Elk/Mule deer hunt in montana this november. I will be hunting with a rifle but if I get close within 100 yards or so I'd like to use my colt. My issue is the best groups I can get with the blackhawk are7" at 50 yards on sandbags. I have...
