I am looking at adding a new rifle; I want a new Winchester 24" barreled rifle in 44/40 or ? Just as a nostalgia shooter, no cowboy action events or serious hunting. Just a nice addition. I have several Winchesters now, from 25/20, 32/20 in 92s to 25/35, 30/30 and 32 WS in 94s and an 1886 in...

I just bought a NIB Winchester 1886 (Miroku) in 45/90. It is a takedown model with a 26" octagon barrel. I am excited to start loading for it, I have dies coming, and I got 50 new Starline brass with it. Where should I start? Which bullet and what type of black powder? I am a little scared of...

If a feller was to lose his mind completely and get a hankering for an 1874 Sharps rifle in say 45/70, which one is better. I looked at C. Sharps and Shiloh Sharps. They both are sure handsome rifles. Could I get some feedback from shooters please. I don't want to shoot in any competition or...

California has released the agenda for the lead free regulations. Starting in2016 we will have to use LF for non game animals. I am looking at the Barnes 36 grain Varmint Grenades for squirrels and 50 grainers for coyotes. Does anyone have any experience with these projectiles? I am hoping since...

Went to the hay fields this morning, shot over 300 rounds of .223, .220 Swift AI and .243. Happy Memorial Day, honor to all veterans.

Well I had to, it has been around 60-65 degrees around here lately. I got a little cabin fever, so I loaded up around noon and went to a spot about an hour from my house. Yup, sure enough, a few pdogs were out and about. Windy when I got there, but not too bad, I thought as I was unloading my...

I just got an email from Powder Valley, they said that Hornady discontinued the bullets that I have had on backorder and they will be cancelling my order. If Hornady quits making the .257 117 RN bullets, I guess I will have to start casting something as they are the only manufacturer that I have...

A guy at work is selling an Austin and Halleck .50 bolt muzzle loader, I have never heard of these but looked on the internet, they are out of business. Anyone have any experience with them? My issue would be parts availablity. It seems like a well built rifle, but should I pass on it and look...

I went out shooting the other day with the kids (25-30 y.o.) and their friends. Shoot what you brung. I have decided that I still like my old K frames way better than any of the new plastic autos. After shooting several of the new autos (and looking for spent brass) I drug out a couple of Smiths...

I have a Remington 700 .25/06 that I think was made around 1995 or so. It has a black synthetic stock, blued 24" barrel. It has about 12" of fluting just in front of the forend. Can anyone tell me what model it is called? It has a hinged floorplate. It is not an SPS style stock. Thanks.

nyone else encounter this?

I had my .25/06 rebarreled to .257 weatherby. I have 11 boxes of 115 nosler partitions left over, does anyone have any pet load data for this combo? I have tried IMR-7828 and RL-22 so far. I love the velocity, noticed the difference absolutely at 400 yards! Thanks in advance for any help.
