Thinking about getting a lever gun and have no experience with this caliber. I know about the thin neck. Cowboy loads probably 200-205 grain lead most likely Unique powder.

I inherited this commemorative set in the walnut presentation box. A couple of years ago, I noticed one of the nipples had some slight rust on it so I removed it intending to clean in up and reinstall it but got distracted and now it is lost forever in my maze of crap. I would like to replace...

I have been considering a lever rifle in a pistol caliber and keep coming back to the Henry Original. Like a moth to the flame. My purpose besides just holding and looking at it would be fun target shooting at 100 yards or less. I don't expect anything close to a tack driver especially with me...

I am a handgun shooter for the most part and do not hunt or shoot my AR past 100 yards and that is on more or less level ground so please humor me on this. I was watching the movie Joe Kidd the other night. There was a bad guy up on some rocks who was shooting down on the good guys with a...

I loaded some 124 grain 9 mm Nosler Sporting Hollow Points with HS-6 because I have the powder and was trying to work up a load. I bought some Federal HST standard 124 and wanted some range loads at more or less the same velocity rather than shooting up the more expensive stuff. I have a...

I tried this on a whim. Figured it supposedly cleans baked on food and leaves your dishes sparkling clean so why not brass. I was using Dawn with a little Lemishine but no mater how much I rinsed it or how I dried it after about a day it would tarnish and would have some sort of residue spots...

I have wanted a three inch for probably 30 years and regret not picking up the US Custom Service new when I had the chance. I was really unsure about S&W after reading about the horrid lock, barrels being canted and crappy triggers but I decided to take a chance. I knew it was a different gun...

Does anyone have one of these?

The lanes are fairly narrow at the indoor range I frequent and I was wondering if the handgun muzzle needed to be to the side of the unit or if it could be above it. When standing, it would have to be pretty high off the table and would block part of your forward view. I was wondering if it...

I know next to nothing about shotgun shells and was wondering what the difference is between regular shot and buckshot. I am sure it on the internet but I would rather ask people who can actually explain it. I am asking as it relates to a defensive round.

I have looked and cannot seem to come up with a manual that shows how to disassemble and replace parts on a 92. I want to understand how the gun operates and how to replace wear parts if needed without taking my gun apart and screwing it up. The AGI DVD and manual is apparently based on...

I bought one of these for .223 for $65 delivered and got it in about three days. That isn't cheap and I admit it isn't something you have to have but I think it is pretty neat. I have and will continue to use my Wilson gauge but the Sheridan is supposed to be more or less SAAMI minimum...

I have an older 92F not an FS and I cannot get it to reliably feed my 147 grain XTP reloads. They feed fine in my XDS but not the 92. The 124 grain feed fine and I have no other issues with the gun. I have tried slightly changing the seating depth but it doesn't seem to make any...

I am breaking in a 1966 Colt Government that had never been fired so we are talking a very tight gun here. I bought a couple of the Wilson mags and when loaded with eight I get a lot of resistance when I try to insert them into the gun. I don't try to force it. I have left them loaded with...

I am just curious if a stainless revolver will show signs of holster wear. It isn't important but just wondering if it can be polished out. Wear on a blued gun seems to add character to me.

This is just a curriosity question. I imagine that competitive shooters are very picky with their ammo loads. I have also heard that they use different neck tension to get a more precise release if you will. I am assuming that if this is the case the neck tension will be less than...

I just bought the standard two die set and am wondering if my seater die might be defective. I have just sent Redding a message. My seater stem does not screw in all the way. When I try to look into the die body, it looks like the threads go for about an inch, then there is a gap of about...

I am a low volume reloader. I use a single stage press a build one round at a time so high volume loading is not my deal. I hadn't reloaded .223 in twenty years or so and at that time all I ever saw was commercial brass. I dusted off my gear and decided to load a few and then I met for the...

I was at Fort Benning the fall of 69 waiting for a school to start and volunteered for some weapons testing. I believe it was for NATO but that isn't important. We fired the prototype XM-103 or 203 which was the M-16 with the grenade launcher underneath which was pretty cool. We never saw...

Unlike many on this forum, I only own four hand guns and they are all just regular plain models. I am not taking about engraving and such but I see guns in display cases that are really nice looking. I cannot give you the model but I have seen several Kimbers for example that are multi...
