So I bought a melting pot, and went to a chain tire shop and asked the guy for some old wheel weights, I got about half of a five gallon bucket full and went on my merry way. Later I went back and the guy told me that he got in trouble for giving me the wheel weights because the company has...

So I've recently been gifted a muzzle loader that is not 50 cal and while I can still buy the ammo I figure that I might as well start casting my own bullets, both for the muzzleloader, and in 9mm. So naturally I have a few questions. With a muzzleloader how big do I want the diamater of my...

How often do you check your powder load and OAL, and how do you check (visual, scale, etc.)? Every round? Five rounds? 30? 50? 100? And why do you feel that it is a good interval to check on?

So this is the load I've been using. 115 gr TMJ 9mm Unique 5.1 gr OAL 1.140 My problem is that in my G19 the brass only gets sent about 2 ft away. So the brass it getting out, but not by a lot. In my CZ P07 however, the brass feels like it is just barely making it's way out, the brass...

So it will still be more than two years before I can get a CCDW license, but I will often carry a firearm with me around the house or when I'm on our property. Now in the past I've always carried at the 5 o'clock position, and it's always worked just fine. I've decided that I might as well...

Some say yes, some say no. What's your take?

While browsing various reloading webstores I've found that there are quite a few who sell "pulled" bullets in a variety of configurations (FMJ, HP, Rifle, Pistol, etc.) and weights. Where do these bullets come from? :confused: Are they recalls? Factory rejects? Surely there's not that much bad...

Howdy all. So, yesterday, about a year after I first decided that I wanted to reload, I have finally set up my press, got my components, and churned out my first 50* rounds of 9mm last night. But before I go out and shoot them I'd like to ask all you seasoned reloaders if there is anything in...

When walking through the local Bass Pro Shop reloading section I found that they had Bullseye powder in stock. Now normally I wouldn't buy something like that from them since it seems like everything in the store has about a 30% markup vs online and smaller local sellers. However I had a gift...

So, I was recently lamenting to a friend on the cost of magazines for CZ P07/9's. Now he has to make business trips to lots of cities in Europe several times a year, and he mentioned that he may be able to get them significantly cheaper at some place in the Czech Republic (or elsewhere in...

Howdy everyone. I don't know about all of you, but for me, and all other Kentuckians tomorrow is the opening day of modern gun season for whitetail deer. Earlier this year I wrote a short story describing opening day to some of my non-hunting friends. I was told that it was an enjoyable story so...

Hello everyone, right now I am in the process of getting a workspace set up to start reloading in. It's probably going to take a month or two, however in the interim I am working on acquiring the components and equipment needed to begin. Now it seems that the only cost effective way (short...

So I've been thinking about this lately and I was hoping that some of you guys here would be able to help me out. Last year I bought a T53 Mosin. I put some 150gr PPU Soft Point Boat Tail ammo in it, and took three deer. Now I'm wondering if I should make some changes in regards to my ammo...

So I'm a minor. Now sometimes when I look around in a gun store and ask to handle a firearm the person will promptly ask, "are you 18/21." At which point I reply "no" and simply content myself with viewing through glass. On other occasions at different gun stores when I ask to look the...

Hi, I was talking with a relative of mine who recently got into deer hunting. He lives in North Carolina, and I was shocked to learn that in his area of the state he had a 1-2 month modern gun season, and only a 1 week archery season. This got me wondering as to the season lengths for deer in...

Hi guys, this was something I stumbled on last night, and I thought some of you would enjoy this. In the video they show this entire village in Pakistan which is a gun market. They have 8 year olds making boxes upon boxes of 7.62x39 and all these men making guns by hand with crude machinery...

So my Uncle is wanting to buy a rifle. He probably won't be doing any hunting with it, but that's always a possibility. He said that he'd like to get something semi-auto (I mentioned Bolt Action Mil Surps, and he wasn't to hot on that idea), in a rifle round, with its main use probably being as...

Howdy all. I'm hoping to get into handloading soon. The reason being, that I want to be able to train more. And after doing some research I've come up with a list of the products which I will need/want. I'm hoping to get some input and answers to some question from other reloaders before buying...

So I went out shooting the other day, and it was my first time to put some buckshot and slugs through my gun, I only shot about 5-8 rounds, but it seems that my support hand was taking most of the recoil force (due to this product), , and not my shoulder, and now my wrist is only just starting...

Howdy all, a few friends and I are going out shooting this Saturday. We plan in sighting in our hunting rifles, patterning our shotguns, and shooting skeet (just from a hand thrower). I was just wondering if anyone has some suggestions as to different games one could play to spruce up the fun a...
