Ok. So I recently started reloading for my Yugo M48 Mauser, and am looking for the opinion of the learned folk here at THR. I'm a bit concerned about possible high pressure signs in this brass. First, here is the load I'm using: Rem Brass Hornady 150GR SP bullet 47 gr of Accurate 2015...

Ok. I've run into a bit of frustration here. I've been trying to work up a load for my MN 91/30. Here's the basic components: Sierra 150gr SP bullet (.311") Wolf Gold Brass CCI 250 primers Accurate 4350 powder All the firing was done at 25 yards to get a feel for the loads. Last week, I...

So I finally had the opportunity to go try out some of my rifle loads for a couple of Mil-Surp rifles. A Yugo M48 Mauser, and a Mosin-Nagant 91/30. The Mauser performed relatively well, but I found a couple of loads that seemed to be more accurate. I'll be focusing on those loads to find...

So I managed to get a smoking deal last week. Over 2000 pcs of .45 ACP brass, mixed headstamps, range pickup, for $60... Still counting it all out and separating out the AMERC brass as well as a few different sized pieces that I don't need for the recycle bin. Here's what I need help...

Or at least upgraded it. I picked up a workbench from Lowe's about a year ago and had bolted on my Lee Classic Cast press on there. It worked fine for my single stage and all, but the top on it was cheap particle board. And had a *lot* of flex in it. I compensated by putting "real" wood...

I know that this is a bit of a stretch as far as being gun related, but I figured it was worth a try. You can read the details of this families story here: http://anarchangel.blogspot.com/2008/01/weve-been-blindsided-and-we-need-help.html This was posted over on APS, and I think the added...

In the midst of a discussion with my family tonight, the topic of self defense in Texas came up. My understanding is that someone in Texas is authorized to use deadly force during the course of someone trespassing onto their property after dark (dusk to dawn). If this is correct, can...

So I've posted before about my fiancee, she's an incredible gal, but definitely a little "skittish" about guns... Some people had great suggestions, that I've been trying to incorporate and use. All that being said, I think we hit a turning point a couple of nights ago. We have purchased a...

So, the other day I got a hankerin' for another BP pistol. I actually wanted a flintlock pistol, but SW didn't have any. All they had were the Traditions kits. So, being new to the "kit gun" scene, I went with the cheaper of the two, the Kentucky pistol. Now, I haven't gotten her to the...

Ok. So sm's thread regarding the single-shot shotguns kinda put a hankering in me to go find myself one. Remembering shooting my great-uncle's single shot .410, this brought back lots of good memories... So with the gun show going on this last weekend, I decided to browse the aisles and...

So last night I decided to swing through Sportsman's Warehouse here in town, wanted to take a look at some shotguns, maybe get some reloading components, the usual browse through on the way home.... I already have an Uberti 1858 replica, so I decided to check to see what kind of BP substitute...

Ok. I'm in need of some assistance here from the kind folks of THR. My girlfriend has an admittedly unreasonable fear of firearms. This is a source of some frustration on my part, but it also frustrates her. I've spoken to her about firearms, and shared with her that one of the reasons I'd...

Ok. Came across this while browsing MidwayUSA last night. I'm at work, so I can't access Midway's website, but essentially it's a 3-in-1 die designed for single stage presses. Apparently it's got different inserts or something? Anyone try one of these yet? If so, how'd it work for you?

I have a Colt 1991-A1, and today when I was at the range, noticed that the brass ejected (besides being flung into the next county) had a definite dent in the wall of each casing about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way up the side of the case. I hadn't noticed the brass being flung so far in the past, nor...

Ok your rifle guru's. My girlfriends' father has an older (known pre-70's) Winchester Model 94 rifle in .30-30 Win. The stock is absolutely gorgeous (no scratches/dings/dents), the bluing is probably 95% or better on the barrel/magazine tube, and about 50% on the receiver. The bore is clean...

Ok. Been doing a little research lately, and came across a statement on the Accurate Arms website that their Accurate 4350 powder is completely equivalent to IMR's 4350 powder. Anyone have any experience with this? I've been wanting to use the Accurate 4350 since it is usable in 2 of my 3...

Ok guys. So earlier I posted that I hadn't had the opportunity to take my new Uberti Remmy 1858 out yet. Still haven't. But in preparing for hoping to be able to take her out this next weekend, I was going to do a full disassemble and reassemble to clean off all the preservative oil they put...

And picked up my first C&B revolver. It's an Uberti Remington 1858, absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to get time for a range trip (hopefully next weekend) to try her out. :)

Just picked myself up a SMLE #4 Mk 1. I've been slowly but surely working on my WWII collection. I've gotten the battle rifles for some of the major combatants. So far I have a Yugo M48 (K98 Mauser clone), a Mosin-Nagant M44, and now the SMLE. So next is an M1 Garand, from CMP. And i may just...

Ok. So I'm trying to find a product that will hopefully fill this "niche" that I have. I'm looking for a rapid-access locking wall mount for my remington 870. Essentially I'm envisioning something similar to what police cruisers have to lock up their shotguns. However, I have a mounted side...
