I've come into posession of a large quantity of WW2 and post WW2 50 BMG ammo and wanted to get a handle on pricing. Strangely, it seems silver tip API is actually cheapest, likely because many ranges don't like incendiary. Still, prices are all over the map for 50 BMG ammo. What is 50 BMG...

I've come across a couple of cases of 1990 Chinese (Norinco) steel core 7.62x39 and wanted people's opinion on what it might be worth. Prices seem to be all over the map and quite arbitrary, so I'm trying to verify before I either sell it or shoot it. It's the copper washed steel, headstamp 31...

I acquired a bunch of ammo from a friend getting out of shooting and among the huge assortment of stuff is what is marked as 5.56 Armor Piercing/Tracer. It appears as either a tip painted a combination of black and red (black like normal AP with a tip of red) or painted red like normal tracer...

Interested in hearing opinions here on bullet choice for some big Russian boars using S&W 500 mag. Of course the pistol has more than enough power to get the job done, but the choice still remains, choosing a lighter ~350 grain hard cast or jacketed bullet cooking along at high velocity or...

I suspect it's a Springfield 1903 barrel, but wanted to consult the experts that inhabit this forum. I picked this up as part of a large lot at an estate sale a few years back. Anyone here able to tell me more about what I've got? It measures 24". I'd rather not open it if I choose to sell...

I have a bunch of these dies purchased in a large lot from an estate sale and can't identify them. They won't fit my press (rcbs) as they are meant to be threaded in from below, not above, and therefor don't leave enough clearance. Any guesses on what type of press these are compatible with...

Loading up for a Russian boar hunt with my Ruger 77/44 rifle in 44 mag. I have a few choices in powder, but have narrowed the bullet choice down to Cast Performance 300 grain hardcast bullets. Question is, what powder would be best choice for maximum performance in the rifle? 296 or 2400...

Just out of curiosity, when were these primers manufactured. They work just fine! See attachment.

Smith and Wesson performance center 1911, 25 feet, two hands. Ran out of real targets and improvised. Pic is rotated, sorry.

I've run into a problem with a batch of 30-06 cases (M2) from WWII. They are marked 1943, repacked in the 50's in spam cans. The primer pockets continue to be too tight even after using the Dillon Super Swager and the Sinclair primer pocket uniformer. After several attempts with a more...

My wife has been shooting with me for almost ten years and she is a fantastic shot, easily outshooting all the women at our club and a good percentage of the more serious and competetive men. All of this with her carry gun, a Sig 239 in 9mm! She can routinely shoot 1 1/2 inch groups at 25 feet...

Having had both of these rifles damaged in a fire several years back, I've finally gotten around to refinishing them. The stocks of both rifles, being composite, were a total loss. Not a bad thing since the tupperware that comes with them leaves a lot to be desired. The Browning Stalker stock...

Wondering if anyone can date this M2 spam cans and the ammo for me. I'm not sure of the coding, but it appears like it was `repacked' in '50? is that correct? If so, what's the current value of these spam cans? Also, if it's WWII surplus that's been repacked, is it likely to be corrosive...

Having had a house fire almost four years ago and losing a lot of fine guns to both fire and water, I've recently gotten around to trying to salvage some of them that appear to have some potential for a second life. In particular, I've taken on a project with a Savage model 12 in .223 that was...

After much deliberation, I've decided to buy my wife her own target pistol to really see what her potential is. She is a fantastic shot with her carry gun, a Sig 239 in 9mm and really would like to stick to the 9mm platform if possible. For no reason other than she is totally comfortable with...

My wife has reached the limits of accuracy that can be had with her Sig239 for target/bullseye work. It's been doubling as her CCW and range gun for several years now and she shoots it amazingly well, having no problem keeping all of her shots into two inches as 25 ft and around double that at...

Several years back we had a fire that severely damaged our home. While some of the ammo in the attic did `cook off' in the fire, a great deal of it did not and was only exposed to high heat. In most cases it was a matter of location, things located on the floor of the attic were far less...

My friends 11 year old son will be hunting Russian Boar with us and the only rifle he is comfortable shooting is a Tikka T3 in 243 Winchester. Any suggestions on the best factory ammo we might choose to get the job done on some Russian Boar?

I have a model 1894 Swedish Mauser that a member on this board has agreed to purchase. He lives in North Carolina, I live in Connecticut. My brother, purely by chance, lives in the same city in North Carolina. I understand that the rifle must be transfered through an FFL in North Carolina and...

Anyone have any idea what variation of Winchester 1894 this is? The sights are throwing me off with the adjustable rear aperture sight in place and what looks to be the rear sight removed. Whats left where the rear sight typically goes is a Marbles base. The barrel is 20 inches long. Also...
