    454 Casull maximum velocity with a solid copper bullet

    Hello friends, I have a few different bullets I want to experiment with for the 454 casull. I have a variety of functional objectives in mind as I begin to reload for this cartridge and when it comes to hunting loads and cast lead plinking loads I think I know what I'm going for, but I have a...

    I FINALLY found a ruger 454 casull

    Man, I was just desperate to get one of these and haven't been able to get one since the pandemic. $2,000.66 total from gunbroker + $25 when it arrives for my ffl transfer fee. A lot over MSRP and not really a "rare" gun i didn't think. I've had dies for two years and brass for one. I can't...

    Beretta 1301 21" or 24"

    Hello friends, I have several overunder shotguns and a single barrel I use for clay targets. I see enough guys with semiautomatic guns on the trap line that I want to give it a try, and I might consider the gun for something like 3-gun competition as well. Unlikely to be used for HD, just gun...

    Considering a Steyr Aug A1 M3 NATO

    Hello friends, Im considering steyr aug, one of the A1 M3 nato stocks so I can use my pmags. I've heard great things about the waffles but I own a lot of pmags so I like the standardized compatibility. I've heard great things about the accuracy and reliability and I sort of want a bullpup...

    what brand of chokes?

    I need some additional chokes for my invevtor DS and Invector Plus browning shotguns. I have a 725 sporting, 725 trap, and bt-99. I started looking at chokes because the full choke on the bt-99 from the factory is a flush but I prefer extended, and so I went to find an extended full and saw...

    Went out shooting my Rugers today

    I decided to enjoy the lovely sunshine today and take a pair of my favourite Ruger's out to the range today. I brought out my Ruger GP 100 Match Champion, 4.25" barrel with a novak rear and fiber optic front in 357 magnum. I also brought my Ruger Super Redhawk, 7.5" barrel with a Leupold FX-II...

    loading for a 30-30 lever

    Hello friends, I just got a 30-30 winchester 94 ranger and I'm looking to start loading for it. It's mostly just for the fun of the action but I do want good ammo, and I'm not sure what bullet is good for plinking. I'm usually a 308 or 223 shooter so I don't think any of my point Sierra bullets...

    best option to mount a RDS on a 1911

    So I've got a colt government model 70 that I adore, its the main 45 that I shoot and since I got it a few years back its seen a lot of play. I now want to try shooting it with a red dot, but I like this one how it is so I'm starting the hunt for an RDS 1911. Does anyone make an "MOS" 1911...

    ruger 5-7 pistol recall

    "Ruger has discovered that a small number of Ruger-57™ pistols may have right safety levers that do not meet our specifications and may be prone to cracking. In some rare instances, the internal "leg" of the right safety lever may crack or break, rendering the manual safety ineffective. If...

    anyone try IMR 8208?

    I was picking up some powder for 308 load development and I saw IMR 8208, a new to me powder, recommended by the shop. It was very shiny so I bought it. I can't find Varget so I figured why not- im now stocked with RL-15, IMR 4895, IMR 8208, CFE 223, Ramshot TAC, and BL-C(2). I got a deal on...

    I really like loading certain cartridges...

    I was clearing out some more old partial boxes of projectiles by way of loading them of course (5 here, 30 there, etc) and came across some old 300gn WFN 44 magnum bullets I had from MBC. I still had just shy of 100 bullets and I loaded them up over 15.4gn of Alliant 2400. My notes indicate...

    LPVO's for an 16" AR-style 308 rifle

    Hello friends, I'm shopping for glass for my 16" 308 chambered AR and I'm curious what ya'll think are good options for a LPVO. I'm mainly interested in LPVO for the same reasons they've increased dramatically in popularity. Why not have a 1x objective with the option of flipping up the...

    10mm loads with RMR 180gn, my experience

    Hello gents, I've been loading 10mm lately and have some thoughts, VV N105 is the biggest disappointment, averaging just under 900 FPS on 9.7gn of powder, (9.9 is max) Longshot is the winner, giving 1250 at 9.3gn, (9.5gn is max) AA#9 is another strong choice, delivering 1200 FPS at 13gn...

    taking a new shooter out

    Hello friends, A buddy of mine and his wife just purchased their first firearm. A ruger PCC 9MM, one of the current gens with the fancy tactical furniture. I want to share a bit of their story as I am very pleased by it, and I think it's hopeful overall. So, he's always wanted a gun, but his...

    loading 10mm for velocity

    So I decided to try some power pistol as my second powder following AA#9. I got to 13.5gn AA#9 with about 1300 FPS but an ES over 100. 180gn RMR bullet. Today I tried 9.0gn of Power Pistol and got 1200 FPS with an ES of 70 and SD of 15 off 45 shots. 180gn RMR bullet. I'm going to keep working...

    choice of components

    Hello friends, Some recent posts have gotten me to wondering what all components we favor. I'm a CCI Primer guy and usually favor Hodgdon & Alliant powders, but occassionally use Accurate (western) for 10mm. I just got my first few pounds of vihtavuori as well. What do you all use?

    what do you think of 45 degree angle mounted optics?

    Hello Friends, I have a SUB-2000 in 9mm with the glock 17 grip and I recently added an M-Carbo rail cover and a vortex optics Viper Red Dot which I mounted to a vortex picatinny 45 degree extension. It's pretty neat but I can't shoot it during the crisis since my range is closed. So, in the...

    6 shooters...

    So, I see a lot of people comment "a six shooter should have six shots", but that seems to be a bias against 7+ shots vs. 6 shots or 5 shots rather than a strict preference for exactly six, or at least that's my perception. I like any number myself but only have 5 or 6 shot revolvers. What...
