    Advice Please

    Boys and Girls, I have accumulated a couple hundred dollars worth of Cabela's gift cards. Is the Ruger Wrangler worth it or not? I know, it's free anyway but I've always been a poor boy and still hate wasting money. .22 ammo is available and fairly reasonable. I refuse to give the price to...

    Primer Price?

    Mind if I ask what you boys are paying for small pistol primers? I have some Cabela's gift cards and they claim to have primers but at around $100 per thousand I just can't bring myself to pay that. Thank you, Rex

    Dillon Precision

    My 22 year old Dillon 550 finally needed a nylon shoulder washer that the rod on the powder dump goes through. It gets a little abuse each time I swap powder in the hopper and finally got in bad shape. I e-mailed Dillon with the part number and ask for the price + shipping, got a reply today...

    Old man shoots in the cold

    Boys, today is my birthday! I got out my old Remington 760, 30-06, hadn't shot it in a few years but it sure used to put a lot of deer down. Took my old 870 16 gauge and a few rocks (blue rock), you can look up the meaning on Google search. Took my 686 and some 357 rounds and went out and shot...

    stiff single action trigger on S&W 686

    Many years ago I sent my "then new" 686 to S&W and ask if they could help on old man out with the trigger pull. They changed the trigger return spring ( I don't recall what they put in) but a couple of years ago when I started getting light hammer strikes I discovered that they had ground the...

    Sad Day

    Used my last grain of 2400 this morning and no idea when I'll be able to get more. Oh well, I'm getting old enough they will make me stop playing with guns one of these days. ( 80 next month) The last bit of 2400 went for my version of the 38-44 load, 11 grains of 2400 and a 173 grain 358429...

    357 Mag lite with Bullseye?

    I was given some Bullseye Powder and never loaded much of it. I was wondering is I could make a mid-range 357 with a 150 grain 358477 and around 5.5-6.0 Bullseye that might be safe and accurate. Anyone done this? how did it work?

    Price of shooting a few rocks

    Anyone go out and shoot a few rocks just for fun with the price of shells (if you can find them) and clay targets what they are? I just went over the hill with my little Trius One Step trap and shot 6 rocks and came home. One of them was a tough little bugger, took me 3 shots to kill it.:p I'd...

    Is there much love for Mr. Keith's 358429?

    For a long while that bullet seemed to be all the rage but now I do a search and it seems more like the 150 grain 358477. I use both and like both. I do load the 173 grain Keith in 38 special brass with 6 grains Unique and what ever primer I can find and it shoots really nice but I suspect the...

    Granddaughter and I were discussing handgun ammo and she had questions I wasn't sure of Am I correct that S&W doesn't make their own pistol ammo but re-brand ammo made for them?

    Finally warm enough to shoot

    When you get old and don't shoot very well the quick fix is a bigger target. This winter my Grandson built me a new swing plate. This one is 8X8 and that is a little large for 25 yards. It was nice this morning and the sun was bright so I set the thing up at 25 yards. One shot and I knew it...

    Installing new strain screw

    Do you file the end of the new strain screw to get acceptable trigger pull when installing a new screw? I've only installed one on my S&W 686 and by the time I realized why I was getting misfires I was so mad I just screwed it in tight with no trimming at all. Cocking the hammer was a lot...

    Made a great find!

    I was cleaning off the top of my "cast bullet, reloading book, general junk table" yesterday and lo-and-behold, there lay a live small pistol primer that I had dropped long ago. Remember the days when you dropped a primer and if it didn't land where you could see it you didn't bother hunting...

    Became a better shot

    Nothing makes you a better revolver shot than a larger target. My Grandson built me a new target frame and we hung a 8x8 steel swing plate on it. I'd used a 6x6 for years. I can now see that the misses I was getting were going high and left so I've work to do on my grip and trigger squeeze...
