Watching several cartridge comparison discussion threads got me wondering, what is everyone's favorite cartridge for the AR-15, and how do you use it? I have ar rifles and pistols in 5.56, 300 blackout, 6.5 Grendel, 7.62x39 and 458 socom. Have had a few 9mm and 22lr. I actually like them all...

So let me start by saying, I HAD a 357 Rossi r92 24" octagon rifle that was amazing, and quite heavy. A blast to shoot, and worth quite a bit at a time I was so short of cash...well, it isn't mine anymore. And the guy I sold it to doesn't dislike it either, so I can't buy that one back! I want...

Hadn't bought ANY primers in 5 years, but today I was near a sportsman's warehouse 40 Miles from home and I found some on the shelf. Fiocchi spp in sleeves of 150 for $8.55. could buy two sleeves per day, so I'll be swinging by tomorrow since we're in town for the weekend. I'll drag the wife...

Good afternoon All! I was out shooting over the weekend with a few friends, blowing up tannerite and sighting in hunting rifles, just generally goofing off in the woods. We had targets at 100, 150, and a steel 12" gong at 300 yards. So, with several of us wanting to be the one who set off the...

So Bear Creek arsenal is coming out with a bigger frame ar pattern rifle in 300wm. Calling it the bc-8 or something, should be released in spring of 23, and a whole lot of 30-06 family cartridges to follow. I think I'm going to be poor very soon...

Hello all, helping out a friend decide on a long range hunting rifle in 300 PRC. Don't have a fixed budget, but for the moment let's assume sub $3000, and off the shelf rifles. What are some models to look for? This will be primarily a hunting rifle, not a competition rifle, and glass will be a...

Hello all, I've been a handgun hunter off and on for all my adult life, primarily with a 7.5" Ruger redhawk. Taken lots of deer with it, and used various 22lr and other handguns for small game. But I've never owned a specialty pistol, no contenders, or xp 101s, or anything else. I've been very...

Hello all, I've been working on a custom build for an American ranch rifle, and I'd like to upgrade the stock. I actually have several of the stanag pattern (AR-15) magazine American rifles, and at least two need a better stock. Been looking at the Boyd's spike camp, which isn't technically...

So a couple years ago my brother moved into my garage ( we built it into a nice apartment for him), and I had to move all of my reloading stuff from the room I had it in into the shop. It was a mess, went from a nice space to a shared work bench and a big floor to ceiling cabinet. As all things...

So after years of waffling and research I finally pulled the trigger on a 221 fireball rifle build. I found a cheap used Ruger American ranch in 300 blk, and I just ordered a #1 contour Shaw 19" barrel. It's a barrel nut style for the American action, so I want to get a better nut too, but the...

So the other day I was hanging out with my buddy's boys, 12 and 15, and my 10 yr old son, talking guns. Turned into a show and tell, with all the handguns out of the safe. I was teaching them about the difference between action designs, when the 15 yr old (almost 16) picked up my 6" model 10-5...

A Hollywood press just walked through the door! A buddy says "you might like this" and hands it to me. I don't even know what I don't know about it, but you can all bet I'm going to!

So I've been avoiding primer pocket swaging for a while now, and I finally decided I need to start on my 5 gal bucket of 5.56 brass. So what's the best tools to tackle this? Opinions and advice?

My buddy's dad recently asked me to help him get a Marlin 1881 in 40-60 up and going. It is a decent rifle for it's age, but the main hammer spring is missing. Been searching on the internet for parts, but haven't found one yet. Anybody know of an out of the way source for 1881 parts other than...

Hey guys, I have a question. I rescued a Mossberg 183k-a bolt 410 from the gun store a while back. It is a 3" gun, and functional. The stock is a little rough, as is the finish, and it is missing the external thread on choke. It patterns terribly as is, and since I have little experience with...

But then my son told me, "Dad, I really don't want to use your 45-70, I'm afraid I'll see a deer, get excited, and forget to hold on. Then the scope will bite me in the face!" Well, obviously I couldn't argue with the logic of a new hunter 9yr old, so I started looking thru my rifles for a...

Been eyeing this sweet 4" model 10 for months at the LGS. Price started out at 750, which is way too high and slowly went down to 500 bucks. I couldn't help it anymore and had to bring it home. 541 out the door for a nice tapered barrel model 10. Now my 6" won't be lonely anymore... Here it...

Saw my very first pietta 1873 in 357 today, and I was impressed by how nice the gun was, other than the grips. It was sitting next to a ruger wrangler in the case, and it looked like the plastic ruger grips were virtually identical to the pietta. Does anyone know if single six grip frame is the...

Put in a call to JES reboring to ask about a project, left a message and got zero response after two weeks. So I called again, and again, no response after a week. Anybody heard from them recently? I would bet they are busy, I figured I'd hear back eventually....
