    45-70 in 45-90?

    I've been told that I could shoot smokeless 45-70's out of a rifle chambered for 45-90, and that that would be like shooting .38 Spl in a .357 Magnum or .44Sp in a .44Magnum. I don't doubt that it can be physically done, but what do y'alls experience say about that? 1) Would the pressures...

    Hornady's "warranty service" bites

    Another thread hit a sore spot, and I just couldn't let my reply set there unnoticed, so I thought I'd post it here: Hornady's chickensh*t "warranty" has me spittin' seeds so badly that I'm too mad to go to their site and see what you're talking about. RCBS and Dillon treat the consumer...

    Help, can't find thread on shooting benches

    A couple or three months ago, there was a thread about building portable shooting benches/tables. Several folks offered pictures and different plans. I did a search for "shooting bench" and "shooting table", but I can't find the thread. Does anyone have the link? Thank you.

    I'd like to catch that stupid FedEx driver and wring his neck.

    About 2 months ago, I ordered some very expensive items from one vendor. The idiot FedEx driver left it right out on the open porch I guess, and it got stolen. At least, I never saw it. The vendor resent everything they had in stock the second time, and still the dumbass driver just left it out...

    Browning Citori Combo value?

    Does anyone know what a Citori Combo is worth? I've got a 12ga. in 34" and 30" O/U. I bought it around 1983 for about $1100 I think. It's in 98-99% condition. Not looking to sell, just curious. Thank you.

    How many times have you watched your favorite gun movie?

    Mine has to be "For a Few Dollars More". I figure I've seen it (minimally) on the average twice a year since its' release. That makes it about 80 times from opening to finish. (Man, I coulda spent that time reloading:o )

    Dillon shmit disturber--> 550's and 650's

    This may seem like I'm trolling or stirring it up, but I've no experience with the Dillon 550's and 650's, and this topic came up in a roundabout way on another thread... I use a Hornady LNL AP, and don't understand the logic behind the guys who use multiple Dillon presses, so here's my...

    Idle curiousity about 16" battleship guns

    I'm in a wonderment about the amount of black powder it takes to throw one of those ~2700 lb. AP shells from a 16" gun, like on the Iowa-class BB's of WWII. Does anyone know? I disremember it being about 150lb. a round, but I'd sure like to know fo' sho'. Thank you.

    AR questions.... stellar examples of real ignorance

    1) I'm gonna have an AR-10 flattop built for long-range shooting. I know GG&G makes an 20 degree inclined base (http://www.gggaz.com/products/ar-10fire_rail.php) , but I can't figure out how they're attached. Would someone clear that up? Is it appropriate for me to get the base and pass it on...

    Aerial Photo Maps online?

    I'm trying to figure out what the terrain around my property looks like (buildings and other structures). On three sides, I'm surrounded by trees, and the nearest surrounding roads are probably 3/4 mile away. I know I could walk the terrain with a compass, but the forested area is so thick, I...

    Y'ever have a (non)shooter shoot your gun better?

    Tommy Gun's question (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?threadid=46609) brought this to mind. On my best day at 25yd, with my old WWII Army issue 1911, I got groups around 4-5". A friend wanted to bring a Japanese visitor to the range. The visitor had never seen a gun in real life...

    What is required to convert an M1A mag for AR-10 work?

    What does the kit from Armalite include that allows one to convert M1A mags so they'll function in an AR-10? Is a different follower really required, or would cutting the slot be the minimum required?

    Mississippi gun transfer laws

    I read the civil code thoroughly (Mississippi Title 45) that deals with definitions of firearm crimes, CCW, and dealer sales/transfers. (It's here if anyone's interested): http://www.atf.treas.gov/firearms/statelaws/22ndedition/mississippi.pdf However, I haven't been able to find any...

    Mississippi shooters

    I may end up living in Mississippi and would like to know what the rules and laws are regarding shooting across open land. In California, you're pretty much fried if you get caught shooting on public land unless it's sanctioned (like a shooting range or hunting land). I understand that in...
