man, I haven't been to THR in a loooooong time. Been getting back into reloading and I was thinking about getting an LnL press and case feeder. I have been reading about them, including some improvements made to older versions. Instead of stealing one of the other LnL threads, I'll start...

I'm looking for one of these for my son for xmas. I can't find one anywhere in town (San Antonio), or on the web. I admit I haven't scoured the web, but I did check a few places that I know about, such as Bud's Gun Shop. anyone know a good place that has them in stock? My local W-M sells...

does anyone have this book? http://www.amazon.com/Precision-Shooting-Reloading-Guide-Brennan/dp/1931220123/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223564304&sr=1-1 I've been reloading for many years, and have the Hornady, Lee and Speer reloading manuals. I'm looking to broaden my knowledge of...

I haven't been on THR in a long time, but I've been getting back into the shooting sports lately. I want to buy my son (10 yrs) a nice, but inexpensive centerfire bolt rifle. I bought him a CZ Scout .22LR a couple years ago and he has gotten excellent on it. He is starting to outgrow it, and...

recently got an M44 and an M38. Have only shot some wolf gold so far. M44 slugs to .314, M38 slugs to .310 or .311. Bought some Hornady .312 150gr FMJ bullets for the M44, and am interested in some reduced loads for it. Can't find much info on the web about it, or at least I can't find much...

yep... I've searched prior threads, and yes I found some useful info... I can't hit the broad side of a barn with my new (beat up) M44. Am shooting wolf gold ammo (seems to be .3085 size). Want to buy some Lee dies, but would prefer to neck-size only. Came across this article on...

ok, another Mosin thread here.... this makes 3 Mosin threads at the top of Rifle Country ! I'm going shopping for an M38 next weekend. Some local stores have some for $149 to $169. Was wondering about any advice as of what to look for. I've been collecting milsurps for 20+ years, so I know...

my first bp revolver. I have shot maybe 5 cylinders full so far... 30 shots plus or minus... at 25 yds, with my hands on a rest. first 6 rounds were 20gr FFFg goex. Too light... all the rest were 25gr, or 27gr... still light, but I'm just getting used to everything so far... initial...

I was browsing handguns at Academy Sports today, and I was looking at the Taurus 24/7, which I thought was very reasonably priced ($349 for a stainless .45). I also noticed a key lock on it. I haven't been keeping up with the modern gun scene very much in the past few years, so I'm kind of...

I notice that the Glock .45s that I have handled (the full size one and the compact one...) have grips that are uncomfortably 'long' for me. I mean front-to-back long. The width is fine. Other .45s (XDs, etc) have grips that are more 'square', and more comfortable for me. I have average big...

I'm interested in picking up a single-shot bp cartridge rifle, such as a Sharps, or whatever... I have trouble shooting well with normal open sights due to my old eyes. I have had Lasik done on my right eye (for distance correction), so now close items are a little blurry (rifle sights are...

what's a good magazine for the black powder hobby? I'm interested in muzzleloading AND bp cartridge guns. I know there is Muzzleloader magazine that has been around quite a while. Seems like after a couple years, magazines would run out of stuff to talk about though...

got a swede mauser, currently my favorite rifle. Today at the range, I noticed what looks like a crack in the sight picture (near the very top). It doesn't bother my view of my targets, but I was wondering if it is affecting my POI. Last two times at the range, I shot sub 1" groups at 100...

If an owners manual for a T/C hawken shows 50gr to 110gr loads of BP, what would be the equivalent range of Triple 7? (shooting patched balls). The owners' manual is 35 years old. Hodgdon's website shows 70gr to 100gr of Triple 7 loads for .50-cal rifles with patched balls. So does...

I'm in the market for one. was wondering what companies to avoid (if any), and what companies have superior workmanship and functioning. The cheaper the better, as long as it works and shoots good. I would think that they would all perform similar since they are not much besides a barrel and...

Was wondering about loading some reduced loads for my 30-06 bolt rifles (for my son to shoot). I take my son shooting with me almost every weekend... but... with my normal 30-06 loads, he's "had enough" after only 2 shots :) My Lee book and my Hornady book don't list any reduced loads. My...

I sold my only AR (bushmaster) because I needed some money... :( I'd like to get an inexpensive .223 to replace it, at least temporarily. Been reading about Kel-Tecs and Saigas here on THR and other places. I was tempted to get an su-16 b or c, but I'm kind of turned off by some threads...

dealer said it was 8mm mauser. dealer has gone out of business a while back. I opened one of the plain brown boxes inside the wooden case tonight for the first time. The boxes of ammo are plain, except they say: 7.9 mm METAH M49 I just want to make sure this is actually 8mm mauser ammo I...

got a WWII Kabar that's been stored (garage) for 30+ years. blade is pretty ugly looking (light rust, etc). Don't know much about knife care, so what's something good to clean it up, without harming the blade or finish...? thanks!

first off, I have googled, and googled all morning and have been reading all the info I've found. I also searched THR on scope mounts, got 12 pages of results, and I did read every one that was about Garands. I want a mount that is offset to the left to allow normal loading. also would...
