Hi, folks. A friend stopped in work the other day and asked if I sold 45-70 (of course I don't). He complained about the price and wondered what I knew about reloading. After a lengthy explaination of start-upcosts, press selection, etc, I told him to stop by on Sunday and I'd lend him my copy...

My SKS is rusting. I've tried to keep oil on it, Weapon Shield, and I've been looking at Eez-Ox. The problem is that its already started. I've got a little physical rust on the magazine and a few small spots on the reciever. My issue is with the fine layer of surface rust on the barrel, front...

Hi, folks. I've been thinking about how best to invest my rebate check and have been considering a smaller carry piece for warmer weather. My ideas are as follows: -Smith M&P 40c -Bersa Thunder 380 -Kel-tec P3AT -A revolver in 357 Now, I'd like to blow all my check on the...

I thought I'd throw out a prop to Battenfeld Technologies Inc, makers of the Tipton Gun Vise. I picked up one on sale and upon assembly, found a pivot pin missing from the hardware pack. I e-mailed their customer service since I had bought the last one the store had, and I recieved a reply...

Last night's local IDPA shoot showed my complete ineptitude with a flashlight. I started out with it held between my support hand fingers, and using my strong hand as the bumper for the button. The light was too high in my grip, and I kept hitting the mag release with it, obviously not helpful...

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has a link or an idea where that massive thread with all of the picts of peoples' gun safes is. THe one that was about eight or nine months ago... There's some people I'd like to prove that my 9 guns do not make me the most frightening person on earth. :D

Hiya, folks!! This is probably an issue I came upon a year ago when I was starting my reloading hobby, and I probably just shoved it aside and forgot about it. I was trimming some Luger cases down to the Makarov 18mm size with the Lee trimmer in the drill-press. Obviously I ended up with...

I picked up a can of Bullseye to support some 380 loads I'm going to be working up, as well as the 40S&W, 9mm Mak and 9mm luger I currently load for. The first thing I noticed was the fine grain. Once I got it into the dispenser, I was instantly impressed. Exact charges, and above all...

I picked up an Redding case lube pad and was wondering whether anyone has used it with Lee case lube, and if so, whether they've used it straight or watered down? Did it dry out later or did the cover prevent that?

Remember to adjust your charges for extreme differences in temperatures. If you workup a load in summer, it'll be weaker in winter, and more seriously, the opposite is also true. If you work-up a winter load, it'll be hotter in the summer, maybe dangerously so. Went to the range today and got...

I'm going to be doing some load work-ups for a 380Auto and was wondering what results (or warnings) others have had with using a 9mm bullet (specificly a 115gr encapsulated) in the 380. The diameter is the same, but 9mm bullets usually have the longer length. If it feeds, use it? Or should I...

Hi, folks. Everyone knows the LM's are finicky in every aspect, unless everything is just right. Some people have no luck with them, others have nothing but, and they're the best presses they've ever owned. I fall in between. Sometimes it works great, other times it's a pain. Recently I...

It's been a long time in coming, but here's the family I've picked up since september of last year (the one exception being the Daisy 2202 in the front, purchased a few years ago). I got the bug in me after firing my friend's uncle's Ruger Redhawk and SKS. Suffice to say, between these and...

Hi, folks. Picked up a Mosin at Dunhams this morning and, in conversation, the clerk (looked like a manager) mentioned that the rules for Gifting of a firearm had been specificly addressed and re-defined under the ruling that added the mentally deficient question on the form. I'm the last...

Check your local Dunham's tomorrow (Sunday and Monday -21/22nd) for a deal on Mosins. I stopped in today to check their sales and picked up tomorrow's flyer. Not sure how wide-spread this is, but anyone near Wooster, Ohio should listen up. Others should check their locals. Mosin 91-30's...

What is a powder for the Mosin Nagant that gives me the most flame out the front? I'm talking the classic shooter story of cooking your meal as you shoot it, powder. A little visual fun never hurt anyone, right?

Hey. I just started resizing my WWB 7.62x54Russian cases and to get the full throw of the lever, I need considerable force, even with a proper application of Lee lube. The force isn't the issue. The Winchester cases seem to have a thicker "belt" near the rim. It's not a true belt, but it looks...

Hi, folks. A while back (a month, yeesh) I posted that I was starting to load for my SKS and Mosin. The info given here helped a lot, and today I tried my first rifle loads against Remington UMC and WWB 7.62x39 rounds. There's no picts because I don't have a decent camera, and I have...

Just saw a story on this one on TV. Time to call the legislature. Note the misinformation regarding the age for firearms. I'd expect better from Fox. http://www.myfoxcleveland.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail?contentId=4313986&version=4&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=1.1.1 Mayor Wants Law...

Okay, folks. After a year of reloading for my 40cal, I've taken up rifle loading for my SKS and Mosin Nagant. I went out today and picked up a can of H4198, some more CCI#34 arsenal primers and a pack of Remington 9 1/2's. I primed the 10 availiable 7.62x39 cases with the arsenal primers...
