    The 300

    On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 300! Quite possibly the best movie ever. Well worth the price of admission, visually stunning, awesome battle scenes, and inspiring to boot. I'll probably see is several times over. MOLON LABE!

    Buckshot patterns with a Patternmaster choke

    I had an opportunity to try a variety of buckshot loads through a Patternmaster choke tube. For the benefit of the collective here's a compilation of my results with the Patternmaster tube. Weapon was a benelli M1S90 with an unmodified factory 18.5" bbl. Distance to the target was 20 yards. 5...

    Steel or tungsten core?

    Well I've come across a few bullets that the seller claims are tungsten cored. I'd love to believe him but after sectioning the bullet and pulling the core it just doesnt seem heavy enough, and it's attracted to a magnet. I dont remember much about chemestry but seem to remember that tungsten is...

    More food for thought: 300 whisper Vs. 7.62x25 subsonic

    It seems they have about the same case capacity and similar dimensions, with the whisper having slightly more case capacity. If you want it for subsonic only applications, why not load the 7.62x25 with heavy projectiles and use the subsonic whisper loads? Only snag I can see is bore diameter...

    Is it legal to sell a rifle to a nonresident temporarily residing in state? (CO)

    Looking through the various laws on ATF's website I see that it's not legal to ship a firearm to a nonlicensee in another state. However I'm at a loss to find anything prohibiting me from selling to a nonresident temporarily living in my state. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    What the heck is this? A 6.5 x 38-55 improved?

    I've come into possession of a quanity of loaded ammunition that appears to be an AI version of the 38-55 necked to a 6.5 mm bullet, it appears that .30-30 brass could be used as the parent case for this wildcat just as easily but I dont see any cases headstamped with .30-30. I'm at a complete...

    Rechambering a Savage for long range match work.

    I've aquired a Savage 116 that's currently chambered in .300 Win mag that I'd like to turn into a long range target rifle, possibly something that I could use in a 1000 yard match. I chose the Savage since it's more affordable, and easier to swap barrels and rechamber. I'll probably go with a...

    6.5mm / .264 magnum loudenboomers

    6.5 mm is a caliber I've got absolutely no experience with, but I am somewhat familiar with the 260 remington and 6.5x55 swede. With all the hoopla about the 6.5 Grendel I got to asking myself if anyone ever made any magnum 6.5 cartridges. Doing a little research, I found the 264 Winchester...

    SMLE Excessive firing pin penetration?

    While at the range I took my Savage built SMLE out with some PMP ammunition and did not notice anything unusual while shooting, however in collecting the brass I noticed a couple pierced primers. I'm not planning on firing it again until I get that resolved. I'm assuming the firing pin is...

    Where to go to market an idea

    I've got an idea for a gun accessory that has the potential to turn a couple rifles that are not particularly popular at present into something people will actually want. Trouble is I have no idea where to go to patent, design, manufacture, market, and distribute it. Can anyone offer advice on...

    .44 magnum reduced load suggestions?

    Hi all, I'm finally getting around to loading for my beloved 629 Mountain Gun. I picked up some H110, Unique, and Power Pistol towards this end. I'll use the H110 for the wrist cracking loads. It's my understanding that this powder requires magnum primers and won't do for reduced loads. I...

    subsonic .50AE

    I'm curious if anyone has tried loading the .50 AE with subsonic loads. Would it be feasible to load a 600+ grain bullet meant for the .50 BMG in the .50 AE case? Obviously the OAL would be a problem for magazine fed guns, but for singles like the TC it might be feasible. Anyone know where to...
