Hey High Roaders, In this latest segment in my search for Buckshot perfection, I went to the range and did some more highly informal, highly unscientific, and highly informative pattern testing of 16 different Buckshot loads, including 00, #1, and a couple of specialty loads offered by Cabela's...

Hey Folks, I have been thinking about making the jump from standard dies to either the bushing type sizing dies or benchrest type hand dies for my Remington 700P .308. In preparation of ordering stuff and to make sure I would be ordering the right size bushings, I took some measurements...

This evening I went to the range and did some highly informal, highly unscientific, and highly fun pattern testing of 11 different 00 Buckshot loads. The test shotgun consisted of a Remington 870 Express HD 12 Gauge with 18.5 inch Cylinder Bore barrel. I checked the bore diameter at the muzzle...

Was at the local Cabela's yesterday getting reloading stuff and saw that they had an FN .45 in the case. I handled it and liked it a bunch. Excellent fit and finish, excellent checkering on the grips, excellent three dot fixed sights, and comes with two 14 round magazines and one 15 round...

Hey Ya'll, I have been thinking about the next rifle to get, and no it is not an AR-15 :). I am thinking about a Remington 700 Sendero in .300 Winchester Magnum, set up for long range deer hunting. What bullet (bullet type/bullet weight/bullet brand) do you .30 caliber magnum deer hunters...

They make a 0w-30 which I believe is about the thinnest Mobil 1 they make. I have never seen it on a shelf down here in Texas, I believe it is mostly sold in the colder climates. The thinnest Mobil 1 I have seen down here is 5w-30, and alot of the IPSC shooters down here use it due the the...

Are SVD Dragunov rifles, Russian or Chinese, available in Canada? This thread about Hugo Chavez's recent purchase made me wonder :). http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=298605 Thanks in advance, LeonCarr

Hey Folks, I just picked up some Berry's .38 caliber 148 Grain Copper Plated HBWCs, and have a few questions. Is loading data interchangeable with the 148 Grain Lead HBWC? I have used the search feature on several different forums, and surfed the powder and bullet sites also. I have been...

Can anyone direct me to a website listing the rifles/pistols used to win Olympic Shooting Medals? Just curious to see what kind of hardware is being used (Anschutz, etc). Thanks a bunch, LeonCarr

Lately I find myself frequenting local pawn shops at lunchtime, and I have been finding some pretty good deals on guns. Do any Dallas/Fort Worth Area HighRoaders have any favorite Pawn Shops they would like to share? I will start it off. CashAmerica Pawn on Mill Street in Lewisville. Ruger...

I have read several articles online referring to cast bullets used for handgun hunting being cast with "Casull Alloy". Does anybody know what the makeup of the alloy is percentage wise (lead/tin/antimony), and what makes this lead alloy superior to other alloys (wheelweights, Lyman #2, etc) for...

I was doing household stuff today, and got to thinking. It has been mentioned many times on THR in various threads about having a well-rounded arsenal consisting of rifles, shotguns, and handguns for defense, and most of us know the obvious advantages of having the rifle available. I have...

Does anybody know of a DSArms dealer in Texas, somewhere I can go to have a "hands on" look at one of their FALs? Thanks, LeonCarr

Does anybody know of any 3-gun matches in the Houston, Texas area? I would like to get a few matches in, just in case I get to go to San Angelo for the Texas State 3-gun match :). Just my .02, LeonCarr

I was watching the news tonight, and I noticed that one of the 8 Marines on the ground in Liberia had a Benelli M1014 shotgun! Pretty Cool. Its not an 1100 or 11-87, but I guess it will do in a pinch. I know...get the flamethrowers ready :). I also did not know that the official language of...
