Hey folks, I just wanted to get some opinions so I don't do something stupid. I have set off a whole sleeve of primers before doing something dumb & hope to avoid a repeat. That experience could of ended a whole lot worse than it did. Out in the ol' Man Cave I have oh 15,000 primers or so in a...

I've had this amazing rifle for a long time, and love it. Possibly the most accurate factory rifle ever produced & this one is in top condition. Lately however I've been thinking about a new $$$$ project to fill a different hole in the collection & have been considering selling the Sako (rifle...

Hey Folks, I recently picked up a new Savage 16 lightweight hunter in 223. I've wanted one of these receivers for a while. 5.5 lbs., super easy to carry around. When setting the rifle up I noticed something odd- when the bolt closes & cocks, it is very tight. My go / no go gauges indicate...

Last week I went on my first archery hunt, and harvested my first archery game- a mule deer buck. No pictures, let's just call him a "meat buck". :) I was done hunting, drinking coffee & packing up my camper when he and his buddies decided to come mill around my camp & not leave before I...

Hey folks, So I like to try new stuff as I'm sure many of you do. I was talking to a shooter friend the other day, and I realized one hole in my collection is something that really has the potential to reach out & make authoritative hits with precision. He has a 300 Ultra Mag for such...

Hey Folks, helping out a friend that came across this when going through the estate of a deceased relative. Can anyone help ID what it is, value, history etc..? I'll see about getting more photos. Thanks!

Hey Folks, Thinking of offering these brass hulls up for sale, but I have no idea what they're worth. They're old and at least once fired. Headstamp says Winchester No. 12. Any ideas on a fair value? I've got 51 of them. Thanks :)

I'm wondering what others have experienced when hunting elk in early November. Usually during 3rd season, all the elk we see are dead quiet- unless they're herded up & on the move. We've always just used a cow call to get them to stop if we see them but we've not really had any success calling...

So never being short of things to do around the farm, for the last couple months I've been hunting a pair of foxes that have been paying nightly visits to our chickens. Normally I would leave them alone since the birds are locked up at night, but in the last two months they have come in during...

I've been hunting elk in the same spot for 7 years now. I usually have decent luck for public land, and more importantly I rarely have to deal with other hunters. (When other hunters show up in the area they generally start walking around, and this blows out any elk in the area which screws us...

So years ago I bought a Weatherby Vanguard sub-moa in 300 WSM. Overall I like the rifle a lot, it's killed lots of deer & elk with me. I shot it as-is for a couple years, and it shot great. 3 shot groups around .5-.6" with handloaded TSX off a bench. Well I like to tinker, and one day I...

So today I went to the range with a sequence of new hunting loads I'm working on for my 300 WSM, and to make a long story short I stopped a couple grains before book max due to sticky-bolt-lift pressure signs (was working form min to max in .5gr increments). So I have some rounds that need to be...

I'm hoping to get some input from others comfortable with "Ruger only" loads to help make sure my train of thought hasn't derailed. I'm working on some stout 357 loads for my 4.6" New Model Blackhawk convertible. These are loads that I'll be keeping separated so they'll never be fired in any...

Recreational time has been slim for me this last year but I did manage to sneak away today & spend a little time with my S&W 327, wanted to share some info since there's not a lot of it out there for this gun & caliber. As I've mentioned in other threads I'm overall happy with it. Great trigger...

Just got this email from Parks & Wildlife- Great news! Anyone in the area please hit this survey.

Hey all, I have a S&W 327 Federal that I really enjoy- all except for one thing. In such a short barrel combined with a magnum cartridge full of slow burning powder, the port mostly serves to re-direct un-burnt powder directly into my face. In this photo you can imagine that the port is...

Has anyone ever put the effort into compiling a worldwide map showing where law-abiding citizens still have the right to own / use / carry a firearm? I was thinking about this today, wondering how many bastions of freedom are left in the world...

I recently picked up a DPMS Predator. After I gave it a full cleaning I noticed something weird on the crown, and I can't decide if it's chrome lined or just damaged. The reason I think it might be lined are: - There appears to be some chrome spillage over the crown..? - I cleaned it...

Let me start by saying :cuss: . So I recently broke down my elk rifle to do some winter work & cleaning, and much to my dismay there is a small impression in the upper portion of the tube, both front & rear, where the top of the Warne rings drew in. The scope is a Swarovski 3-10. Now, I turn...

Hey all, I inherited this beautiful Browning BAR-22 (22 LR only) from my Grandfather. Broke it down, gave it a serious cleaning, lube & reassemble. Took it to shoot for the first time and it has a real issue with short stroking. I was shooting some cheap ammo first, then I moved to CCI Mini...
