    Lever action caliber for fun time

    I'll add a vote for the 45 Colt. I love mine (Model 92 EMF with 24" octagonal barrel), and is my wife's favorite gun to shoot. In many of the modern 92's, you can read up about loading to Ruger/TC pressures/velocities (be sure your gun can handle these loads, read up and be careful). I will say...

    7.62x39 bolt action finally getting some legs

    Does anyone know groove dia of the RAR? I'm looking at getting one this year and was hoping it'd shoot .308 dia bullets with some accuracy.

    Never owned or shot a shotgun...........yet

    I'll second the Mossberg 930. I have the field model (28", wood) that I use exclusively for clay sports. Price was right, looks and shoots like a dream, a real creampuff like any other gas SA shotgun. Wife has a Weatherby SA-08, which I believe is a Turkish-built gun. It's also been 100%...

    Florida’s Gun-Free Businesses May Soon Be Held Liable for Violence on Their Premises

    I'm a bit torn here as well. What I've done is either a) carry anyways (I only conceal carry), or b) don't patronize the business. Where it gets more tricky to me is if it's your workplace. I'm assuming this isn't in the scope of the bill (I admit I didn't read it), but the people there...

    Is it easier for beginners to learn on revolvers than semi-autos?

    I'd think caliber would matter more (ie. 22lr vs 45acp).

    Do you change your SD ammo during winter months?

    When I carry .380, it's Hornady Critical Defense. I like the idea of a deeper penetrating, but still (moderately) expanding round in a lower powered caliber. For 9mm, I use the same ammo year around.

    Dissapointed and no longer buying Remington

    My only Remington is an 870 Express 20 ga (circa 2000). It is my primary clay gun and has been as reliable as an anvil with el cheapo Wally World Federal and Winny fare. I love it. / it doesn't like ejecting Herters ammo every now and again. Solved that by not buying that junk.

    Looking at a Ruger Blackhawk 45 Colt, 5.5" SA

    If (ie. when) I ever get another revolver, it will be a SA Ruger, either 45Colt (which I already reload for) or .357. I miss shooting/reloading for .357. I let my very first firearm, a S&W 586, get away from me about 15 years ago... only firearm I ever regretted selling :cuss:. I almost...

    20 or 28?

    I'd go 20 ga too, if for no other reason, the availability and variety of factory ammo. Just bought my wife the SA-08 in 20ga for shooting clays. She loves it. Nice gun for the price.

    First time jitters.

    Which is one (of many) reasons the only thing I buy at Wally World is ammo. YMMV.

    Lee turret press question

    I use the Lee Classic Turret as my primary press. I've recently moved back to hand priming, meaning I do decap step separately. I've also recently went back to single stage loading (using the Turret without the indexer). I think I actually like it better. I don't shoot massive quantities so...

    45 colt

    You are correct that that is a heckuva large case to fill with a small charge of faster powder. When I started loading 45LC, I used Titegroup because of it's purported insensitivity to powder location in the case at detonation. You can barely see the powder in the bottom of that chasm. More...

    First squib, ever.

    Thanks all for the commiseration. :o Bullet popped right out of the barrel. It had barely engaged the rifling. I've been loading on a Lee Turret for quite a while. I really need to rethink my reloading strategy. This has kind of spooked me a bit. :(

    avon cabelas

    I tend to go to my local Cabelas for very specific things (ammo, reloading stuff, shooting accessories). Luckily, haven't had to ask anyone for directions yet as they can be hard to track down. I love having the store here. Only place around here that even has 22LR ammo (and tons of it).

    How Do You Use CLP?

    I don't use CLP to clean. I do use it for lube occasionally, but mostly I use it to protect. Last thing down the bores of my guns when cleaning is a lightly CLP'd patch. I also use it to protect the finish of my blued guns (anti rust, I guess). I love the stuff. I also use it for the locks on...

    First squib, ever.

    Hey all. Been shooting and reloading for over 25 years now and experienced my first squib tonight. Shooting my LCP with my own reloads tonight and couldn't get the next round to load. Looked in the chamber and found the casing still there. Not sure what I was thinking, but... Pulled out the...

    Do You Carry With a Round In the Chamber While You CC or OC?

    My gun works a lot better as a gun if I have a round chambered. YMMV.
