Looking for a varmint single shot rifle, preferably American-made, but not a Ruger, Remington or Winchester. I have guns from those companies already, would like to branch out a bit :) Calibers I'd be looking for would be .223 Rem, 22-250, .243 Win or 243 WSSM. Cameron

Since we have a lead-free ban in California many have turned to the fine copper bullets Barnes Bullets makes. I have a Ruger GP-100 (4" barrel) that I wish to pair with a lever-action, both in .357 Magnum. Now I know that Alliant's 2400 is the go-to powder for .357 Magnum for many people...

I'm getting geared up for reloading .357 Magnum and wanted to see what y'all thought of these two powders for .357 Magnum. Anyone like one over the other, and why? Cameron

I work in finance, and so I wear suit pants, an undershirt, dress shirt and a tie to work everyday. It's pretty hot in California, so clients never have a problem if I don't have a suit jacket on too. What methods of carry could work for my work attire, and if anyone has any suggestions for...

I won an auction on GunBroker over the weekend for a GP-100. The model # is GPF-340, blued finish, 4" barrel with a fixed notch rear sight. I'm very happy (or will be when it gets here...and then after the 10 day wait period...) as the price is excellent for a new gun, and it has everything...

I hear about how the older model 65 Smith & Wessons just didn't hold up to police/duty use., hence they came out with the slightly larger L-frame. I was curious, if one were to buy a model 65, or something of similar size and construction, just how many rounds would it take to break the gun...

This gun has recently caught my eye, but I don't know a lot about it other than I like the matte bluing, as opposed to the fancy deep lustre shine on the Model 27's. I was all set on a stainless steel one but these caught my eye! What kind of prices should I expect to see? Are they...

I've been looking at the Colt website and I can't figure out what the differences are between some of the variants they make. Perhaps if I just tell y'all what I want in a 1911 you can point me to the correct variant. I want a 1911 as close to the original John Browning design as I can get...

I bought a Frankford Arsenal media separate bucket/basket thing. You have this plastic basket you spin slowly so the media sifts into the bucket below. Helps especially with bottleneck cases as sometimes the media doesn't want to come out. Unfortunately it makes for a ton of dust, and...

I know they are a great outfit and their prices are wonderful but man I really hate their attitude about shipping handguns to California. I called because I saw they had a Smith & Wesson Model 619 for sale, which I cannot find anywhere on online or locally. I asked why they wouldn't ship to...

I've almost got enough saved up, and of course, Smith & Wesson has a $50 rebate right now, so that's great! This is not the time to tell me to get a Colt or a Ruger, I've decided I want a Smith & Wesson, so please respect that. The 627 Pro is an 8 shot, the 686SSR is a 6 shot, and the last two...

I've been researching my first revolver as of late, as being a reloader I can really tap into the versatility a revolver has, as it doesn't have a narrow operating window to worry about like an autoloader does. That said, it seems that there is a consensus that a N-frame Smith & Wesson is not...

I was wondering, does Federal use Federal brass in their American Eagle products (.357 Magnum, specifically) or some substandard kind of brass? I ask because it's on the cheaper end, which is good for plinking, and if the brass is decent, I could potentially reload it at a later date. Cameron

Is it supposed to be kinda milky and thick? It's clumping in my walnut media, I had to take a spoon and mix it up as it was tumbling. Cameron

Obviously the Smith & Wesson 99 and the Walther P99 have a lot in common. The frames are both made by Walther, just the slide and barrel are made by S&W for the SW99. One of the things that attracts me to the P99 is the AS trigger, but the SW99s have a lifetime warranty. So I have two...

I need to get my first set of calipers for measuring case length and overall cartridge length. I know that with scales some of the cheaper electronic ones can be finicky, does this hold true for calipers? Which would you recommend and why? Cameron

I got a Hornady Lock 'N Load single stage press. I'm trying to resize some .30-06 brass, but the shell won't go all the way up into the die. The last 1/4" or so won't go in. I've tumbled the brass for hours, wiped it, sprayed some One Shot on it, even a little inside the neck...what gives...

I keep waffling back and forth between a Model 619, 7 shot, or a Model 627, 8 shot. I like the grips on both, and I figure it would be better to have that extra round and not need it, than need it and not have it! That being said, I don't think either gun comes w/ speedloaders or moonclips...

Specifically, the 627 Pro. It is listed as having the following features, perhaps you guys could explain to me in plain English what these upgrades are, as my knowledge of gunsmithing is mostly non-existant. Chamfered charge holes Custom barrel with recessed precision crown Bossed mainspring...

Hey folks, I have a pair of questions: 1) I have a M1 Garand I want to sight in at 25 yards, but be zeroed at 100 yards. I've been told everything from 1.5" low to .25" high. And just to make sure I have the process correct, I put the target at 25 yards, aim at the bullseye and actually...
