    Help needed

    I’m wanting to load some .300 Blackout with 165 gr Sierra Gameking HPBT. But my problem is that my Sierra book predates the Blackout. And the only Whisper loads are for single shot pistol. I’d be much appreciative if anyone could post a picture, or a scan, of that page in their book. Thanks, Wyman

    .223 crimp dies

    I know not everyone crimps rifle cartridges, even those intended for auto loading rifles. This is not a debate on that. My question is, since I have both available, Lee FCD? Or Dillon’s crimp die? Those that have used both (not necessarily in the same cartridge), which do you like best? I’m...

    Star BM and JHP

    I have a couple of the Star BMs that J&G has had on sale for the last month. They function and shoot fine with FMJs, but I’m having trouble finding a HP load. I’ve tried what I have on hand, and nothing passes a simple function test. They all get hung up with the hp on the feed ramp. I’ve tried...

    Fingerprint questions

    With the form 1’s return time being what it is, I’m planning on applying for a few come January. I was planning on doing my own fingerprints, but have a few questions for those that have rolled there own, and been accepted. I know they have to be on a FD-258 FBI card, but... 1-Do they have to...

    Roll pin tension

    Tension may be the wrong term here. I am building 2 Colt “clone” 9mm carbine/sbr’s. I’m using Colt brand, pin in, mag well blocks. (Don’t ask why. Short answer is “because”.) I have a Brownells roll pin kit with miscellaneous roll pins ranging from 1/16” to 5/32”. Measuring my factory Colt with...

    Savage .308 ammo options

    So I got the itch for a new deer rifle. (Well I've had it for a couple years, just finally got it.) I got a Savage M11 Trophy Hunter package (accu trigger and Nikon) in .308. The barrel is advertised as 1 in 10 inches. Deer season is into it's 3rd week here, and don't have as much time as I'd...

    Western N.C. Gunshops

    I'm going to be traveling to western NC for work in a couple of weeks. I'll be west of Ashville and north of Highlands (in the Sylva area). I was wondering about any gunshops in the area that local (THR) members would reccomend for passing time? (And maybe picking something up.:banghead:) Any to...

    Quick question-Tuscon shooting.

    Did the shooting happen in a "Gun Free Zone"? I've heard it both ways, and was just wondering the truth. It reportedly was at a shopping center, which by GA codes is legal for carry. But I didn't know if AZ was different. (I wouldn't think so, but you never know.) Wyman

    SIG, S&W, other?

    I'm considering the purchase of a new carry weapon. I'm looking for a single stack 9mm, metal frame, DA/SA (aka TDA), compact size. Options that I'm considering so far are... Sig 239 S&W 3913/3914/908 If you have any other ideas that would fit my description, I'm all ears. Thanks in...

    S&w 360 ?

    Just to preface things a little, I have a 360 PD and love it. Today I was purousing through BPS, looking at the handguns, and saw a S&W 360 (the .38 +P model). This model had a different grip than any other J frame that I've seen. It was still a rubber grip. But it had a covered backstrap and...

    Treestand name and manufacturer?

    This is just a complete shot in the dark, but I'm looking for the name of a manufacturer of a specific climbing stand. Here's a description... As said, it's a climbing treestand. It faces the tree and has a sling seat almost identical to a Tree Lounge. (It's very similar to the Tree Lounge...

    Accutrigger questions?

    I'm considering getting a new rifle for this season. I've been looking at the Savage M10, and the Stevens 200. Is the Accutrigger really worth that much of a premium? How does the AT compare to a premium aftermarket trigger (Timney, Sharp Shooter Supply, etc.)? Would you buy the Savage? Or...

    Gun fit help needed

    Alright, here is my situation. I just recieved a holster that I had ordered for my S&W 28-2 6". The holster is a leather "Old West Classic" (or something like that) from the Sportsman's Guide. This set-up will only be carried while hunting, so price was more of a concern than comfort, etc. The...

    Is there a market for...?

    Am I the only one, or is there a market for the lighter weight hunting revolvers? I love the lightweight of my 360, but I'd love to have the advantage of a longer barrel for hunting. I'm thinking that something like a 686, but with the Scandium Alloy frame, and a 6 or 8 inch barrel. I know...

    Collections?

    All right to start with, this is not the normal "how many guns do you own?" thread. A comment in another thread got me to thinking. How many guns qualify as a collection to you? Wyman ETA-I'll start. For me it all depends on the guns. A mix and match group of 25 guns is not a...

    Stock question?

    Alright here's the deal, I know and understand how slight changes in a shotgun stock can change how they perform for the shooter. Being resonably new to revolver shooting, I don't really know how changes on a grip will change how it shoots. What I have is a S&W K38 Masterpiece (pre-M14) that...

    Old(er) S&W price check?

    To start with I've just recently gained a (rather large) interest in S&W revolvers. I'm not so up to par on identifying everything about them, models in particular. I need to get me a good book to study next time I'm at the bookstore (or order online). If anybody knows of a good book to research...

    AR lower manufacturers?

    Alright, I'm not too "into" or up to date on the whole EBR scene. (Even though at 33 yo it would be expected.) I used to own an AR about 18-20 years ago. Back then there were 3-4 manufacturers of ARs around. Choosing one was between Colt vs. the other guys jam-o-matic. The other guys...

    What's the big deal?

    I just recently bought a M&P 360 Cheifs Special (in .357). I never have shot pistols a whole lot. Mostly shotguns, with rifles falling in the middle, but well ahead of pistols. There were quite a few people on this forum (and others) that had me considering buying one of the .38 +p models...

    Headstamp check

    For all of you surplus shooters, I have a question. The last time that I went to the range to shoot all my old milsurps was last summer. (Yeah I know, it's been way to long.) I cleaned the guns the following day and didn't notice anything strange. I shoot Prvi ammo in all my metric cartridges...
