Been shpping around for another AK and can’t believe how much they’ve gone up since my last one, which is a WASR I paid $300 for a while ago. Seen several on the market online and on Armslist and decided to get this Hellcat. New, unfired with a brace for $800. Only modification I’ve made is...

Cruised thru Cabelas today and was flabbergasted at the price of IMR4350 on their shelf. $73 for 1 lb is preposterous. So I took a drive out to a LGS and they had several lbs @48.99 so I grabbed 3 more to increase my stock. It was $39.99 there a few months ago and went up $9 since so I...

Might have a line on a NIB Polish WBP Jack in 7.62x39, but am unfamiliar where it falls in the AK quality positioning. I only have a WASR at the moment and a couple of SKS and want to add another AK variant to the collection. Asking price is $1,000 NIB and I see them for about the same on...

Doing some research for an Elk load using a Savage 116 in .300 WSM and am tossing around the 2 bullets above in the 175/178 gr weight and looks for any real world experience with those 2 bullets. I’ve had great success with a 30-06 and 180 gr Nosler Partitions over the years on Elk in Arizona...

I pulled the trigger (no pun intended) on a left hand Savage 116 in .300 WSM on gunbroker a couple of weeks ago, received the rifle and started building loads for it. Paid $570 ish after shipping and am happy with the purchase. While visiting Pigeon Forge TN this week I ran I to Bass Pro to...

Down here for the weekend and like to visit LGS while traveling so any suggestions down this way beside Buds Gun shop in Sevierville? Mostly looking for reloading supplies.

So I was surfing thru Gunbroker one evening looking at left handed bolt action rifles and ran upon a used Savage 116 Stainless Weather Warrior in .300 Winchester Short Magnum and added to my watch list. Towards the end of the auction it sat at $490 ish so on a whim I put a bid in for $504 and...

Was surfing thru Armslist this weekend and ran across a Henry lever action 45-70 with a Vortex Crossfire II scope with only 10 rounds thru it for $850. Needless to say, I snatched it right up. Interesting enough, I can’t seem to find what series it is as it’s tube loaded with no side load...

Seems like Hornady shows Superformance as their speed powder in ,300 WSM. Anyone try it? I picked up a lefty Savage 116 FCSS Weather Warrior in .300 WSM and am doing some research on loads. Planning on using this for Elk and keeping my -06 for deer only as it previously was a dual role rifle...

When I first started reloading, there was a cost benefit savings in buying components and spending time on the bench. That was in the last 90’s when primers and powder prices were decent, but now I’m wondering if it’s just a labor of love. Here’s why I say that. I’m currently in winter mode...

I’m gonna swap the factory plastic stock off of a Savage Axis ii to a Boyd’s and would appreciate any lessons learned on free floating and glass bedding a new stock. The factory stock isn’t my favorite and made a lot of noise walking thru the woods during deer season so an upgrade was in the...

She bagged her first buck at 75 yards with the Savage 110 in .243 using a load of IMR 4350 under a 100 gr Hornady Interlock bullet this morning here in West Virginia. She hasn’t hunted with her .243 in 10 years so we blew the dust off, built a load (she previously bagged 2 does in the past...

Certainly wasn’t in the market for another .45 ACP but nevertheless, one came home with me. Met Howland937 at a LGS to exchange brass he was selling and after walking in and checking out the shelves we came upon a Fusion GI 1911 with a $349 price tag. Needless to say, I couldn’t pass it up...

At least in my experience today. Took out a relatively new (60 rounds of factory ammo thru it) Savage Axis II in 6.5 Creedmore today and ran a couple of different powders with Hornady SST 140’s in Starline brass. Heard H4350 was the cats meow in the Creedmore so I started there with loads up...

My buddy picked up some used 45-70 brass from a company online and they came with 2 different sizes and some I’ve never seen. Most measured between 2.080-2.095“ and 40 ish were between 2.025-2.035”. Also had a few cases different than the rest. He ordered them from Republic Ammunition. Not...

Finally got around to adding an AR10 to the collection, not it’s time to work up a load. Have a bunch of 7.62x51 brass that will take some work getting staked primers out and have several choices for powder, 4064 being one of them. Recon I’ll start with 168’s for now so any tips or suggestions...

Just noticed this today: https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-admiral-m1911-a1-cal-10mm-ultra-fs.html Since when did they join the 1911 10MM market?

Anyone tried out the M35 series Girsan pistols yet? Interested in getting a Hi-Power type of pistol as I was foolish enough to trade a Browning Hi Power back in the day. While waiting for the FN 510 paperwork to go thru I noticed the MCP35 Match in the display case and it caught my attention...

Stopped by the base AAFES gun shop today just to see what’s on the shelf and darned if they didn't have an FN510 available. Even had a 10% off sale and today was the last day. So now I have another 10MM added to my collection.

Buddy has a NIB CZ P10 that he’s offering me for $390 but I already have so many striker fired, DAO 9MM’s that I’m not really excited about it. What’s the benefit of adding it other than having more variety?
