For some odd reason I've decided to try cast bullets in some of my .357 magnum rifles (4 Marlins,1 Henry and 1 Ruger bolt action) All I'm looking for is something to plink with (no hunting) Any suggestions, commercial source.?

I've got a G44 on the way and have a question about ammo. Has anyone noticed issues with certain brands of ammo? I realize this isnt a target gun and am interested more in functioning. I would say 90% of my shooting will be Mini Mags. Any issues?

I've got a Winchester model 70 in .270 on hold at my LGS. The gun is probably 90% overall, stock and bluing are very nice and the bore is perfect. The mfg is circa 1954. BTW, no scope or base/rings. I already own several rifles but have never owned a pre 64 model 70. Any idea the ballpark price...

The title pretty much says it all. I rarely take the time or energy to stop at such sales. A few years ago I was waiting to pickup a friend and noticed a basement sale across the street. I spotted several pictures from an African safari. I inquired about about the possibility of any guns she...

Was screwing around in my basement this afternoon pretending to straighten out the mess when a box of unknown origin appeared. To my amazement there were 9,000 small pistol primers I had forgotten about. Life is good.

For the past several years I've been someone who couldn't resist buying stuff at gun shows, gun shops or private sales. Even if it was for a cartridge or gun I didn't own I'd still snag it and add to the collection. When I read about people that can't find things to load some ammo I'm thankful...

I have an opportunity to purchase a Smith model 27 classic and am looking for feedback. I have a couple of pre-lock 27s (3.5") and really like them. Does anybody have any experience (good or bad) with the classic? BTW, it's ANIB, appears unfired.

Spent some time at our gun range Saturday with the regulars. The conversation turned to the shortage of ammo and reloading components. We all felt very smug that everyone had at least a five year supply of ammo and components. The moral of the story to some of you is STOCK UP WHEN THIS CURRENT...

Received a call from a LGS owner that knows I have a weakness for nice Smiths. He suggested I stop by as he had a gun he felt sure I would want, as it turned out, he was right. I dropped by the next morning and he unzippered a gun case with a model 27-2 with a 5" barrel that appeared unfired...

Does anyone have any experience with them? I saw one yesterday (.223) at my LGS and really liked the looks and feel and was hoping to get a first hand report from someone who had actually fired one. I already have several bolt action .223s and this one would be a new toy that I don't really...

My LGS has an ANIB model 639 on hold for me and I have to admit to not being overly familiar with this particular model. I'm sure there are plenty of board members with personal experience. Are there any issues or idiosyncrasies associated with this particular Smith? Thanks in advance.

I picked up a Colt 38 super today (5" fairly recent production) I bought a set of dies and ordered 1,000 cases from Starline. Any suggestions for a plinking load(s)? I don't plan to shoot any matches or competition, just plinking. Any thoughts?

Got a phone call from the owner of my LGS this morning asking if I would be interested in a Ruger Blackhawk in 10mm/40SW. He went on to explain his sales rep at Lipseys had called to tell him about the gun and would he be interested. After confirming a few details about the gun a friend and I...

I purchased one of the Ruger 10MMs when they first came out and need some sight suggestions. I'm playing with the idea of using the gun for very close range deer hunting (75 yards or less) and looking for some sort of sight for quick acquisition in most light conditions. I would like the sight...

I took my new toy to the range today to see if it would shoot. Since you can go anywhere and get the specs I will spare you. The trigger pull is probably the best I've ever seen on a factory Ruger semi-auto and the sights don't really need any improvement IMO. I'm not a great shot but was able...

Picked up a Bersa Thunder 22 recently (ANIB) and have had problems with consistent functioning. I've been having irregular feeding, FTFs and failures to extract. I've cleaned and lubed the gun and used 4 different Bersa marked magazines. As far as ammo goes, I've tried everything from Federal...

Went to a local 3 day gun show today and struck gold. There were a couple of "dealers" that had reloading components from a third to half of the regular prices. I got talking to one of the guys and he said they buy estates and they've been lucky recently to find box after box of components from...

Picked up a FA in 454 Casull (7.5") on Saturday and want to work up some weenie loads until I get time to develop some loads that'll do permanent damage to my hands. I was thinking of cast bullets in the 250-255 weight range. Decided against shooting 45 Colt in the gun since the deal included...

Recently picked up a Freedom Arms (Field grade, 41 magnum) and would like some suggestions for grips to use while hunting. I do have a set of Pachmayrs but I'm looking for something a little nicer without breaking the bank, maybe with a limit of $100.00. Any help?

A friend of mine already has a Kimber 10mm and is considering buying a Sig 220 also in 10mm. Before he pulls the trigger, he asked me if the magazines were interchangeable between the two guns. I couldn't give him an educated answer but I know someone here on THR would know, any help?
