so, i just got my rifle back from being re-barreled. they did a nice job cosmeticly, but i have one real concern. the provided me with 2 spent casings that they fired through my gun, aparently to show me it was safe to shoot. anyway, the cases (both of them) are out of round at the base of the...

So, I have started in on this accuracy quest thing, I dont know if i picked a good caliber or not, but it is where i am going to start. I am going after 223 remington. Of course i have 223 and 5.56 cases, so that is another test variable. My goal, of course is as small as possible. I am...

without going into the real expensive brass (lapua, nosler, etc.), which run of the mill brass seems to last longer for you? (most times reloading before they are scrap) plaese group all major manufactures together, meaning R-P and Remingtons UMC under R-P, Winchester, win clean,super speed...

17 years or so ago, when i bought my 300 win mag, it was touted as enough gun to kill any game in north america. i went to the remington web site a few days ago, and their position now is that for the biggest bears, they reccomend either a 375 H&H, or 416 remington ultra mag. so, have the...

which do you prefer to informally shoot with. a semi auto pistol or revolver? just for fun. no competions or practice for competition stuff. and why? personally, i prefer a semi auto to shoot. they are more fun to me. better balance, more shots before reloading, and i honestly feel they fit my...

i am looking into coyote hunting for the first time. i have a freind, that owns 85 acres, that is willing to let me hunt it, and says he has a coyote problem. i am more than happy to help him, but i know next to nothing about hunting them. a different freind said a mouse squeaker will work for a...

has anyone ever soldered bullets? either to fill a hollow point, or solder 2 bullets together (which is what i am thinking)? i am curious if this can be done.

what is the normal bore size of a 45 caliber muzzle loader? i had a though about using 45 caliber muzzle loading bullets, 180-200 grain sabots in my 45/70, but i am not so sure if they will work.

just a quick note, to anyone sick and tired of paying for plated or jacketed bullets for their 380's. if you own casting equipment, the lee 358-105swc six cavity mold bullets will work in 9mm/380acps as long as they are sized down to .356". i bought this mold for my wifes 38 special, also...

i have several sets of lee dies, and have on and off has oal variations. yesterday, i was loading 380acp's and having a heck of a time trying to keep the oal even close to the same. after tearing apart the seater, and finding lots of play everywhere, i decided to something horribly "cobbled". i...

for me, this is a true statement. the reason is because in the snow, i can not find my spent casings, and i reload, so if i loose them, it costs me money. is this true for you as well, or has someone figured out a way to find them through the snow? i tried a tarp, but where i shoot, there always...

is there a reloading press out there that the spent primers do not fall out the side of the ram? i hate dumping all of the nasty debris right into the stroke of the ram, where it can work its way in between the ram and the press body, where it causes wear. plus, it drives me crazy. and i end up...

i know there are several different styles of barrel crowns. i am not really sure why. i know it is extreemly important that the end of the barrel is square to the bore of the rifle, and that some sort of relief about 1/2 way in helps to protect that crucial edge where the bullet leaves the bore...

so, i was claning my press up, after spilling powder everywhere by being clumbsy with my big club like fingers. after i got everything clean, i went to put a few drops of stp on the ram like usual. when i got the ram to the top of the stroke, i notice it seemed to have quite a bit of play in it...

can someone explain to me how changing powders can change the group size of any given gun? i can understand different velocities affecting group sizes, but how would the powder itself make a difference. in my thinking, 2100 fps should be 2100 fps whether it comes from imr3031, or varget, or...

my brother has a browning auto 5 made back when they used 2 & 9/16ths shells. 25 years ago, he had a gunsmith open the chamber up, so he could use 2 & 3/4 shells. so the"collector" value is pretty much gone anyway. now, he has decided that he would like to have a rib put on it. he talked to 2...

so i was cleaning one of my guns tonight, after shooting some cast bullets through it. it was leaded quite badly, and i noticed how rough the bore is. i just started paper patching, more as an experiment, than for steady use. anyway, that gave me a strange idea. could i paper patch some cast...

rossi r352 revolver, 5 shot 38 special. are these a decent purse gun, or is it something i should buy only if i do not want the wife to survive a gun fight??? just kidding, lol! it wont see a lot of use, target practice once a month or so, but we want it to work if she needs it! she has a HARD...

Natchez has a couple of these on sale for $59.+change. i want to replae 2 scopes on rifles i use mostly for taget shooting. they might be asked to take a crow, or some other small species occaaisoinally/ but most of the shooting will be at the bench. one is a tasco 4-12, non adjustable objective...

i have a remington 700, 300 win mag that the barrel walks as it heats up (the point of impact goes up). so reading and talking to several people, i decided to remove the "pressure point" in the stock to free float the barrel. i went and shot it yesterday, but it really made little difference. it...
