I think the public has access during certain times/days during the year, and curious if so, can anyone report on the experience? I'd be interested in informal high-power rifle shooting mainly, centerfire pistol secondarily. FWIW, I am a US vet if that makes any difference. Also, is there...

Any hands on work using a specific bullet/bullet and loads using bullets heavier than 55 grains? I'd like to have an expanding bullet option of a bit more weight (say 60-64 grains or so), and also be able to partake of some of those sweet blem/overrun sales I have so far not partaken of. I...

I don't have Quickload, or have ever seen actual psi pressure test data for these loadings, and am curious about this. Anyone ever see lab pressure data done for these/run, or can run Quickload for a decent guess to help out? Standard Disclaimer: I want to know in the pursuit of knowledge, and...

Most interested in ranges north of the city, but would like to hear of any you like around Columbus. VERY much interested in ones that allow shooting steel, and have in place steel rifle gongs/targets. Longer the range the better. Thanks for the tips.

If you want a quirky, obscure, and oddly interesting military bolt action rifle, the Danish made M47 has it in spades. One of the last designed and built military bolt action rifles, the M47 in 30/06 is a nice addition to any military surplus collection. I won't go into its developmental...

I retired early and am 52, just me, and want to move to a place where I can ideally again have a range behind my home, privacy, and peace & quiet. Currently live in NW PA, and am open to areas pretty much other than really hot and humid summers, crazy AZ type heat, dreary winters, crazy high...

What caliber would you have developed/adopted at that time period considering technology current for the time? maybe you would stick with it? Even with the propellants of the era, I think I would have gone along the lines of say 7.62x53 (basically a tiny bit of a necked down 7.65 Belgium), a...

It seems when French rifles are brought up, instantly will see "dropped once", or "white flag of surrender included" posts, despite what the truth might actually be. I'll leave politics alone here, and rather focus on the self evident, of this amazing self loading rifle. To some eyes it's...

I have been sticking to IMR-4895 because of the rifles DI design/short DI tube, and keep the velocity to just under 2400 fps (37 grains) with Privi 139gr FMJ/.263" bullets. No lubing of the cases and everything works fine as for functioning... Aside from the rifle being really, REALLY hard on...

Wondering if we will ever see a true quantum leap as it relates to ammo performance anytime soon, and how? Smokeless propellants and smaller diameter, more streamlined bullets when used in conjunction, are what I consider a true quantum leap over BP, and large caliber lead bullets... Dang...

If you have sold C&R/Curio and Relics rifles and handguns on GB, have you had better sales listing them under: "Firearms - Rifles - Bolt action/Semi-Auto" "Firearms - Handguns - Automatic/Revolver" Or "Collectable Firearms - Curio & Relics" category The Curio & Relics category lists all...

The barrel is in .22 Hornet, and made by Virgin Valley for an Encore frame. This means the barrel uses the proprietary VV hanger system for the forend. I'm wondering if I separate them, that means this wood could only be used on VV barrels using this system, potentially limiting potential...

Getting ready to sell my first firearms on GB, and want to ask some questions. FWIW, I do have an 03 FFL. - How about no sales to CA, MA, whatever? Sure see a lot of no sales to CA, even C&R, especially handguns it seems? - How about shipping insurance? Do you require it, optional, just...

My question is how do you determine how you will list your item with regard to reserve y/n, starting price, etc. In you experience, is it detrimental to have a reserve for the auction? How about no reserve and a reasonable starting bid or high'ish starting price, or combo of both? How has it...

Looking to see what the consensus is for a fair selling price/going rate for the pistol below from/for a private seller. I know the market will decide the final price; I'm simply asking where I might start, or what will make both parties happy. If asking for value input is verboten, please...

Looking for the largest pistol grip I can get from an off the rack, non custom maker for a Rem 700 LA ADL/BDL. I don't care about material, just need a huge pistol grip. I have a custom stock on my custom varmint rig, but want to see if anything easily available is worth looking for before I...

Not sure how do this other than: How about experienced reloaders who want to help new reloaders in person/phone, post their location/PM phone number to those who ask, and see if they can help out. I'm sure a lot of new equipment is in the hands of new relaoders who could really use the help...

Wonder if they are actually new formulas, or repackaged Olin/St Mark's products identical to Hodgdon/WW offerings? Some more new propellants along with "Power Pro" (copyright problem with Power Pro fishing line?). http://www.alliantpowder.com/whats_new/latest_products.aspx

In an earlier thread where it was stated that someone cut back a brand of .357 brass to .38 Special length of the same brand, and it weighed the same. I wrote: "Perhaps they now make .38 Special and .357 brass with the same web thickness for whatever reason? I seem to remember an article in...

Looking for actual wet newsprint or gel results (pictures) of how these bullets perform at 1000-1250 fps chronographed velocities. I know there are reports/have seen minimal expansion at low velocities. Thanks.
