I am searching for a very low recoil bolt action for my son to begin to deer hunt with. My prefered load is the 70 grain Hornady GMX or the 70 grain Barnes TSX. Both Hornady and Barnes give data to load to 223 or 5.56 pressures, which I have done with the GMX for use in the AR-15 at 5.56...

I am considering a reproduction rifle for fun and likely hunting but i am curious if point of impact will be near point of aim in the 20-70 yard range? Obviously with the sights adjusted to the shortest range setting. I am leaning toward the shorter 1858 Enfield, but open to the 1853 if it...

Copper and lead prices spiked in 2007 and are essentially unchanged since. Therefore 2007-2012 ammo prices should return as ultimately supply will catch up to demand. Fuel is similar to 2012 prices. Looking back i am predicting brass cased 9mm to be about $11/50 and brass cased 223 to be near...

I found a 5 1/4 inch drop tube made by Forster sold by Midway and it had good reviews. It seemed most other drop tubes were shorter. Are longer tubes of more practical value or are longer tubes severely limited by diminishing returns? It is for 308 Win mostly if it matters. Thanks.

I cannot find any reference to this brand here at THR and would like to seek any imput as to their quality. The price of jacketed handgun bullets seems more in-line with plated bullets, not jacketed so I'm wondering if there is a catch. http://www.rozedist.com/ Not reloading yet, just...

Does anyone have any experience with the "New Asian Military" 30 round M1 Carbine mags at CDNN? I am looking for a source of magazines and it seems difficult to find quality carbine mags (15 or 30 round). My Standard Products M1 should arrive tomorrow from the CMP.

Looking at a few ballistics charts, it seems like most hunting ammo is not loaded with boat tail bullets. I'm curious as to why if this is true. Why waste enery when it seems so simple to use an aerodynamic bullet? Comparing 180grain 30 caliber loads at 300 yards... Flat base bullets...

I have an ORF G1 FAL which I ordered in Feb and received in April. I am happy with the build time. I have not yet worked all the bugs out of the rifle though. Problems: 1. FSE trigger group allowed the hammer to chase the bolt forward occasionally causing the rifle to double. I fixed...

I have been given an M1 that has a few problems. It is USGI made in 1942, barrel 1967 with .308 chamber insert. The biggest problem is that it shoots 15" groups at 100 yards with slight keyholing occasionally. It is 100% reliable with South African and Australian 7.62mm ammo. The op rod is...

Is the barrel lug on a G1 (FAL) considered an evil feature? It is not a bayonet lug, grenade launcher, or flash suppressor. The barrel is not threaded, but the intent of the lug is for the attachment of a flash suppressor. Is it legal to buy a G1 with a lug on the barrel and only attach a...

I wish companies were a bit more honest, not that they are actively lying, but when someone intentionally deceives me it is pretty frustrating. Here is an example from Century Arms: .308 NATO Ball FMJ (147 Gr.) 10 rds./plastic pack, 640 rds./can. Packed in .50 cal. ammo cans. Boxer...

I have a new shooting sling marked with the letters "MRT." The sling is light in color and looks like it has never been oiled. Do I need to do anything before I use it? I have no clue how to care for leather products, so details would be appreciated.

I'm curious why this round is not a popular chambering for commercial rifles in the US as manufacturers seem to be coming up with as many redundant cartridges as possible, why not make commercial rifles in the 8x57JS round? It of course is only academically different from .30-06, but that...

I bought 5 boxes of surplus .303 ammo today and I am curious where it is from and if there are any problems with it. The ammo comes 10 rounds to a box, each box containing 2 loaded clips. The box has the following markings on it: _____________ 10 Cartridges .303 INCH Mk 7 in 2...

Can you carry a handgun while backpacking in a national forest in TN? With a CCW permit can you keep a loaded handgun anywhere in your car or are there specific rules as to where it has to be? How about without the CCW permit- can you have a loaded handgun in the car? I've been to...

How do you adjust the windage on a K98 Mauser? Do you have to remove the front sight hood?

I will be moving this summer and I am curious about the shooting range situation around these towns. My favorite type are the public ranges in WMA's or national forests as it is hard to beat the ventillation system or range fee.

I have accumulated a good portion of once fired brass in 9x19 for possible future reloading or to sell and I have recently started shooting GA Arms reloaded ammo. My question is should I keep the once fired brass seperate from the GA arms which is of course fired at least twice?
