I placed an order for some bullets for my .41 Magnum, got the confirmation email, card charged, etc., but after 14 days, nothing. So I turned around and ordered the same bullets from Graf's, paid a little more, but 2 days later the bullets arrived. So I canceled my order with MBC. Wonder why...

Revolutionizing Soldier firepower: US Army adopts next-gen weapons First photos of 101st Airborne soldiers testing the Army’s new rifles 35W

I load lots of .30 Carbine and honestly, use whatever primer fits the pocket and that I happen to have the most of on the bench at the moment. SP, SPM, SR, SRM, it doesn't really matter to me. In loading for and shooting a dozen different carbines I've seen little difference in velocities, but...

I'm working out of town part of the week now and am having a serious coyote problem around the house; Coyotes-2, Chickens-0 so far. I keep an M1 Carbine, SKS and Ruger 10-22 in the laundry room gun rack, but they're all iron/aperture sights which can be difficult to see in low light. I want to...

Brian Pearce did a great article on 23,000 psi 45 Colt loads in the most recent issue of Handloader magazine. He goes into great detail with regards to which revolvers can handle these loads (Post-1990 Uberti's, S&W Model 25's, Ruger New Vaquero's et al.) and which ones can't (Pietta, Colt SAA...

Left the house on foot to break ice for the cows when I spotted a hog working around the edge of the tank. I had the Savage Axis .223 loaded with handloads consisting of a Sierra 65 gr. SBT. He was 175-180 yds. out and the grass and weeds were too tall for a prone or sitting shot, but I was able...

A couple of months ago I asked for recommendations for a rifle to replace my old Remington 788 in .223. The 788 is a fine rifle in and of itself, but I found things fell apart quickly with bullet weights over 60 grs., due to its 1/14" twist. Initially I was open to most any bolt rifle but...

Anyone have any data for the 7.62x25 and an 85 gr. Sierra, or just data/experience in general for this cartridge? I've loaded some 85, 90 and 100 gr. bullets with powders such as AL2400, AA#9 and H110, but muzzle flash is beyond ridiculous. As such, I'd like to stick with powders such as Red...

I'm looking for input for a replacement for my old Remington 788 .223. This particular rifle resides in the laundry room gun rack and its sole purpose is for coyotes and stray dogs that get too close to the house in search of chicken dinners, (which happens fairly frequently) and for the...

One of my buddies son-in-law contacted me saying he'd found "a gun" in a storage unit he'd acquired. As a collector/shooter of M1 Carbines, imagine my excitement when he texted me this picture- We met post haste and it turned out to be an Inland with the hideous Blue Sky import stamp...

I posted a review on another forum, but thought it might be of interest here. I recently sold off quite a few rifles in which I had lost interest, including an AK-47. I really like the idea of a 7.62x39 for a utility rifle around the place. I also prefer rifles, or actually carbines, that are...

Well, we're back at that point again where most powders are unobtainium. I've been using lots of AL 2400 in my M1 Carbines, but can't find it anywhere. A local gun shop was all but sold out of powder except for 4 ea. 1 lb. containers of AL 410. Since I've used 2400 to load .410 shotshell, I...

I have a Remington 788 in .223 that is my "laundry room gun rack" rifle for coyotes, feral dogs, etc. It belonged to a west Texas rancher and shows all the signs of having been carried in the floorboard of a pickup. The barrel is somewhat pitted and despite being capable of minute-of-coyote...

These are photos someone shared with me of a whitetail someone killed and damage done by the bullet. All I know is it was shot with a handgun. I think it's a somewhat rare look at actual damage done by a bullet from a handgun. Notice the lateral damage around the hole in the lungs and the...

….but I'm glad I did! Just a couple of weeks ago those voices started whispering in my ear that I needed a DA revolver in 45 ACP. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool single action guy, so I fought the voices for a minute, maybe even two, but finally relented. I found one, an old Brazilian export, on an...

For some reason I have an insatiable desire to buy one of these old 45 ACP revolvers. Anyone have any experiences with them? 35W

I confess to having an attraction to rifles whose purpose is to do many things. You know, that one rifle that is not perfect for any one job, yet will do in a pinch almost anything asked of it? Sometimes it's my Mauser based Scout rifle in .308 with the little 2.5X Burris EER scope. It's...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but here goes again....with caveats. I'm not a big semi-auto fan, nor a fan of the 9mm, but figure it'd be a good idea to have one around so I'm looking for suggestions. The caveats are I'd prefer a model with an external hammer and to have one whose...

I recently picked up a couple of AK's "just to have". The two things I like about the AK are the larger caliber (7.62x39) and the fact that the magazines can be found just about anywhere. But that's about it. Their accuracy while acceptable, is nowhere near to the AR's I own. To that end...

Thought you fellas might enjoy this article on rifle scope brightness. It dispels a lot of myths. For those who've never heard of John Barsness, he is in my opinion without equal when it comes to writing over scopes, rifles, calibers and hunting. 35W
