Search wasn't very satisfying, one thread (or post?) and it was about the 77 Mark ii. Is there a trick to getting the plastic medallion out of the (plastic?) grip cap without butchering one or the other? Question was asked in another thread but not answered and didn't really pertain to that...

Had an interesting thought today while prepping brass for fireforming in a 22-250 Imp. After tumbling, sizing, and trimming 60+ pieces I decided to weigh some (ended up doing all of them). Most, maybe 80-85% came in at 156-160 grains, but a few from 148 up to 162. So got to wondering what...

I'm new to this aspect of reloading, am working on forming 22-250 Rem (once fired in standard 22-250) to Ackley Improved. Today I ran through 40 rounds, 4 x 5 each of two different powders loaded in 22-250 R-P cases, CCI 200 primers. Out of the 40, eight did not fire. When I got home I pulled...

Years ago an older (than me) shooter gave me some 25 caliber cast bullets gas checked 85 -grain, and a month ago I got curious enough to try them in a 250 Savage with reduced loads. This was a "just because I can" project. I loaded five each of the 85-grain bullets with Unique, 8- 9- 10- and...

I came into a box each of 75 grain FP and 87 grain spitzers, cast, with gas checks. I suspect they were for a 25-20 or maybe 25-35, neither of which I have. I do have the 250 with the old slower 1/14 twist barrel, and would like to "shoot 'em up", but don't find any data for cast in the 250...

Is there a source for Torx screws to fit the barrel/rear sight rib on the Buckmark? Mine has the allen head screws, even with the "star" washers (original) the screws shoot loose, sometimes within a hundred rounds. Allen is better than slot, but if torx are available I would sure use them.

Longtime rifle hunter, never used a shotgun. I have an older (70s? 60s?) Wingmaster and thinking of setting it up with rifled/cantilever mount barrel. But everything I see is 3" or 3-1/2" chamber, will that work with the 2-3/4" receiver? My limited shotgun knowledge tells me no. I have...

I was gifted one of these (not asking for opinions here) but no manual, only the gun. The bolt and bolt release, and the loading gate are all locked up and I can't figure out how to free them. There is a button at the front left of the trigger guard that won't move either. The safety button...

I have a type 38 Arisaka that has been rebarreled to 7x57 Ackley, part way out on the barrel it is marked "Ashton (in script) Made in USA" and over the chamber (looks hand stamped) "Banzet 7x57Ack". Anyone have any information? It also has "1954" (again hand stamped?) hidden by the stock...

This is my first and only Mauser, I don't know much about them. The bolt has a Buehler safety which clears the scope, but is only a two-position; either fire position or bolt (and sear?) locked, no center position. My disassembly/ assembly book tells me to go to the center spot before...

Attended a training course for 4H air pistol instructors Saturday, and the subject came up. "How would that work for you?" One person suggested that, if you were using a sub-six hold normally, a "sub-three" hold with the pistol held horizontally would likewise give you a center shot.After some...

While I was in one of my meditative postures (??!!) I got to wondering .... does the rotational speed of a bullet decrease as velocity decreases? I realize there is probably only a fraction of a second to a few seconds until impact and subsequent zero RPM, but what do you think? For ease of...

I recently acquired this caliber, with a set of Redding dies, not expecting brass availability to be a problem. 2 sporting goods stores and 2 reloading stores in town and no brass to be had in any of them. And I can't bring myself to lay out the $$$ for loaded ammo just to get the brass...

I just acquired a 99 in 250/3000 and have a couple of questions. I have searched here and on 24hourcampfire without finding what I want. Approximate age for S/N 520xxx? This has a Bishop stock that I'm not thrilled with, but it's OK at least until I find out how well it shoots; how hard is...

Hoping this is the right forum for my question.... I've just spent over an hour searching for a holster to fit my 629 (Mountain Gun) 4" barrel with an UltraDot red dot scope, with no satisfaction seemingly to be found. It's just kind of a fun experiment and I'm gonna shoot it regardless, but...

Been kicking this around in my mind for 2-3 weeks, and while reading, " Why the low number of viewers...", decided to throw it in here. I don't even know what kinds of responses to expect, if any. I've carried for a few months now, permitted in my home state and permit is honored in many...

I'm looking for a set of these (20 pieces total) for our 4-H air shooters. 1/10 scale, and I think they're 1/8" steel, welded, not cast. Anyone have suggestions as to where I can find them? Quicker would be better, National 4-H match is one month away. Thanks for help. Bandur

I'm an instructor for somewhat advanced (3-4 seasons) 4-H air rifle shooters, and am trying to find a couple of activities besides shooting targets for score, to fill in some nights of the program. We shoot 1-1/2 to 2 hours, one night a week, for about 3-1/2 months during the winter. We've...

Does the longer magnum brass cause strange things to happen if 44sp data is used to load to 44mag length? I have no 44sp brass but want to load milder, and starting load data for the mag is higher than max for special. Guess I could trim some brass back.... I've loaded rifle cartridges...

I made what looked like the right buy on a SS 44 mag Vaquero a few days ago. 97 manufacture, the cylinder pin pops out easily, but wants to bind when being replaced. When it goes easily it slips right in, but might take several tries to reach that point. Through the frame or through the...
