    Reloading 44-40 question

    i am considering the purchase of an Uberti in .44-40 vs .45 LC. This is due to the supposed greater accuracy and increased blowback tendency of .45 LC. Especially if I ever choose to shoot black powder in this Henry. However, I have never reloaded before. I do have a Lee Single Stage press and a...

    i have always loved the looks of the M14. I am looking to save up for a standard length M1A; but have been looking online at the M1A Scout Squad rifle. What are the main advantages of the Scout M1A? Is the accuracy noticeably less due to shorter length? It seems like it might make a better...

    Mine is very similar to yours in condition. Shoots with great accuracy. Ammo is easily available at Midway USA. I paid $250 for it in 2012. I wondered if it went up in value. No way that I would ever sell it.

    Best ammo choice for Enfield No 4 Mk 2?

    Very helpful info. I will try the 180 grain rounds first and see how they pattern. I just wasn't sure what grain works best for maximum accuracy. I will be living near the Ozarks in future months and won't be taking any hunting shots any further than 100-125 yards due to the iron sights and...
