Someone is going to say "this should be in the reloading section".... well. The question I have is regarding the rifle. I have a 7mm weatherby magnum and brass is getting hard to find. I have successfully converted several 7mm remington magnum cases to 7mm weatherby magnum. My concern is...

My aunt has a shotgun that came into her shop that has interested me. It's very old. It's an old side by side. It's a rabbit ear style. It is a percussion cap style from what I can tell. Most likely a Damascus barrel. The only markings I have found on it are "Peifer" on the side of the receiver...

I loaded up some 45 ACP today. They were a whole bag of bullets I got from a buddy. They are cast lead, very nice. Very consistent weights. They are all 215-217 grains. I couldn't find the exact bullet in my load info. I used the Lyman manual to try and get COL for them. The manual said...

I picked up a box of 150 gr. speer Hot Cor Round Nose bullets in .308 diameter. I don't have a speer manual, but have several others. I really havent found much that has similar BC and whatnot. Anyone use this bullet or have a speer manual to shoot me some starting data? Thanks.

I picked up some 32 grain Barnes varminators for my 204 the other day. I checked the Barnes site and they don't have any data for this specific bullet. I was curious if anyone had loaded this bullet or had any data in their manuals on it. Thanks!

I picked up a pile of various guns from my aunt and uncles shop today. I have identified most of them but there are two that I have yet to figure out. One is a Pietta Colt Replica of some sort I am guessing. It has a navy scent on the cylinder, so I am guessing some sort of navy revolver. I...

Well, I have done a few simple restorations in my life. Nothing too complicated. Mostly clean stuff up, replace a few broken parts, tune up the woodwork, etc... I picked up a Ballard Model 3 I believe from my aunt and uncle. I paid 75$ all said and done. It is in pretty poor condition...

I visited my aunt today and she had this old rifle come into her antique shop recently. It looks like it was a 22 caliber black powder rifle judging by the condition of the bore. However there are no markings other than the serial numbers. All of the numbers match. But I can't figure out what it...

Ok guys and girls. I just decided that I am going to take the plunge and head west for my first elk. I have done a fair amount of research about what I should be practicing with, what load I should be working up, etc... The problem is, there are so many people with so many different opinions...

I have an older .270 that is built on a Mauser action. I also have a .270 that is built on a model 700 action. These rifles were all individually specced out and built by my grandfather. Here is my question. Is a mauser action, a mauser action. If I were to have that mauser .270 from a...

I cannot seem to find a Harris bipod around here anywhere. They do however sell Vanguard. I am not sure how these rate, are they any good? Are they worth the money? Should I just order a Harris? I kind of like to shop locally, help these guys out in these times, but I want to make sure and...

I am currently trying to put together some heavier loads for my 6.5 Grendel. I picked up some 6.5mm Hornady interlocks in 140 gr. I would love to shoot these, however I cannot find any load data on this particular bullet. The new hornady manual only lists data up to 129 grain bullets. Has...

I have been a shooter all my life. However I have never really had a good grasp on shooting beyond 200 yds. I have been fascinated with shooting up to 1000 yds for quite some time now. However, I have no idea how to calculate windage or even elevation for various rounds. I shoot mainly...

I have an AR-15 with the smooth aluminum free float hand guard. It has a rail on the top of the gas block, but there is nothing on the bottom. I would like to be able to attach a harris bipod to the bottom in the event of doing some different types of shooting. I guess I am just curious how...

So I have decided that the 6.5 Grendel is the way to go for my latest AR build. I considered the 6.8 but the long range capabilities of the grendel seemed superior to me. Here is what I am looking for. What companies should I look at, who should I steer clear of? What twist rate should I...

I was just curious if anyone has built an mp5 or an mp5 clone. I have done some looking around and there are a few places to get parts. I have checked out HKParts.net and they seem to have some good stuff. Just curious about anyone's experience. Please let me know. Thanks!

I have some winchester brass that has small pistol primers. All other 45 ACP brass takes large pistol primers. I read the box, it says that winchester uses them to achieve the ultimate sensitivity or something like that. But it also says they do not recommend reloading 45 with small pistol...

i just finished my latest project. I cleaned up and restored a Remington Model 16. Except now I need a new project. Any ideas on what to pick up next? I don't like to drop a ton of cash, so something readily available would be great. Let me know if you guys have any ideas!

I have nearly completed my restoration of my Remington Model 16 rifle. I just cannot figure out the assembly of the bolt/extractor/etc... section. Does anyone have a photo of the bolt assembly of this rifle or an exploded diagram. I have the parts photo from Numrich, but that doesn't help. I...

I have everything but this one little part. I am looking for an extractor, not an ejector for a remington Model 16 22 semi auto. Any ideas? Numrich is sold out and I havent seen one on Gunbroker for a while. Any other spots I should check? THanks.
