I posted a while back about a Remington Rolling Block in 7x57 that I have, and safe loadings for it. Someone mentioned that there were excessive headspace issues with many of them. I remembered something about the fired brass, but I couldn't remember details. I came across some of the brass...

Has anyone used the NRA 5.11 Select Carry Pistol Pouch? I was thinking about trying one out for my P225 Sig for hiking, biking, etc. I've used fanny pack holsters often during various outdoor activities where seeing/using fanny packs isn't unusual, and I was hoping to get some input. Thanks.

-Or What Would You Do With This Enfield? I got this rifle from one of my grandpa's buddies years ago before he passed. I'm guessing it was sporterized in the 50s and is chambered in .30-06. It shoots good and wears a Lyman Alaskan 2.5x scope on Buhler mounts. It's heavier than my 98 Mauser...

A buddy of mine called my attention to this pistol safe. I'd never heard of them and I was wondering if any of you had...

Has anyone tried the 140gr. Barnes XPB in their .35 Remington or .356 Winchester loads? I was just doing some semi-out-of-the-box thinking and wondering if the all-copper bullets, being longer, would have enough bearing surface to stabilize properly; and if they would be tough enough to stay...

I have a Remington Rolling Block in 7mm Mauser that my Grandpa bought in the 50s that I haven't shot for years. I loaded some light loads for it years ago, and never had a problem. The gun is in good shape but I don't know for sure the strength of the rolling block action. It seems to me it...

I can't seem to find any data for the length the .358 Winchester Lee trim length gauge trims to. I'm actually loading .356 Winchester, but aside from the rim, everything else should be the same. I wanted to try to work up a load using the Hornady LEVERevolution bullets. Hornady lists the...

Has anyone tried the Hornady LEVERevolution in their .356 Winchester handloads? I haven't done any experimenting with loads for my Big Bore '94 for maybe 6-7 years. LEVERevolution bullets weren't out back then. Thinking about trying them out.

I've been looking at compact polymer pistols lately to use as a CCW/Trail type gun and struggling with the decision between a M&P 40C, a Glock 29 or 30 or maybe even a sub-compact XD 40. I have recently decided that I may not be willing to give up the comfort or feel of the longer full-size...

I've been trying to decide on a compact polymer-type auto for some time now and one consideration that has come up is that of "magazine safety" vs. no "magazine safety", and I was curious what THR members thought and their experiences and/or reasons.

I'm looking for a gun to serve as a CCW and trail/woods type gun. I got some good feedback in another post here a few weeks ago (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=556319), but have since come up with a few more questions and was hoping to get some more feedback and hear your opinions...

I dug back into the bowels of the safe and pulled this out for the first time in years. It's a 95 Mauser by FN in 7x57 that my grandpa bought around 1957. Seems like I remember seeing a receipt for $17.95 or so from some post-war liquidator. It came semi-sporterized, just the way it looks in...

I'm thinking it's time to move into uncharted waters for me, so to speak. I'm looking at getting a most likely smaller autoloader to serve ccw / trail gun nightstand duty and I'd like to bounce some ideas off of you all and hear some opinions. First off, I'm mostly a wood and steel guy and...

It's been a long time since I originally posted a question here looking for an essay or story I'd read years ago. I finally came across the piece that I was looking for and thought I'd share it. My original post was too old for me to reply to, but is here...

My dad is thinking about re-scoping his Browning BAR Lightweight .308. He likes a Nikon Buckmaster that he saw with the BDC reticle. He thinks it's more clear and brighter than his 2-7 VX-1; although he was looking at the Nikon in 3x9-40. The Leupold has a 32mm objective lense. If he does...

I was thinking that I'd like to try a pocket holster. The CCW gun I carry the most is a Colt Cobra 2". Has anyone tried the Safariland Model 25? Does anyone have a different one that they really like that I should look into? Since the Cobra is a 6-shot, the cylinder is slightly larger than, say...

I've been researching different prospects for a autoloader to carry and use for trail gun purposes. Could someone please tell me if it is ok to load copper-plated bullets like those from Extreme Bullets, in handloads to be used in guns with hexagonal-rifled barrels. This could play a big role...

I'm not proud of saying it, but I went years without taking my MkII apart mainly because it kept working and I didn't want to mess with it. After literally thousands of rounds I thought I ought to do a good thorough cleaning, but I can't get the mainspring housing out. Actually I thought it...

I've been debating the new auto idea for quite a while and after considering a few possibilities, like the idea of finding a S&W 1066 or 1076. Depending on my activities I'd carry it in a fanny pack or a hip holster, and maybe do an occasional action pistol shoot with it. I've got far more...

Does anyone have or know anything about this? I don't know too much about it, but it seems I remember seeing some sort of write up on it back maybe in the early 90s; or maybe it was something in the Dixie Gun Works catalog back then. I'd appreciate any information or help that any of you may...
