I finally got a new AR build to the range today for a shakedown run. 3lb trigger, Bushnell Elite 3200 fixed 10x, Burris PEPR, 18" AR Stoner barrel, 1/8 twist, 223 wylde. I did not fire a single factory load. My "get on paper" load was a bulk surplus 55grain FMJBT on top of 25 grains of...

Alright guys, I haven't been around the reloading forum very often lately due to having no supplies. Mostly I've just been loading 223, but I recently ran out of supplies for that, too. Anyway, I would like some load data help. I have 1 pound of Red Dot, a whole bunch of primed 45ACP...

I've been getting myself more and more worked up over acquiring a 1911. I do have a certain set of criteria that I would like to meet. 1. I want a 1911 from a good, reputable manufacturer. 2. I want stainless. Hate it if you wish, but that is what I want. 3. I want a fairly classic setup...

I just purchased my first rifles chambered for 7.62x54R and kinda don't know where to start. These are 91/30s, if that matters. I am not afraid of corrosive ammo, but don't want total junk. It will be to plink with, nothing else. No restrictions as to bullet metalurgy. I am looking for bulk...

Hey guys, I have been passively looking for a good red dot/holo sight for my AR for a while now. On a recent trip to the local gun store, the guy behind the counter showed me a Trijicon Dual Illuminated reflex sight. I didn't buy it, but was interested enough to do a little research. The...

When I started reloading for my 308, I picked a single bullet that I wanted to use (165 Sierra Gameking), a single powder (4064), and a single case (Hornady). I just wanted to get my feet wet and felt that sticking with the same components would keep things consistent. I worked up a favorable...

I'm looking for a decent quality "tactical" scope for an upcoming build. The rifle will be used primarily for punching paper and ringing steel at extended distances, but want to still be able to use the rig for hunting. So, basically what I am wanting is around a 4-14 power scope with mil-dot...

I'm looking into buying an older milsurp gun to make noise at the range. I'm mostly torn as to what I want to start with though. I am looking for recommendations. I want a rifle that isn't very expensive to feed, easy to operate, and is fairly simple and reliable. I've been around long...

A few years ago, I decided that since I would be duck hunting, that I needed to take my wood and blued 500 and paint it up. I replaced the wood with a plastic set, and went to work with a few cans of Camo Krylon. It worked alright, but I was almost immediately sorry for it. The stocks just...

I got a call from my friend the other day. He said his Mossberg 835 barrel had some kind of sludge in it that wouldn't come out. He dropped it off and I said I would get it out and bring it back to him. This gunk is the worst fouling I have ever seen. It is in the middle of the barrel...

Title pretty much says it. I'm interested to know which people prefer more when shooting at game. It can be ducks, dove, quail, or whatever. Had a discussion with my duck hunting friends, and opinions varied greatly. I know that there is almost no way to be able to accurately calculate which...

Ok, I am fairly new to reloading, but have been shooting 45 and 308 reloads with great success. Recently, I've been on a kick about getting my 45ACP loads just right instead of just going for a load in the middle of the pack. I have been loading Missouri's 200 grain "XD" bullet over 4.0 grains...

We started off the morning with me finding out my gun was frozen solid when we had 2 ruddy ducks come in. (they are the small ones.) They were the only birds we had come in range. My friend and I pulled out and went to get breakfast. We set out to a spot further up river. We didn't...

Well, we were motoring to some flooded fields in my friends boat and a branch flung a craving on his Benelli Super Nova. It is about 8 feet beneath the water in all kinds of nasty, sandy muck. We WILL retrieve it. It isn't going anywhere lol. I guess we get to see what happens to a Benelli...

Like the title says, I am looking for good places, online, to get 3" steel shot loads for duck season. I am not interested in the hevi-shot or other very expensive shells. I am looking at Fiocchi Speed Steel, Kent Fasteel, and possible Rio steel loads. I have used Wolf, Win Expert, and...

Alright guys, here is my quandry. I already load for the 308 so I have a little experience. I am just now getting around to buying my bullets for the 45 ACP. I am just wanting good plinking ammo. The gun is a CZ97, which can be picky. Hogdon clays is the powder I have available. I...

My friend just traded some stuff and recieved a pistol. It is a 629-1 stainless 6" barrel 44mag with factory wood grips. The gun is about 15 years old, but has only had a box of rounds through it if that. It is VERY clean. Also, it has had a trigger and action job done. It truly is the best...

Recently, my friend sold a firearm through gunbroker. The thing is, we don't know the proper shipping procedures for the transaction. We know that the included ammo can't be shipped in the same package as the firearm and we know that we have to ship the firearm to an FFL. (for clarification...

I have been on the hunt for more accuracy from my rifle. It is a Ruger M77 tang safety varmint in 308. So far I have floated the barrel, polished the sear and hammer, and had the action and barrel cryoed. I have been suspicious of the crown of the muzzle though. It is recessed, but has no...

Bow mounted pneumatic harpoon. :) Thar she blows!
