How do most of you that use the auto tricklers (RCBS ChargeMaster or Hornady Auto Charge, etc) do so? Do you let the trickler dispense the full amount, or do you use a conventional powder measure to get close, then "top off" to the desired weight? I would imagine doing the latter for wear and...

I'm either lucky, or too easy to get along with. I've always viewed reloading for my rifles as either a way to shoot a lot more, or been lucky enough to come up with an accurate (enough) round for my needs. Recently bought a high-quality but apparently finicky 300 Win Mag. So now I need to...

I recently had a M70 safari in 458 Win Mag reworked to 458 Lott. Besides the rechamber, the spacer was removed from the magazine box and the bolt stop adjusted for the longer cartridge. Works great. I have another M70 in 300 Win Mag, which has always stymied me a bit regarding magazine...

On a recent trip to Africa, I hunted with a gentleman that loaded his rifle through the floorplate. He would place the rounds, shut the floorplate, and run the action to load. His rifle was a push-feed Schultz and Larsen, and I did not see a misfeed. I always assumed that the floorplate...

I recently put a Shaw barrel on an old Savage 110 that I had. Originally a 30-06, I changed to a 35 Whelen barrel, re-stocked and bedded, added a Winchester front sight and a Remington rear. It shoots well. The barrel contour is very heavy, and while it makes the gun a pleasure to shoot, it...

Bit of a strange problem when mounting a scope on a rifle last night. I've always used Leupold rings, but recently have moved to Talley detachables for the last two rifles. I de-greased the rings and screws, and assembled them on a new Zeiss Conquest. I snugged down the bottom two screws...

Recently didn't keep track of what I was doing and "oversized" some R-P 30-06 brass. When I fire hem, I end up with slightly protruding primers. Same batch of cases on same rifle, same load neck-sized doesn't have this problem, si I'm pretty sure this is the problem. Question is, if I...

Hello all, Got a new set of Talley detachable rings, with both levers and screw lock for a CZ 550 (No bases) No instructions were included, and I can't find any online. Anyone ever done this before? I would imagine that there would be a correct sequence of tightening the mounting...

Not a big fan of "what-ifs" as they are sometimes a bit over the top when not based on an actual event. But I found this on our local "Crimestoppers" website, and began wondering what the correct course of action would be for a CCW permit holder with an appropriate amount of basic training. in...

I have a Ruger Hawkeye MK II in stainless. It's been a great rifle, but I've never been a huge fan of the action when cycling this or other stainless Ruger guns. When working the bolt hard (as is my practice with any rifle) I tend to feel a bit of stickiness if any lateral pressure is applied...

I was reading a blog by Robert Boatman discussing the experience at Gunsite. He discussed a situation in which a LEO had a negligent discharge, but did not mention a name. He indicated tha tthis was someone who went on to make a name for himself as a gun writer. Anyone know who this may be...

Bought a new buffer tube, spring, buffer etc to switch my AR from a A@ to a adjustable. Commercial tube diameter. When I did a function check, the buffer was too long to allow bolt lockback. (Yes, it's a carbine length buffer) Checked without a spring in place, so it's def. the buffer or...

Going on my first elk trip this fall, and I'm working up a load for a Mk II Ruger in .338 Mag. Anyone have a good recommendation regarding the 225 vs 210 grain Partitions? Ballistics are nearly identical due to the better BC of the 225, but some seem to have better luck with the 210's...

Should have waited for all the details. Looks like I was wrong on this one folks. Still a sad, sad situation, but he should have known better. My original post: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=425606 Latest story: http://journalstar.com/news/local/doc4989d0db9793a862528290.txt

Read this article first. It was in the Lincoln Journal-Star online page today. After you've read it, go down one post and read the original story. interesting the way a paper can change it's reporting in the name of sensationalism...

Hello, Found a used Smith and Wesson M & P 9 mm. Light use, with only one magazine being used, clean internals, etc. My shop had it listed for 499, but recently dropped the price to $429. It has all the accesories, including paperwork and Warranty card enclosed in the case. Since I had...
