When reloading using smokeless powder, my (and everybody else's) biggest concern is that right amount of powder is dumped in each case. As a standard practice, I reload on sunny day, in the morning or afternoon. After dumping powder in cases, as a last checking before bullet seating, I take a...

I was recently at local gunsmith and he checked bore on my rifle. But, to my surprise, he didn't use one of those borescope devices with long tube and eye piece, but little lens with a light, attached to flexible cable and plugged into bit larger cell phone. Looks to me noted setup that...

Last several weeks I was watching on TV shows from Great Britain about moving south in warmer climate, and being curious, I started looking what kind of handgun is allowed in some of those countries. Of course, for having handgun license is mandatory, but only for shooting on the range. Handgun...

On another thread about lasers for bore sighting https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/66-of-gun-stores-i-visited-say-these-optics-helps-are-absolutely-worthless.928103/ , a gentleman posted picture what happened when laser was left in a barrel and round fired. The result is rather...

I was yesterday at a local hunting show and was happy to see a dealer exhibiting red dot sights. I was interested into Aimpoint 9000L-2MOA and Hunter H30L-2 MOA. Since I didn't have a chance to examine those sights before, I took opportunity to see what Aimpoint offers. Since I am considering...

Let's put aside Scott's way he is making his videos, that should be another topic, but here is the test he had done using grossly overloaded round 45-70 in Henry lever action rifle. He stated that pressure is "upwards of 200 000 psi". That is about twice of proof load pressure in modern large...

I was always puzzled why some old long guns had a funnel on the muzzle. I new that must be a valid reason for that, because it doesn't make sense to make a gun to look like trumpet for aesthetic reasons. Then, I stumbled upon this video:

Just one question: WHY? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LS2MWvOXuOE To be frank, I am appalled!

I am considering Aimpoint 9000L for my hunting rifle, it will be used almost exclusively on wild boars. Now, I am thinking what would be better red dot size, 4 MOA or 2 MOA? One important note, I am hunting in mountainous ares, with lot of canyons, and gorges. Shooting distances are 50 meters...

I was watching video about 44 Magnum revolvers, and at 5:24 (just start video https://youtu.be/6ORTeARCPoM?t=324 ) was shown Bisley. But, from I could see, that revolver has a cylinder with smooth surface, no engraving (not my cup of tea anyhow). Looks to me that Bisley shown is not 6 shot 44...

I went so many times on Hodgdon load data website https://hodgdonreloading.com/ ; after selecting caliber, easy to pick any bullet, any powder, and every load has pressure listed. It was my No. 1 reference! This morning I opened again Hodgdon load data website and I saw it was changed. OK, I...

Just found on one German website two different pistols S&W 4506-1. My knowledge about those pistols is nil, I would appreciate help. This one has both, trigger and hammer stainless, or chrome plated: This one has both, trigger and hammer black (blue): Is any significant difference...

Looking for reloading data for 45 Colt, 300 LFN, about 1100 fps, from SPEER reloading manual. Since that load was mentioned in the post from 2009, I am assuming it should be in their manual from that year, or earlier ones. Unfortunately, original website where I found about this load is now...

FASCINATING ARTICLE; "The Mountain Gun" https://revolverguy.com/the-mountain-gun/ , 41 Magnum, 44 Magnum, 45 Colt! However, since S&W already made M25 in 45 Colt, with slim 6.5" barrel: The only revolvers missing are same style N-frame revolvers in 41 Magnum and 44 Magnum. Also, stainless...

On another thread we had discussion how to make a strong, reliable, yet reasonable heavy 357 Magnum revolver with 6" barrel https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/slimming-barrel-on-s-w-686.920362/ . I felt that it would be more appropriate to start new post here. Anyhow, I just stumbled...

I called it GP 100 Outdoorsman; basic revolver GP100, stainless, in 357 Magnum. Barrel 6", configuration as on Security Six. Hammer spur like on SBH. Total weight 35 oz, same as Security Six and S&W M14. I had S&&W M686-3, but sold it. With its 45 oz is as heavy as 5.5" SBH in 44 Magnum, but it...

I am on a market for a nice lighter 357 Magnum DA revolver, stainless, 6" barrel, and about 35 oz weight. I had S&W 685-3 but sold it. Its 45 oz is more than I want for 357 magnum revolver. Unfortunately, seems to me that there are just two options; S&W 66 and Ruger Security Six. Yeah, I know...

After many moons I started reloading 44 Magnum ammo again. Bullet is MP-Molds MP 432-256 PB SOLID https://www.mp-molds.com/product/mp-432-256-pb-solid-6-cav-alu/ , brass is Starline. reloading dies RCBS. I had noticed that in final process of seating bullet and crimping it there is a slight...

Just found picture of this weird revolver: I couldn't believe what's on the picture! Any idea who made this awkward and cumbersome revolver?

I just showed to my son firearms I have, and one of them is CZ 527 Lux in 223. When I took it and touched barrel, I had noticed under finger very slight roughness. Nothing visible, but when I took white cloth, soaked in oil, rubbed barrel, well, it became bit reddish. Obviously, very small rust...
