    Tasco scope.

    Guy at work gave me an old Tasco scope. Said it was 30 years old, and he didn't think it was any good. Put it on my 700, 3006 and went to the range this am and this 30 year old Tasco works as good as new.

    reusing fired bullets.

    Recently as the snow has been melting I have been picking up brass that has been fired over the course of the winter at a sandpit down the road from me. While picking up the brass I have found several 9mm FMJ bullets that were fired into the snow. The snow stopped them and they never struck...

    Cz527

    About a month ago I traded my Model 7 in .223 cal for a 1903A3, a gun I have always wanted. Almost immediately I missed my .223 as that was my coyote rifle. A very accurate rifle for what I used it for. Well, the other day I came home with a CZ527 .223 carbine. I gotta tell ya, I don't miss the...

    Para GI Expert

    Picked up a new Gi Expert today. I've been thinking about this one for a while. Glad I got it. I put 50 reloads and 50 commercial thru it and I really like the way it handles. The 3 dot sights are a real help for my 50ish eyes also. Anyone else have one, and how do you like it?

    I have a question for you guys who cast your own bullets. Today I finally decided to give it a try. I have the mold from Lee for 125 gr 9mm bullets. Its the two cavity mold. I used wheel weights.

    New SR9

    I bought a new Ruger SR9 this morning. Came home took it apart cleaned it up and headed out to shoot it. I put 50 Mag Techs and 50 reloads thru it. Not even a studder. This gun seems to recoil less than the other 9mms that I own and is really comfortable to shoot. I think its a keeper. I bought...

    Brass on the ground

    On my drive home from work I drive by an old sand pit where people and some slobs shoot. I stop every day and look to see what kind of brass people have left me. Today I picked up 40-Fed 3006s, 160- LC 5.56mm, and 40-Fed 308s. A pretty good day for a reloader. I was curious about whether other...

    Wal-Mart 22 ammo

    Three months ago I bought 2 boxes of the Remington Bulk packs of 550 count .22s at Wal-Mart. Well, I've fired one full box and I have come to the conclusion that this ammo is pure crap. There were 75 rounds that did not fire and I'm betting that well over 1/2 of the rounds were not loaded to...
