    Reloading input

    To start, it has been about seven years since I did any reloading and all my experience was pistol rounds on a Lee classic turret kit from Kempfs. Since then I have moved, gotten married, changed jobs, flip flopped with my schedule, had a kid, and put shooting on the back burner. Recently I...

    Aurora, CO

    Wife and I are headed to Aurora to see a friend of hers. Any shops worth taking a look at? I might get a little time to go look around while they are doing their thing.

    Tried Sporting Clays

    For the first time in 25 years of shooting, I decided to try out a real shotgun range. I have never shot Skeet, Trap, or Sporting Clays before today and found out about a local range that was closer than the rifle/pistol range I frequent, so that's what I did. I recently purchased a Remington...

    Beretta 92X

    Don't know how many have seen this yet but I figured I would share. No idea on pricing but I am going to venture a guess that it will fall between $1000-$1500. Edit: Found the Beretta link. http://www.beretta.com/en/new-92X-performance/

    Pistol caliber design question

    I read this article https://www.guns.com/news/2019/01/07/thomas-machine-and-design-reveals-handguard-adapters-for-ruger-pc9 and one of the photos that shows a side profile of the rifle looks kind of neat and got me thinking about why there isn't something like that in a pistol caliber with a...

    Gunbroker strikes again

    Disclaimer, I try to be as frugal as possible and look for the best price/deals I can and don't like to pay full or average prices for things. With that said I have been browsing gunbroker looking for new pistols that I have been wanting for a while. I managed to snag a cz SP01 and a new m&p...

    That's not a knife, this is a knife!

    Well I don't post a whole lot on here but I figured this was worth sharing. A guy has made a knife using aluminum foil, yes aluminum foil. Here is the link that has a video showing how he did it, I found it interesting from the material he used to the stones used for sharpening...

    Leupold VX-1 vs Redfield Revolution

    Is there any real difference between the two, in let's say either a 2-7x33 or 3-9x40 configuration? They are both under the same corporate umbrella, both offer lifetime warranties and they have the same cost. Is the coating on the Leupold better than the Redfield? Is there anything that...

    Aero Precision Complete Upper

    I have been looking for a complete upper for a new AR15 lower I put together. I keep getting drawn to the complete uppers from Aero Precision as I have heard good things about their stripped lowers and uppers and the barrels from BA that they have ownership over. Anyone have any experience...

    Reloading Manuals Question

    I have done some reloading with a friend of mine but since I have moved away I am looking at starting my own setup. I figured that it would be best to get some reloading manuals of my own and picked up the Lyman 49th and the Hornady 9th. I might pick up a couple of more based on a quick...

    AR15 question

    Does anyone know how far back the bolt should be able to go when pulling the charging handle, as in should the bolt completely go past the ejection port or should it line up with the rear most edge of the port or stop before completely reaching the edge of the port? Just to clarify I don't mean...

    Reloading mistake

    A buddy and myself recently started reloading .40s&w last year. We decided to start with Winchester WSF powder and had decided we were going to start with 6 gr of powder for the 165 gr and got our press setup for that load. When we tried to get bullets we couldn't find the 165 gr so we decided...

    Thinking of getting rid of a rifle....

    Howdy Gents, I am thinking of getting rid of a rifle I don't shoot very often. I have a Marlin XS7 in .308 and I like the rifle but my shooting just does not revolve around this rifle. I have taken it out probably 4 times since I purchased it and have put maybe 160 rounds through it. I...

    Shotgun Value

    Evening Gents, I am looking at picking up a shotgun relatively soon, a few weeks. I have been looking at autoloaders and mainly been eyeing the Mossberg 930. A buddy of mine told me of an older Remington 1187 that a mutual friend is selling for his dad as he has become ill and no longer...

    Ruger 22/45 disassembly problem

    Afternoon Gents, My buddy's brother in law that I met last night asked me to take a look at his Ruger because he was having trouble taking it apart. Having never owned one I said I could look and see what's going on and if I couldn't figure it out I would ask my online encyclopedia, i.e...
