    Ruger .22s: Are you Mk III and 22/45 uppers interchangeable?

    I have a Ruger Mark III Competition My best friend has a 45/22 Ruger. Don't know what the compatibility of the two are. All I know is my Mark III with CCI Mini-Mags shoots inside whatever my buddy can muster. I have the advantage of a Bushnell Trophy Red Dot for blasting a ragged hole...

    Worst mistake you've made reloading?

    My wife is recovering slowly, RonDog It happened in October 2008, a day before our daughter's wedding. Therapy and great doctors seem to help. She may never be up to "pare" but she can walk unaided, if in extreme agony. She rarely complains, but that's just her positive demeaner. I bought...

    ruined scope

    Eight Inch-Pounds seems mighty meager . . . Hope you also used gobs of Locktite and waited twenty-four hours before firing. My Burris Signature Select stays put with a bit more "inch-pounds of pressure" and some amount of Locktite. Locktite is the key to preventing screws from backing-out...

    Fairbanks Gun Show!

    Too Far West and North for me! Wish I could attend EVERY gun show, but unless it was within a hundred miles of Southwestern Michigan, that show was not intended for me to attend. I can attend Chicago through Grand Rapids shows with fervor. I live in the frozen armpit of Michigan. Gasoline...

    Why are gun stores/dealers the only business to charge credit card fees

    Super Question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My dealer claims they charge so LITTLE over cost that they cannot absorb the 3.5 percent overage charged by CREDIT CARD COMPANIES! I say it all B. S. cliffy

    Squib load- getting past the psychology

    Are we to doubt the verasity of factory loads? I KNOW my handloads will not malfunction, ever. I measure each powder load and use only the finest of components. A squib is a case full of nothing, fired via a primer with nothing to burn. This scenario is pure negligence of the highest order...

    Worst mistake you've made reloading?

    I expect never to find out . . . Reloading is safer than driving a car by far. Primers are SAFE. I've never witnessed a primer detonating a load on its own., and I've reloaded many thousands of handloads. Recently my wife was involved in a horrendous traffic accident, not of her making...

    Legal to disable safety?

    What the difference? Safeties are to keep people safe from stupidity. A finger is the greatest safety, but mechanical assistance HELPS. cliffy

    Obama Pushing Treaty To Ban Reloading

    STOP passing new laws! We cannot even enforce old laws! The immediate problem is the Mexican/American border! What will effectively stop this dilemma? Mexico must not be able to obtain more advanced firearms than Americans can obtain! cliffy

    Legal to disable safety?

    Don't disable Your safety! Commonsense would dictate NO! Safeties are installed to make you a safe shooter. Although safeties don't make you automatically safe, they surely assist. Commonsense should dictate, "Don't do it!" Are you asking for problems from "Anti-Gun NUTS?" My rifles are as...

    What is going on with Varget?

    Supply and Demand When demand far out-weighs supply, such as NOW, something is amiss. Backorders are guiding our reloading inability. Why are primers so difficult to make? Powder and Bullets aren't much easier to find. The demand is there, but supply is not! cliffy

    Shot my first reloads today

    Avoid Super-Light Loads! Follow the directions of a proper Reloading Manual. Too Light is often worse than too heavy. Pre-ignition from too light loads can be worse than adding a grain of powder to make certain. If your car's engine required 87 octane fuel, would you opt for 84 octane? A...

    Shoot a stranger's reloads?

    First I would unload an unknown reload, then . . . Determine the powder, then weigh the charge. If well-labeled, I'd try a round. If I couldn't figure-out the powder by shape or colour, I might merely reload every case. I've done this with many American-made Factory loads. One round can...

    Obama Pushing Treaty To Ban Reloading

    Only Americans can Protect America Mexicans enter America because we let them. Imagine a bastion of Americans guarding our entire southern border . . . Yet what would we provide but hundreds of thousands of dead Mexicans, who only seek a better life than in Mexico? I harbor mixed emotions...

    POWDER RECALLS - - Compiled information

    Relax! Recalls generally over-react to minor defects: I've found IMR Trail Boss Cheerios within my Hodgdon Clays powder more than once. NO Big deal! These powder structures are close to the SAME burn speeds. I actually tried to remove some Cheery little O's of Oats. Then I realized that...

    Worst mistake you've made reloading?

    Hope I never find out Reloading is step-by-step simple, so what's to error? Double-charge - No charge? Lots of recoil boot or a jammed barrel? Wrong powder selection or bullet WAY to deeply-set. These are all possible, yet HIGHLY unlikely. Reloading is basically SAFE. No FEAR should...

    Sniper Rifle or Deer Rifle?

    A .223 Remington with 60 grain fare is a DEER rifle A 60 grain Nosler Partition was designed for deer hunting. MOST .223 Remington ammunition is NOT deer-oriented. A 75 grain Swift Scirocco II bullet is deer-oriented, but not 1-in-12" twist oriented! Complex world we live in, but KNOW your...

    How do you talk to anti- people?

    Antis are Misinformed, as if that mattered to them Once he or she is eaten by a newly re-introduced Hybrid Wolf, his or her attitude WILL change ubruptly, if a bit too late to help others realize the raw nature of life in the wild: eat or be eaten.
