I see that Norinco makes 1897 replicas, however I'm curious as to whether or not they slam fire like the originals. Anyone ever try this?

Does anyone have some useful 7.7 Jap data? My handbook doesn't cover it. I need OAL, trim to length, and powder charges for IMR 4064. Any info would be of great use.

I'm fairly new to BP and have a few basic questions. I picked up an inline .58 muzzleloader a few weeks back and want to take it to the range. How many grains should I be using with a patch and ball? How many for a maxi ball? Are there any companies that make sabots for .58 cal?

Maybe not right now, but sometime within the next few years I'd like to start doing some wildcat stuff. Does anyone have and opinions on a good starter cartridge, preferably in the .30 cal range (and .308 diameter is best!).

So I'm looking for a way to make resizing easier. What I usually do is resize all of my batch halfway, then go through and do it again so there's not that much strain put on the press, the die, the brass, or especially my bad shoulder. However, I was thinking of taking the expander out of the...

So I found this funny little gun at my local shop and decided to have them set it aside for me, since it's chambered in .308 (I know, I know, 7.62*51 Nato isn't quite the same, but whatever). I didn't know anything about the rifle, so the fella in the shop filled me in a bit and told me that...

So I've started thinking of getting either a K98 or a 1903 to add to my collection and I'm wondering what sort of prices I'd be looking at. I'd prefer to get a 1903 simply because I can get brass pretty easily for 30-06. Are there any companies making replicas that are worth anything? What...

The local gun shop has a pre-transfer bar Blackhawk for sale for $450. What do you folks think, is it a fair price? The gun is in great shape.

So I'm thinking of buying a Smartcarry holster for my snub nose J-Frame and was wondering if anyone else has any experience carrying a revolver in one. I'd do a different set-up, but I need to have an appendix carry for work since I have to bend down to pick things up often.

So I started reloading down at the sort of opposite end of the logical spectrum, with a Dillon, but have recently picked up a Redding Turret Press to resize and do some more fine tuned work with and realized that I don't know jack about shellholders. Can I buy any shellholder that's marked as...

So, I bought a J-Frame a while back, hoping to replace my v10 ultra compact as a carry piece, yet I'm still unable to find a decent IWB holster. I bought some cheap little thing from the holster store on ebay and the damn thing keeps the handle up about three inches higher than my comptac IWB...

Does anyone know if the seven round and eight round Wilson Combat mags are flush with the bottom of an officer sized 1911?

So I'm considering making my case prep a bit easier by picking up a power case trimmer in the near future. Doing more than a few rounds on that RCBS crank case trimmer is no fun. I found this really cherry looking trimmer from this fellow: http://www.giraudtool.com/ and was wondering if anyone...

Anyone know of a company that makes heavier than 150gr. .277 bullets?

So I've been reloading some .308 brass for my M1A and haven't been able to get a very good batch. I think my bullet weight might be one of the biggest issues. I'm using some cheap 165 gr. Rem. soft point. Should I be using the more standard 147 FMJs for the gun? I ran in to a fellow at the...

So I'm thinking of picking up a gun chambered for .300 WSM in the somewhat near future. I was checking out the Savage website and noticed their new accustock and was wondering if that was worth anything. I'm sure there are much nicer bedding systems out there for custom guns, but how does it...

I picked up a .357 Rossi J-frame revolver the other day, hoping to keep it as a carry piece for a little while so I'm in the market for a good holster. Anyone have any recommendations?

I'm looking to get a scout type of gun and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Savage model 10FCM. My old man has one on order, but it won't show up for a few months since the owner of the shop is out of commission.

So I'm finally getting around to trying to make my V10 a bit more user friendly and I was wondering if normal 1911 grips will work on it. Also, is there some special way to take the wrap around rubber grips off? I have smaller hands and can't work the mag release well with those big honkers on.

I haven't been able to get my Springfield V10 Ultra Compact to reliably shoot factory loads. I was told by the guy I bought it off of that since they have tight tolerances they need high end defense rounds. I just started to reload for .45 ACP and was wondering what sort of luck people...
