    Winchester large pistol primers for 44mag H110 loads?

    Prevailing wisdom says I should use mag primers for my H110 loads. That's what I do in the 357mag (Winchester small mag pistol or Federal's small mag pistol). Now I'm going to load the 44mag with H110. However, Winchester WLP is the only common large primer around here. It says it's for...

    Load advice for Ruger Redhawk 44mag 5.5" bbl

    I need some advice on a proper load for my Redhawk. I plan to use it primarily as a hunting and camping sidearm and a primary hunting arm at times (whitetail deer, *maybe* black bear if not too large and a good shot is available). I would also be using it for long range plinking, steel, etc...

    Dan Wesson 744

    I've found a Wesson Arms 744 (Palmer, Mass) with a 6" fixed barrel for $350. The trigger is decent (better than ruger, not as good as S&W) and there is virtually no endshake. However, I understand the palmer guns weren't very good. The serial number is 44S0025xx, if that helps any. The shop...

    6.5x55 case trim length

    What's the proper "trim to" measurement for the 6.5x55? The only loadbook I have that gives a number says 2.155". I want a second opinion. Thanks, Chris

    Stack On Gun Cabinet Shelves

    I have a 14 gun cabinet from Stack On. Mine came with three nifty shelves that attach to the door or back wall. Does anyone know where I can find more? I'd like 2-3 more, but they don't show them on their website (that I could find). Chris

    Winchester Dynapoint 22lr

    Does anyone know if this has been discontinued? I haven't seen it at Wallyworld in a while and Midway has it listed "Out of stock, no backorder". My 10/22 loves this stuff. I only have 1 2/3 boxes left. :( Chris

    Load suggestion and advice for my M37

    As stated in the "No LWCHP for my M37" thread, my M37 hits very high at 10yds with 158gr bullets, +P or not. S&W has asked me to send the gun in for a checkup due to this. The gun is accurate and the windage is dead on. With lighter bullet loads, POA and POI coincide, so I do have...

    No LSWCHP for my M37

    I fired my RSR S&W M37 for the first time last night. I had intentions of using Winchester's 158gr LSWCHP for my carry round. Well, that isn't happening. That load and my 158gr target load impact several inches high at 10yds. They're accurate, but way too high. Federal's 110gr Hydrashok...

    I hate my Contender 30-30

    It's boringly accurate. It's a Super 14 barrel on a pre-G2 frame. I have a Bushnell 2-6x32 scope mounted. At 50yds, from sandbags on a wobbly range table, I can easily put 15 shots through a hole smaller than a quarter. When I shot it off one of the rifle tables (no wobbles or movement)...

    Hunting gear and tree stand

    How in the heck do you folks get your stuff to your spot in one trip? I hunt mountainous public land and use a hang-on tree stand. My stand has backpack straps, but I also like to have a pack for my gear. I typically carry water (camelback bladder), food, stuff to make a fire, binoculars...

    Alliant Power Pistol for 357mag

    Has anyone used this powder in the 357mag? I have nearly a pound left from when I was hotrodding the 32acp. Since I don't load 9mm, I have no other uses for this powder. It looks like it might be a good choice for moderate mag loads, but some info I found online makes it sound like it's...

    Took my non-shooting buddy to a falling plate match

    My friend came into town the same weekend a gun club in MD was holding a falling plate match. Since I really enjoyed my experience there a year ago, I talked him into going and competing. He' not a gun person (not anti, just not a shooter), but agreed to go after I told him just how much fun...

    TC Contender scope problem?

    I have a TC Contender with a Super 14 30-30 barrel and Bushnell Trophy 2-6x32 scope. When I went to fire it for the first time the other night, I ended up having to crank the elevation all the way up for it to get close to POA at 25yds. I bought everything used, so there's the possibility that...

    Help on various Contender barrel types

    Not caliber specific, but what do the various terms such as "Hunter" and "Super14" mean? Chris

    Which Contender Barrels?

    I just picked up a Contender. It came with a 357mag barrel. What other barrels should I consider? I plan to hunt and target shoot with this gun. Also, which length barrel for a pistol or carbine platform? Chris

    FIE Titan parts needed

    I've been given a 25acp FIE Titan. Well, part of one at least. I need some parts to make it whole again. Before anyone starts, this is not to be a carry gun, simply a fun project and a plinker when done. Please, no lectures on why I shouldn't carry a 25acp. I won't. I carry a 32acp...

    Oh God, please help me

    I've developed a sudden case of "pimpgunitis". I've got it in my head that I want one of the following (in order of preference): Nickel plated with gold accents and pearl grips Blued with gold accents and pearl grips Blued with gold accents and rosewood grips <sigh> I've held...

    Can someone identify this old gun?

    Here's a pic, the other 8 pics are links so we don't hurt the folks on dialup... It belongs to a friend of a coworker. http://mysite.verizon.net/allencb/oldgun/2.jpg http://mysite.verizon.net/allencb/oldgun/3.jpg http://mysite.verizon.net/allencb/oldgun/4.jpg...
