I inherited a bunch of reloading supplies and loaded ammo when my grandfather passed away. Among this was a bunch of 270 130 grain Hornady spire point ammo and components (likely from the 1980's). They shoot well out of my gun but I had total jacket separation on a broadside 75 yard shot on a...

I have a Savage 116 stainless 338 Win Mag and I’ve tried multiple loads in an attempt to find an accurate load. So far it seems to like 250 grain Speer Grand Slams the best but the best I’m getting is about 1.75” groups at 100 yards. The gun was actually given to me by my father and I suspect it...

I’m going to Africa next year to hunt plains game. I’m planning on taking my 338 Win Mag. I have 225 grain Accubond and Partitions and 250 grain Speer Grand Slam components and am going to start working up loads. Which of these bullets would y’all recommend and does anyone have any pet powders...

I went duck hunting this weekend at Reelfoot Lake. Good hunt, we got a lot of ducks. I was talking with one of the fellas in the blind about how I was just getting into duck hunting and my duck boat needed a motor. He said he had an older 9.5 hp Johnson in his barn and I was welcome to it...

I have a Remington 870 Super Mag that I've had for several years and have used to take quite a few turkeys and a couple deer. The gun is dedicated only to turkey and the occasional slug deer hunt on a local WMA. It has a scope on it. The problem is that it has a 28" barrel. This long barrel...

I am going on my first duck hunt ever to Reelfoot Lake in West TN in a couple of weeks and I have a couple of questions. It will be a two day guided hunt. I have a Remington 1000 with a 3" chamber. I've been hunting for 20+ years and shoot often, just never duck hunted. My questions are...

I put a full sized stock on a youth model Winchester Model 70 .243 that I've had since I was a kid. I wanted to hunt with the gun this year for nostalgia. The gun always shot lights-out with 87 grain ammo. With the new stock on it, it will shoot the first shot to point of aim, then the next 2...

Hello all, I purchased a lot of 250 pulled Federal Trophy Bonded Tipped 180 grain bullets and I am a little stumped on load data. The bullet is kind of long and looks very similar to the Barnes Tipped TSX. I've only loaded Barnes bullets in a .308 in the past and had terrible luck getting them...

I'm looking to purchase a new in-line muzzleloader for next year's muzzleloader season. I've got one of the original Knight muzzleloaders. It is very accurate, but it is a pain to clean. I'd like to get a break open style. I'm leaning toward the T/C Impact and have heard mostly good reviews...

I just purchased a used 870 with an 18" barrel for home defense. I have a 1 year old and I am looking for a good way to keep him away from it but still keeping it readily accessible for HD in the bedroom. Does anyone have any ingenious ways of securely storing a shotgun? I've been thinking...

I just bought my first Glock. It is a generation 2 Glock 19 unfired in the original box. The old man who had it bought it brand new when Clinton got elected. He brought in a bunch of guns to the local gun store that he been collecting over the years but never shot. I got a great deal on it...

I just picked up a trade-in Ruger LC9 at the local gun shop for $310 out the door. It looks like it has never been shot and came with the box and all standard equipment. I think I did pretty good. ;) I'll let you know what I think about it after a box or two of ammo.

I'm looking to purchase my first hi-cap autoloader and I've come across a Glock 22 Generation 1 for $375 out the door. It shows some holster wear, but it appears to lock up up tight. It has Trijicon night sights, however I don't know if those things dim and need replaced over time. My...

I have a Taurus Tracker .44 Mag that shoots 240 grain bullets about 8"-10" high at 25 yards. It shoots about that high at 50 yards also. I've adjusted the rear sight as far as it will go, but it still shoots high. I plan to use this for hunting this fall so I'd like to get it hitting dead on...

Has anyone had any luck using pheasant loads for hunting turkeys, specifically in a 20 gauge? When looking at the shot size, load weight, and velocity they start to look about the same. Federal Premium Wing Shok 20 gauge 3" 1 1/4 oz. #5 1300 fps $.80 per shell...

Question- I've read several things saying that you cannot load military 7.62 NATO brass to the same specifications as civilian .308 brass. However, I have read (on THR) that there is no difference between military 30-06 brass and civilian brass as far as case capacity and pressure concerns. Can...

TN is voting to make an amendment to the state constitution that hunting and fishing should be a constitutional right. I'm all for it. Here's the article out of the local paper. http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2010/oct/13/hunting-fishing-ballot/

I bought some once fired brass online and in the bag of 100 mixed headstamps I found a few Frontier cases and one Sears case. Anyone have any idea how old this Sears case is?

Can you use a Lee crimp die made for a .308 on a 30-30? Thanks.

I hunt with a .54 cal Knight muzzleloader and in the past I have used round balls with no problems other than difficult loading. I tried Power Belts a couple of years ago and got excellent accuracy, but I'll never use them again on an animal. They are too explosive for hunting and I lost a...
