I was going through some pictures today and came across one that brought back some great memories.. I don't remember the year but I do remember it was Thanksgiving Day, my hunting buddy and I walked off the meal with a little Pheasant hunting. Finished off the day with a cigar and a glass of...

I was poking around a local sporting goods store and came across this little gem it the used shotgun rack. I am a sucker for a used 870, and with the English stock I couldn't pass it up. The bluing is in pretty good shape and the stock is quite nice for it's age. According...

I have a stock mini 14 that I am think about selling to a friend of mine. I live in Colorado. He owns homes in Colorado and in California but lives in California most of the time. (CA drivers lic) The sale would take place in Colorado and the gun would remain in Colorado at his place here. If...

Just received this in a NRA Alert: Important Pro-Gun Bill Heading to Senate Floor in Colorado! Please Contact Your State Senator Today! Yesterday, House Bill 1180 was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill now heads to the Senate floor where it could be considered any...

For me it was my great grandfather. He was a quiet, hard working man who worked to live and lived to hunt and fish. He started me out gopher hunting the summer I was five or so, teaching me about how to safely handle a firearm and how to think like the animal I was hunting. After a couple of...

Let's say you just got a bunch of brass from some place that you know nothing about. What steps <b>and in what order</b> do you take when preparing these cases in preparation for charging with powder? I've noticed some folks prep their cases in slightly different orders and some don't include...

Some of you may have seen the thread about an old 870 SP that I had picked up at a pawn shop last week. The stock was it pretty tough shape and the action was so gummed up when I stripped it down and cleaned it chucks of grease etc. came out. I spent a few days cleaning it up and...

I am in the market for a new carry revolver/pistol an am looking at either a .380 pistol (haven't decided on model or make) or a SP101 in .38 that I can buy locally. My two main considerations are dependability and concealment. Let's disregarding caliber for the moment, and focus on...

While checking out some gun shops today I came across an 870 "Special Purpose". I'm wondering what the difference is between it and the Express Model? It looked to have a 28" mod cyl barrel. The stock was a little beat up and though well used seemed to be in good mechanical shape. I was...

I have a gift card for Scheels and was thinking about picking up a tumbler. I was looking at the Lyman 1200 and it seemed like it should do the trick. What do you folks that have them think off them? Would you buy another one or something else? What cleaning media do you use? thanks, hlq

I am just starting to load for a new mini 14 that I picked up and would like to know some of you favorite loads for the mini. I'll be shooting mostly 50 to 60 gr grain bullets i guess, but would like to try a few lighter bullets also. Bullets, powder.. Which work the best in your mini 14...

I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow that will take me through several states. CO, KS, NB, SD, ND to be exact. I'll be taking several long guns and a couple of handguns with me. They will all be cased but do the cases need to be locked, etc.? Just want to make sure that I don't have any problems...

I stopped at five gun shops this weekend looking for standard primers. All but one was out but they all had magnum primers. How much difference is there between the two? In a pinch can I use magnums and if I can do I need to adjust any of the other components? A couple of examples: 1...

I am getting set up to start reloading for my new SA XD 45 acp and would like to develop two rounds. Except for the bullet I would like to use the same components and would like them to shoot fairly close to the same. #1 practice and general use round, #2 SD/HD round Both will use a 185...

I was heading home for the xmas holiday (been working out of state) and stopped to stretch the legs, at a gun shop of course. I came across a "used" Springfield Armory XD 45acp for $420. Neither mag looks like they have ever had a round loaded, I don't think it has ever been fired. They were...

I am in the process of setting up a bench again for reloading. I have always used rcbs dies but have been looking at Lee dies. Of the two sets that I am interested in for my 243 win I'm wonder if you all have an opinion or the advantages of either. http://www.grafs.com/product/190574...
