I sent a Ruger KP90D .45ACP that I purchase NOS from a local shop back to Ruger awhile back (the shop is now closed, or I would have started there). It would FTE or stove pipe every third or fourth round with several types of ammo and different magazines. I own 5 other P90s and have NEVER...

My Brother picked up a Sig Sauer .223 AR 15 at Walmart today for $499!!!!!! :what: Was originally $1087 and they had them marked down to five bills. Says Made in Canada on the barrel and is not marked as a 556 model. What gives? t2e

One of my Stoeger M2000 12ga autos broke the ejector plunger assembly after about 3500 rounds (mostly 2 3/4 #4 steel). Called their CS line and the nice lady got one of their gunsmiths to call me back within 30 minutes. We exchanged a few emails where I provided pictures of the problem...

I have 600-700 Remington Sportsman Steel 12ga 2 3/4" hulls that originally had 1 1/8oz of #4 steel at 1550fps. I would like to reload these hulls with basically the same load, but have been unable to find a recipe for these hulls. Are they worth reloading? Does anybody have a recipe to...

Was shooting the SP101 .32h&r this morning with a box of Federal 100gr JHP that have been on the shelf for 10-12 years. Fired a few cylinders of various handloads and Win factory ammo with no issues. Went in the house for 10-15 minutes to grab a coke out of the fridge. Temp was mid 90's...

I am looking for a surpressed/silenced shotgun. One of the areas I duck hunt has so much hunting pressure that guys will sit on the side of the road in the morning listening for shooting and then hunt your spots when you are not there. This is private land, they are tresspassing, and after...

I am thinking of puting a scope on an 1858 remmy. Anyone make a brass bodied 2X pistol scope and rings? Second choice would be gloss blued. Looks like the mount would need to be milled. Looking for something that fits the "look" of the 1858. Thoughts? The 1858 is question has an R&D...

A LEO friend asked me to do a review of these three at my range. They are on the list of "approved" backup pieces the are allowed to carry and I currently have access to all three. I was also looking for a 9mm compact for the wife as well. I didn't snap a million pics or any of the gunmag...

I had a little issue with .32 H&R Magnum this morning. I had loaded some 85gr XTP JHP's (.312) with Unique. Starting load was 3.7gr. Brass was Starline, trimmed to length. CCI SPP. Light crimp in grove. OAL was 1.32. The pistol is a H&R 5 shot that has fired 300-350 rounds uneventfully...

I've decided I really need one of these. Is it available directly from NAA, or where? Not looking to spend a ton of money, since the wife has noticed several recent purchases. :uhoh: t2e

I now have a pair of Pietta 1858's with the adjustable sight and R&D Cylinders in .45LC. I have had great success with MBC 200gr RNFP over Trailboss powder in the Long Colt cases at 775fps. I get 25 yard groups under 4" offhand. :what: The only problem, and I've lived with it for 2000...

There have been several threads recently about the Howa rifles and how well they shoot out of the box and overall quality. I thought I would share this experience for those who have questions about them. This rifle was bought by a family member who asked me to shoot it an sight it in. Rifle...

I was in Wal-mart tonight and they just received a bunch of Remington handgun ammo. Maybe 20-30 cases of 9mm and 4 or 5 cases of .40S&W. The Yellow and Green box of 9mm ball was $39.45 per 50rd box! :what: The .40S&W was $44.95! :what: I asked the clerk to verify the price and it was...

I was measuring the chambers on a few different .308 rifles today to determine the distance from bullet ogive to the rifling to reduce bullet jump. Is there a "standard" for this? (saami spec) The reason I ask was three of the four rifles measured between .228 and .232(All Savage's) The...

Bought 100 pieces today from my local shop. I have used Winchester brass extensively in the past with good results. This lot measured 2.195 and longer!!! I had to trim all 100 pieces to 2.005!!! Am I being too picky, or is this much over spec acceptable? (BTW checked calipers and verified...

I've been having fun with a 1858 Remington revolver and a .45LC conversion cylinder. I would like to load some 147gr .452 roundballs in the LC cases using TrailBoss. 1) Anyone have load data for this combo? 2) What is the proper way to crimp the roundballs? 3) Do I need an over-powder...

I have a .32 H&R Magnum revolver and I am handloading for it. It is a NEF/H&R model R73 five shot with the 2.5" bbl. It is mid 1980's vintage. I want to load towards the upper end of the published data. Discuss... T2E

Took my new 1858 Remington out for a few rounds today. Fired mostly .45LC smokeless loads from the R&D cylinder, but also loaded about 18 rounds of blackpowder with round balls. Man, this thing is a blast to shoot! One of the most fun guns I've ever owned. Was about 6" high and 4" left...
