    .25 cal options

    In looking for a handy do-all cartridge I keep coming back to quarter-bore choices. Calibres up to .243 don't strike me as optimal for medium game or serious target shooting, and over .264/6.5mm are too much for varminting and informal practice plinking. So I'm trying to figure out which .25...

    P99 / P229, Quality in the name

    I'm going to go shop around for a mid-size 9mm. From my limited experience with combat-style pistols, I like the handling of these two the best. I'm told the P99 has excellent accuracy. I know the Sig P series are among the most solid pistols out there. These two are in the same price...

    Would you trust a .224 bullet?

    I just ran into a spare $1400. Yes I should buy something practical, or save it, but I want a new "fun gun" for varmints, pests, and practice. See, I'm strongly considering a .223 rifle, because you can use those for birds by loading it with just a primer and .22 cal pellet. But then I...

    Which rifle should be most available?

    I need a new .223 rifle, mainly for off-hand iron sight target shooting up to 100 yards. I also want it for varmints. It doesn't have to be a 400-yard tack driver, but I expect decent accuracy up 200 yards when I put my 9x40 scope on top. I'm judging on price, accuracy, and most of all...

    Another screwball question...

    - Need a varmint rifle. Was thinking .243 because I like the caliber and if I ever wanted to hunt deer with something besides a front bumper it would be there. - But I wonder if a .223 wouldn't be more useful to me - people load them with just a primer and pellet and knock down nuisance birds...

    Thermoset plastic bullets?

    I have a relative who is selling some off a few firearms, a Chinese SKS, some deer rifles in everything from .243 to .30-06, and some handguns. I've been keeping my eyes open for a .223 carbine to replace my .22lr plinker, since it's old and the barrel is almost unusable. I was going to use...

    Black powder in a 22lr?

    *****DISCLAIMER***** I like to tinker and experiment so understand that I'm not striving for anything practical here - I know threads pop up about reloading rimfires and the answer is always "no" or "why would you want to do that since 22lr is cheap?"... I'm trying for something specific...
