I want to shoot 1 oz of #8 shot out of my old muzzle loader shotgun, what is a safe black powder starting load? What would be a safe max load?

Read both good and bad about using a standard plastic wad used in shotgun shell reloading in a muzzle loader shotgun, most of the bad is plastic fouling the barrel and hard to get out. Sooo since both a standard shotgun and muzzle loader send the plastic wad down the barrel, why fouling in a...

Just thought I would share a pic of the 1863 Springfield, dated 1864, I picked up at a local gun show, barrel has been cut down to 32 inch, lock works great, this is my first muzzle loader, never even shot one. I collect, shoot trap and reload 16 ga, so a great addition to the gun safe.

I have a high standard 9 shot rev, it the Marshal made 1971 to 1973 with the alloy frame, owned it for 50 years and have put 10k plus rds thru it. lately when shooting fed rat shot, the cylinder jams, can`t pull hammer back or open cylinder unless I hit it. I have shot a bunch of the rat shot at...

Just bought this carbine, ser no starts with 225, trying to figure out when it was made, some places say 1956 and others 1957, winchester web site says 1956. Also it has a saddle ring, and from what I have read it was discontinued in 1942 as a special order. So has someone added it? see pics...

Looking at trading for a post 64 30-30 winchester made in 1966, bluing looks real good, but someone put brass tacks in the buttstock. any idea as to value? having a hard time finding a current value as these seem to be going crazy from the Yellowstone show on TV

getting into reloading 357 sig, already ordered a Lee die set, do I need a crimp die? also do I need a L Wilson cartridge case gauge to make sure head space is correct? also I can`t find any 125 gr .355 sig bullets, can I use 125 gr 9mm .356 bullets?

went to National gun day in Louisville ky today, Fed and cci primers were going for $150-$175, they were all priced that way, like they set the prices before the show opened, so screw them, I bought these 5000 Genex primers made in Bosnia for $80 per 1000. They seat a little hard, but doable...

I have an aimpoint red dot on this witness .40, its hard to grasp the slide, looking for a lever that will fit in the dove tail groove the rear sight was in, anyone have an idea where to buy one?

last couple of times at the range with my .40 sig 226 shooting at 25 yd with my reloads, half of my shots are up to 12 inches low. Have not tried another gun yet, I put a set of Hogue grips on it, but that did not help, any ideas?

I use a lee turret 3 hole press, I already load a lot of rifle, shotgun and pistol rounds, so I bought a 357 sig barrel for my .40 sig 226. looking to buy lee dies and see they don`t come in carbide, only steel since its a necked down case. So do I need to lube like I do for my necked down rifle...

I want to load .40 155gr lead bullets for target shooting in my sig 226. I have Universal powder that I load 6.0 grs for 155gr montana gold jacketed bullets, but my reloading manual does not have a recipe for lead, I need a load that will cycle the gun and not lead up the barrel, any ideas?

Just bought one, its an inside the pants holster for small 5 shot rev. it has no belt clip but the texture of the material sticks to your pants and holds it in place like Velcro, but not so aggressive, anyone use it for conceal carry? how well does it work?

here is mine, made in 1978, I like to shoot 38 special target loads, a lot easier on my hands. love taking it to the range and other shooters enjoy seeing it. only flaw is where PO carried loose ammo in the gun run and nicked the blueing, but for $400 who cares.
