Over the years of following forums I've noticed that almost everyone insist on hard cast bullets for penetration on tough/dangerous game. Since FMJ bullets don't expand or even most plated bullets why aren't they just as good of an option?

I'm considering a SR 45. I have fondled one a couple of times but not shot one. About the only thing I've seen that I dislike so far is the safety. On the gun I handled the safety could be swept off easily during the draw however I couldn't detect that it had been. (no distinct click felt or...

Opinions? Assuming that both fit and feel right, and this is for range use not carry. Is there good reasons to consider one or the other? x

I have an early 70's Remington 700 that I would like to replace the recoil pad on. There are NO screw holes to be found in the old Remington pad. An email to Remington went unanswered. Were these pads glued on? If so what is the best way to remove it? Thanks in advance for your replies!

I was working up some new loads using Rainier 165 gr plated bullets for 40 S-W. Testing with a chronograph showed extreme spreads of over 108-136 fps. These loads were using Hodgdon data for Rainier 165 bullets, Universal powder and small pistol primers. Powder was measured accurately...

In March I started this thread to get opinions about changing grip angles to make the gun fit and perform better for me. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=747451 Of course there were a lot of folks with the opinion that I just needed to train more to adapt to the gun. I could always...

Is there any practical way to modify the grip angle on a polymer pistol? I was thinking of maybe building up one of the replaceable backstraps on my FNX. Has anyone tried this? What material did you use and how were the results? FYI I want to change the angle to match my other 2 favorite...

Mods, if this is in the wrong place please move or if inappropriate delete. As a member of several forums I constantly see threads about which caliber is best for about every animal on earth. The gentleman in the story below lives about 17 miles from me and has had 2 mountain lion encounters...

Many years ago during hunting season ( I wasn't hunting that season, just driving the Jeep for Dad) I was standing on a mountain road while my Dad was off chasing deer. I heard a bullet ricochet toward me but never did hear the shot. To this day I've wondered just how close I was to being a...

I'm looking for a fair price for a Buckmark. I shot the gun a couple of years ago and there was some feed or extraction issues. I don't remember exactly. As I recall it is a bottom end gun with a 4 inch bull barrel, about 8 years old and very little use. It came from Sportsman Warehouse on a...

I have a load for american select 158 jhp in 357 mag cases but would prefer to load in 38 special cases for one event. So, does anyone have any loads for american select in 38 special using 158 jhp? +P levels would be fine but not necessary. I've not been able to find any information...

I shoot a 357 magnum and reload practice rounds using a medium crimp. I trim all my cases so the crimp is uniform. I have a class coming up where I may not be able to recover my brass so I was considering using some 38 special cases which I have plenty of and can afford to loose. My...

I was taught for years that if a gun goes click instead of bang to keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction for 30 seconds because you may have a hang fire, then eject the round. My question is since instructors teach to immediately eject and chamber a new round is there any danger? Or, do...

I have some CFE 223 but can't find what primers to use with it. My thought would be regular small rifle primers and not small rifle magnum primers. This is for .223 in a mini 14. Your thoughts?

Anyone using CFE 223 in 223 and what are the results?

I've been setting the chrono about 10-12' in front of me for pistol measurements, Is that distance adequate to avoid muzzle blast for 223 and 30-30 rifle rounds as well?

Is there any reason for or against using HB bullets in 380? I'm specifically referring to Berry's. I've always used FB but was thinking about trying the HB. Thoughts/Opinions?

Ever heard of this brass? Who makes it and is it any good? I found some at the range yesterday and have never seen it before.

I've been thinking about the subject for some time now and it would be a very tough choice for me to make. So, I thought I'd see what all on the High Road have to say on the subject. The title says it all. What would be the deciding factors for you and in what order of importantance? woods...
