    New Rifle 30 Nosler neck OD question

    I have a new Cooper rifle in 30 Nosler. Bought brass (ADG), bullets, powder etc. Bought the competition s-type Redding bushing die. SAAMI Specs tell me that loaded cases should be like .340-.343, but the ones I'm loading are closer to .337. Is this unusual? I did not resize the new brass...

    Long range hunting/shooting scope under $1000

    I'm in the process of buying a Cooper rifle in 300 Win Mag and want to top with a deserving scope. I have never bought a scope over $300, most of mine are Leupold, Burris FFII, and lower priced Sightrons. Right now I am eyeing the Swarovski Z3 4-12x with the Ballistic Turret. It runs about...

    Thoughts on colt refinishing a 1911?

    I know its a bit taboo and can kill resale value, but I recently bought a 1979 Colt Gold Cup National Match born on my birth date in 1979. Gun is in good overall condition and has all orginial parts, but obviously has some wear on the bluing since it has been shot. I am giving serious...

    I want a revolver but know nothing! Help!

    So, I own 4 rifles, 2 shotguns, and 2 semi auto pistols. I'm ready to buy a revolver but have only shot a handful of them and truly don't know much about them in comparison to other types of firearms. This gun will not be a CCW. It will probably be in my nightstand for home defense and used...

    Is it crazy to load .45 ACP in a single stage press?

    So, a few years back I finally convinced my buddies to invest in the RCBS Rockchucker Reloading kit. I had handloaded for awhile with a friend and mentioned to them how much cheaper it can be for rifle, but more importantly the accuracy differences I was able to achieve. Things have gone...

    Are old Marlin 60 .22's = to new Marlin 60's?

    I'm considering buying one. Afew friends have had them and they have all shot superb. I'm curious if the new builds are as good as the old. I noticed right off that my friends' older ones hold 17+1 I think and the new ones are 14+1. Any other differences? Thanks MC

    Which .243? Savage or Tikka

    I am going to be buying a new rifle in .243. This will be used for both hunting pigs/yotes as well as being a range gun. I reload and love to shoot for accuracy at distances up to 500 yds. I have narrowed it down to two rifles that I have never owned either of. A savage 16 FCSS with the...

    Tell me why not to buy for CCW a CCO 1911

    I have owned a full size 1911 that I ccw'd, It concealed ok, and I loved the platform which leads me to believe that a commander slide on an officer's frame would be ideal. Colt just came out with a new one taht Talo prepped up, and Dan Wesson has the one I think I truly want. Opinions...
