    Well, here's my first attempt at reloading full bore .357 Magnum.

    I went out this morning to try out some .357 handloads that I pu together last night. I was using Winchester cases, Winchester small pistol primers, Remington 158gr. SJHP's and 14.1 grains of 2400 with a light crimp. I was shooting these out of my 6.5 inch stainless Blackhawk. I was also using a...

    Time to do the shotty!

    I'm going to be SBS'ing my Benelli Super Nova Tactical out fitted with a Comfortech stock and rifle sights. I tried to get my LEO's signature today but he was out. I'll have to get it next week. I'm going to be doing a 14 inch rifle sighted barrel and will be sending the receiver out to Orion...

    Took a three day shotgun class and changed shotguns. Range report and Course report.

    I finished a three day shotgun class this last weekend at www.tacproshootingcenter.com. I brought my 870 with me which is ammo sensative with the cheapstuff. Half way through the class, my 870 started sticking fired hulls in the chamber every four to six rounds. I got fed up with it and borrowed...

    I'm changing from Unique to Titegroup for some .357 loads for some 158 gr LSWC's. The lee manual list the min-over all length for Unique to be 1.580 starting at 6.0 gr. My bullet seating die is set at 1.585. The manual list the OAL for Titegroup at 1.610 with a starting charge of 4.5 gr of...

    WOOHOO!!!! Got my tax stamp in today.

    After about ten weeks, the BATFE sent me my tax stamp to put together an SBR. I plan on putting an LMT 10.5 upper on a Stag lower out fitted with a CMT LPK, CTR buttstock, MIAD grip with enhanced trigger guard. The upper will have a CMT charging handle, LMT FA BCG, Larue 7.0 rail, Larue EOtech...

    Did my shotgun barrel get hurt?

    I was at the range today with a friend of mine that is on the local Sheriff's dept. I brought my 870 equipped with an 18.5 in police rifle sighted barrel. He brought along some old dept ammo to shoot up loose in an ammo can. Winchester low brass quail loads. I really don't know the specifics. He...

    If lead was worth as much as gold, I'd be rich.

    I left enough of it in my barrel today after shooting my 6-1/2 inch stainless Blackhawk for the first time with my first attempt at realoading in almost two of years. I loaded up some 158 gr. hunter's supply harcast SWC's into winchester cases using winchester small pistol primers and 6.2 grains...

    New GP100?'s

    I have a local gun store that ordered a NIB stainless GP100 with a 6 in bbl. It's sitting in the glass case with a set of hogue rubber grips. I asked if the original grips came with it. It seems that those are the grips it came with from the distributor. Is that what Ruger is doing these days or...

    I have something wrong with my barrel on my 870.

    I bought a 20 inch barrel for my 870 express about a year ago from cabellas. I've been noticing a spot on the left rear corner of the rear sight base turning white. It looks as if something is corroding under the sight base like on a car battery. I called remington about it as they pretty much...

    Should I get this 586.

    I went shopping around the pawn shops yesterday and found this pristene 6 inch 586. They were asking 399.00+tax for it. I checked it out and the bluing is pretty much flawless and the lock up is a tight as a bank vault. I don't recall the "dash" number but is a pre-lock smith. I'm off friday and...

    Had my dealer set aside a Charger for me today. What scope to get?

    I went to my local gun store today to window shop . They had a Ruger Charger sitting in the case for 299.00+tax. I looked at it and handed it back and left. I went home to read up on it and decided what the hell. It seemed like alot of gun for the money. I went back and asked what's the best...

    Is 489.00+tax a good price for this?

    I am on the edge of buying a 6.5 inch stainless Ruger blackhawk with rosewood grips to get back into reloading. 489.00+tax is the best my local gun shop can do for one NIB. Is this a reasonable price to pay? Thanks, Flip.

    Range Report! 6-1/2 inch Ruger Single Six with pics and velocities

    Well just last week I picked up a stainless Single Six with black grips and a 6-1/2 inch barrel. It also came with the .22 WMR cylinder. I got it out today to try it out. This thing is great! It's built like a Tank. It doesn't feel like a .22, it feels like a hand cannon the way it is built...

    Had some slug fun yesterday.

    I went out last week and couldn't get any decent groups with Breneke KO's so I decided to try out some Remington standard velocity Slugger's out of my 870 12 ga. I have another shotgun class comming up at the end of this month at www.tacproshootingcenter.com. I needed to work out some problems...

    Woo Hoo! I'm taking another shotgun class!

    I just got off the phone today with Tac Pro Shooting Center and they've scheduled a basic shotgun class at the end of February. I went ahead and paid in full and tallied my round count to see if I have enough ammo set aside for the class. I was 50 rounds short on buck shot so I just orderd more...

    I'm getting another AK!

    I sold my SAR-1 about a year ago and have regretted it ever since. Although I have a very nice Stag AR, I've always have had a love for AK's. I ran across a brand new Arsenal SLR-106FR in 5.56 for 593.00 delivered to my FFL. OTD, I will have paid a grand total of 603.00 for this rifle. I just...

    I learned a thing or two this weekend especially with my equipment.

    I took Louis Awerbuck's Stage-1 shotgun course. I showed up with this uber decked out 870 and was using a sig-tac vest for holding my shells. My shotgun was equiped with a three round extension along with an elaborate dual picatinnied clamp. After the first day, I went back to the hotel room and...

    Well, the Hornady TAP red hulls didn't do it for me today. Pics inside.

    I got in a box of Hornady TAP red hulls in to try out and went out to the range today. I guess my barrel didn't like them and, It seems the Federal Vital Shock's with the flight control wad won out. Here are the pics. 10, 15 and 20 yards two at 25 yards. Here are the pics of the...

    Well, here it is. My 100.00 Wingmaster.

    We sealed the deal tonight after I got off of work. He left work early. It must be nice being a Doctor. I met up with him outside of a Sushi bar where he was having dinner with his family. Over all the gun was in good condition. It has some surface rust here and there on the outside but no big...
