    After reloading for 27 years this has never happened to me before. I am loading on a Hornady AP LnL. The hopper on the powder measure fell off. I looked it over real well and the best I could tell it was just a press fit. I pressed it back on as best as I could. I even put a block of wood...

    Shot my first Silhouette Match today

    I went to my first Smallbore Silhouette Match today. It was a blast. I didn't do so good, 12/40 and 9/40, but on the second time I noticed that my scope was loose, but I had a great time. The people were very nice and friendly (men and women). The main problem was that the wind was blowing...

    Had a "slamfire" or maybe a "double" today

    Today at the range I had a "slamfire" or maybe more correctly a "double". I was firing on the 50 meter line and was about halfway through a 20 round magazine when "blam-blam" with one trigger pull. It startled the dickens out of me to say the least (I checked my drawers to be sure:what:)...

    I did a search and found no answer to my question. I just got a used Bushmaster AR 15 and the trigger pull seems a little heavy. I don't have a gage but guessing I wsould think it is in the 6-7 lb range. Is this normal? I was hoping for around 4 lbs. Thoughts?

    Ruger Mini 14 accuracy?

    I just put a scope on my Ruger Mini 14 this week (Bushnell). I went to the range today to sight it in. I was shooting just 50 yards but the best grouping I could get was about 3". I was shooting off sandbags and on a measured course. I know I can do better because I get 3/4" @100 yards...

    Gun cleaning rod question?

    Today I was listening to "Gun Talk with Tom Gresham" on the radio. He was telling a caller to never use a segmented cleaning rod (like Hoppe's or Outer's 3 piece rods). He said to only use a one piece rod. I have been using the 3 piece rods all of my life and never noticed any problems. What...
