My Cousin bought a beautiful Austrian bolt action 6 mm Rem rifle when he was stationed in Germany in the early 1970s (after a deployment in VN). Expensive rifle with 6 locking lugs, glass smooth action. When 6 mm Rem. Became hard to find he asked me to handload some for him. A light load 87 gr...

Please help me understand the "No Fly LIst". Is this the list where any of a dozen or more federal agencies can add a name with no reason, no appeal, no removal? Is the list where Edward Kennedy (sen-mass) was denied flights on several ocassions because he shared a name with an IRA member? If...

I am handloading for .22-250 and tried a load of Varget (1 gr under max) with a 55gr V-Max. The load is VERY accurate. I want to tweak the load to find that sweet spot of powder charge.

These are challenging times for reloaders. I have gotten some ball powders (H-335,H380, BLC-2) to replace my usual powders (IMR stick powders). I know ball powders are harder to ignite, but do they really require magnum primers to give best accuracy? - I have reg LR primers, and ball powders...

I want to buy a 12ga pump for waterfowl and want advice on which model you favor. I dont care if the gun is polymer, wood or synthetic stocked. Is camo worth the extra $90 most charge? I am very familiar with the 870, but the newer guns are intriguing. Help!

I'm going to buy a 12ga pump shotgun to hunt: geese, ducks, turkey, and coyotes (at night). I plan on using steel shot for the waterfowl and lead/hevi-shot for the rest. Would I benefit from a 3.5" gun or will a 3" chamber serve my needs? The back when I was really into waterfowl hunting lead...

My Mod 28 started shaving lead after about 12K rounds (3k were .357 max loads). At 15k it is really bad. What is involved with getting her back "into specs." and how much might it cost? Any recommendations about a good 'smith for S&Ws? Thanks !
