I've lost a rifle in the house, don't remember where I hid it. Wife is firm against me buying a 4th safe unless it is attached to a new house. Seriously pondering this dilemma. Pro is I would have a larger arms room, which I could literally make it into a vault. Cons, I'm at an age where I...

Title says it all. Not familiar with RCBS presses as I own the Forster Press. What are the differences?

Was at the range the other day and saw a member had nice grips on his 686. Figured it would be nice to give my 38 y/o 686 a new look too. Had a hard time finding grips in stock so found some online. Got them last night and put them on. These are a lot slimmer than the factory grips that are...

Was just wondering if any one that shoots a 10mm handgun have the same issue I have with mine. The gun is a 6" long slide Springfield 10mm TRP which I recently purchased and love shooting this. The problem is that it ejects the spent brass way way out at least 2 to 3 lanes over from where I...

After 10 days of suffering with the flu I decided to figure out how to post pictures off of my phone and finally did it. This are pics of my new toy and a six shot group I did at 200 yds. The two shot in the bullseye were there not mine. I shot four shots first before adjusting for winds at 12...

I have been shooting for more than 50 years and am quite embarrassed but just recently I heard the following phrase at the range a couple of times "You need to slug the barrel". What is meant by that phrase?

I just purchased a Pedersoli 1874 sharps rifle in 45/70 a couple of weeks ago. I was wondering if anyone on this forum owns one and what they would recommend to clean the stock with. Thanks for your time and replies.

I have a left hander savage 110C in 30-06, that has a staggered feed drop magazine with the magazine release on the side. The action screw length is 5.062" and it is an old style action with the pre-accu trigger. I am trying to find a stock for this particular rifle and no one online has one...

Its the time of year where I rotate my ammo inventory like stores do their inventory...FIFO (first in and first out). In doing so I found several boxes of 30-30 winchester for $6.99. Was just wondering what the going price is for 30-30 and 35 rem which mine were marked for $9.99. I...

As a one day old reloader I was wondering if there are any uses for the little trays the primers come in or do you just throw them away?

Reloading for first time on a Universal RCBS handprimer and messed up about 6 primers that went in sideways. Is it safe to decap the primers using the full sizing die? Or, should I take my losses and discard the brass, after all it is range brass and I have swaged the primer hole on all the...

Was wondering what kind of saw you use when camping. I always have a little hatchet but figured a good folding saw could be just as useful.

My wife and I are in the process of purchasing an RV and will travel through all states and Canada. I was wondering since some states are not gun friendly what some of you that RV carry for self defense. Regardless of the state laws I figured that I would carry at least a shotgun or lever...

I used to drool over their six shooter and finally saved enough money to buy one of thier nickle plated revolvers. Problem is I cannot find the website anymore. What does pop up is a website for a zip gun. Would sure appreciate any information.

Was just wondering if you can use this small rifle primers from CCI, even though it states Magnum on box, for an AR rifle or are this primers better off used on a bolt action? I've did a search function and read about 20 pages before giving up. Can I use the bench rest on the AR? This was...

I was at an Academy store in Corpus Christi Texas and was surpised to see they sold some reloading stuff. Primers, bullets, shell holders, and such. Not a very extensive selection but had what I wanted at the time the Hornady 55gr bullets for my ar and some dry lube. They will eventually...

Ran into a guy who had reloaded some 9mm rds for a beretta with some old unique powder he had purchased at an estate sale. At that time unique was under hercules company. Anyway, following specs he loaded at 4.7 gr with max load being 5.3 according to him. Neither load would cycle his gun...

I have not been able to find any definitive answers and have waited a few days for a respond from Nikon via Email. Here is the question, is the M223 Nikon scope with BDC reticle only calibrated for the 55gr at 3000+ fps? Reason I ask is because I have a Monarch with BDC reticle mounted on a...

If you are new to reloading like I am, I started buying reloading supplies and equipment a little bit at a time as I saved money. I did not want the kits that are offered as I wanted the Forster coax . My main re-loading round is the 223 caliber for my A.R. 15. Since this rounds have a crimp on...

I purchased the hornady magnum sonic cleaner and am very happy with it. I have used the commercial cleaner from hornady and the homemade with vinegar,water,dish soap, and salt. The hornady won by just a hair. The brass is clean but not shiny but is easy to shine with000 steel wool. I did...
