    Information on top tier 22 LR ammunition brands

    I have recently gotten into shooting a 22 bench match and have just been shooting what I have on hand, mostly Eley Sport.

    Hawke scope opinions

    My LGS sells Hawke scopes and I am considering a Vantage 4-12x40 AO for my CZ 455. My use would be 50 yd. bench match and possibly 22 silhouette match (50-200 yds). All opinions appreciated.

    Cap sizes and nipple/cone brands

    Although I started Black Powder shooting with a gifted T/C Renegade cap lock, the predominance of my BP shooting has been with flintlocks. Over the years, I have acquired, through gifts and exceptional deals, several percussion arms. My knowledge of such is very lacking. They take multiple...

    Another great job by Jackrabbit

    I recently sent off my older Pietta 1860 Army to Jackrabbit1957for his tune-up work. This was my first BP revolver. I bought the gun used and the only thing I knew about it for sure was that the wedge didn't fit properly. It turns out that it had a lot more issues, including a very short arbor...

    CZ 455 tall scope rings

    Anyone know of rings for a CZ 455 (11 mm dovetail) that would get the scope tube at least 1 inch above the barrel. With the stock on this rifle I can't get a decent view through the scope with stock CZ rings (0.625 from dovetail to bottom of scope tube). If I keep trying I'm going to damage my...

    Taurus 441 44 special and Skeeter loads

    I have a Taurus 441 44 Special and like the gun a lot. I would like to consider shooting Skeeter Skelton loads (240 grain L-SWC over 7.5 grains of Unique) in it, but don't want to beat up a nice revolver. Is the 441 strong enough for frequent use of this load?
