Yesterday I went to our local gun show with no intention of purchasing anything than possibly powder or primers if I found a deal. Two hours later I walked out with a S&W AR 15 Rifle. The rifle was run through the S&W performance center and after handling it and finding out what was done to it...

Roughly a month ago I heard about this ammunition and its performance. I did quite a bit of reading including reviews and decided to purchase a couple of boxes for my .357 Sig. Well let me tell you, this ammo lives up to its reputation. the Sig ammo is 125 Grain bonded Gold Dot. The case is...

Now that I've started reloading my .357 Sig I have found that the major issue is bullet slippage. There just isn't much of a neck to hold a bullet in place. I used the standard .357 Sig Hornady case crimper that came with my reloading dies and it works, but not too well, especially with the 124...

Finally got a chance to go to the range this morning and have a report on my model 94 and what I ended up with in regards to loads and the results. I tried the .32 special factory loads with 170 grain Remington corelokts and ended up with a 2 1/4 inch group at 100 yards using the Lyman Peep...

I've got one for thought. My buddy brought me over a 100 quart bucket loaded with brass that he had purchased for $30.00. All the brass was picked up over a period of time from a local range. The brass was mixed with different calibers, a lot being .243. This was his reason for purchase as his...

I heard on the news yesterday that Obummer wrote an executive order banning the sale of .223 ammo. Don't know how true this is but apparently the NRA has caught wind of it. Anybody else hear this great bit of news? Supposedly he's banned it because of it's armor piercing capabilities. The BATF...

I sort of gave up looking for this particular rifle. Saw them listed occasionally on gunbroker for ridiculous prices and could never find one at the many gunshows I've attended. This past weekend I attended our local (once every 4-6 month) gunshow and went by a table with a sign "private sales"...

I know this has been discussed before but I could use some other members thoughts on this again as I have just started using this method. First question, How much water do you put in the Thumblers tumbler?. Second, upon finishing the tumble cycle how do you separate the steel media from the...

Would like some feedback from members on my just completed first season Elk hunt in Colorado. I was in possession of an either sex tag in the Northwest corner of Colorado. The ranch we hunted has Black angus cows, sheep, goats and two sheepdogs. Last year on this property we had major problems...

Not sure whether this has been asked previously but I have a friend who is now the owner of a Kimber in the above caliber. Need some load info for 150 grain partitions. Scotty, Doc, any thoughts?

Found out something very interesting that many members may already be aware of. I spent some time at the range last week with my P938 9MM and had previously loaded up some "target" loads with ball 124 grain bullets. When I started shooting I began to run into problems with feeding including...

Well guys, After a lot of inactivity with my wallet I went to my local gunshop this past Saturday to "look" at a target style .45 auto that I could use for our local bowling pin matches that are coming up. I am also retiring for the third and last time in my life and thought I would get myself a...

Stopped at my local gunshop and saw a 99 savage in .300 savage sitting on the shelf. The rifle is in very good condition and the wheels started turning. Never had one, always wanted one and need some expert advice. First, was a 99 ever drilled and tapped for scope mounts? This particular rifle...

I guess our Boy Manchin and Harry Reid aren't done with us yet. It seems Manchin is going to introduce his bill again with some changes to make it more "palatable" for everyone to accept. The news media has been harping (as much as it can) that the various senators that voted the last gun...

Has anybody had any experience with this powder. It looks like a ball style powder and I've got an opportunity to pick up two lbs. Based on the container it appears to be used for larger calibers.

Learned this morning that Iran, Syria, and North Korea are refusing to go along with the UN treaty and if I'm not mistaken it takes one hundred percent of the members to allow this to pass. This may be the best thing that ever happened unless our illustrious leader tries to figure out a way to...

I don't know whether anyone picked up on Holder's written answer to Sen. Rand Pauls's question in regards to Drones taking out American citizens on Government authority. Holder's letter stated that in no way would the government use drones against non combatant american citizens. The key word is...

I don't know if anyone has had the chance to look at the news today but there is a picture of the clown in the white house shooting a shotgun, supposedly at Clay pigeons. The picture does not show the skeet field or where the location was. The comment with the picture is Obama is shooting skeet...

Well guys, I'm learning again about NOT taking a credit card with me when I go to a sporting goods store or a Gun show. I thought I was all over this bad habit of picking up a firearm be it a rifle, shotgun, or handgun but NO, I'm not. This weekend there's a gun show in Melbourne, Florida and I...

The treaty is supposed to be signed on the 27th of this month. Obama says it definitely will be signed. This is his coming in under the radar. Both the senate and the house have said they will not ratify it, but the funny thing is the senate and house vote do not take place until after the...
