    Don't like it but do I keep it

    I have always made an informal pact with myself that if I buy a gun, I'm stuck with it. That being said, I picked up a " used" Savage Model 14 in 204 Ruger a few years back from Cabelas. It was out of state, so it had to be shipped in to my FFL. It was listed as factory re-conditioned. When I...

    Nosler Bullet Inventory

    I'll second that Speer isn't very good along with Nosler. I emailed Speer's customer service back this fall looking for 44 caliber 270 grain deep curl for my 444. The response was they are making and shipping millions of bullets a day and just to keep looking , they are out there. Well, I'm...

    Those Were The Days

    I found this coupon in a box of bullets when I first started reloading. I couldn't bring myself to spend it. Maybe they should start putting them in boxes again to help offset the increased cost of their products.

    I picked up a used Model 7- 260 a couple years ago. When all this stuff came out about their factory triggers being faulty I checked out their site to see if it affected either of my 2 guns.
