I finished this book a few days ago. Written by Terry Wieland. I really enjoyed it. There is a whole history of the evolution from muzzle loaders through modern day. With a copyright date of 2006, the information was reasonably current. The book breaks down the mechanisms of singles, doubles and...

I happened to see an add for Grizzly custom guns in a magazine and just checked out their site. They do some really cool modifications to Marlin lever guns, among others. I am a fan of short, fat rifles, but this seems a bit much, or not quite enough as it may be. Although kind of cool and...

Just passing this along. Nikon is giving a $50 mail in rebate on their rimfire scopes. They have several to choose from. I just bought a 3X9-40 BDC ( for 22lr) for just under $140 shipped. Most places are selling this scope for $149. Either way, $50 off makes it an outstanding deal. I ordered...

As some of you may recall, I recently built a loading bench and got it pretty well set up. I haven't been able to set it up for almost 2 years now. I bought a lb. of H4381 and some CCI primers a couple weeks ago and would have gotten to work sooner, but my old, balance scale was looking pretty...

Happened to check out a small, local gun shop last week. I was surprised to see a few suppressors for sale and the guys working there were all about a "silenced" squirrel rifle. It would be really cool, but does it really make much of a difference? Not that I'm a big squirrel hunter, but the...

I have prepped forty .270win cases. All are at least once fired in the rifle I will be loading for. I have 20 w-w, 10 Fed and 10 Rem. I'm sure I can use the 20 ww, but I have yet to weigh any of them. So, I guess my question is... would it be a bad idea to mix brands of cases even if they...

Some good deals to be had. I'm picking up a box of 160grn, .277 PTs for $26.79. May have to grab some of the 250grn .338 PTs for the future. A lot of decent prices, not just bullets.

Anyone have experience with this company or thier products? I've always wanted to carve, checker and finish my own stock, but have concerns as to inletting the action. This seems like a great option. http://www.rifle-stocks.com/

I'm really liking this ugly gun... http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/11HOGHUNTER I'm thinking seriously of buying one in .338wm. I would probably use 250grn bullets. What kind of velocities, or lack there of, might I expect from the 20" barrel?

Is there a safe way to do it?

I spent the afternoon working on the new reloading bench. I put up a couple shelves, went through my equipment and supplies and installed my presses. I also cleaned and lubed my dies and presses. I found out that the majority of my case prep tools are in bad shape and will need to be replaced...

Hey guys, I have been working with my friend, Richard Norwood, to help promote his business, CHASING GIANTS and I think some of you may like to hear about it. We are a concierge service/ booking agent for fishing and hunting trips around the world. We only deal with outfitters and...

I finally made the nearly 2 hour drive to the nearest, ( as far as I can determine) 100 yard range. I had no idea what to expect and even though I don't own a shooting bench or even a folding table at the moment, I prepared as best I could. Or so I thought. I wound up forgetting my front rest...

So, I just moved and am ready to build a new loading bench. The last one I built was a corner unit and worked remarkably well. I built it at desk height ( 30") and used an old, office chair. It was a great space saver as well as easy to work with. I could easily swivel between powder dispencer/...

I am new to South Carolina and the methods of take and well... everything here. I have been fortunate enough to have befriended a tough as nails, retired airforce man. He has really taken me under his wing in learning the ins and outs of hunting in this area. So, it is currently Small Game...

Alright guys, as some of you may recall, I was all about getting a BLR in .358win, but now I'm not sure. The idea is to wind up with a moderate thumper in a small, maneuverable package. Now I'm thinking, if I'm going to go for more thump, why not go beyond the .358win and get something that is...

I'm just getting ideas for this summer when I'll be able to start loading again and work up some 140AB's for my .270 win. Prior to moving to the east coast in October, I traded my remaing powders and primers ( 5 canisters that probably totaled about 2 lb) to a guy for a six pack of good beer...

Got to sight in a fresh scope using new ammo. :shock: Fortunately I have some randome reloads I can use to get me on paper. Have any of you tried this? Would it be reasonable, considering my longest shot on an upcoming hog hunt will be under 150 and probably much less? Thanks, Tony

I'm in a spot here guys. Before I moved to the east coast, I sold all of my powders and primers. I am not yet in a place where I can even set up my reloading bench. The scope on my .270 has some issues that I wrote about in a previous thread. While that is being dealt with, I'm considering...

So, as some of you may know, I'm on the market for a Browning BLR in .358win. In order to stay on good terms with my wife, I must sell at least one other rifle. As much as I love this gun, I'm considering selling my TC encore in .243. I would try to include the .375 H&H barrel that I have as a...
