I am taking my son on an elk hunt in northern Utah this fall and wonder what factory ammo to use. We have the following boxes of 30-06 ammo in stock to choose from and shooting Remington 7400 semi-auto / Remington 700 bolt action rifles: * Federal Hi-Energy 180-gr. (Nosler) Partitions @ 2,880...

Wanted to get some expert opinions on the 15-oz S&W 637 Airweight Chief's Special that's rated for 38 Special +P. This J-frame revolver would mainly be for my wife's use. We plan on using 148-gr. Wadcutters or 130-gr. FMJ for practice and Speer (SB) 135-gr. Gold Dots in it for protection.

Recently purchased a new Ruger KP-345PR 45 auto with StreamLight M-6 Tactical Laser combo and would like to keep this setup handy in the house in case things go bump in the night. Question: Who makes an inexpensive nightstand type holster or cover large enough to hold a 45 Auto with Tactical...

Just bought a EAA Witness Compact 45 auto (Tanfoglio) with 3.77" barrel and was shocked to find the Instruction Manual recommending against +P ammo in all their polymer framed pistols. Questions: * Is this a legal tactic? * EAA is saying this to prevent possible warranty claims? * Poly frame...

Just purchased a NIB M60 Lady Smith and needed a little advice from gunsmith experts like you as to what's the best Wolfe Spring Kit to get for this J-framed revolver? Example: Reduced Power 8 lb to replace stock 8 1/2 pounder and what about the main spring...

Not sure as to what self defense ammo is best for a 3 1/4" barreled 45 ACP revolver. I've been considering 230-gr. +P rounds like those from Ranger T @ 990 fps (4" barrel) or Double Taps 230-gr. +P @ 1,010 fps (4" barrel). Question: Do you feel that +P 45 ammo needs longer barrels to burn...

Just ordered a new Ruger KP-345PR for $419 from Davidsons (thru Guns West in Utah) and need some advice for accessories, such as a light or laser setup that fits this model. Thank-you in advance of your assistance! Steve

I do a lot of range work with many calibers and would like to ask you experts what 9mm Glock is the best for continuous target practice? Recoil is of no concern, but having a good trigger is. How does the 17L compare to the 34 and which is best?

Just wanted to ask you experts as to what brand or style of bench rest device you recommend under $150? Do a lot of 100 and 200 meter target shooting with .308 caliber bullets. Thank-you in advance of your advice! Steve

Whenever a bullet strikes your intended target - like deer - if carefully observed, (9 times out of 10) its reaction will tell you if you hit your mark or not. Heart or Lung Shot Upon being hit in the heart or lung area, most deer will usually jump or bound forward - kicking out with their...

Nosler: Could you please point me in the right direction for reloading 180-gr. AccuBonds in a 30-06? Need info for bolt action and semi-auto. Thanks! Steve

I believe the AccuBond is the best all-around bullet you can choose from. For starters, the AccuBond is a Ballistic Efficient round with an aerodynamic BC of .509 - enabling more downrange energy on target. Example: When comparing a bullet's energy in a 30-06 versus a 300 Win Mag, if you...

Just out of curiosity: Who has first-hand experience with harvesting elk or moose with Nosler's Ballistic Tip - and - how did the bullet perform? Steve P.S. My preference in 30-06 is 180-gr. High Energy Partitions at 2,890 fps or 180-gr. AccuBonds at 2,750 fps.

Would it be fair to say that the front portion of a Nosler Partition is very similar in construction to the Solid Base design and that INITIAL expansion is about the same for both bullets? Thanks in advance of your expertise! Steve

Looking for advice of what to do or not do to a Remington 7400 semi-auto 30-06 before hunting in very cold weather. Any advice is much appreciated. Steve

What do you folks think of the newer Winchester Model 70's? I am considering a 30-06 rifle for my son. It's Super Shadow composite model with a 24" barrel and Controlled Round Push Feed (CRPF) Mauser style action, with sling, and Simmons 8 Point 3-9X40 Scope at Walmart for only $398. (Note...

If you're hunting elk or moose near the end of a rifle's limit, you can turn the same gun into a 30-06 Magnum by doing three simple things: 1. Using Premium Bullets with much higher BC's can easily turn a 30-06 into a 300 Win Mag with standard / less Ballistically Efficient ammo. Example...
