    Dog gone it, Taurus

    https://www.taurususa.com/revolvers/raging-hunter/raging-hunter-460-s-w-magnum-two-tone-8-37-in Taurus, you are gonna cost me a bundle. Of course I'll need a matching 357 Raging Hunter. These will be great siblings for my 44 Mag and 454 Raging Bulls.

    Now No Powder

    Thought I had a pound of 4895, but it was something else, so I find myself with no suitable powder for 308/ 30-06 loads, 150gr. FMJ, 2650 - 2700 fps. I went to a big sporting goods store that usually has everything, just picked up a can of H-110 there a few weeks ago, they were sold out of...

    Another Odd Shortage

    While looking for 30-06 reloading dies I discovered that most brands are sold out and new and used dies on eBay are about double the price. One Lee factory crimp die I was watching sold for $60, plus $10 for shipping, that's a 400% increase. I imagine the situation is the same with other popular...

    Semi Auto AR and AK Based Shotguns

    I'm noticing that 12 gauge semi autos based on AK or AR receivers are becoming pretty popular. I also noticed some at the local GS, with AR firing crontrols but otherwise a proprietary upper and lower receiver. I don't remember the manufacturer, strange to me. They were $650 - $750. All these...

    375 In An AR15 Platform

    What is your favorite .375 cartridge that works in an AR15 size receiver and why? I am aware of the 375 SOCOM, 375 Raptor and 375 Stalker. I'm not interested in sub sonic loads, so maximum performance would be my goal. I already have and load for 458 SOCOM.

    Here Come The Scalpers

    I got an email ad from Cheaper Than Dirt yesterday touting that, "9mm Back in stock!" I clicked on the link. They had Armscore 115 FMJ and S&B, which were $9.99 a box before the shortage started, for $54.95 per box of 50. Carumba!

    22 LR Ammunition: Duds or Light Primer Strikes

    I watch a lot of gun review videos. Seems when the subject is recently produced 22 semiauto pistols, there are a number of failures to fire. Often the tester, trying to portray the product in the best light, calls the FTF a "dud" or "bad ammo". One day at the range a guy next to me was trying...

    Effect Of Muzzle Devices On Accuracy

    Have any of you done a side by side comparison of accuracy with and without a brake, comp, flash hider attached. Does attachment of a muzzle device always effect the group, always negatively, not at all, better? My AR 308 shoots great and I have a brake that matches the handguard profile, but...

    Other Shortages

    We were at Walmart, Sportsmans Warehouse, and Farm and Fleet today. Besides only some single action revolvers and bolt action rifles, most guns were gone. All handgun ammo was gone except 500 S&W. But I also noticed all handgun bullets were gone from the reloading department, except for heavy...

    Armscor 357 Magnum 158 FMJ

    A couple days ago I was playing with a Ruger Blackhawk and Colt SAA both 357 Magnum. I had a box of Armscor 158 gr. FMJ. These have a weird looking bullet that is like a roundnose, but has a cylindrical projection coming out of the middle of the nose. I had just switched to new paper target and...

    Questions About 45 ACP Headstamps

    One of my quarantined activities is reloading a bunch of 30 year old 45 brass. I've seen some interesting headstamps I've wondered about. So here goes. Had about 50 Midway brass. We're those made by Starline for Midway? Is anything marked WC or WCC with a two digit year, Winchester? Have a...

    New Henry 22 Is A Joy

    Years ago I was scoring a steel buffalo shoot, big black powder cartridges, Sharps rifles, Remington rolling blocks, and a few Winchester high walls. They had a .22 side match with little buffs, probably no farther than 100 - 200 yards, and I borrowed a guy's then new Henry Golden Boy 22...

    Found Brass

    I want to thank all the guys at my range who leave their brass for me to pick up. I got 36 38 Supers the other day and 50 10mm and 20 Winchester 30-06, with the boxes. I have found whole boxes of 50 A&E and 480 Ruger in the past too. Early on Monday mornings is a gold mine if you reload. This...

    Can someone recommend a good 243 bullet for target shooting? My barrel has a 1 in 8 twist, 22 inches long.

    Anyone Use Metalform 1911 Magazines

    They are a little more economical and have good reviews on Brownnells website. Have you used them?

    Smokeless Powder Shelf Life

    I have an unopened 5 lb. plastic jug of AA#5, that is probably 25 years old. It was always in the basement at a very consistent temperature. How long will nitro powder last? What happens to it? I loaded 5 rounds of 357 with it and am going to see how it shoots. If it cycles my Coonan it still...

    AR Disease Strikes Again Part II

    Sorry Stag, need to borrow your title. My son was thinking of buying a 350 Legend for deer season, but I told him to hold off. I had a budget 450 Bushmaster barrel and an Anderson upper with a big ejection port for the 45's. Scrounging through my parts I found a Double Star full float handguard...

    Honor Defense Slides Made By Coonan

    I was reading a review of the Honor Guard, a 9mm compact pistol made by Honor Defense, in the Nov./Dec. issue of American Handgunner. The article stated that the slides are made by Coonan. The same Coonan who's website has been closed for over a year, stating the company is reorganizing? I...
