I'm looking at getting a Rossi 92 Carbine in 45 Colt. While looking at the load data, and some online postings, I had some questions that I'm hoping someone could help me with. 1) While it lists the bullet as 0.454", would bullets for 45ACP work, aka 0.451" jacketed hollow point of 185-230gr...

I have an earlier model of the Springfield Armory Champion. I was going to shoot it today. While loading a magazine into the gun, I thought I saw a hair on the slide. Wiped it off, and still there... Slide is cracked, on both sides, almost up to the top of the slide, about 1 inch from the...

So I got a heck of a deal on a Rossi R243 single shot, heavy barrel for my g/f to use for target shooting. Got some Sierra 100gr. SPBT GameKings. (decent BC for the weight). Placed bullet, just starting in the neck of an empty(read previously fired, spent primer, no powder) casing to get a...

I was wondering if anyone was reloading/shooting the Accubond Long Range. I'm looking at this bullet for upcoming elk hunt(if I get drawn in lottery). What kind of seating depth, or distance from the lands, has been working for these bullets?? Nosler claims " SAAMI Maximum length is giving...

Finally got some good reloads from the 7mm-08 Improved. And finally got the chrony to work... :D Hogdon H414 gets the nod with 139gr. Hornady Interlocks cruising at 3080 FPS. :cool: Reloder 17 didn't do bad either, clocking in at 3044fps. Today was the powder, ladder test, to see what...

Ok, most everything on the web, and in the books is on overpressure. But what do you look for with underpressure?? (aka the short load) Give us your thoughts please....

Went to Clearfield to Grices yesterday. Took 2 friends. One was looking for a pistol that he did buy. The other didn't realize that he was looking for a 22 bolt rifle, but appearantly he was. lol They were trying to talk me into buying several different pistols. But I withheld, I was looking...

Ok, so I did the rechambering of my Stevens 200 in 7mm-08 to 7mm-08 Improved 40 degree. Chamber is done, so no need for discussions on that issue, please. I fired a box of PPU ammo through it today, and the casings turned out beautiful! Was looking at some of the load data for the 7mm-08...

I had heard of these 2 new powders from Alliant, and had to do some digging. According to a spokesman from ATK (parent company of Alliant) RL23, RL26 were ready last year. They are made overseas, and issues were had for the shipping permits. Should be showing up in stores soon. These are...

Hello all, Am looking forward to building my first rifle, and am also looking forward to enhancing my long distant shooting abilities. Looking at F-Class. Was originally thinking of building a 280AI Today I heard about the 284 Shehane. I really wanted to stick to the 280/7mm bullets. Are...

Ok, in the process of "Improving" my 7mm-08. I have new Nosler brass, that I"m planning on hand loading for fire forming. Question.... Should I wait till I have the chamber finish reamed, and set the bullets off of the lands like I would normally do? Or do I go ahead, and load to "factory"...

Looking for input from our long range group. (you know who you are!) Planning on building a designated target/range rifle. Will probably be built on a Savage/Stevens action. Anyways, what works well for long range, hopefully without too much recoil, and a new barrel after 800 rounds. I...

My neighbor asked me to do some loads for him for his Remington 7600 pump in 30-06. I have no issue doing this. My issue is that he only shoots 3-4 bullets a year out of it to make sure it's sighted in. He claims factory Rem Core Locts shoot about 3" at 100 yards. I know I can get better...

Have been looking for a double duty gun, and have run across the EAA Witness in 9mm. Like the ergonomics for myself, and the g/f. 1) Primary duty would be target, and hopefully some shooting events. 2) Would be open carry pistol while in the woods for the g/f. Has anyone run into any issue...

I work at a tire shop, and in the showroom we had one of those touch screen kiosks. Well the company that supported the kiosk went out of business. I asked boss if I could have it. So I now have a good business class Dell computer,with wireless setup, and a large-ish flat, touchscreen monitor...

Well, looking at the pics from the game cameras this past couple of months got me to thinking of the predators that are around my hunting grounds. I have 3 pictures of black bears, various coyote, and a bobcat. Unlike my friends that have permission on some farms around the area, I'm hunting in...

I took my Springfield Armory Champion apart, and cleaned with my old stand by of Hoppes #9. After cleaning I found out that I was out of gun oil. As a substitute I used a little WD40 sprayed into a rag, and wiped. The amount of gak I got off of the gun was appalling!! Rag was black...

I've been looking for an inexpensive rifle to take apart, and use the action as the basis of a build. I have run across 2 different Remington 710 rifles. One was $179, the other $149.:eek: I passed on both due to finances at the current time, but am keeping this model in mind for later...

I bought a Wildgame Innovations IR4 game camera in July. Had it set up in what I thought was gonna be a great spot. Went to get camera tonight after work. Lots of sign, and 5 rubs within 30ft. of game camera. Red light signaling that it senses something didn't come on. Thought batteries...
