not wanting to side track the Savage Hog Hunter 223 thread... I'm curious what you guys think of when you think "hog rifle"... I've not hog hunted, but I would not think 223 would be the optimum caliber for large hogs ( not that it couldn't work with just that "right" bullet or load ) I find...

I always thought it was the same as the red plug ammo, only with nucular green rubber... I'm looking for some reasonably priced bulk HP ammo... I went to Hornady's website & read this, that they had to say about this particular ammo... so are they not fully charged, defective bullets they...

along with the other gun related stuff we inherited from my FIL, 15-20 years ago, was a bunch of shotgun barrels that were up in the rafters of the basement... the only Remington shotgun I retained was a Remington 1100... I have a buddy that's looking for an 870 barrel for his grandson, so I...

so almost 20 years ago my FIL died... I know he was happy that his little girl married someone like me... after we were married, I think he begain to groom me to manage his fire arm collection ( he was pretty much responsible for getting me deeply involved in shooting & collecting ) when we...

I'm looking at some Speer Gold Dot ammo ( 115 grain ) bulk ( 1000 rounds ) & the +P+ is $60.00 cheaper than the standard pressure... seems kinda backwards... only thing I can think of, is the distributor bought the standard pressure back closer to the shortage & paid more??? anything I'm...

there is always talk of how to tell if powder is bad, how long will it last, etc... I have powder that we inherited from my FIL that is pretty old, but always been stored cool & dry... never seen any signs of deteriourating... ... Lately I've been going through my brass & ammo trying to...

I have a custom 22 Hornet, Ruger 77 22 Hornet converted to K Hornet with a 1 in 9" twist barrel... love the gun & it's versatility... I don't like how hard ammo or in reality brass can be to locate sometimes, & how fragile 22 Hornet brass is... I keep getting drawn to the 22 TCM handguns though...

so I live a low risk life, work in a small town, live on the farm... I normally carry a compact revolver ( just bought an LCR-X in 38 Special +P ) that I was going to try to work into the carry rotation... my current daily carry is a TCP, & I love it... but with the political ( ISIS or ??? )...

sorry I've had so many questions lately... in one of my other posts I talked about practicing 1st & foremost... but if I were trying to shoot 5 or 10 shot groups, at say 50 or 100 meters, & I've tried different charges & worked my way to the most consistent load, using round balls... what kind...

so I took 2nd at MRS cousin's muzzleloader shoot... ( 2nd place has to buy the beer for the next year ) so I guess I'll be going again next year... needing to practice more 1st thing, but on the 100 meter target, the front post ( ramp ) covered the 8" black square completely so it made it...

looking for suggestions here... we have chickens on the farm for personal use & sell a few eggs... bird flu has become an epidemic here in the Midwest... we purposely went "natural" for our hens, with a big outside run, with several trees over the top of the run... the last couple years, we've...

curious if ( for example ) all other things being equal, if a 50 caliber muzzle loader & a 50-70 government's energy & velocities would be similar??? does 70 grains of FFG in a muzzleloader equal the same performance as 70 grains in a cartridge case??? 40 grains in a cap & ball revolver equal...

they are not my favorite brand of ammo or reloading components... but at a time when everyone seems to be starting to get caught up... there are a couple calibers that that I keep their brass & or would buy loaded rounds to keep the brass... but they seem to be scarce at the various sellers...

we're not even talking about Federal Gold Metal Match... which of course I can't find... I have a custom rifle built on a Ruger scout rifle... it wears a nice piece of glass in the "traditional" location... I have zero .308 ammo to start with, & would like to get 1000 cases as closely matching...

so... I have a modern in line ( which is not legal for this "competition" ) & we have 3 "more traditional" rifles 2 of which we inherited from MRS dad, & one, a 32 caliber flint lock ( with an atomic frizzen ) I purchased a couple shortages ago, when you couldn't get primers ( in protest )...

So... as I go through my collection & try to build up a good "shooting supply" of brass for all my guns, I'm surprised that 30-40 Krag is lacking everywhere... even PRVI that seems to make ammo & cases for almost everything doesn't make anything... it's been a while since I looked at what I...

I know, I should slug the bore... thinking about buying PRVI ammo for the reloadable cases... think I got it priced right... my retired builder buddy saw them for sale at the local Runnings store, for $119.00 plus tax, looked through them & picked out the nicest one, then went home & totally...

I've started using Redding Profile Crimp dies on my hard hitting handguns or super light weights... I also just started loading for my 454 Casull Ruger Alaskan, ( the only gun I've ever had factory ammo jump crimps on ) I've had the dies for a while, & thought I had a profile crimp die already...

I've always carried OWB strong side ( over 10 years now ), & been wearing untucked shirts for long before I started carrying, so anyone that knows me, knows it's normal... I am a manager though, & thought I should get a couple holsters I could tuck a shirt if needed or wanted... trouble is, I...

specifically in my Hornady XTP's... used that same brand of bullet in 32 H&R Magnum, 38 Special, & 44 Special, & an average of 3 bullets per 100 have the nose packed full of ( I assume ) cob tumbling media, from the factory... anyone else seen this with the XTP's ??? if I missed one (...
