    This happened about a year ago.

    But I would like some input on how I could have handled the situation better. This was at my parents house, I was in from college for the weekend. It was late and my father hadn't gotten in yet, I think it was around 11PM. I was in the back bedroom, nerding out to World of Warcraft or some...

    870 Wingmaster

    So, I just acquired my second 870 Wingmaster. It is a 30" full choke model. It seems to have been refinished in black coating, instead of the nice deep polished Remington bluing.

    Thinking about reloading.

    I am completely new to the concept of reloading. I'm drawn to it, as I recently purchased two very hungry and moderately expensive to shoot firearms (.270WIN and a .45ACP) and I would like to at least learn as much about reloading as an option as I can. I would like to find a kit that can do...
