    Insurance on your firearms?

    For those of us lucky to have more than one or two firearms, what's your approach to insurance? Most typical home owner's policies will cover anything you own... but only up to a point. Jewelry? Sure... a few thousand. You have baseball cards? Yes, the first thousand. Guns? We cover that...

    S&W 686/586 Cylinder counterboring

    Back when I was younger I had an acquaintance on the range I would see every other week or so. He had a S&W 586 with a 6-inch barrel, and he let me throw some rounds down range with it. I fell in love with it and knew I had to have one. A year later, when I had the cash, I bought one...

    Cast Bullets: What's the truth?

    ...and I welcome input from Mike @ Mastercast since this guy lives and breathes cast bullets. And anyone else who can help. I love cast bullets. If it shoots accurately and it's cheaper, I don't care nearly as much about anything else. If it's not the best ballistic performer, I don't mind...

For some folks, it's just not good... for others, it works quite well. I've tired a number of different Lee products with varying opinions on how well they've worked...

    powder choice/.44 Magnum

    A friend has asked me to build him some .44 mag reloads from his brass. He does not reload and doesn't want to get in to the hobby, but he'd like me to help him out because he's grown weary of $30 per box of 50 at the gun store. I figure that I'd buy the dies to add to my collection of tools...

    New to forum but not to the hobby

    New guy here... an old veteran of online discussion forums, so I know how to add to the population without bringing down the s/n ratio. The only part of the site I've read is this one on handloading... My first step was to spend a week lurking and reading back 10 pages worth of threads. If I...
