The question is just that. I tend to crank pistol ammo out pretty well. I do spend some time on .357 mag, but otherwise I spend as little time as possible. Plinking .223 ammo out of my AR is different though. I don't hand measure each charge or anything (I use a Lee autodisk), but I do spend...

Ok, this is more of a public service announcement and no one may be interested... but I wanted to share my findings... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GJXM06?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 So I recently had my 4th child (whom we refer to as 4th baby as a joke, but not...

So the handloading forum is chock full of threads about technical questions, so how about just a preference discussion? Do you enjoy cranking out pistol rounds en masse, or is reloading more of a chore where you look for time to crank out 100's of pistol rounds for a match or practice? Do you...

So I gave my boy a rifle for Christmas and he was obviously dying to shoot it. We rarely shoot at public ranges as we have private land that we are allowed to shoot on. Deer season is in, though, so I try to be considerate and not shoot when I know someone may be hunting. So we drive 2 hours to...

Ok, so I tried to search this topic before starting a new thread and couldn't find anything so here we go... So I decided to use a Lee autodisk powder measure for the powder charges in my current run of .223. The powder I'm using is Western Powder's X-terminator... which is a very small grained...

I have to share this... sorry. So a friend calls today and asks for advice. He want's a Magpul stock for his grand dad's Mosin Nagant that was handed down to him, and he asked where he might could find one. I told him to check midwayusa or brownells. Then he pulls out the doozy.... Him: So...

I know the question is a no-brainer. Were it a FTF, probably no one would sell a gun if they get a hinky feeling but here me out... Today, as I was coming out of the gun show and walking through the parking lot, I see the strangest thing. I see a very young looking kid walking through the...

So I tried to figure if I should put this in reloading, casting, or even the legal section but I figured the general discussion forum would suffice. There has been the "scare" rumor going around about Doe Run Lead Smelter and how it was supposed to end the manufacture of lead bullets in America...

You work diligently prepping brass, measuring powder charges, and preparing groups of several different loads to test in your rifle. Heck, even your 9 year old little girl who wants to spend every minute of every day with you loads some of them under your supervision because she wants to be a...

So forgive me for not posting pics... too lazy to but I still have the target so I can post later. Group of the day was .321 center to center from 142 gps measured yards. That's .23 moa. I wanted to set up at 150 on the money but I would've been behind a dike and wouldn't be able to see the...

My memory is fuzzy as it has been a long time since I've seen it. A few years ago there was a free gear/pass it forward thread. Some people gave away some really nice stuff. Some people just gave away stuff that was useable but they didn't need anymore. I'm going through some gear I have stowed...

This is for ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES Although this is how I believe everything will go down, this is for amusement and not meant to push any buttons. The federal government will be tied up in fiscal cliff debates for the coming weeks. During this time, the price of EBRs and any other potential...

Still new to reloading... matter of fact I haven't fired a round I've loaded out of my rifle yet. I'm reloading once fired federal .270 brass. I've noticed that some of the primers in the factory ammo appeared to have been sealed with lacquer (or something similar). Now that I'm reloading, I've...

After years of wanting to get started, I have finally begun reloading. I have one quick question. I'm reloading once fired brass (fired out of my .270), neck sizing only. When I go to load my rounds in the rifle, I've noticed that they're very snug in the chamber when I push the bolt down. I...

Good Grief!!! I haven't really looked at firearms in the past year at all because times are tight for me. Not that I can really call myself "in the market," but I was kicking around some M/N prices. Holy Cow! $120.00 + shipping is about as cheap as I can find! Not long ago you could get it...

If you had to choose between a 16 or 20 inch 357, which would you choose? I have a fairly large frame, so I'm not worried about the 16" being "handy" or anything. I'm worried more about efficiency? Does the round lose anything out of a 20" barrel, or is it still picking up steam past 16?

So I've been kicking around this question in my head for a while now. How far is too far when modifying mil-surps? I've never done a bubba sporter job, nor do I have the desire to. I DO have an interest in taking old mil-surp rifles and making them as accurate and smooth as possible. Tapping...

Has anyone done a fluf and buff on a trigger and the result actually made the trigger stiffer? I'm using VERY few strokes with the lightest stone possible, following with a little buff with a low grit polishing compound. I've had great succes with a couple of triggers, but 2 of them (one...

So, my lovely wife actually loved the idea of hanging the ol' mauser over the entrance in our bedroom. It really fits with the theme of the room quite well, but I can't decide if I want it with a closed bolt or open bolt with a clip in. What do you think?

I don't know if we have one of these or not, so I did a search and didn't find anything. Anyway. Post em or just tell us, what kinda accuracy are you getting out of your ORIGINAL C&R firearms? I've been bitten by the C&R bug hard lately, but I still like to shoot my toys. I'm of the Colonel...
