In a pistol, I know what is acceptable for performance. In my rifle, I know acceptable performance criteria. In 44 mag or 45 Colt, I’m a bit confused. Some folks shoot jhp’s. I’m assuming if loads match factory that bullets will be effective. If shooting JSP’s, what velocity do I need at 100...

In 2024, what is the right way to ship a cap & ball revolver to a buyer? USPS? UPS? FEDEX? I think I’m mostly concerned about running afoul of federal laws , but state & local matter too. If you did it, how did you do it? Did the shipping company know what they were handling?

I’m looking at full size pistol sights, not the micro’s…. Looking at Trijicon, I know they are top dog, but my upper limit is probably $500 and even that is double what I’m pretty sure would meet my needs based on my other micro rds. So, then it becomes me looking at the 407, 507 and 509...

IME, barrel length makes a huge difference in accuracy with open sights. Does it matter when using an optic like a red dot? With a red dot, is a 4” as accurate as a 10”?

I’m not new to revolver’s or even big revolvers or even deer hunting with revolvers. That said, I harvested a nice 4x4 mule deer about 32 years ago with my dad’s 10.5” 44 magnum. That said, we were total newbies. He bought that and we went to the range. Shot a few close 25 yd targets and then...

Anybody see these starting to be delivered? Exciting. Are you getting one? I put my name on a list. Haus of Arms SSK-50-FRAMES

Well, Quickload helped me find RE17 for 300 Sherman with 190gr bullets….but my gun doesn’t really like it. Trying AA4350 now. What has your experience been with RE17 in 270 win, 280 Rem/ai, 30-06 to 300 WSM sized cases?

When crimping for revolvers, how do you decide how much crimp you need? I know I need it enough to stop bullet movement, but how much is that? I tend to look at factory ammo and try to make visually similar. Then from session to session, how do you make it the same? Right now I’m doing this...

So, you get a new rifle, new scope mounted…broken in and confirmed it works by whatever your method is… So, how do you experience loaders pick components and prove them out to find the best load?

Is Smith & Wesson really not there? Any other big names missing?

I have a 5” Blackhawk Bisley. Normally I shoot heavy loads through it like 265gr at 1200fps. Looking to do either 255 plated or 255 hard case lighter loads that shoot with the same front sight….ideally I have titegroup, AA#5, cfepistol, enforcer, longshot, no. 11fs. Either Win LP or CCI LP...

Here are a couple things to read/ watch: Brownell’s: LINK Internet: LINK Looks like engine oil runs off and leaves us at risk or rust. What say the folks who have been running a few years like this?

I think I understand the rotor type. Basically a small clearance rotor that shears the powder stack when cycling….like scrapping off a measuring cup. How do the Harrell’s work? Do they prevent powder cutting?

Consider this an informal survey of Hornady powder measure owners…. Does your thrower leak any powders? Have you run Ramshot Enforcer? Does it leak? When was it made? I’m trying to decide whether to buy a new one. My answers… Yes. Yes, it leaks Enforcer. 2002ish

I read this article. New Executive Order I read this article and there are many parts to this order. The main piece seems to be ordering the Attorney General to enforce background checks….specifically to make sure FFL’s are doing background checks to the highest possible level. What does this...

Well, here it is. I picked a below max load for my 265gr cast bullets in Starline brass under a reasonable load of H110. Instead of loading 5 groups of 5 charge weights. I just loaded one as light as I thought I could be ok with the velocity. After sight in, I loaded up 18 rounds and shot them...

I have a cheap laminate 10/22 stock. I’m half tempted to prime and paint gloss yellow! But seriously, I’d like a stained finish I believe that is fairly glossy and durably. Gun will be used for benchrest and PRS type shooting. What would you finish with to give it a hard outer layer and a bold...

I’ll be I’ve read 50 threads on bore cleaner and seen few posts about using WD40. Over on the shotgun forums, they rave about WD40. Why not use WD40? a couple wipes and a couple brush strokes and it was clean! So, why not WD40? Also, why the tico sticks? They seem like a pain in the butt!

Anybody try to finish a stock with Bar Top finish? Like THIS

If I wanted a basic or basic plus shotgun for fun at the sporting clays range and a bit of light bird/squirrel hunting, what do you suggest? Definitely looking under $1000, but cheaper would be better.
