    Range failure.

    http://fox2now.com/2017/02/17/accidental-shooting-reported-at-neosho-gun-range/ Not really any information available that gives a clear picture. The public range has only got 25 yard stations. Because of this, people who want to shoot shorter range must move up in front of the line, and count...

    Paper hulls?

    Friend acquired a few boxes of rem paper hull twelve gauge rounds from probably the fifties. I think that he intends to shoot them. If there isn't any visible deterioration, would it be safe, or is it possible that the powder or primer may have deteriorated in some way? Personally, I wouldn't...

    What are the new standards in at combat ammo?

    Not trying to ask a stupid question. I have never owned one of the things, may never own one, and the last time I did any thinking about it the 55 grain with steel penetration core was the standard. Can anyone or several give me a short rundown on military standard, common le rounds...

    clowns

    I think that it's time to at least start thinking about the killer clowns. A "clown" somehow warned of a "clown" attack on the high school, killing and hurting the students. the police facebook page is flooded with clown concerned parents, in general, this whole clown thing is out of hand...

    probably everyone here ought to read this.

    I'm approaching sixty, and I still have what I call "DUHH!" moments. Moments when I realize that I've been so dense that I want to hit myself. Moments when I realize that something I've been doing forever was just plain foolish, misguided, naive, so forth. what were some of my recent "duhh"...

    Thoughts on carbines?

    I have owned a rossi 92 forever. I feel that it is just about as good as anything to keep on hand for defense. lots of heavy .357 ammo. No, it ain't perfect and it's not for everybody and there are hundreds of better ideas, but this is what I have and what I like, so let's focus on an...

    has anyone seen any "good" 1903 .303 enfields floating around at $100 apiece?

    Guy came onto a facebook group I follow, spent a page complaining about the prices that people set up, and complaining that people aren't selling their "used" guns at prices that collectors could afford. His benchmark was the enfield, and he said that he can go to all of the area stores and...

    Blasting ammo...

    I see a whole new category when I look online to shop. With? There is a whole new category for junk ammo that has no other purpose than making holes and wearing out steel? I'm surprised In the meantime, I see that attitude so often now. Dudes with semiautomatic rifles or pistol just...

    Does anyone load .357 Sig?

    Just curious. Seems to me that it might be a huge pain. I've been dumping it into scrap. If there's a point in it, ill just start bagging it up.

    Has anyone ever heard of the 5.7 gn being adapted to sporting rifles?

    The concept of the thing seems good, a 22 hornet .222 rem marriage,half way between, but I believe that the problems involving the loads, action alterations, and so forth, along with the fact th a nobody will really care makes it a worthless idea. If it could be put into a target grade rimfire...

    How about .309 lead 220 grain bullets in 30-06 at 1,500 fps or so?

    Lord, it is so hard to find information among all of the trash! I own a 1903-a3 Springfield two groove, dated 1945, probably never issued. It has given me acceptable accuracy with everything so Far. I've always liked shooting mid power loads, and I've fired a lot of lead rounds. It looks as...

    I couldn't really find a perfect answer by searching so I'm starting a new thread about the specifics. had a case blowout I don't have all the information to share just yet, but here are some of the facts. Pin strike was dead center and nothing offhand seemed unusual about the primer...

    Help me find a chronograph.

    Ill take new or slightly used, reconditioned, etc. New ones are running 80-100 with shipping, and I just can't make myself do it. All of the usual dealers are well over 100 delivered. Anyone know where to go, a sale, etc? I'm probably going to have wait for a sale at cabelas, use my gift...

    Cleaning discovery.

    I've never had a lot of luck with th dryer sheet method, mainly because we don't buy them. I keep a few chips if broken ceramic in me media, it seems to scrape it clean. For dust collection, I put a fine textured sea sponge in it. Of course it collects some media, and I gently tap the media...

    Browning rimfire

    I picked up some .22 lr hp rounds, and testing from a bench gave great results. I shot at the staple, and got them in sub 1" ten shot groups. I was doing poorly, and could have cut that group down to about 1/3 on a better day. Not match ammo, but that was good accuracy. Rest was a bag...

    What in the name of god happened to me?

    A smith and Wesson MP body guard, .380 semi auto, retarded blow-back. if that is important. I took a batch of current loads out, and along with all of the inherent problems I have found this thing to have, the accuracy went off the rails. I fired 24 rounds at 4 targets. I fired the first...

    30 carbine: dead round?

    Must b e millions of rounds of thirty commie sold, .223, etc. Thirty US carbine is gone. It'd be nice to have an old style carbine in nine mm, for that matter, a semi auto in the format of a 22 rimfire rifle might be interesting.

    A personal irritation.

    Maybe I'm the only one, but it makes me seriously angry when I find live rounds scattered around my range found over a dozen today. I pick them up, carry them home, and dump them in a box in a corner of the basement. I took a few pounds to a waste facility a few years ago, and I already have...

    Best brass sifter I have ever used.

    Cat litter sifter. takes up less space than buckets, as it stands flat. Dump brass and media in, shake the sieve, dump media back in tumbler, repeat until brass is spotless. Usually less than $20 at stores that have pet supplies. Even works pretty well on rifle brass. This is not the exact...
