Anyone have any idea where I can get a clip for a Remington Model 522 Viper .22 LR rifle? I came up empty on Midway, Cabela's, Weidener, Cheaper Than Dirt.

I have an Aimpoint Comp red dot scope on my .454 Casull and it just went dead. I e-mailed Aimpoint, asked for instructions as well as being notified of any charges before repairs were undertaken. I had sent this scope for repair in the past and was surprised when I received a bill for the...

There have been threads in the past about seating depths. After reloading my 6mm PPC tonight I thought I'd share this with those of you who seat bullets by measuring from the tip to the base of the case, i.e., OverAll Length (OAL) compared to measuring from the ogive to the base (I call this...

There have been some discussions about seating depth and I thought this might be useful for the newer reloaders here. Overall length (OAL) measurements are usually given in the reloading manuals, and these refer to the measurement from the tip of the bullet used in the manual to the base of the...

This sounds so crazy I'm ashamed to post it but I think MAYBE someone will have a real explanation. I have a .270 win that shoots a 150gr Hornady Spire 1.5" high at 100 yards, dead on at 200 yards and 6 inches low at 300 yards. During two separate trips to the range, under different...

This has probably been dicsussed on other threads in the past but I just wondered about other shooter's experiences when cleaning your guns. I just cleaned 3 rifles yesterday after several hours of shooting and I reflected that I rarely ever get those patches totally free of black. The blue...

I'm having a .270 Win rebarreled to .25-06. Is the process for handloading as simple as just resizing .270 cases with .25-06 dies, then fireforming in the rifle and continuing to reload as usual? I've never resized cases to a different caliber before.

I have been a NRA member for over 30 years, but I discontinued membership a few years ago because of the constant requests for donations (even though I may have already donated) and renewal notices for membership even though I had a 5-year membership in effect. I figured the only way to figure...

Anyone from PA familar with House Bill 2228? 19 Democrats and 1 Republican House of Representative members cosponsored a bill on Feb 5 that calls for encoding serial numbers on the base of every bullet, with matching numbers inside the mouth of the case, that is sold in PA. Sales records will...

I'm in an e-mail discussion with a relative who believes handguns have little usefulness for hunting but exist primarily to kill people. I told him we'd have to go back in history to see what the basis for handgun development was. Did man use a handgun primarily to hunt for food, then...

....that one .270 (or any other caliber) shoots a Hornady 130gr SST under 1 MOA while another .270 with the same twist rate won't shoot as tight a group until you use Hornady 150gr spitzers? We have all come to realize that all rifles "prefer" certain loads, and therein lies the beauty of...

Here's an e-mail I just sent to Hornady. What are your thoughts? I've been reloading 17 rifle and handgun calibers for 31 years, having great target and hunting success with Hornady roundnose in 175gr 7mm Rem Mag and 150gr .270 Win, and 150gr spire in .270. At one point I wanted to enter...

I am new to in-line shooting and I bought a Thompson Center Omega 50 cal rifle. Watched the CD (the last third was distorted and non-functional). I haven't had any problems but there remains a question that keeps me unsettled. My first shot out of a cleaned barrel seems to seat much more...

Anyone have any experience with the MDM Muzzleloaders? Any other preferences using 209 ignition? Thanks

I'm in the midst of a anti-gun/progun discussion and I need to know if Wallmart sells guns. Anyone know?

Does anyone know why silencers are illegal? The most obvious answer is to aid law enforcement in indentifying the location of a current shooter. But surely most crimes involving weapons have been committed before the police arrive on the scene. Given the well-known hazards to hearing...

This is a lesson to all newbies. No matter how many years you reload, you always experience something new. I reload .300 WSM. One day I thought I'd load up a bunch of new trials using a Hornady 165gr bullet. Did everything and got to the bullet seating position. Damn, these bullets seem to...

A friend has an original action and bolt from a 1917 Enfield made at Eddystone. Does anyone know where to get a barrel and stock?

I have a 6mmPPC that was built for me by RW Hart. I do not bench rest shoot competitively, just for fun. With Norma cases, Berger 68gr bullets, BL-C(2) powder and CCI 400 primers I got a 4-shot, 100-yard group of .257". I've used H322 and Varget and no group with Bergers, Hornady VMax or Sierra...

First time this has happened. I loaded a few .270 trials with H1000 but they wouldn't chamber, so I had to pull them to figure out why not. What I noticed, however, was the H1000 clumped up in the case. Had to use a small screwdriver as a tool to break it apart since bumping the case on the...
