    High volume magnum shooting?

    I often hear people mention the 1000s of rounds they've fired through their 357, 44, and 45's but have never quite seen the point in it. I guess you could plink with those calibers, but ive always shot mine slow fire at longer ranges. I have my loads sighted in and have good days and bad but...

    Have we lightened up on 1911 shooters finally?

    I remember a few years ago you were deemed irresponsible if you carried a big heavy, low capacity, hair triggered, manual safety, less than uber reliable, outdated 1911 for protection. What gives??? I see the carry what your most comfortable with argument still being mentioned. Sometimes the...

    Any 357 SAA fans?

    It seems like everybody prefers the 44 and 45 calibers regarding the colt SAA and its clones, and turn up their noses when you mention the 357. Not sure why this is since its been in the line up for over 50 years. Just wondering if anyone here is fond of that particular combo, having really put...

    I've never really found a method I'm happy with for shooting around the left side of cover with a long gun. What method do you guys use? Im right handed right eye dominant. Thanks

    Why did it take the AR 50 years to catch on?

    People often like to list the advantages of the ar such as low recoil, accutate, high capacity, modular, etc. You'd think a gun with such merit would have sold like hotcakes from its introduction. Looking at old magazines it doesnt seem to have been very popular pre 2000. I remember in the 90's...

    Trim or shoot em once more?

    I just loaded up a box of 270 and about half of them are tough to chamber. The case measurements are about 2.55 on the sticky ones. The loads are about a grain and a half under max. Should i dissasemble the whole box and trim or do you think they would be safe to fire one last time? Thanks

    My local shop has a 45-70 pedersoli sharps in stock and i was curious to those of you who shoot such rifles, what sized groups i could expect at 100 and 200 yards using the stock ladder rear sight and blade front sight. I could add a soule rear sight later but was curious about the factory...

    I'm new to mil surplus rifles and was wondering what models would have been most popular in america before ww2 in both sporterized and original configuration. Say something a farmer in the 20's or 30's might buy as an all around gun. Thanks

    Rem 700 trigger job woe

    I adjusted the trigger on my cdl to where I'm happy with it crisp-light-no creep, but today at the range while testing it by intentionally slaming the bolt forward on a loaded round it did go off once. I'd hate to start all over on it and wonder if I can just tighten up one of the screws a bit...

    Anyone else not get John Connor?

    I'm not trying to pick on him and I havent read all his articles, but since he started writing for American Handgunner I've never once understood what the heck he's talking about or learned anything from his columns. They seem full of inside jokes and made up words and after about half a page I...

    Cant hold it steady

    I shoot rabbits in the summer around 100-200 yards usually. Last summer I took 130 shots and only got 30 rabbits. I was using a scoped 3-9 bolt action and plan to do so again this summer. There is no support in the desert so all my shots were offhand or kneeling. I went out today and found I...

    A2 sight question

    If using the the large 200 yard aperature and you want to shoot at 400 yards do you simply turn the rear sight to the 400 yard setting or do you have to switch to the small aperature and turn to the 400 yard setting? Basically for longer shots whats the procedure? Thanks

    500SW muzzle brake (remove?)

    Does anyone know if you can remove the muzzle brake on the original style S&W 500's? I think it might look cool, sorta like a huge 629/686. Thanks

    44mag VS 45acp

    The 44mag is best know as a hunting round but from a purley hypothetical and scholastic point of view do you think a good 45acp bullet Gold dot/TAP/DPX would stop a human antagonist better than an equaly well designed 44mag if recoil and rate of fire were not an issue? Thanks

    Downloading the magnums

    So I'd like to get a Vanguard deluxe but they dont offer it in the smaller callibers for smaller game. Not being a high power cartridge reloader or big game hunter, are there any problems with downloading calibers like 30-06, 270, 7mm with light bullets to moderate velocities. I really like the...

    Larger birdshot for HD

    I've heard many times that birdshot wont penetrate to adequate depths if used more than a couple yards away on an attacker, but have never heard anyone address the use of the larger duck and geese sized birdshot like B,BB,T. Since buck and birdshot cross into eachother caliber wise I'd like to...
