I know the '06 is not the hot military cartridge of our day, but where did all the surplus ammo go? I can't find anything cheaper than the big 3 U.S. companies ammo ($16.99@ Wal-mart). There used to be scads & oodles of cheap '06 shells from Russian Wolf to Surplus ball and belts of machine...

I have two .257 "Bobs", a new Ruger M-77 Mk-II, and a Rem. 722. Both wear 22" barrels. How fast can I safely get 100gr and 120gr bullets moving?

Four gun nuts of different kinds were bandying about an idea. Nuts 1-4 are: 1) A Black Powder Cartridge shooter, who loves big bores and HUGE bullets. 2) An avid handgun hunter who loves his 10" scoped Desert Eagle 3) A newbie who loves guns, but does not posess a lot of the...

My 721 went BANG! when I switched it from "safe" to "fire". A local gunsmith tells me the trigger is adjusted too light. How do I set it to a safer weight? Please, lets work with what I have; no replacement triggers.

So my ol' 721 roasted off a round when I switched it from "safe" to "fire". I have heard this is a problem with Remington trigger M-721/722 & M-700 rifles. Now the trigger on this gun is a bit light and according to a competent local gunsmith, the under-weight trigger is the source of my...

So, I have a '51 Colt replica in .44. Can it be converted to .44spl? How about a .36 navy to .38 spl? And what are the legalities of such a conversion?

I remember reading an article written by an Alaskan guide, claiming the .357 180 WFN was just as good a the .44mag for Big Bear defense. The theory was that the sectional density of the 357 load would allow it to punch just as deep, and since deep penetrating bullets don't, by their very...

I have heard much about using .32ACP and .32 H&R Mag in Nagant revolvers. What .32's will work in these old Russian revos, and what modifications are needed to do it? And what of the new .327? Does anyone make a .32 birdshot cartridge? I wanna throw one of these cheapies in my glovebox...

I HATE em'. How in the name of St. Swithins am I supposed to hit an iddy biddy target with great big sights?:confused: I know having a fixed sight barrel turned in the frame and the sight re-installed is a pain, but to me it's worth it.

Where can I get a spare barrel for one of these?

I have a .50 cal sidelock and would like velocity & drop tables out to 200 yards for the following load in a 28" barrel with 1:48 twist. Sadly, I have no chronograph, nor my own computer to load a ballistics program to. 385gr Hornady Great Plains HB HP 90grs Pyrodex RS CCI Musket Caps

Here in "Montucky" there is a 15 bird daily bag limit on mud hens (coots), but nobody shoots them. Why are they considered a game bird? I shot one out of a flock of ducks by mistake, and being a good sport I tried to eat it! WOW! Lets just say if I were as flexible as my dog, I'd lick my butt...

I know it's the ultimate useless accessory, but I still want one. Does anyone know where to get one of these? How about blanks to use them with?

Ok: I know it is still around, and I can even buy new ones, but are the really just a bulky .40 S&W? And what of it's vaunted ".41 magnum in a duty size auto" hype? Are there really loads this hot with, say, a 210gr bullet? If so, is it abusive to the guns that fire it? I have heard...

I am not allowed to pack a single action auto, but I do like 1911s and can carry any 9/.40/.45 DA auto I want. These made a big splash when they hit the market, but I don't know of anyone using them on the job...any job. would you carry one as an LEO? Anyone have experience with them?

Is it just me or do most .380 auto pistols actually kick more than a similar sized 9mm? I know it is because of the usually unlocked breach of most .380s. The reason for my question is that you hear so many people recomend .380's for women with small or weak hands. My off-duty FEG PA-380...

This thing will make you traditionalists recoil in horror. I will send pics when I get it out of lay-away. It is a titanium .357mag 8-shooter from the Smith & Wesson Performance Center. It carries a gold bead front sight, and will be wearing CT's Lasergrips. I also intend for it to carry an...

How do you concealed carry these things? They are bulky as heck, and if you drop an HKS speedloader in a pants pocket and walk around with it, it gets all loose and sloppy. Mind you I can use 'em fast, but they are tough to carry when I'm off duty.....He he, DOODY!

Is anyone still packin' one of these at work? Not as a backup, but for primary carry? If so, what are you feeding it at work? Currently I'm wearin' a S&W 15-3 skinny bbl, with 125gr gold dots. or 125 gold sabres

I said I'd let you know how it went. Here goes: My wife filled here 5 tags in one day. She cares not a whit about antlers. Her .257 Roberts killed a WT doe at +/- 300yards across an alfalfa field. That evening we were going from place to place on a field road and I spotted an old grey...
