What's the most politically incorrect thing you have seen/heard/read about hunting? Here's mine. Many years ago, I was heading west on I-70 for an elk/deer hunt in western Colorado. I pulled behind a large truck which was pulling a trailer with several off road vehicles on it. On the back...

I want to avoid duplicate threads. There is a LOT of good information on the Firing Line but searching for specific information is difficult, just like on this page for site questions. How do I make an effective search?

All, I want to make a display of various 30-06 cartridges and the spin offs from it. I know of the 25-06, .308, 270, 280 and others but will some of you provide cartridge types? Thanks.

I properly full length re-sized a Weatherby case with an RCBS carbide die. While the ram was at its fullest extension, I looked at the die to see if it was resting on top of the belt, which it was. Then, I pulled the die from the press and inserted the case in the die by hand but was only able...

I'm seeking information about what must be a wildcat round. I have a 300 Weatherby case necked down to a 224 caliber, complete with bullet but no powder or primer. On firing a round, such as this, I can't imagine how this bullet would remain in one piece coming out of the muzzle of a gun...

I have a 100 grain, plated, hollow base, round nose bullet. I also have a 100 grain, plated, flat bottom, round nose bullet. How can these two weigh the same?

I just posted a question about the advantage of a hollow base 9mm bullet. Please disregard this posting. I have the answer.

What is the difference between a 9mm, 100 grain, round nose flat bottom bullet and a 9mm, 100 grain, round nose, hollow base bullet, other than one is flat and the other is hollow? Is there an advantage to the hollow base?

Anyone have comments about this revolver?

The point I was making when I said I don't know anyone who wants to be shot with a 22 is that a 22 handgun, for concealed carry, is better than nothing. A couple years ago, I saw a show about which gun to carry as a concealed carry gun. The two hosts had a bevvy of handguns on a table...

Regarding concealed carry, I don't know anyone who wants to be shot with a .22, do you?

Today, I was at Cabela's. About one hour before my arrival, they placed 160, 500 count Remington, .22 LR boxes on the shelf for $25. When I arrived, there were sixty. You can buy only one box. I had coffee and conversation with a friend for a bit over one hour. At the end, I checked to see...

At Cabelas' earlier today, I purchased Lee 30-06 and 44 magnum factory crimp dies. The package is labeled as a factory crimp." I looked for a 38/357 factory crimp die but didn't see one so I tried ordering at their new pricing/ordering kiosks. I searched for .357 factory crimp dies and was...

Does anyone have experience with Pellier & Bellot primers?

Yesterday, I was tumbling some brass in crushed walnut shells impregnated with jeweler's rouge. While watching the media do its thing, I added a little powdered rouge. Immediately, the media began moving much faster in the tumbler. I guess rouge acts as a lubricant. With the medial moving...

A couple weeks ago, I put aside my ultra-sonic cleaner and began using my tumbler. I've been using crushed walnut shells impregnated with jewelers rouge. Today, I had some brass in the tumbler so I decided to add a little rouge while the tumbler was doing its thing. After adding the rouge...

Has anyone ever had an explosion or flame from using these pullers? A couple of years ago, I pulled some FMJ .357 bullets with an RCBS puller. When I dumped the bullet and powder into a container, I noticed an odor of burnt powder. In the container and in the bottom of the puller I could see...

A couple of weeks ago, someone posted a thread about the 10mike mike. He said he is having a hard time finding brass. I don't recall that person's handle but if he will contact me, I may have a source. Maybe I misread his posting.

A number of years ago, I was on a dove hunt in Arizona. From an acquaintance, I bought a Franchi over-and-under, 20 gauge which I used on the first day of the hunt. I couldn't hit jack squat. Sorry but I can't give you the Franchi model number because I don't have the gun. During that first...

On a duck hunting trip, during the last waterfowl season, a friend and I checked to be sure our plugs were in our shotguns after we loaded our guns. From my Winchester 1100, I ejected one shell from the chamber and two from the magazine. My friend ejected one from the chamber and three from...
