After reading a lot of these post and getting to know some of the online personas of the posters, who would you like to hunt or shoot with? There are some pretty colorful characters here on The Firingline Forums. Some I would love to meet, hunt with or just target shoot with. For me I have...

How far do you folks go in cleaning your guns? The majority of people I know just run a dozen patches through their rifle barrels until the barrels are clean and say they are done. (I fall into this group) On my revolvers I clean the cylinder, barrel and wipe the rest of the revolver down...

I was reading in one of my books (Loadbooks, The complete Reloading Manual for the .45 colt, page 30, Starting Loads. ) that you should never go below the listed starting charge for a given powder/bullet combo. "Never decrease this charge as an increase in pressure could be encountered."...

I am giving up on Unique powder. :barf: Too dang much trouble to mess with and despite numerous attempts I can not get my Uniflow to throw anywhere near the correct charge. Currently I have two powders, Universal and 2400. Does anyone have any load data on these powders, using a Hornady...

I am thinking of getting a new scale/powder measure along the lines of the RCBS Chargemaster combo. Why? (Because it is neat!) I currently use the Uniflow powder measure and can not get a consistent measure using Unique powder. When I am trying to get 8.0 grains I end up with anywhere...

I had bought a few bore snakes to help with cleaning the rifles. I was skeptical, thinking they were just another gimmick. They worked great and I will be picking up more for the rest of mine rifles and shotguns. I put a little bore cleaner on the snake and pulled it through the rifles. I...

I would like to trade 2k small pistol primers for large pistol primers. I have CCI 500 Small pistol primers, which cost me $40.00 each. I am not hording primers :eek: My nephew picked them up at a gun show for me, not realizing they were the wrong size for what I reload. I am in west...

I need your help. I have a new vaquero and when I fire it, the cylinder pin (The part that holds the cylinder in the frame and which the cylinder rotates on) comes loose. Actually seems to "Walk" out of the revolver. I am wondering if I can tighten the base pin latch body (Plunger to release...

Guys (and Gals, if you are reading), I need your input on this. I am laid up and want to do some reloading. I have Mag-tech bullets .45 colt, 250 grain, lead Flat nosed (LFLAT) I have two choices of powder available to me. 2400 and Universal. What grain do I use? The closet I came...

I have a small range on my property. I like to shoot and invite friends over to shoot with me. Anyway, A friend brought his friend when we went to shoot. The guy made me nervous (He showed up in all the typical Mall Ninja Stuff, tactical vest, holsters strapped to both legs, knives stuck...

I am new to reloading and have 1k Wolf Large Pistol Primers and 1 lb of Universal powder that was given to me. I want to reload .45 Colt, using a 250 grain LFlat bullet. 1. I have read that primers all act differently. Reloading books say use either Winchester LP or CCI 300 LP for my...

I have a .45 revolver (New Vaquero) and I found the perfect leather holster and belt for it. The holster fits like a dream, but the leather bullet loops are so blasted tight. I want to be able to wear this pistol and belt to the range so I do not have to carry extra ammo with me. I can wear...
