I have shot handguns for 30 years. A lot of it in Service Pistol matches and PPC competitions. Now I'm just a Plinker. How much shooting practice do you think it takes to remain competent ?? I'm coming up with 8-10 visits to the range per year and shooting 4 boxes of ammo (200 rds) per...

Last week I put up a post asking about hand held priming tools. I ended it with a PS: You have to have used the product you are recommending. (???) I guess it's kind of a odd thing to say but I know that there are those that will recommend only their brand. (even if they have not used that...

I am helping a friend set up for reloading rifle. I was going to recommend the Lee Priming tool, but it looks like they are into 4th generation of "improvements". The ratings for them are all bad !! (I have 2 Lee priming tools from the 1980s that I still use to this day.) So if Lee is...

Got to work yesterday on cleaning up my reloading area. I had many, many Tupperware containers with 9mm, .45ACP and .38 Spl. By the time I finished amalgamating all my brass, I was left with 1. 5 Gal. pail of 9mm 2. 4Gal. of .38Spl 3. 2Gal. pail of 45ACP...

Hello All, I have a Weatherby Vanguard MOA rifle with a 16 oz trigger Anybody have a super duper accurate load for the .22-250 that they are willing to share ?? Got a VFS match coming up. The barrel is a 1 in 12 twist .. Thanks

I will start off by stating that I have no military experience at all, none, zip, zero, zilch. If you were in the Army, would you prefer to carry a Pistol (with an extra mag) or would you rather just carry your service rifle M4 with 2 or 3 extra mags of ammunition ?? I think I would be...

I want to mount a peep sight onto a Weatherby Vanguard 2 , 300mag , bolt action. Who makes one that will fit the bill ?? Is this kind of odd ? ( I am putting together a CQBG .) Thanks for any info

Just finished reading "Glock-The rise of Americas gun". It is an easy read and moves quickly. Gaston Glock, with no experience in guns pulls off the coup of the century. It is amazing what this guy did, he was not a total rookie in the manufacturing game, he made Austrias military knife...

Back in the 1970s I remember I could name (almost) every gun that showed up on a TV or movie screen. Revolvers were easy, S/W cylinder latch vs Colt mushroom. Semi-autos , Well the 1911 ruled the screens.Bond with his PPK, Beretta's in Lethal weapon. etc.. But now there are so many...

Do you own a gun or two that you really like, but almost never shoot ? I have a Walther PPK, got it 20 years ago for $150. Supposedly they were all German Police pistols, that were not allowed into the U.S. because of the Gun control act of 1968. So a local dealer got them at a low, low...

A friend just bought a HK P30 (a 9mm Semi auto) I do believe he got a lemon. Using Remington 9mm Ammo the gun had FTF and FTE problems mag after mag. So used some of my American Eagle 9mm and the same problems. Then we used the other mag in the kit and we got the same results- All Bad ...

Have any of you taken a gunsmithing course or gone to a gunsmithing school ? I would like to learn how to fix, repair, modify, accurize , etc..... the Colt 1911. Next would be the same but for the S/W Revolvers. Where did you go? How was it ? or should I just get a couple of clunker...

I was wondering "how many machines , like the 1911 Pistol have been around for 100+ years in a virtually unchanged configuration". It is really incredible to have a handgun that is 105 years old and still in active use. Thank You J.M. Browning. The Zippo lighter was invented in 1932, Fisher...

When you study the history and development of the modern firearm it soon becomes obvious that it was done in small increments. The first gun was just a small cannon tied to a stick. Then came match locks, flintlocks. Mean while black powder was being improved into smokeless. The ignition...

I was thinking of casting my own .38 and 9mm bullets. I read a line the other day that says -"Casting your own bullets, completes the Hobby" What are the basics required and where will i get the lead from? Just some ball park figures on the cost if I start at intermediate level equipment...

I am at the range with A Sig 9mm. I have a dozen shots on target - low left, but in tight group. The Range Officer (age 70+) comes over and tells me that I'm jerking the trigger. I tell him that's not the problem," I need adjustable sights. On my next target, I aim high and right and shoot...

Are Kimber Semi- auto pistols all that they are made up to be?? They advertise incessantly on the outside and inside covers of the major magazines. Where as most of the BIG players do not really advertise all that much. Is Kimber just trying to buy a reputation through slick ads ????

Anyone disassembled and installed SRT (short reset trigger) ?? Into a Sig Sauer P226. There is are some videos online, but I wish I had a book with illustrations. How did it go? I am not too bad, at taking guns apart.

Anybody willing to share their favorite accuracy load for the .243. We have stock rifle Target matches here for 100 and 200 yards. PS : For the price I think that the Weatherby Vanguard rifles are one of the best Value buys out there. A 1 inch MOA accuracy guarantee, good trigger, reliable...

Just looking for some fun, skilled and lucky type shooting, to entertain the membership. I was thinking dueling tree for handgun. Pop can "races". Handgun/22 rifle Pop cans set up at 7Yds. Member has to shoot at can and get it over the 20Yd. line. What has worked with your club?? I would...
