Note from Spats McGee: This thread was split off from another one, and makes reference to the following, originally posted by Gary Slider: I'm from Tennessee and this is the first I have heard of it.There is a lady running for governor who says she will fight for your pistol if you own one...

Hunting season is just about to start and Thursday morning I was diagnosed and had surgery for a widow Maker. I have seen pro athletes get hurt and be gone for the season but this seems to hurt me more(for one I don't get paid millions)I was finally going to get back to the woods this fall.The...

This is a question that has been asked before but it's been awhile now.What new reloading programs have come on the market as of late that offers load development?The reason for asking is there is almost no information on the 9mm +p round.Just wondering if any programs could help develop some...

I took this rifle to the range and the first time I loaded a round in it I could not get a round to cycle.The lever wouldn't move it completely jamed.Dug it out after I got home and double checked the length to make sure it wasn't to long,checks out fine.

Now that the election is over and I won't have some anti gun nut bangin' on my door saying give me,give me, give me I'm thinking of getting one.What do you folks think of for a first ar?It will likely be used by my son and wife.The only proviso is it must be able to have a 300 blackout or 6.5...

Found a 469 Smith today while bumming around in the pawn shops.I was looking for a Bersa 9 compact pro for CCW but this is 12+1 and I think about the same size.Feels good in my hand and not at all heavy in my pants pocket so a holster should do fine.I know it can use the larger mags from the...

Went to the range yesterday and it was an all 45 day.The trouble is I had loaded the Lee 230 gr roundnose tumble lube bullet in both a 45 acp highpoint carbine and a Ruger Blackhawk in 45 colt.In both I had several tumble in flight and keyhole the target at 10 yards.Could I be pushing it too...

I know the 308 is known for its accuracy and has won many rifle matches but since I recently came across a honey of a deal on a 300 win mag I have been reading a ton of testimonials on its use as a match rifle.I realize that it's flatter shooting than a 308 but so is a 30-06.My question is does...

I have a 7 1/2" SBH 44 mag in stainless and I'm thinking about a scope or redot sight for it.What do you guys recommend as far as mounts?

I recently read an article about using the 38/200 round and the 38 super police load.Some very well thought of folks including Skeeter Skelton had recommended its use in a snubbie.So I was thinking (perhaps my first mistake) about the Lee 310 gr in a 44 spl Bulldog.I have found very limited info...

For those of you who do powder coat do you size before or after you bake them?I just started trying it this year and was wondering which way to go in a 45 colt Super Blackhawk.I am not trying for max loads just 1100-1200 fps.

I bought a Ruger. Blackhawk 45 recently and thought about giving it a try on hogs.I have a Lee 340 gr mold and have seen an article about using a 340 by dry creek that looks the exact same.Does anyone load heavy for the 45 and if so what do you go with thanks Russ.

I have been recently looking into the idea of using moly coating on my bullets due to a friend of a friend that uses them.Is it worth the time and trouble and expense?

Saw one of these in a pawnshop the other day and just wondered what a fair price for it is?What year did they make it ?It looks to have a 26 in otagon barrel on it and it is not a wall hanger some marks and dings from a trip or two in the woods but still very nice.

I own several 44's but made the plunge this week and bought a blackhawk in 45 colt.My question is how do I go about getting a 45 acp cylinder for it?Not sure of the vintage its serial # 47-56xxx so is it even possible to get one?

Hey folks I was just wondering what you guys think about the 375 Winchester and what went wrong with it.I always get a one book/one caliber book for every cartridge I reload but its data is in my 458 Win book.It looks like a good round but I have only seen one rifle chambered for it in my life...

Does anyone on the forum cast this bullet and if so how long is it?What kind of COL does it give you in a 357 mag?I am looking at this for a levergun.All help will be appreciated.

Just wondering if we could get alot of info on what is your favorite load in terms of accuracy,plinking,or power and what caliber it is.I cast a Lee 200 gr for my 44 mag that I load to 1300 to 1400 fps with HS-6 and it is my most accurate reload.

Today is a very special day for me I brought home a new addition to my gun family a M1 Garrand I did not notice it until I got it home but it has a number and an NRA stamp on the barrel and slide.What is the significance of this?The numbers are not the same nor are they the same as the serial...

Why does it seem the 16 gauge is in decline?There are alot of folks out there that love it but ammo is not as abundant as 20 or 12 ga.Has it lost favor in your area or is it still going strong?I have only found a couple of places here that even stock ammo for it.
