    H&R Revolver cylinder won't turn, can it be rapaired or can I get parts for it?

    Hi everyone I have a H&R .38 special CTGE. It's nickle plated and looks as if it hasn't been shot that much. I'm not a wheel gun man but I'll do my best to describe the issue. There's a part on the revolver that pushed up and turns the cylinder clockwise. This part has a very sharp edge and...

    Can someone reccomend me a hydrosonic cleaner?

    Hey guys, I am getting tired of replacing tumbling media... it sucks. I also hate sifting, the waiting, and the noise. Can someone recommend me a semi-cheap hydrosonic cleaner? Any personal experiences are welcome! Thanks : ) -Dave

    So I was shooting 300 yards today with my savage and I had such a BANGIN group going! It was so good... and then I blew the last shot >: | Hand for size comparison(My caliper is not at home) I blew the last shot.... pretty bad This is why 5 shot groups mean more than 3 shot groups. This...

    Check out this video

    http://www.spuler.us/gunsandammo/ 4:05 "A lot of people are surprised to find out, that in this room you would have been safer if someone was firing a rifle at the other end of that house than if they were firing that .45 or 9mm." I think that is a pretty general statement to make(ALL rifles...

    Small base die for an M1 Garand?

    Do I need to use a small base die for an M1 Garand? I remember I had a mess of trouble with my AR and it required a small base to function properly, I dont want to have the same trouble. Should I get the small base to be on the safe side? Thanks -Dave

    .38 Special VS .357 Magnum

    We all know there is a HUGE difference between these two from the factory....but what difference is there to a reloader? Surely .38's should be loaded more conservatively if they will be shot out of a .38 wheel gun rather than a .357. But how can someone tell? When I work up reload I just...

    Differences in shotshell hulls when reloading

    Just curious. I am looking up reloading information in my shotshell handbook and the hull types are very limited. I was wondering if I could change out a remington gun club hull for a remington premier STS hull. Im going to go slice one in half and compare the dimensions of the insides.

    20 ga. Slug reloading

    I am just getting into casting. I figure if I can cast boolits I can cast slugs right? I have had my eye on a H&R Tracker 2 for a while now, I think I want a 20 Ga. slug gun for messing around with, and deer hunting. My questions are... *What do you prefer 12 ga or 20 ga? *What can I use for...

    Will scratched brass scratch a die?

    I recently had to send an RCBS die back to the mfg. because it was horribly scratching the necks of my casings. I believe the problem to be dirty brass fed into my resizer. I have remedied this by tumbling my brass until it is 100% clean now. The die still isnt back from RCBS now...so in the...

    Can you reccomend me a good powder for 45ACP please

    I have heard HP 38 was one of the best powders available for the .45 ACP....but I cant find it anywhere. I found a few shops who stock 1 lb. containers but the 8 lb containers are no where to be found. I dont want to have to go on a crazy search every time I want to buy powder... Generic...

    Why do you cast, or why dont you cast?

    Im still kinda up in the air about casting bullets. I have never loaded pistol before...but jumping from buying rifle rounds to pistol rounds I see a dramatic increase in the price. Especially the 45 ACP bullets. There is a ton of money to be saved... I DONT want to cast for the following...

    How do you guys get free lead?

    I just called up every auto store around here... Everyone told me it was "Against policy" to give me the lead... another told me "The owner is a cop so he wont be giving away any lead for BULLETS!" To which I replied... That's odd most of the people I shoot with are law enforcement officers...
