Well I made the mistake of putting my Blackhawk in my rangebag without putting it in the holster with the sights down, and my range bag slipped out of my hand.:mad: The end result was half of the rear sight blade breaking off. I gave myself a good swift kick in the butt for that one. I have...

Ok I inherited a CZ bolt action rifle from my great uncle that passed away a few months ago. I picked it up today. I need some quetions awnsered if possible.

Ok I have been csting for a few days now. My 2 cavity Lee mold will not close complletly now. I am getting a line in my bullets. It is a raised edge that I can feel when I run my finger around the bullet. When I hold the mold up to light I can see light through it. I have tried cleaning the crap...

I purchased a Lee mold and am now casting 210 grn LSWC. The only problem I am having is finding load data for the bullet. I used Trail Boss with good luck this past weekend. I have the Lyman Pistol and Revolver 3rd edition and it has the most load data of all of the manuals I could find at...

I think I found the right combonation for my M&P 45. I got some real nice groups today at the range. My first attempt at reloadin a couple of weeks ago netted way low impact to point of aim. I was seating way too shallow. COL was way too long. Next trip I seated a bit deeper, and increased...

Just recently I finaly managed to obtain a decent beginer's set up for reloading. Most of it came through trade. I purchased a small bit out of pocket. I was saving pick up brass from the range, and ceaning it with a tumber, and bagging it. I was holding off on buying equipment until I could...

I was given a gift card for Acadamy and was looking to score some ammo for the .45 acp, alas no ammo. This little sigle actoin caught my eye. When I saw the price tag it realy got my attention. $129 seemed a bit on the cheap side to me. So I researched it and put up a post here a while back and...

I found this gem in the safe a while back. I inherited grampa's guns when I was 16. 2 safes larger than side by side refrigerators full of various ones. I made a zerox of grampa's notes and did not look to see that it did not copy the old note that well. I am a long drive from dad's where the...
