How does your state manage big game licensing? Do they allow tags to outfitters/landowners for them to sell? Do your license fees/taxes which help pay for wildlife go strictly to management or are you subsidizing the hunting industry for landowners as well? Here in Wyo, to date, our state...

When loading Berrys/Rainer coated bullets, does anyone else find they have to crimp their pistol rounds w/ more force than say a hard copper jacketed round? I keep getting length issues w/ my semi autos,,gotta be the bullets nudging forward..Thoughts? I have had no issues w/ jacketed bullets...

Well, I hope I did well, just found a lightly used Baby Eagle in .45acp for $425. Ive been reading up on them and it appears that most like them and a few folks vehemently dislike them. It appeared to have a similar profile in width to a 1911. This will be my first double action style pistol...

Strange days I tell ya. When I chased down my first late model Tikka rifle 4yrs ago, I happened upon a set of Warne scope/base rings at about the same time. I used the Tikka rings that came w/ the rifle and set the Warne rings aside for another riflle, etc. While the rifle has performed...

To anyone w/ experience w/ Accurate powders. One of the local gunshops/sporting goods stores here has a large supply of Accurate powders. From what I have gleaned, their 4350 is similar to IMR 4350 but the load data I have looked at suggests a few grains less in a similar loading:ie..30/06. Does...

Had the pleasure of checking out my F in laws rifles this week. Very nice, yet worn, 1892, 44/40. low serial number so yes built in 1892. Also, even nicer hammer 12ga, built in 1909. Model 1887? Lastly, a couple Steyr/ Mannlichers, one chambered in 6.5x54 and the other in 22lr. The 6.5 is much...

To any w/ experience w/ the Leverevolution loads. I see that Hornaday is offering the flex tip in a 160gr bullet, .308 cal. It appears to have a slight boattail. Since I really like Hornaday bullets this looks really interesting for a possible middle of the road 30/06 round. Question: Does...
