Recently traded for a 45 colt Ruger 'old' Vaquero. I plan to start handloading for this revolver as soon as I can get the dies, primers, and bullets for it. I've been loading 308, 30-30, and 38 specia/357 mag for a few years now. Before I get started though, I've got some questions about the...

Had an Ak around the house that I simply didnt shoot much anymore, especially after getting an AR. Traded the AK with a local fella for a stainless 'old' model Ruger Vaquero in .45 colt. I'd been wanting a big bore handgun for a while, and orginally was holding out for either a 45acp or a...

In the next week, I plan on buying my first AR15. I'm having trouble deciding on what I want/need though. There are so many options out there, and having little experience with AR's, I dont know where to start. I'm a pretty good shot. I've been shooting for years, and I've bolt actions in many...

Dicks Sporting Goods currently has Marlin model 795's on sale, and with the mail in rebate that Marlin is offering, the price on a brand new one still in the box comes out to about $98.00 I bought one yesterday and took it to the range today. I'm very impressed! Its every bit as accurate as...

A few months ago while shooting my .22 magnum, I noticed that one shot kicked harder and had a much louder report than my .22mag normally does. I was curious as to what happend, and when I tried to eject the spent casing, I found it was stuck. It had to be removed with a cleaning rod after...

I've been using the case lube that comes in a tube and must be rolled on my cases. I'm not a big fan of it. It works fine, but its very tedious. Are there any alternatives? I've heard of spray on case lubes, but I've heard that they may affect the way powder burns. Are there any other lubes...

I just recently noticed that Tech Sights has their AK47 sights out and in production. I really like the concept, and it seems like a very sturdy way to mount one. http://www.tech-sights.com/ Before I spend the money, I'd like to know if any of you have used the Tech Sights for the AK47, and...

I've got some twice-fired winchester 308 brass. It has been sitting stored in a box for a few months on my loading bench, but I noticed last night, after doing some full legnth sizing, that most of the cases have a bright ring aprox. 1/3" of an inch above the rim. This wasnt very noticable...

Looking at some pictures of the Mossberg Plinkster, I cant help but notice that it looks exactly like a Marlin 60, but with removable magazine instead of a tube mag. Are they the same gun? Is there any chance that Marlin makes the plinkster for Mossberg?

I've been trying to work this out in my head, but I havent had much luck. Most of my shooting has been confined to shooting at 100 yards with scopes with 1/4" clicks. For about a year now, I've had a remington 700SPS in .308 winchester Mounted on the rifle I have a Bushnell Elite 4200...

I was recently given a few hundred peices of mixed headstamp brass for .38 special and .308 winchester. I'm new to reloading, and I'm learing the ropes as I go. I've probably loaded only about 1000 rounds since I've started. The brass was given to me by a freind at my gun club that saves...

I'm a forest ranger, and today, while planting trees I came across a deer carcass that had been killed during hunting season and left by the hunter. The cold weather recently has kept it from decomposing much, but its still smelly and not very good looking. I'd like to take the skull, clean...

I'm kinda new to reloading. So far, the only calibers I have loaded are .38 special and 357 magnum. I bought a .308 Remington 700sps a few weeks ago, and I intend to reload for it too. I'm suposed to recive my dies in a few days. I found a good deal on some winchester 7.62 ammo. I know it...

I bought myself a Christmas gift last night. A Remington 700SPS varmiter in .308win. I'm fairly new to the .308 round (I've shot a few borrowed savages, but never owned a .308 previously) and I'm also new to Remington rifles. I was just wondering if there are any other 700 SPS owners out...

I've got a red dot that I would like to put on my converted Saiga 7.62x39. I've seen several different mounts that are for AK's that attach to the base the side of the reciver and wrap over the top of the rifle, but I dont know which is best. I've heard both positive and negative reviews of...

I recently was offered a good deal on a Ruger SP101 DAO 357. Nice looking gun, but I uasually shoot revolvers singler action because it gives me better accruacy. Would it be possible to purhcase a normal SP101 hammer and replace the one in this gun to make it a normal SP101. Would this have to...

I saw a rifle recently that sparked my intrest. A Gibbs hunter 45-70. looks to be a rebarreld No4 SMLE action with a 45-70 barrel in a sporter stock. has the lines of a big bore hunting rifle, and the conversion looks to be very well done. Cany any of you shed any light on these rifles, and...

I have a Saiga carbine I picked up at a gun show a few days ago. It has a cheap plastic buttstock on it in place of the normal AK's wooden stock set. After shooting it a bit I decided I'm going to keep the plastic stock because it fits me alot better than the tradtional AK stock. The stock is...

Mabey its a silly question, but I've never came across it before. At the gun club last week, I patterend an early 1950's 12ga Stevens 311C with some 7.5 Dove loads. My question, is would the gun throw a similar pattern with say, #1 Buck, or should I do seperate patterns for that? Also, the...

I've got a love/hate relationship with my marlin 982S .22mag. Somtimes it will shoot a .75 group at 100 yards, other days its more like 4 inches :eek: I think it may be that i'm getting the barrel a little too hot at times.. but i dont know just how hot a barrel has to be to move the zero...
