I there such a mold that will make bullets that is pointed in the 110-140 grain range? I would like it gaschecked. Any recommendations?

How many rounds do you keep at home for each gun? For me its pretty easy every gun I own is 22lr, 357 magnum, 45-70 or 12 ga. But I know most gun owners have many different guns in many different calibers. Do you try to stock up on each round you shoot? To me that seem very expensive. I even...

I have been helping my dad reload for his 450 Nitro express. We have shot alot of bullets through the gun to find what is most accurate. In the end the choice came out to be woodleigh 550 grain Copper Jacketed bullets by a wide margin. I was hopping for some thing cheeper. These bullets run...

looking for some help with some one with quick load. I am looking to shoot a 300 grain cast rifle bullet in my Ruger 77/357. I plan to use 38 special brass or cut down 357 magnum brass if needed. I can load up to 357 magnum pressures. The OAL I can do in this rifle is 1.61 inches the bullet...

I am looking for some place that has load data for a cast lead .358 caliber rifle bullet loaded into 38 special or 357 magnum brass. I am doing some experimenting with a Ruger 77/357 Bolt action. Id like to try some really heavy bullets to see how they do. I am not looking for lots of speed just...

Blasphemy? I know to some of you it is. I have been trying to mix up the hunts recently. I have tried archery, black powder and even handgun hunting. Its kind of lost its spark for me. I do try to kill a deer every year for food. I occasionally hunt Elk and black bear and have even done a few...

Several years ago I took a Bison with a 45-70. I was shooting a 405 grain pill at about 1300 FPS. The shot was about 60 (give or take) yards. Any way the meat was awesome and it was pretty fun and I got a cool blanket and a skull mount. For the past few years I have been shooting my Marlin...

Lets say that at an auction a person bought a storage shed that had not been paid on in a long time and was now up for auction. Lets say that inside that shed was a wooden crate with a 1911 and a Thompson sub machine gun. With out getting in trouble is there a way to find out if its been...

Here is what I am looking for in order of whats important to me: 1. Low Power (Fast on target) 2. Light Weight (looking for less than 10 oz 3. Ballistic Dial options (in yards so I dont have to mess with MOA during a shot, the 357 magnum has a lot of drop and my brain works slow) 4. Cost less...

I have been meaning to test out these in my carbines. What I got it a 140 grain Hornady bullet in Federal Brass with a Federal Small pistol primer. The load was 20.5 grains of Power Pro 300MP. From my Coonan they are getting about 1650ish FPS (if memory serves) but are very uniform. From my...

I have a few boxes of Hornady 125 grain Critical Defense in 357 magnum. I have used it as my Carry ammo in my S&W 640 but also shot it in my Coonan and my Marlin several times. Any way I just got my Ruger 77/357 carbine a few days ago and tried out this ammo. the first magazine worked great...

My son asked me for my Marlin in 357 magnum for graduation. So have been looking for a new rifle in 357 magnum. I finally settled on the Ruger bolt action. The reason I chose this gun is 3 reasons. I have been really into suppressors lately. 1. ability to use pointed bullets. I have a mold for...

I am just wondering what the velocity of the old 45-70-500 was? I have read report from about 1100 to about 1350. I am looking to make a modern nitro powder equivalent just for some fun plinking and need to know where to start.

So my nephew brought home this handheld green laser that is so bright that it can pop balloons and start fires. While this would not be very practical on a firearm I am wondering if it would be legal. The size is too big for a firearm in my opinion. Its about the size of the old police...

As some of you may know I am looking for a good 357 magnum carbine. I currently have an old Marlin that has served me well and has a lot of sentimental value. My father bought it for me because the 30-30s knocked me over as a kid. My grandfather (an amature gun smith with a lath) cut the barrel...

As many of you may know I hunt alot with my Marlin 357 magnum. I love the gun but over time my bullet choices have changed a great deal. When I was a kid my dad had me use 158 grain bullets for deer. Once I was old enough to be out on my own I switched to 180 grain bullets. Over time I migrated...
