I was hunting white tail around my property (unfortunately none where close to my house) when I saw one about 75 yards out behind some brush. I had my 45/70 with me so I felt safe taking the shot through the brush. For what ever reason The shot was not an instant take down, the deer ran a ways...

I think its marketing genius. I think its just typical Hornady ammo but marketed to the zombie Apocalypse people out there. http://www.hornady.com/ammunition/zombiemax I think its just A-max ammo with green tips in the rifle and critical defense with green plastic inserts for the hand gun ammo.

I just bought a Hodgdon reloading manual. I see that the loads look a lot hotter than the loads from my Speer and Hornady books. Are these loads really safe? For the 357 magnum 125 grain bullets using H110 Hornady says that the starting load is 17.4 grains and the max load is 19.9 grains...

First of all I have to say sorry. I know I could look this up my self but currently all my reloading books are boxed up... had a leaking pipe. :( I have been thinking of reloading for some CAS fun. I know that you can load a 357 magnum brass with a 38 special load and have it fire, the question...

Yesterday I saw that my local gun shop has a 1895 Marlin in 457 WWM. I have been looking it up on line and found that it is a custom job for a longer 45/70 bullet. That got me thinking:rolleyes: If this rifle can take a longer bullet would I be able to load those Hornady 325 grain flex tips...

I currently carry in my pocket most of the time (J-frame) But I am looking to carry some thing a bit bigger. I occasionally carry my Coonan Classic in an IWB holster but to be honest I have hated it for a long time. I have carried many 357 magnum revolvers IWB as well and have hated them all...

I have done a lot of shooting of my 1894 marlin. I have about 500 bullets in the 110 grain range. I all so have a large quantity of H110 powder (4 LBS) I am wondering what a good load would be using this powder and these bullets? This is for a lever action so I don't have to worrie about flame...

I currently own many 357 magnum firearms both in pistols and rifles. Among them is a Coonan Classic 357 magnum semiautomatic. I am wondering if a standard 9mm can will be able to handle the pressure of a full power 357 magnum round or if not what you would recommend. I realize that I will...

I have been helping a friend of mine learn to shoot rifles. He is a Hand gun guy. He kept complaining that he was having a hard time with the scope. After some talking to some other guys at the range they sujested to us that he should see if he is left eye dominate. As it turns out he is. He is...

I am still thinking about eventually making a NFA short barrel shot gun from a Cheep stouger SXS I have had for some time. I am wonder how much power I will loose if I cut it down to the end of the front Stock (about 8 - 9 inches) If I am able to have screw in chokes installed (If that is...

I was at the range last Friday and saw a guy there shooting a 9mm revolver. I started thinking about it and was wondering if the 5 inch revolver barrel (because the chamber is not considered part of the barrel) is more of a benefit ballistically or if the cylinder gap takes away more energy...

I was watching some youtube videos about 1911s and there was a guy there who talked about how releasing the slide with the slide release is bad for a 1911 and that you should manually ride the slide when chambering the first round from a new magazine. Is it true that you should not release the...

I had a Remington 597 17HMR (which was recalled) for a long time and finanly decided to call Remington and see if I could exchange it for a 17HMR bolt action. The one they are trading it for is a Marlin VSFL which is a bolt action 17HMR with a laminate stock and a stainless barrel. The thing...

I have been thinking about buying a chronograph to see how well some of my (and my fathers) reloads are doing. I don't want to spend a lot of money and I am happy with a pretty simplistic set up. What is the best chronograph I can get for under $100.00?

Is there information out there that has data for heavy bullet loads for a marlin guide gun? I am looking to find some data for reloading 500+ grain bullets for my 45/70 Marlin guide gun.
