From another shooter's website it was reported that the Estes model rocket folks bought the GOEX concern. From what the report said, the Estes Rocket business is near Canon City, CO. If true, hope it all works out for the Estes business and HOPEFULLY for the B.P. shooting world as well.

Times being what they are, and all things considered, I've got to put a good plug in for Lee Precision. I don't have a lot of Lee stuff, but I do use their bullet sizing system for anything I need for cast bullet sizing. Last evening I tried to order a die that they had on hand (odd size for...

I'm thinking on shooting my .41 Mag. Ruger NMB with cast bullets; never done that before. Along with the Ruger, I have a Marlin M94 carbine in the same caliber that I'll no doubt want to try the cast bullet loads in, also. I have a box (500 count) of Oregon Trail laser-cast, lubed bullets (215...

I was just bequeathed a .20 ga. flintlock fowler (nice custom replica), and was thinking about shooting a turkey with it. I have a place where I can use lead shot, and was wondering about lead shot itself. I want to use #4 lead shot, and the supplier that has it advertises it as having a 2%...

I have a friend who would like to try hand loading for the .270 WSM. If anyone on the forum uses that cartridge for elk hunting, is there a favorite tried and true bullet/powder combo you like? Are magnum primers necessary? I’d be mentoring on this one, but have never worked with any of the...

Up until now, I've been using exclusively GOEX 2fg in my round ball, m.l.s. If any of you guys have some info on using 1.5fg Swiss in your flinters or Percussion guns, I'd sure appreciate some insight on performance. I did look a bit at the search engine here, but didn't find much as to my...

Went to shoot one of my ‘06s yesterday, and I generally like to use my Rand Elite recoil pad when shooting that caliber. Turns out the pad got left at home, but I had my Walmart, el cheapo, knee pads in my vehicle so I grabbed one, put the butt plate in the knee cup area and mounted the rifle...

Some few months ago, and after a lot of indecision on a concentricity gauge purchase, I happened onto a "new old stock" RCBS Case Master Gauging Tool. I got it on ebay for considerably less than a current new one, including the Sinclair tool I was thinking about. I've been using it ever since...

For better than a little while now, I've been looking for the Speer Hot Core, 150grn. Soft Point Flat Nose bullets (#2011s) for reloads in my 30-30s. Couldn't find them anywhere; local shops, and even when traveling around. Just empty slots where they should be, and none on the internet...

Evidently today at the Shot Show in Vegas, the announcement was made that Weatherby Inc. is moving to Sheridan, Wyoming. Quite the news, indeed. 70-90 new jobs, and 5 million annually in payroll in the next 5 years. Good news for Wyoming.

Went out this morning to shoot my 6MM Rem., and had it set up on one of the benches at our local range, while using my Caldwell rest system. I put a round in the mag, closed the bolt, and took the shot. The shot broke, with no cartridge being fired; just the audible click. Hmmmm... I opened...

My wife and I went to see "Dunkirk" last evening. It's a powerfully sobering movie, indeed (IMO). Very well done. As a kid, I built model airplanes and the Supermarine Spitfire was certainly one of my very favorites to hang from the ceiling in my room. Along with the movie as a whole, the...

A big day in history today; 141 years ago the Seventh cavalry unit under Gen G.A. Custer was killed to a man on the Little Big Horn. My wife and I drove up to Forsyth, MT, yesterday on an errand and followed Rosebud Creek most of the way up to the Yellowstone. There's a plaque on the highway...

Could anyone out there verify that this designation of a Leupold scope is the same as a standard length (near 12" on the old one I have) M8 4X? This is the description: Leupold M8 4X compact (duplex X-hairs, same as the standard one I already have). I have a great M8 4X that I use on one of...

Hello forum folks, I've got a nice old M336, 30-30 (made in 1960) coming sometime next week, and would like to try the Hornady 160 grn. FTXs in some handloads. Anyone have a good load using the FTX bullet? Preferred powder? Any other load/bullet/powder favorite 30-30 recipes would be...

I got this off of Shooters Forum a couple of days ago. Anyone else commented on this on TFL yet? For hunters and fishermen alike, this is a big deal. NSSF has called a big foul on it. This affects all federal lands, nationwide, the way it looks. I don't know if a new F&W director has been...

After reading the article in the recent Rifleman, and not owning a .22lr semi-auto handgun yet, the SW22 Victory looks like a real potential candidate to fill that niche in my arsenal. I've watched a couple of youtubes on the pistol since I read the article, and can't to seem to find anything...

I have a really nice Uberti, 8" barreled '58 NA Rem. in .44 caliber I got for a wedding anniversary gift from my wife back in '03. I still have the invoice in the original box, and with shipping back then, the cost was $183 bucks (from Midway). I don't shoot it much at all, but from time to...

Surfing around gun cyberspace yesterday, I came across this two spring system offered by David Tubb, and thought it looked like a good upgrade on a firing pin spring in a bolt gun. Anyone use this? I tried the search engine here, but didn't get any results. So, I thought I'd run it by ya'll...

There's a very nice old 12 ga. 870 Wingmaster offered for sale at a LSGS that I might be interested in, the starting price being 500 bucks. It's vent. rib barrel is for 2 and 3/4th" shells, and doesn't have choke tubes. I believe a new, updated 3" mag. chambered, vent rib barrel with choke...
