    1917 Enfield with modern ammo.

    I was at my uncles house last week and he gave me 10 boxes of modern winchester 30-06 ammo. Normally I only shoot my own reloads which I load down so as to no damage my M1 Garand. I shoot those same reloads through my 1917 Enfield. I am unsure though if shooting the lighter ammo is necessary...

    Should I duracoat my 1917 enfield?

    Two weeks ago I bought a 1917 enfield rifle. It is in good shape considering it is 100 years old but I feel like the finish on the metal is a little worn. A few years ago I bought a mosin nagant which I duracoated and it came out very nice. I did not have much issue doing this since at the...

    Can accidentally dropping a primer in the case cause an explosion?

    A while back someone told me that if I accidentally dropped a primer into the brass case this could cause an explosion when the round is fired. I am not talking about accidentally setting off a primer by dropping it, instead I mean what would happen if you accidentally mixed a primer in with...

    Mixed Headstamp brass and the M1 Garand

    I have a bunch of commercial once fired mixed head-stamp brass and I want to reload for my M1. My only concern is that is will not be very accurate. I always load brass of the same head-stamp with my scoped rifle, but will it really make a significant difference in the M1?

    So the only rifle powder I have been able to find is Hodgdon 414. I have never used this powder before and it is not included in any of my loading manuals. I need to load 110 grain Sierra HP bullets in my 308. Does anyone know where I can find loading data for this?

    How do you think criminals get their guns?

    I was reading a thread in the handguns forum about what types of guns most criminals carry and I though of this. How do you think most criminals obtain their guns? Straw purchase? Black market? And then how do the guns make it from the factory to the black market?

    Loading the Remington 1100

    I love everything about my new 1100 except for loading the tube. I hate how I have to press that button before I can lift the carrier to get a shell in. Doing so is slow, annoying, and I sometimes even use two hands. Any aftermarket parts which could solve my problem? Also I would prefer to...

    The Cost of Loading Shotshells

    I want to start loading shot shells but someone told me that they really don't save any money by doing this. How much per round does it cost you to make just standard target loads for shooting at clays?
