I just got an older Marlin in 30-30. I was advised to go 311 on bullet size due to Marlins rifling. I just ordered a batch of 311 bullets 160 grain from Missouri bullet company at their recommendation. I am planning on the Lee Universal flaring die since this is the only bullet at the time I...

I'm wanting some cast bullets to reload in my JM stamped Marlin in 30-30. Any idea of a good deer and hog stopper in a commercial cast bullet??

I have been having a great time with this Henry 45 colt and plan on a 30-30 and a 357 in one when funds allow. I am wanting to start casting my own but Initial set up cost is about the cost of 1000 rounds of 45 colt bullets from Oregon Trail. Thought maybe melting in pot and ladling into mold...

I picked up 400 of these from mid south shooting supply for my 45 colt rifle. Not much information of hardness. No loading information so I just started using 8.5 grains of unique. No issues with rifle or brass. Too wet to chronograph. I used 11 grains behind some bullets a friend cast for me in...

I shot these out today from some I reloaded. I didn't expect the 7-08 to run neck in neck with the 6.5 since it is a heavy barrel and set up for this. I'm not to keen on the 120 grain bullet for hunting and was wondering if the accubond might group as tight with the 7-08 as the 6.5 did. I was...

I found an octagon barreled 45 colt with tang sight and appears to be in really decent condition. Bluing appears to be more of a haze color than blue. Not parkerized. This one is right at $1k out the door. Are the Ubertis worth that much? I don't care much for the new and few Marlins I have...

I'm getting ready to order or pick up dies for this. Saw reviews on Rcbs that showed problems seating Hornady eld and eldx bullets. Are the Hornady dies ok. Never used one. Acadamy has them local for half midway price.

I never thought I'd get into the 6.5 craze but found a Tikka CTR with muzzle break and Vortex Viper HS today. 24 inch barrel verses my other CTR that had a 20 inch. Got it and 2 boxes of Winchester match and 2 boxes of federal match so I will have brass to reload after I get dies. Hope it warms...

I really want one of these and found a used synthetic in 25-06. I reload for everything I shoot. Reading all I can it appears to be a finicky rifle E Arthur Brown has actions cleaned up and trigger jobs. Most local smiths here don’t do trigger jobs on the TC. Is buying this used a mistake for...

My Lgs has the Ruger AR and the smith for $470.00. I had the Smith last year but traded out of it due to money needs. Got a little extra and want to pick one of the 2 up tomorrow. I used a Vortex strike eagle 1x6 on the Smith and factory ammo 1.5 to 2 inches scoped. I handloaded some Hornady 55...

I've got a Lee collet die for a 308 and it took a lot of sanding and adjustment to get it to work. I want to get one for 7-08 and Midway doesn't have a Lee. Was considering Redding or Rcbs. Any suggestions

After hunting some this year and doing a lot of bench rest shooting I am finding out my most accurate rifles are too high power scoped and weight is an issue. Cutting back and have sold off most rifles. I am looking for a rifle I can hunt with and shoot some longer 1000 yards at the range. I am...

Euro optics having a decent sale on the 3x9 with 30 mm tube right now. Anyone use the lower end Meopta scopes. They are about 1/2 price now through tomorrow. Thought I might try one.

Been using about 30 to 32 grains of imr 3031 and Speer soft points. Can’t keep groups under 3 to 4 inches with Marlin lever and Burris full field scope. 150 grain bullets all I can find local. At 100 I at least expected 2 inches or better. Any advice.

I just got a can of this. Have been using 2 fifty grain pellets of pyrodex. It was shooting good groups out of Thompson Center Impact with 250 grain Hornadt sst. According to blackhorns web 100 grains by volume is 70 grains weighed on scale. In tube that is about equivalent of the size of 3...

I saw these on Amazon searching for a rifle scope. I shoot mostly off a Uncle Bud's Bull bag at the range and it is never the right height. Have to prop it up with 2x2 or 2x4's. According to specs my bag would be about 6 inches too long but it is when I put lumber under it. Does anyone have...

Anyone know of a ranch with management game from Abiline to Van Horn that doesn't cost arm and leg for decent guided hunt. Getting older and want to try the area before I'm too old to do it. Googled some western hunts and 5-6000 average. Some semi guided around 1800 or so. Don't know who to trust.

Found a Tikka Hunter for sale online and was wondering if anyone knows what kind of recoil pad the Hunter has. I've got 2 Tikkas and have had to buy new limbsaver pads for both. The factory pad was like a pice of truck tire cut off and screwed on. Hard as a rock. Was at local gun store today and...

I've owned Remington's, Winchester, CZ, Sako, Tikka Ect but we have never had a Browning in the house. Husband inherited a synthetic A bolt in 270 from a friend who just wanted him to have it since he didn't hunt anymore. Looks near 90% condition. Will have to shoot to know for sure but would...

I was browsing for a Model 70 yesterday and didn't find any in a caliber I wanted. Came across a Model 670. Thought it was sawed off until I googled it later. Price was in low 400s. Caliber was 270 win. Felt like it had had trigger work done to it. Probably would have bought it but guns bluing...
