    New Henry 357

    Wife bought a new Henry 357 carbine the other weekend. Waited about 8 months to get it in. Didn’t want to reject it and wait another 8 months for a replacement. I thought the workmanship on the finishing of this rifle was dismal. Definitely a Friday job. (Maybe even after a 3 beer lunch...

    Goldenrod - Best drill hole location

    Pet load - 44 mag, 240gr plated

    When I first acquired my 44 mag lever I was only able to source a 200gr mold (Lee RNFP) … After several range trips I’ve settled on ~7gr Bullseye for that projectile. Wonderful accuracy. I have on order some Xtreme 240gr heavy plate bullets. Any recommendations on pet loads? I have scoured...

    Casting Ventilation setup

    I’ve been wanting to do this for quite some time. Long winters in PA. About $25 into this for fan and duct. Had the under cabinet lights and fireproof drywall. Really hoping the lights can take the heat. Haven’t fired it up yet. Thoughts? I’ve been wanting to cast when the weather is...

    Alliant 2400 inconsistent data

    Looking to load some 357, 125gr JSP and pulled my notes for 2400 ... very inconsistent range. Anyone have some other specs for this load. Alliant is showing 17gr max (they only show max). I can’t believe .015” would case that much discrepancy. What’s a good, safe min and max?

    Favorite 357 magnum, 158gr plated recipe

    I’ve been loading 125 and 158 grain plated rounds for several lever rifles I own. Started with a 700x since I had a 8 lb jug and the rounds seemed quite anemic. Tried TG as well and just didn’t have enough pop. Loaded 9.8gr Bluedot behind the 158’s and was a tad happier with the umpf I was...

    Varget & 223 reloads

    So my go to has been 25 to 25.5 gr of Varget with my 55gr FMJ pills. So far I’ve been quite happy with the results in several of my rifles. Wanted to load up a batch of plinking rounds and the thrifty side of me had me perusing my books once again. Most every reloading manual I have denotes...

    CZ75 or 92FS

    Looking for a 4.5 to 5 inch SA/DA pistol. I have a P07 and a Sig225 ... really like the SA/DA guns but wanting a full size gun. Any experience with the longer slide models? Doing the online reviews of the CZ75 and 92FS. Can’t decide. Any experience with those or other models. Really want...

    King Shooting Supply.

    I found this company online while searching for lead and coated bullets. Who knew they were in my backyard. Stopped at their local facility yesterday and picked up 500 of the 9mm and 38 wad cutters. The quality is really good... loaded up a test batch this afternoon. Sent from my iPad...

    Basement Range

    So in order to test some new ammo I loaded I decided to set up a range in the basement. I have multiple boxes stacked up filled with plywood. I added a dual speed hepa filter (1200 - 1600 cfm) and two bedspread 'curtains' to curtail the residue. So far I tested it out on my 9mm and 38...
