Have an older Rem 700 BDL in 243 Win with about 600-700 rounds through the original barrel. All have been 70 gr varmint bullets over IMR4350. Groups had starting to open up some last summer. A season back groups at 200 yrds from a rest were 1 inch max, now they are approaching 2.5 inches...

Had a fellow shooter experience a range accident a few months back. No serious injury to anyone, but it did require a trip to the doctor for one person just to be sure. This got me thinking about adding a medic kit to my range pack. Does anyone already have such a kit with them at all times? Did...

I have a '73 vintage SBH. I bought a new white outline rear sight blade and it is thicker than the original thus will not fit into the blade slot. New blade is .050" where the original is .040" thick. Anyone know if Ruger changed the slot size at some point? This SBH was my Dad's. He bought it...

Anybody catch this on TTAG site? New York Bill Would Mandate Individually ‘Coded’ and Registered Ammunition https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/new-york-bill-would-mandate-individually-coded-and-registered-ammunition/

Sick of reading the "bought" reviews on websites. I'm dealing with a trespasser(s) of which the local law office says I need "picture proof" before they can do any more than warn the alleged offender(s). So I don't want the expensive top of the line unit, I kind of like the Campark T80 with WiFi...

My Dads 1973 Ruger Super Blackhawk. I want to treat a small rust spot at the seam of the grip frame and body. It's small, maybe 1/8" and I don't want to damage the mirror finish bluing. Is there any good "tricks" to removing the rust spot or am I better off just keeping it oiled and hope it...

New York is at it again. Jo Anne Simon assemblywomen in Brooklyn N.Y. has proposed a bill introduced in the New York State Assembly (A01413) that would prohibit non-profit organizations from holding gun raffles. In the sponsor’s message, she wrote: "Firearm-related violence is a significant...

My mid-70's vintage 45 Colt Blackhawk has very big cylinder mouths. I've been getting .454" 250gr LRNFP's at 12 BNH made for me (don't have the setup to cast my own) but the "one man shop" supplier is retiring from the bullet business soon. So I saw that Missouri Bullet mentions "custom sizing"...

Found the Grabagun website, has some pretty good prices and cheap shipping costs. Read reviews on the site and they all seem to be by "paid" writers. A few bad stories found elsewhere on the web, and more good ones too. Would like to know if anyone here has bought from Grab-a-gun? Thanks. E

I purchased a chest holster for my N frame Smith & Wesson from Clark Fork Leather. I read many posts here on this type of holster before buying. I'm very happy with my purchase. The quality and craftsmanship is outstanding. Chris at Clark Fork Leather was very professional to deal with and gave...

Recently acquired a Blackhawk in 45 Colt. Borrowed a set of carbide dies and picked up two bags of new Starline brass. Began to process the brass for some starting loads and when I had run 10 or so cases through the expander die, the 11th case got stuck on the expander plug. I was able to remove...

I'm in need to reduce the weight of my Ruger 10/22T due to left shoulder issues. I can no longer hold the factory steel bull barrel at arms length. I've done some research on the RFC forum looking for an aluminum barrel with a steel liner. Lots of opinions on who's barrels are better but nothing...

I'm looking for a well made leather chest holster for when riding the ATV. It will hold a 6" DA revolver. I have hip holsters but they interfere with the ATV seat when getting on and off and generally are low enough to allow mud to get on the gun. If anyone has experience with or uses a chest...

I've inherited a like new Ruger SBH 44 mag circa '74 pre warning.:) I am getting a lot of barrel leading even with the popular 7 gr of Unique under a 240 gr LSWC. :( The commercial bullets I have are sized at .430", I slugged the cylinders of the SBH and got .432". I have not slugged the barrel...

I'm suffering from "need another gun fever". I want a 1892 lever action in 357 Mag all blue with a 20" barrel. My choices are a Rossi R92 -or- a Winchester 1892. The Rossi is within my budget and the Winchester is not (right now). Should I save more pennies for the Winchester or would the...

I'd like to remove the rear sight on my Shield so I can work the striker block to finish the trigger tune up. I've watched Apex's and other videos on how to remove the rear sight. The set screw was easy as it came out with the soldering iron heat. The sight itself seems "welded" in. I made a...

My 41 Mag has a pinned black ramp .241" front sight. I'd like to change it to a red insert style. I can't seem to find a .241" red sight but I can buy a .278" factory red ramp sight but I'm not sure what that will do to the point of aim/impact? Can anyone educate me on this? Thanks E.

I apologize that I have not been able to read the entire text of the new laws yet, but my question may have a simple answer. Can those of us in NY still buy reloading components online and have them shipped to NY? :confused: Thanks. E.

Does anybody have a "light" load recipe for the old 250 Savage? I looked in some newer books I have but it's not listed (probably due to the cartridge's age) I'm trying to help a new shooter get into reloading for the only rifle he owns at this time. Thanks E.

I've had a CCW for many years now and have always kept it loaded with factory/store bought ammo. In the interest of saving some $$ I thought I might hand load some self defense rounds to carry. Is there any cautions for carrying handloaded ammo? Thanks E.
