I bought my 10 year old grandson a Mossberg 500 20g a youth shotgun that came with a mod choke. I bought an extra full choke already and made an offer for a full choke online today. I don't want to start him out on turkey loads, but today I saw 2 3/4" 1oz #6 shot and 3" 1 1/4oz of #5 shot...

I want to mount 2 scopes in dedicated Ruger M77 rings. I would set them forward in the slots, tighten them down and then mount the scope. If I did that with another set of rings and a different scope, how well would they hold zero when switching back and forth between the two scopes? Thanks.

I have a DNZ 1 piece mount on a Savage Model 12 converted to a 450BM, and I want to shim the rear pad with a .012" shim so eventually I can get more elevation/yardage on the Leupold CDS turret. Wheeler makes a stone tool to put in the rings to lap them so the rings are straight. I have tube...

Recently I bought a 450 Bushmaster that a guy converts from a Savage .308 action. This dang thing is nearly the best shooting rifle I have. The magazine only holds 2 cartridges but that's fine, the issue is loading them. It is very difficult to push the cases down past the "side lips" or...

I understand inches drop and MOA drop using an adjustable target turret. But for simplicity sake, let's say I'm zeroed at 100 yards and the inches drop at 200 yards is 8", with an approximate 4 MOA drop. If I had a target turret that was 1/4 MOA per click, I'd just turn it up 16 clicks to shoot...

Which would be more accurate - the Ruger American 450 Bushmaster bolt action with a 16" barrel and 1:16 twist or a 16" 450 Bushmaster upper for my Colt AR15 with a 1:24 twist? I would think the bolt action would provide more velocity, not sure which twist would work best. Thanks.

I'm looking to buy this used shotgun for my grandson. I don't know all of the specifics yet but it looks to have the gold trigger pump with 2 barrels. The deer barrel has iron sights and I would assume it is not rifled but rather a smooth bore thats either choked or has a screw in choke. I'm not...

I apologize this is not a firearms question but I value the knowledge on this forum. With a 30 yard zero on my crossbow, the drop at 40 yards is 5". (That does convert to about 12.5 MOA). If I use a holdover or Kentucky windage, would I aim 5" higher on the target to hit it at 40 yards? Sorry...

I understand his OCW method to find the sweet spot where the shockwave is away from the muzzle when the bullet exits. But I don't understand his method of shooting in a round robin sequence rather than all shells for a specific charge at once. Meaning if I loaded up 4 different loads, I would...

I tried several laser type bore sighters and never liked them. Then I bought the Leupold Zero Point and after understanding how to set it correctly, it never ceases to amaze me how good it works. I have a cheat sheet on all of my firearms as to the exact distance from the center of the bore to...

I've seen on some forums where guys like to use the maximum powder charge allowable and even exceed it just a tad and claim to shoot keyholes with those charges. I've never been that fortunate. It seems like I get my best groups using 40% - 50% of the specified powder range on the Hodgdon...

I have a crossbow scope with 92 MOA travel - 46 MOA each way from the center. But it is lined up right now with only 36 clicks available to the left and 55 clicks to the right, which messes up the farthest yardage using the elevation turret as the erector tube may be bumping the inside of the...

I couldn't find anywhere else to ask this so here goes: I want to make a stock with a Fajen style cheek pad. I've done a shotgun stock before from a semi-finished blank and only needed a flat wood chisel to inlet the front portion and a pneumatic disc sander to finish up the walnut stock. But...

Just wondering how much cast off you've had done to your stock. I would think a stock made with cast off built into it would be easier than steam bending a factory stock any considerable amount of distance. Thanks.

I'm RH and left eye dominant but stayed shooting RH. During a recent eye exam it was found I have macula edema in the right eye - the crosshairs look wiggly. Steroid shots didn't close up the blood vessel that's leaking so on the 12th I start a series of shots injected into my friggin' eyeball ...

I need a new crony since I decided to put an arrow thru my Pro Chrono Pal. I see two different types - the display on the unit and a remote display at the end of a telephone cord. Are the remote readouts more of a PITA or are they better to use than the readouts on the unit? Thanks.

I think I figured it out.

I have the Fiocchi nickel plated ammo for .380, 9mm, and 40 S&W. Awhile back I bought .380 nickel plated brass which I think was new, and loaded them. I recently bought some "once fired range brass" in 9mm nickel plated. I sorted them by brand, and put them in my Thumbler with stainless...

I just bought a Ruger LC9S 9mm and will add those dies to my reloading arsenal. But I see dies listed as 9 x 19 and dies listed as 9 x 21. I bought Fiocchi ammo and those cases are 19mm long. and I auume any cases I buy will be the same. Do I need 9x19 specific dies or will a 9x21 die set work...

I still can't get my arms around in the difference between the two different choices for drop: "in/100yd" column versus just plain "inches" on the JBM ballistics table. Can someone explain? Thanks. Calculated Table Range Drop Drop (in/100y) (in) 0 *** -1.6 25 -1.0 -0.3 50...
