    question about my loads

    Ok so i took the plunge and loaded my first lead loads for my CZ 40b in .40s&w. I've been loading for over a year now and have loaded some really good loads for my pistol. I decided to take the plunge and try to load some hard cast lead to save even more. I bought some 165g swc from mastercast...

    I challenge you.

    I've been here for a while now and I see that we are buying in to the marketing of hunting more than ever. There are so many products out there that we really would never need in hunting. So I would like to issue a challenge to see if we really need all the crap that The Outdoor Channel and VS...

    I'm sick to my stomach.

    Yesterday evening I was sitting in a ground blind looking over a picked peanut field. About 5:30 I saw some movement all the way on the other side of the field which is about 500 yards. I scoped it and saw it was a decent buck. I grunted pretty hard but couldn't get his attention and it was...

    9mm largo info needed

    I just bought a Star Super in 9mm largo and plan to reload for this gun as ammo is either expensive or corrosive. I've searched and found out that I can use 9mm luger dies; so I ordered the dies, cases, and bullets from midway tonight. So my question is; how do I set up the 9x19 dies to size the...

    I'm looking into buying a lightweight light recoiling rifle for my wife. She shoots a marlin .30-30 now but it's pretty heavy or her. She only hunts with me a couple times per year so I'm looking for something inexpensive. There's a Remington SPR18 in 7.62x39 on gunbroker for $219 and I'm...

    Old Marlin 336

    I just came about an older Marlin 336 in .30-30. THe serial # code indicates that it was made in 1964 and It's in good condition. The wood is in good shape with only one substantial scratch. The brown finish is about 70% and there's a little surface oxidation. The barrel is bright with good...

    finally knocked the stink off

    Got blood this afternoon. I've been getting a little anxious since I've been bowhunting since september and then muzzleloading and gun season has been in for three weeks. Anyway, I was meat hunting so I got a doe about 6:30. Perfect double lung shot at only 20 yards with a great blood trail. She...

    Why I reload

    Sitting at a family dinner a couple weeks ago my brother and I are talking about the upcoming deer season. I ask if he's still shooting his 300WSM (he's of the no less than a tank for deer opinion) and he says yes. He then says how ammo is so expensive and is set to go up again. He paid $50.00...

    Every hunter needs to watch this

    This video is kinda long but it's worth watching. I will never think of Jimmy Houston as a sportsman again. It's pretty disturbing. http://real-hunters.com/full.swf

    Wow am I lucky or what?

    Some of you know that I'm a music minister. So I'm sitting in my office today and one of my church members comes in and tells me he was cleaning out his shop and he found some reloading equipment and I could have it. It turns out to be a Lyman turret press, Lyman balance scale, Lyman case prep...
