I agree with some of the ideas that Ross Seyfried and Ashley C. Emerson have expressed in print. Ross has mentioned several times picking cartridges of different caliber/power levels that have very similar trajectories so that when you grab your Elk rifle you can use same holds that your used...

I am doing research for DG rifle. Not concerned about push vs controlled feed. I like the '98 Mauser action because it is simple and reliable IMHO. I prefer the longer cartridges because of the greater margins (ie lower pressures) and flexiblity (can use "long" bullets like X with less...

I am considering doing a research project on shooting events were the criminals involved seemed to have above average (for goblins) tactics (i.e. Dade County), shooting skills (i.e.Whitman), or equipment (i.e. '97 Hollywood bank robbery). I know there is a lot of information about Dade County...

I want to do something to recognize the victims and heroes of 9/11 this Sept. but haven't thought of anything that seems right yet.

I have some friends that have serious pigeon & rat problem in and around a few of the buildings on their farm. In some spots I have safe line of fire to use 22CB's or even stingers. But in some places I think shot would be best idea to prevent damage to the buildings. Which shotshells will...

My Id seems to think I need another rifle. And I have been thinking about a pseudo scout in 9.3x62. Most factory loads that I know about use the 286 grain bullet. For deer and lighter game I would probably use Nosler's 250 BT or a similar wt bullet from Hawk at ~2600 fps. Would like any/all...

Wonder how well the 22 QS works on varmints at close range, does it offer any advantage over a Stinger?

Started reading journals of Lewis & Clark and they mentioned that they carried a Swivel gun. I know very little about Swivel guns and was wondering if anyone could provide more information. IIRC they usually had around a 1" bore. Any idea how heavy they were, if they were rifled or not? Did...

Is there any general source, or basic techniques, for galley or squib loads for 243, 308, 338, 375? Would a single pellet of No.4 buck work for a 243? Or No.1 Buck for a 308, "O" or "OO" buck for a 338, "OOO" buck for a 375? Can anyone tell me the approx wt in grains for the various buckshot...

Do you use iron or optic sights?

If so what load(s) do you use and for what kind of targets/game? I am looking real hard at the TC Contender Carbine, NOT the pistol, in 7-30 Waters to carry with me when hiking. Main use would be to for plinking and varmints.

by a tree rat. By the time we found the intruder, at 2:00am, he had made a serious mess. We had the squirrel trapped in the laundry room, which is in the basement, so I had the brick wall backed by yards of dirt for secondary backstop. Since the squirrel could get back into the walls thru at...

Not concerned about trajectories or ME. Has anyone noticed any real difference in effect when comparing similar SD bullets between the two. Thinking 300/180 partition vs 338/225 partition, 300/180 "x" or failsafe vs 338/225-230 "x" or fail safe, or 300/200 swift vs 338/250 swift.

http://www.sskindustries.com/ar10.html Does anyone make or convert M1a to 300 WSM yet? If not is it possible???

I have seen little battery operated motion detectors used as alarms in storage sheds. Wondering if anyone can tell me where I could a similar device. I am looking for alarms that are small enough to carry easy with other luggage, that you could use when staying in a hotel, RV, hunting cabin...

I know the P40 is lighter and felt recoil will be greater, but wondering if someone can give me an idea of the practical difference. Any difference between full power 135 loads and full power 155 loads? Anyone run their Kahr 40's over a chrony? Only 40 that I have shot is a G27, a friends...

I am looking for listing of and information on rimmed catridges that have been used in singles, doubles, and drillings. I know of the more common ones like 22 rf & hornet, 30-40, 303, 470 NE and many of the large bore NE. But I am trying to find more out about more of the small & medium bore...

I started wondering the other day if it might actually be easier to find good SD ammo at a fair price for the 40 S&W than it is for the 9 or 45. Unless your in LE the only full power 9mm's load you can get are corbon's which are good but not very economical. With the 45 my first choice is 230...

Since Cooper and everyone else has argued over the terms General Purpose and Scout rifle, I figured I would use a different term. What I am thinking of is a rifle that is light enough and comfortable enought to carry with you 24/7 or as close to that as one can manage. The primary shooting...

What are the problem areas? Any gunsmiths to recommend?
