Was doing some research this evening (rather then studying for finals :p) and I got to wondering...what caliber range has the best ballistic coefficient? I know the 6.5mm range is better then 6, but what area sports the best average overall? Thanks, F-C

Now I have browsed and browsed through pages on barrel break ins. Everyone seems to have a different view on what should be done. Some the break in would take 6 months, others an afternoon. So, what is the easiest, proven break in for a barrel. The barrel I am going to be breaking in is a...

So this particular round has really caught my eye as far as ballistics. I'm looking for a good rifle to fir nicely in between the 6mm Remington and the 45-70 Gov't as far as caliber range (not so much power though :p) Was just wondering what everyone thought of thee round. Right now it is top...

So I figured after all the discussion that this thread had on my prior post, I need to follow up. I talked to Alan, excellent man to talk to. He answered a lot of my questions straight forward and got me squared away. He is very knowledgeable about their products, really helped me out a...

I have a 6mm Remington barrel coming for my TC Encore. The entire rig is going to be Stainless with Grey Laminate stocks. The situation is that I can't find a scope to fit my needs. The primary use for this rifle will be coyote/groundhog sized game out to 500 yards. The criteria: 1. Quality...

So I was looking at getting another gun, but I think I am going to upgrade some of the ones I have. I would like to get better glass on my 6mm Remington (even though it isn't even finished yet). I was planning on putting my Bushnell Legend 5-15x40 on it, but I think I might go better. I...

Okay, so I got some great news this week. I found out that some things will finally work out between school and work, so in light of the happy times I want to decide on a present to get myself. I have a list of possibles, and not all are rifles, but I hang out here the most... 1. CZ Ringneck...

Okay, so I have 2 reloading manuals of current publication. Neither one tells me how to set my dies properly so that I don't tears up cases, dies, etc. This is the part that I'm not comfortable with. Any books that I should get or advice on the subject matter would be really helpful. Thanks, F-C

Okay, so I have read and been told several times to not bother with the Lyman auto prime tubes. I have been told to just set them in by hand and be done with it. But, my question is would something like this be profitable for me...

Okay, so I am getting ready to start reloading for 6mm Remington and 45-7 Government. But, here's the one thing I haven't been able to read about or learn so far. Is there a trick or formula in which you can figure out how many grains of a said powder will burn most efficiently in your barrel...

Okay, so I have a full length sizing/depriming and a seating die from RCBS for my 6mm Remington set up. I know with factory unprimed brass you should always full length size on the first loading, which is what I will be doing. But, afterwards I would like to just neck size and keep my fire...

Okay, so I am looking into getting a 6.5mm-06...but the trouble is finding brass to reload. There isn't much of it out there and it's kind of expensive. But, knowing that it's parent cartridge is the 30-06 (almost identical specs) can I form it easily? If so, what all is involved? Is it...

Okay, so from the lists of info in the other thread, I have narrowed it down. Now I need to narrow down some more. Keep in mind that I want the flattest shooting, easy to hand load and I don't want anything way overpowered for the deer/antelope sized game. So, the list is: 243 WSSM 6.5mmx55...

So I want something for deer/antelope sized game, but I don't want anything normal. No 30-06, 7-08 or even 257 Roberts. I was looking at some of the Weatherby rounds...300 is amazing but way overpowered. 6.5x55 has caught my eye, but it is another one of those that is fairly common amongst...

Okay, so I was talking with theshootist1894 tonight and we got to going about amazing ballistics. Mainly because he is going to gunsmithing school and we were talking about what crazy chambers he could do in an encore barrel for me. We both think it would be amazing to get something moving out...

So I was looking at the RCBS Legacy Loading dies. They look really good for the 45-70, but the question is will they work well with more modern bullets? It says they work great for lead bullets, but what about the jacketed stuff that is out these days? I'm not going to load cowboy loads, I'm...

So I picked up the new version of the movie 3:10 to Yuma this week. Excellent movie by the way, I would give it an 8-8.5 out of 10. Anyways, in the movie there is a Mexican sharpshooter who has a very peculiar looking rifle. It resembles a cattleman's carbine that were popular back in the...

Combining both ammo and the actual model of a gun, what is the most reliable, accurate, capable handgun of all time. I'm talking ammo is available commonly in the US, it has stopping power, reloadability and overall outstanding performance. The gun must be accurate, easy to take care of and...

So I am wanting to use my Franchi 12 gauge to dust some coyote tail. What is the best load to use? I have some left over slugs from deer season that I know will do good, but what would work in the way of shot? The gun goes up to 3" mags so no Super Mag loads or anything... Thanks, F-C

Well last night my stepdad gave me his old Stoeger Luger .22 Pistol for my birthday. And, with normal family guns, I don't plan on selling it for the simple fact that it has some sentimental value. But, in order for me to keep and want to use it, it needs another magazine and better grips...
