Went to the local club's gun show today. Got Dad's S&W 10-6 out and decided to reload for it. Thinking about a .357, looking at full size S&W or Ruger. The show was packed. Couldn't hardly get to a table to look. After a couple hours I was looking at a small table run by an elderly couple. They...

Just finished upgrading the sights on my 45 Colt Rossi Puma '92. 20" octagonal barrel. Put on a Marble's tang sight, taller front gold bead sight and fold down rear sight. The front sight and tang sight went on easy. The rear sight was loose in the dovetail, which had been reported by other...

Fine Sunday in Western Oregon. 42 degrees, overcast and misty at 9AM. At the range before 10. Working up some loads for my '92 Rossi Puma 45lc. Have some Beartooth Bullets in 340 and 300 gr. Also some cast bullets from a local guy in 250 gr. Loaded up some various H4227 loads, running 17.5 to...

Just got some bullets in from Beartooth. Put some loads together. Some are a bit hot. I have a Rossi Puma '92. Information I have is that this gun will take a pretty good load. Not sure if these loads really exceed the published data, because I got the 340 gr from an article, not from published...

I was looking for a place to put the displaced Simmons red dot, and this looked like the right idea. Of course the battery quit during the sight in and the feed ramp lip is so sharp it jammed on hollow points, but otherwise a good time at the range. I had a few other guns to keep me busy.

Ed Brown Executive Target slide came out pretty nice as well.

.45 Les Baer 1.5" PII The grips need refinished, so I put on some others for grins.

9mm Les Baer PII

Just loaded a couple hundred 9mm, 124 gr T&B (local caster) rn, 4.1 Universal, 1.1 OAL. My new Baer PII 9mm loves these and eats them like m&ms. Right at 100,000 loaded.

I had some Trailboss sitting around for over a year from an earlier idea that I was going to shoot a lot of 45LC. Looking at the Hodgdon reloading tables I decided to load some 45ACP. I had some Bear Creek 230 gr LRN on the shelf. Loaded them up to the max 4.5 gr over 1.25OAL. These shot well...

The gun arrived today from John at Proload. He was great to deal with. I had contacted him a few weeks ago to inquire about the availability of these. He said it was uncertain when the next ones would show up, 2 weeks to a couple months. He put my name on one. Called last week. It took a couple...

After our speed steel match today I was shooting some of my other pistols for a while. I shot the 226ST Stock for the match. One of the guys was showing me a Smith revolver and looking at my stuff. I had my P-01 there with the Hornady XTP rounds in it. He'd shot my Ed Brown exec target, 220 and...

Had a chance to go to the range yesterday. About 50 degrees. Took the Pact chrono along to see how some of my loads were doing. Shot three strings of 8 rounds each from the 5" and the 4.25" pistols. I have the info on some cute tables I set up in Word, but the information comes out here even...

I have a set of Crimson Trace laser grips on my SW1911PD. I screwed up and got some cleaning solvent in the lens. It really diffused the beam, made it soft and fuzzy. I emailed Crimson Trace and asked them what I needed to do to fix the problem. They said to mail it in and they would bring it...

Big Bill wrote I got the paste in the tube, and a can of chain spray. Lubed up My SA Black Stainless, Sig 220ST and Sig 226St Stock. Haven't got them to the range yet, maybe this weekend. Initial reaction is WOW. Trigger on the 1911 is incredible. Triggers on the Sigs improved. I didn't get...

Just got in 1,000 .45 SWC from Precision Bullets. The unusual thing about them is that they are free. I ordered 1,000 .45 230 gr RNFP, 1,000 9mm 125 gr FP and 1,000 .45 200 gf SWC. I got a confirmation of the order, and was told that the 200 gr were back ordered due to an equipment breakdown...

I went out this morning and shot a nice 3 point blacktail buck. We only count one side w/o eye guards out here (western Or.) I bought a new .308 BAR Lightweight Stalker. Using 165 grain ballistic tips. First shot was a killer, but he bounced a couple times and I was unable to resist shooting...

Would you buy the 34 today? What are some pros and cons?

A friend of mine found himself in a bad situation resulting from some bad driving by the other guy and the mistake of my friend following the guy to point out the bad driving . He was confronted in his car by four other guys, and unpleasantries were exchanged. As the other guys were leaving, my...

I was having a problem with the front sight floating on my new HP. Had a local gunsmith try roughing up the sight and base as suggested on the Browning forum. Then had the dealer tell me to get it drilled and pinned. I heard to send it back to Browning. I sent it back. I discovered that UPS in...
