I have been reloading in earnest for a couple of years now. I have been reloading straight walled handgun cartridges (.44 mag/.44 sp, 45 Colt, 38/357, etc.) for my revolvers and carbine (Winchester lever action) with good results. I would like to start reloading rifle cartridges, starting with...

I was at my local range the other day shooting a Winchester lever action rifle. I was talking to a fellow next to me and he mentioned that one company (maybe Remington? he wasn't sure) had some tubular magazine that designed to allow the use of pointed bullets. It had some helical design or...

Hi All, I am buying a commercial bolt action rifle in .308 Win. I plan on reloading for my rifle, but I also plan on trying some commercial .308 Win factory loads. I've read that it is not recommended to fire a commercial .308 Win cartridge in a rifle chambered for 7.62x51 NATO. However I...

I have a Winchester 94 Trapper lever gun (16" barrel) in .44mag. I love this little gun and would like some recommendations on how to carry extra ammo for this gun. I once bought a nylon ammo sleeve that slipped over the wood stock for this gun, but I didn't like it. The sleeve would not stay...

Hi All, I have an over/under shotgun that I use for skeet. I'm interested in picking up a 20 gauge pump gun, and was wondering if a pump is OK for casual rounds of skeet. How is it shooting doubles with a pump gun? I am not a compeitive skeet shooter, mostly just a casual skeet shooter...

Hi All, Yesterday I had a chance to shoot my brand new Kahr K9. This is actually the 3rd Kahr K9 that I've owned. Several years ago (maybe around 2000 or 2001?) I had a brand new Kahr K9 that shot really well. I inexplicably traded it for some other gun, and I missed it ever since. Two years...

I reload .38 sp and .44 sp/ .44mag rounds for my revolvers. I currently only load for target/plinking practice, but was contemplating loading up some defensive loads. Does anyone on this board use handloaded defensive ammo or do you stick to using factory defensive ammo? If you do load...

Hi All, I have a 2" barrel S&W model 60. I currently use Hornady 158 gr JHP/XTP rounds as a defensive load, and handloaded 158gr semi wad cutter loads for target practice. I like the Hornady loads - they are really accurate/consistent and and they shoot point of aim for me and my gun...

Hi There, I have been reloading handgun rounds (.38 special and .44 special) for my revolvers. I would like to start reloading .223 Remington for a bolt gun in .223 with a 1 in 9" barrel twist. I have never reloaded for a rifle caliber cartridge yet and I had some questions. I have Lee Hand...

I'm looking to mount a scope on a Remington 700 rifle. I'm not sure what type of scope mount and rings to select. What are the advantages of the "tactical" style one-piece weaver or picatinny style scope bases over the more traditional two piece standard scope mounts? Are these mounting...

Hi All, I put a down payment on a Remington 700 in .223 this week. This will be my first centerfire bolt action rifle. I have never used scopes before, but I need to find some good optics for my new gun. I've looked through some Burris optics before and I was realy impressed with the clarity...

Any Remington SPS Tactical owners out there with the .223 caliber gun? If so, what's the twist rate on your gun - is it 1 in 9"? http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/premier_dealer_exclusives/model_700_SPS.asp Thanks!

Hi All, I am still in the market for a .223 Rem bolt action rifle (leaning towards a Remington 700, but still also considering a Savage 11 or 10 with the Accutrigger) and would like to put a variable power scope on it. I'm thinking about either the Leupold VX-II 2-7x33mm scope...

Hi all, I'm interested in getting a bolt action rifle in .223 Rem for middle range target shooting. Currently, I only have a 22LR rifle and a Ruger Mini 14 that I use for plinking at the 50 and 100 yard ranges at my club. However, I am interested in shooting at the longer ranges (200, 300...

Hi NH gun owners - I'm not sure if you got the NRA legislative alert regarding NH state senate bill #44, but this bill proposes changes to the current CCW legislation. The proposed bill, sponsored by Senator Peter Burling (D-5) and reps Lee Hammond (D-Grafton 11) and John Tholl (R- Coos 2)...

Hello, I recently bought a LLAMA .380 acp pistol. The gun is an older lock breeched pistol with the name "Stoeger (S. Hackensack, NJ)" on the frame near the serial number. The gun is like a mini 1911-style pistol and in pretty good shape. However, I'm looking for some spare parts on it: 1...
