    a Reminder of the actualy laws and precidents

    Norton vs. Shelby County 118 US 425, page 442 held: "An unconstitutional act is not law; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed." “No state shall convert a liberty into a license, and...

    New AR in 308

    Ok, I have a question for all the 308 Gas Gun shooters reading this. I just build myself an AR10ish rifle with a 13" long gas tube, 20" light weight barrel, and it's been superbly reliable so far. BUT...... I am having a hell of a time getting it to shoot a small group with the bullets I'd like...

    Ammo for Rem M81

    Hello to all. I just got a Remington M81 in 300 savage. I use 39 gr or 4064 and 150 grain bullets. Accuracy is quite good. I used 40.2 in my M99 and primers remain round and extraction is effortless. The 39 grain load is not hot at all. But I have found that if I use the load with clean cases...

    6.5X55 Swede loads?

    Hello to all. I am doing a little compilation of data and I would like to ask any 6.5X55 shooters (only) to give me the load or loads they have had the best accuracy from. Please also include what barrel and twist it was shot through, as best you can tell me, or recall. Thanks. :)

    Need 1 sized 11MM Murata shell

    Hello to all. I have a project I am trying to complete, but I need a shell. I want to make one cartridge for an old 1MM Murata and I need to fire-form a shell so I can get expanded dimensions of this chamber to make a set of dies from. I can cast it too, but I like to have both the fire-formed...

    125 gr 30 cal bullets

    Well I just came into about 1,300 125 grain 30 caliber bullets in a trade. I have some Sierras, some Remington Core-Lokts and some Nosler BT "hunting". In all my years of hand-loading and shooting, I have never used a 125 grain in any of my 30 cal rifles. I have some 308s, some 30-06s and one...

    Antelope down

    Well my wife filled her Antelope tag this morning at about 9:00. Nice buck with wide horns. She used the 30-06 Mauser I made for her and the shot was from prone at about 250 yards. As perfect as it could be placed, and the 165 gr Hornady innerlock drooped the buck nicely. I'll post some pics...

    Simple old style slings?

    Remember back in the 60s and 70s when you got a rifle from Sears or even Winchester, many of them came with a very simple sling strap? Those slings were just a long piece of 1" wide leather and has a loop on one end, close by a few sex screws, and they came back on the strap with a double loop...

    American made 9.3 MM barrels

    Hello to all. I have been in correspondence with Green Mountain Barrel Co concerning them making some .366" barrel blanks with 1-10" or 1-11" twist. We are just at the "talking stage" right now, but I am hoping this will go forward. The 9.3X62 cartridge is an excellent hunting round that is...

    well now, lookie here

    Well, it's about time! I think these tow Rugers are going to sell like cold drinks in the desert. A Super Blackhawk in 480 and in 454. Cool! The Freedom revolvers are supurbe but out of the reach of many shooters. Ruger makes a very good gun and it should be priced at about 1/2 of Freedom's...
