    Hey guys, Reloading for my Ruger .44 carbine (the original). I am using H-110 and a 200 gr. Jacketed bullet. Hodgson says 27.5 is minimum but I was considering using only 24 grs.for reasons relating to my Lee auto powder dumper. Call me lazy but I hate to go back and forth between my real...

    Stock replacement for an Anschutz 1720

    I have an Anschutz model 1720 that I want to restock with a nice stick of wood that I obtained recently. The walnut on my Annie is quite plain and I think it deserves better. I am looking for recommendations for a high quality stock maker that can take my exhibition grade blank and turn it into...

    .45acp misfires in Ruger Convertible

    I recently purchased a Ruger Blackhawk .45 Convertible revolver. I prefer the .45 acp cartridge to the .45 Colt. I reload for all my .45 pistols and revolvers and have been doing so for years. I loaded some 200gr. LSWC bullets over 5.0 grains of Bullseye and took my new gun to the range. I also...

    CZ75b sight removal

    I want to change the fixed sights on my CZ75b from fixed to adjustable and have purchased a nice set of adjustables. Now the problem is getting the old fixed sights off. Is there a pin or something holding the sights on? I have done a little firm tapping with brass punch and hammer but nothing...

    Browning vs. CZ

    I am selling my Ruger M-77 RSI in .243 for something with a longer barrel to get more velocity out of this cartridge. I have been contemplating either a Browning X-Bolt White Gold or a CZ 550 American. Both have different features that are attractive. The Browning is stainless with a 22" barrel...

    using .17 hornet cases to form .17 Ackley hornet

    I have used standard .22 Hornet cases to form my .17 Ackley Hornet cases but saw where Hornady has available .17 Hornet cases. Are these just simply necked down Hornets and ready to be fire-formed to Ackley dimensions or am I missing something? It would simplify the process of making cases if...

    Remington 7600 trigger

    I have a new Remington 7600 that I like real well for hunting in my neck of the woods except for the trigger. I has absolutely the worst trigger I have experienced since my old Daisy bb-gun. It must be over 10lbs and rough as a cob. Does anyone have any suggestions on either a home improvement...

    .17/223 Wildcat

    I am considering the purchase of an H&R/Sako .17/223 but have some questions for the experts. Do you simply neck down a .223 Remington brass case using a .17/223 Wildcat sizing die and proceed normally or do you have to trim and go thru other steps to reach a reloadable case. I would appreciate...

    Does Cooper 57m use Savage mags.

    I heard that mags for the Savage 65m will work in a Cooper 57m in .17hmr. Does anyone know whether there is any truth in this. It sure would make acquiring extra mags easy. That would be great. Cooper mags are scarce as the proverbial hen's teeth.

    mounting a 50mm scope on a Cooper

    I just got a new Cooper rifle that came with a Leupold base and I was looking at a Nikon that has a 50mm front bell. What height rings do I need for that scope, the mediums or the high? I would appreciate any help you can give. I hate to order the wrong thing and have to send them back for the...

    .35 Whelen problems

    I have been using 30-06 cases that I have opened up to .358 using my RCBS full length sizing die for my .35 Whelen. I have no problems with boattail bullets seating properly but flat base bullets tend to wrinkle the brass at the neck and destroy the case. Does anyone have any recommendations for...

    Scoping a Remington 750 in .35 Whelen

    I just acquired a Remingon Model 750 chambered for the .35 Whelen. I have always been interested in gettin something in that chambering and finally made the leap. I live in Louisiana and there is not much call for a really long range rifle and I like the looks of the Model 750. I will probably...

    Scoping my Savage 99

    I have a Savage 99 .308 that I am having some difficulty scoping. I have a Burris 2x7 scope that seems like it ought to be a good match for the rifle but with the 2 piece bases and rings that I have, I cannot move the scope far enough back to get the proper eye relief. Some type of extension to...

    Looking for a hog gun.

    I have been thinking of getting a dedicated hog gun as my property is being overrun with the critters. My place is in E. Texas and the whole state is overtaken with pigs. I would like to have a fast handling gun in a caliber that would stop a large hog fast with a decent hit in the vitals. I...

    I am looking at a possible purchase of a Model 625 from the Performance Center. I don't care for the red,white, and blue grips shape and size. Can anyone verify that it is the round butt N-frame on that revolver? Thanks for your help.

    Beretta CX4 .45 extended mags

    Did anyone ever get around to making high capacity mags for the Beretta CX4. I have one and think that the 8 round mags are just plain stupid. I am going to dump this thing if I can't find larger capacity mags. I guess I should have got a 9mm, they have mags for those.

    I just purchase a Browning A-Bolt in .22 long rifle for $649.00. It is a real pretty rifle and seems to be in great shape. Did I pay too much?

    Do the grips for the Browning Hi-Power fit the CZ75B, they look very much the same and was just wondering. Some grip providers offer Browning grips but do not list CZ.
