    I'm reloading for my marlin 30-30 lever that I plan to use for hunting. I have Hornady 160 gr. leverevolution bullets and Hornady cases. I have been using IMR 4064 but really don't like the way the stick type powder flows from my rcbs measure. Any thoughts on a better powder? If it works with my...

    Good deal?

    A friend of mine decided to get rid of a few guns for some extra cash and I offered $250 for this Marlin 336 lever gun in 30-30. He allowed me to take the rifle out before I bought it and I am very pleased. It's an older rifle but in good condition. Action is smooth and stock has some dings but...

    hd shotty

    hd shotgun Good day gentlemen, Just a few questions from a newbie. I just bought my first gun recently, and the wife says it needs to be in a safe. But a "BIG" safe, one that a thief can't just walk out with. That means my little FNP 9mm will be oh soooo lonesome in that safe!!:rolleyes:;) So...

    rifle configurations???

    As I still consider myself in noob territory I'll go ahead and ask a simple question. What is the difference between pre-ban and post-ban configurations? Is one better than another? I'm looking to order my first ar soon and that's one of the few questions i have left.
