Gentlemen, I often hear that the 629 "isn't very strong" or "will shoot loose easily". Is that true? Mine is 2 years old, and I usually shoot moderate loads of a 240 gr. Lazer-cast or XTP over 10.0 gr. Unique. I only occasionally shoot max loads for hunting. What kind of lifespan can I...

Gentlemen, I picked up a beautiful M99A today in .250-3000 Savage, the only problem being the previous owner shortened the barrel to 17.5" for his son. I would like to pick up a replacement barrel that is the original length. Where do I find one? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in...

Gentlemen, I am looking at getting a .45 Auto. I have always been a revolver fan, but decided I needed something a little more compact than my S&W 629 for carry use. I am leaning towards a government model, possibly a Griffon Combat Commander. I know Kimbers are great, but they are also very...

Gentlemen, I just got some IMR 7828, and have worked up a few loads for my 7mm Rem Mag. The velocity seems much higher than Reloader 22, when compared to published velocites. What loads have you used successfully with this powder? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot...!! Joel...

Gentlemen, I finally found a load that achieved my goal of 3000 fps with the 175 gr. Nosler partition that didn't show any signs of excess pressure. I won't tell you the weight of the charge, since it's above (barely) the book max, but the powder was IMR-7828. Accuracy was good as well, right...

Gentlemen, I was just wondering if any of the regulars here have or use .303 British rifles? I have a No.I MkIII* that I just love. I have shortened the barrel to 21", added a simmons 1.5-5x scope, re-stocked it, and installed a 5-rd magazine. It is the rifle that rides in my truck, and has...

Gentlemen, Does anyone here have any experience with the AK47's you see advertised in Shotgun News and elsewhere that are made with enough US parts to be exempt from BATF import regulations? Are they any good? How do they compare to most of the imported ones you see at gun shows? Thanks in...

Gentlemen, I have a S&W 629 with the 4" barrel. It is my bear gun I carry while at work. Generally I stoke it with hot loads of H110, but I also like to shoot it just for fun. Lately I have been using 10.0 gr. Unique under a 240 gr. lazer-cast with large pistol primers. It is fun, but...

Gentlemen, I know a lot of you have experience with the 7.62x39. I have an SKS, and I love the rifle. I have killed a number of deer with it. I am curious about the other rifles out there in this caliber. I know the Mini 30 is a good rifle. What about the Ruger M77 MkII. I have a Ruger...

Gentlemen, What are your favorite handloads for the .303 British? Do you neck size or full length size? I haven't had good accuracy with the Speer 180 gr. I do like the 123 gr. Hornady over 49.8 gr. Reloader 15. What loads have you tried with the 174 gr. Hornady Interlock? I have always...

Gentlemen, What is your favorite animal to hunt? Mine is the kudu. They are incredible to stalk, as they seem to just disappear. I guess that is why they are called the gray ghosts of Africa. Around here, I love to hunt mule deer in eastern Oregon. I think it is the tradition, since I hunt...
