Anyone got any? Especially w/ chrono data. My buddy has one, and has only 30 yr. old load data. Any help appreciated.

OK, here's the story, I've been looking at a new rifle, the prime movivator being that we now have an overabundence of coyote on the area. I've looked at and like the Savages (with some drawbacks), was originally looking at a .22-250. HOWEVER, due to the fact that its relatively easy (with the...

OK, the only shotgun I own is a Mossberg 20" cylinder bore. Can't afford anything else, right now, and because its got the extended magazine, I can't buy another barrel for it. Now there is a pond on my neighbors property, so SOMETIMES the geese come in pretty low, right over my backyard/woods...

OK, I swear to God, that there are more crows per square mile around my house, than any other place on earth. They *&^%$%#%(* things woke me up AGAIN at 0 dark thirty this morning. Now, they used to occasionally land in the back of my lawn, and I zapped a couple with my .22 (@almost 100 yards...

I've been invited on a boar hunt. It's basically a "canned" hunt in a large area. I'm told most Boar will be 150-200 lbs. but there may be some larger (up to 400 lbs., rarely but possible). I've read some of the threads on how hard it is to kill these guys (sometimes) so I'd like an opinion on...

because of the abundance of cheap "parts kits" out there (and the fact that I'll probably never be able to afford any full auto guns, and could't in my current state of residence anyway) I was thinking it might still be kinda neat to have some "non-firing replicas" to hang on the wall, etc...

OK, since we are currently inundated with Coyotes in my area, I've set out on a quest for a good Coyote rifle...I've settled on a heavy barrelled Savage in .22-250 (in part because I could easily switch barrels, keeping my action/stock/scope the same)...I'm on a very strict budget, was looking...

Anyone got one of these yet? Thinking about buying one..Was gonna buy the "Ultra Varmint" in .223 (for coyote), then I saw this one...And the Fluted has a 1 in 9 twist which I want, for heavier bullets, while Ultra Varmint has 1 in 12...too slow for 69 or 70 grain bullets.

Been shooting as a 'guest' for a while now, at the range my buddy belongs to(Rifle and Pistol only)...But for my birthday, one of my best friends is getting me a membership to another range that's closer, and they also have a trap (and skeet) range. I USED to be really good at trap, although its...

I'm about enter into a battle with the town I live in, in reference to using my property, in any (Reasonable) way I see fit (I have 10 acres of land). I can't afford a lawyer, so I'm looking for help with cases where the restrictions of the use of a property have been unfairly, and...

First, let me state that I am on disability, and have a very limited budget. To save a few bucks (as well as try to work up most accurate loads for my rifles) I would like to start reloading. I've seen mixed opinions on the Lee reloading products, so I'd like some "first hand" experience and...

been kinda lusting after an AR-30 in .338 Lapua mag...strictly for target work (probably NOT any kind of competition) from 200 yrds, to as far as I can find a safe place to shoot. Just attracted to seeing what I can hit W-A-A-A-Y out there. However, a couple years ago I seperated my right...

About once a month we have a thread about dogs, dog "attacks" etc. (there's a couple out there, now) I always reply with a lengthy discourse about what and what not to do when confronted by a dog, or dogs. (I have 12 years experience with training dogs for Schutzhund Sport, and have worked with...

OK, I am embarking on another DIY Mauser project (Frankenmauser part deux)...And I wanna convert it to 8mm-06 AI...But I don't have barrel removal tools etc. (one of the reasons for caliber choice), so I wanna know if its possible to ream the chamber with the barrel attached to the action...

Old but still appropriate: 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, He Lived All Alone, In A One Bedroom House Made Of Plaster And Stone. I Had Come Down The Chimney With Presents To Give, And To See Just Who In This Home Did Live. I Looked All About, A Strange Sight I Did See, No Tinsel, No...

Any one working with this? What is COL? Could I build one off the VZ-24 Mauser action I've got laying around, or is it too long for the magazine without major hassles? Thanks for any info, in advance. The one reloading manual I have doesn't mention this cartridge.

Having trouble finding any reloading info for these puppies (strictly for use in a carbine), would appreciate any info someone could give me, haven't found any in reloading manuals. Also, seems I read somewhere that you need special brass for 'em. Who makes it and where can I get it?

I'll try to keep this brief, yet get all the pertinant facts in: As my first experiment in gunsmithing, I have sporterized a Turkish Mauser(known elswhere as "FrankenMauser"), as follows: 1) shortened military barrel (cleaning rod muzzle wear), recrowned with 11 degree target crown, still 27"...

WANTED-Recipe for 200 gr. 8x57 also 8mm-06 AI Any one have a favorite recipe for 200 gr. (specifically I wanna use Sierra MatchKings) for 8mm Mauser? Manual I have jumps from 185gr. to 225 gr. Also, considering rechambering one gun to 8mm-06 AI, so if any one has recipe for that (same bullet)...

After many years of shooting rifles and shotguns, I'm contemplating (finally) getting a handgun. I was almost set on a 1911, but I have a chance to pick up a near mint Beretta for reasonable(?) price-$400. Now, I've seen the 9mm and .45 issue beaten to death, and understand that the .45 has more...
