So I live in NJ. I could not get the local police to take my fingerprints, they said the state won’t let them do it for a gun related activity. I want a carry permit. So I hopped on a plane and flew to Florida to apply for a Florida carry permit. Everything went well I thought, I was only in the...

How much tolerance do you allow yourself when weighing powder? As an example, if you are going to use 20g of powder, do you accept only exactly 20 grains or will you settle for 20.1 or 20.2 or maybe 19.8 or 9? I'm using some 50g SPBTs with 22.0g of H322 and 62g SFPBTs with 20.5g of H322. I have...

I'm reloading for my Ruger M77 357. I will be shooting in a 100 yd match and I'd like to know just how accurate I need to be with my powder. Will 1 or 2 tenths of a grain of H110 make much of a difference. I'm loading 16g into 158g XTP's. Thanks,

To clean my 77-357 Rotary Mag. I've tried a Q tip and CLP but I can't get the Q tip in all over. I would rather not take it apart since I have heard that adjusting the spring can be iffy. So I have been thinking about soaking it in mineral spirits. Is this a good idea or will I hurt the...

Has anybody installed a Volquartsen Trigger Mod on a Ruger 77-357 carbine? If so is it worthwhile? Thanks

I want to start using my 357 carbine for match shooting. I have learned that my home made bullets are not accurate enough for this application. So what commercial bullets are best. I tried some LRN from Armscor but they too are not accurate enough. The best I could do at 100 yds with the...

At the range yesterday my reloaded rounds were doing well and grouping on the 25 yard range so while zeroing my Ruger 77-357 carbine, I moved to the 50yd range. I had saved my best ammo for a match, so the ammo that I was using was distorted, in other words, it was ugly ammo. It was the same...

I have only used handgun loads of Unique in my 357's for my Ruger 77-357 rifle. Should I be using rifle powder like h110 or some other powder? Any and all suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.;) I'm editing after 44 AMP's reply, maybe someone can suggest a powder or tell me which they use...

My Ruger 77-357 came with a bead sight. The first day at the range it disappeared due to the sun. This is my first rifle so I immediately changed it to a blade like my pistols. The blade is good except that it is big and at 100 yards it is to big for the target. Now I'm thinking about a...

I am not a hunter, so let's get that out of the way. I know pistols and a little about rifles and I have never hunted. We live in NJ and my 19 year old grandson wants to buy a used shot gun for hunting here. I asked him if he will buy a slug gun and he said no because he may want to use it as...

If a red dot sight has only a red dot and no reticle, how would you aim it. Do you use the front sight? With just a dot, do you try to put the dot and the target in the center? That does not sound too cool. So how does it work?

I am really a pistol guy, the Ruger 77-357 is my first rifle. I have had it to the range twice now. As a result of the bright sun, I could not zero it since I could not always see the bead front sight, when I could see it, It, it became a blur. Yesterday, I tried again. Even with a mostly cloudy...

What powder do you use for your 357 hunting bullets. And, what bullets do you use, my preference is LSW but I know that many will prefer a different head. I have just purchased a Ruger 357 bolt action rifle. Thanks,

Hi, I have never hunted but I'm getting interested now. Maybe a little late, I'm 76. I am looking at getting a rifle and since I reload 38/357's I would like to use a 357 rifle. It would be nice to be able to use the ammo that I've been loading for years. So does anyone have experience with...

Has anyone done a trigger job on their GP100. Mine is a 4" SS gun. I fire about 100 rounds a week mostly double action. I'm not sure that I need one so how do I tell if it will help. I've seen a few videos on it and I think that I can do it during a winter snow storm. If you've done it I'd like...

I can't believe I did it. My mold was a little sticky and the boolets just would not drop. So with a needle nose pliers I started tapping them out. Actually, tapping would have been OK but I started scraping them out. So now I have a mold that is deeply scored. Yeh, I know I wasn't supposed...

Hodgdon indicates that 2.3 gr. of Trail Boss is the max. for 38 spec 148 LWC. I know that you are never supposed to go over the max. I fired 100 rounds of it today and even though I do not like hand gun kick, this has no feel at all. There is very little smoke which is great so there is...

Has anyone put a light on the Lee Classic Turret press? I really would like to see onto the shell to ensure that it is charged. I put a battery operated bore light on mine, but I would like one without batteries. I'd like one that I can plug in and forget. I'm listening to all ideas and...

Just one time I cleaned the front of my stainless GP100 cylinder. I used a buffing wheel on my dremel. It came beautiful. I just don't know if it is something that I should do regularly. Any body else?
