I just got a Ruger American "Go Wild" which is essentially an American Predator with a pimpy finish. It comes with a 3 round "AI Style" magazine. I think the Ruger Precision Rifle and Gunsite Scout use the same magazines, but it isn't entirely clear, because I believe the Gunsite Scouts...

Anyone figured out a way of permanently marking brass? I load for a couple of Enfield rifles in .303 British, and have a pretty good supply of cases, all of which have the same headstamp (PPU). I neck size, so I would like to come up with a way to permanently mark half of the cases so I can...

I have a Hornady 6.5mm neck size die that can be used for any 6.5mm cartridge, the body is pretty short, and the case body isn't a factor. This one: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/275521/hornady-custom-grade-new-dimension-neck-sizer-die-65mm For some reason, Midway lists it as for .260 Rem...

Haven't seen this come up here I don't think, but this is a pretty cool web site devoted to old military pistols and rifles. They have lots of detailed photos, and some animations on how some of the old guns worked, and now just started a YouTube channel, initially focusing on WW1 firearms. I...

I have some 7X57 brass left over from a rifle I sold. Anyone ever necked 7X57 up to shoot in an 8mm Mauser? I was thinking running a .30-06 expander stem through it once, to do an intermediate step, then full length sizing with an 8X57 die. Is there enough material in the neck for this to...

Does anyone make a quality replacement barrel for 500 series Remington .22 rifles? I have a old Remington 511 that I am not satisfied with the accuracy. It also shoots curveballs, as I had to drift both the front and rear sights about 1/8" each to get it to shoot point of aim. The stock...

Just got a 7X57 VZ24, and was really happy with the condition until I took it out of the stock: The worst pit is the second photo above, about 7" back from the muzzle, and while it is not easy to measure, at its deepest point it seems to be about .75mm, maybe a little less. At that point...

I have a .32 Colt Police Positive that was my grandfathers, which has a timing problem. When you cock the hammer, the cylinder does not revolve all the way in to position. This is the position of the cylinder with the hammer cocked: If I rotate the cylinder manually, it clicks in to...

Federal Gold Medal large rifle match primers (210M) are still impossible to find, and I am almost out. Can the standard Federal Large Rifle (210) primers be substituted without having to work up new loads? Or, does anyone know of a vendor with Fed 210M in stock? Thanks,

Getting ready to do some loading for my new (to me anyway) Lee Enfield #5, and looking at the sources I have available for the suitable powders I have on hand I am getting conflicting data. I have the 50'th anniversary Sierra manual, two Hornady books, the 4th and 7th editions, plus the...

Friend of a friend getting out of shooting gave me a bunch of reloading stuff a few years back, including several pounds of powder and about 1500 primers. Anyone want to hazard a guess to how old these are? Yes, evidently he bought the IMR for $3.50 per pound, and the Hodgdon for $2.85...

I am getting the itch to add another rifle I don't need to my collection, but don't have a C&R FFL. The closest local gun shop, Irvington Arms in Fremont, used to have a decent inventory, but currently they only have a couple Arisakas. Big 5 sporting goods usually has one or 2, but they seem...
