My wife has taken over a Ruger #1 chambered in .22 Hornet that I inherited. Gorgeous rifle but the butt stock is way too long for a 5’3” woman. How best to remedy this? Best would be 2 stocks, one for my wife and the other, the original factory stock. I found a butt stock on eBay that...

Are there enough incremental improvements by Ruger in their Minis to keep them competitive with AR platforms, whether chambered in 5.56 or 7.62x39 or 300 Blackout ? This video tries to answer that question. I do not own one but have come close many times to pulling the trigger (pun intended)...

I know there's a lot to unpack with this question BUT how does Savage's offering in this class (1911s) compare with Colt's? From S&W's? From Ruger's ?

Apparently the famous “plough handles” of the Colt SAA are an exact copy of the 1851 Navy Colt handle. As a matter of fact, the SAA handle is the 1851 Navy Colt handle! Colt Single Action army. Colt 51 navy grip swap

The chamber spec is the bottom diagram and shows a .314" diameter throat.

I just purchased a new .327 LCR and was measuring the chamber throats. I first noticed that with all but one chamber I could drop my XTP bullets straight thru. So I measured the throats and got .3105”, .3140”, .3125”, .3130”, .3115”, .3140”. Those numbers aren’t anything I would think are...

What’s a good +P recipe for a 45 ACP with a 230 gr FMJ bullet on top using Hodgdon's Universal?

Zeke, cool your jets dude. Lighten up. "I'm from Missouri, show me!" is an expression. I'm not really from Missouri. And no, I don't know what this damage looks like, that's why I asked someone to show me. This is the forcing cone for my .32 Blackhawk: It looks the same as my .30 Carbine...

I've read some things about Lil'Gun being "hard on your forcing cone"? What's up with this? Is it any "harder on your forcing cone" than H110?

I'm thinking of 32 H&R / 327 Federal and 38 Spl / 357 Mag rounds for snubbies. As for particular snubbies, I'm focused on Ruger's LCRs.

What’s the word on Matt’s Bullets? Good stuff? Trying the find out what the BHN is for their .32 cal 100 gr WC bullets?

Have any of you guys had dealings with these guys? They have both Hodgdon’s Lil’Gun and large pistol primers that I need but with one restriction: $150 minimum purchases.

I reload a lot for my .30 Carbine hogleg (Ruger Blackhawk). I’ve always used a .308” diameter bullets but I thought I’d try a .309” diameter bullet this time. So I ordered a batch of .309” diameter bullets from Montana Bullet Works. When I got my .309” diameter bullets, I tried pushing them...

I saw this episode of the Lucky Gunner and it really made me consider something I hadn’t considered before: getting a 32 cal wheelgun. Why the Best Snub Nose Caliber is .32 I saw this video after BOTH Brownell’s “GunSmyth” recommended it and likewise for Ken Hackathorn. Is there a renewed...

Are there any peculiarities to reloading the 22 Hornet? I noticed this on Brownell’s website for RCBS’s Hornet die set: This brass doesn’t suffer from thin case mouths like the 44-40, 38-40, 32-20, etc?

Does Ruger’s Mini-30’s problem with Russian steel case ammo really have anything to do with the steel case or (more likely) is it a problem with Berdan primers?

I need a sizing die that resizes the full length of the 357 Magnum case. Currently I’m using Lyman dies but they’re not full length sizing. Redding has a “dual ring” size die, not sure about that? Recommendations?

Ruger bought Marlin. Personally I think this is the best possible outcome for Marlin. Ruger is well managed by people who understand guns and the American gun culture. And, just as importantly, Ruger is a company with the assets to right the Marlin ship. Marlin’s market cap is ~$1.3 billion...

I’m looking for a good charge for the 38 Short Colt using Unique. I’ve listened to FortuneCookie45LC’s series on loads for the 38 Short Colt. I’ve read different recipes on different forums but none that used Unique, which honestly is surprising. What seems like a good starting point Is 4-1/2...
