Hello guys, I have in my possession a Savage Model 99 in 243win that belonged to my late father-in-law. It has Serial# 007816 and all I can find is "This is a Savage 1895 made 1896 - 1897" on one of the serial # search sites. My question is, if the date of manufacture is truly before the turn...

Just finished sorting 9mm, 380 and 38 Super brass. About 300 9mm, 200 38 Super and about 100 380 mixed in.. Talk about an eye workout! I pass it under a magnification light to easier see the head stamp, but still takes some time. Most of the 38 super brass was nickel so that made it a bit...

So it all started with my grandfather who was a barber by trade and a part-time gunsmith in his spare time. He built several "special" custom rifles that were to be handed down to each of his grandsons in memory of him. The rifle that I received was this nicely done 30 carbine that he had...

OK, so I have had this happen with 2 different cartridges now when I use the universal decapping die and I don't resize.. I could see it happening with bottle necked cartridges but these 2 were straight wall. In reloading my 45/70 and most recently my 357 Max. What I have done thus far is to...

Went to a couple of local places today looking for supplies. I was looking for some Varget and SM and LG rifle primers. Gander Mtn. had no Varget and their primers were $4.99 per 100. I passed and decided to head over to the local mom and pop shops. They too were out of Varget and have been...

I am looking for a decent rifle for my kid and I think for the type of hunting that we do in the terrain we hunt I think a break action single shot 454 Casull would be just right. I gues my question is, who makes one???? I have found a couple made in 45 long colt but I figured if I could fine...

I am in the process of reloading some of the Lee 12 Ga. slugs that I just cast, and I have started with Blue Dot as it was one of the listed powders in the load data that came with the mould. I have heard on this forum that Blue Dot does not perform very well when the temperature drops below 30...

Just wondering if anyone knew first of all if it was possible to buy the Accu-Trigger assembly right from Savage or anyone else? And, would it drop into my older Savage 110 (circa 1990), Long action (7mm Rem Mag)? I tried a gun with this trigger and really liked it. What do you think of this...

So I didn't get everything I wanted for Christmas, so I jumped on Midway's site and ordered up a progressive press and a few other items the day after Christmas (Tues 12/26). There were a couple of accessories I wanted with the press that were out of stock, so I went to another well known mail...

I am looking at having a custom barrel done for my Encore rifle in 284 Win. Looks like I will have choices of barrel lengths from 16 inches on up. For carrying and fast handling, of course I would favor the shorter barrels. My question is, is there an optimum length that this cartridge works...

Just wondering if anyone has tried the NRA Shooting Sports Games? I see it is in Cabelas new shooting catalog for $25. Looks like there is High Power Competition, Xtreme Accuracy Shooting (with handloading variables and wind doping), and Varmint Hunting. Looks cool to me! Just wondering if...

I picked up some Sierra 100 Grain HP's and I am having difficulty finding load data for them in my 7mm Rem Mag. The purpose of this ammo will be for general purpose dispatching of varmint nusance animals and possibly some coyote hunting:eek: . Id like to get them up around 3500-4000 fps if...

I have a brand new stainless Winchester model 70 7mm Rem Mag that I have never done anything with. I have nothing into the gun, because I won it in a drawing. My dad is bound and determined to get me to make it into a "Mountain Carbine" as he puts it having the barrel cut down. I think that...

This is the very gun that got me into reloading. It was handed down from my grandfather who was a partime hobby gunsmith. What he did was sporterize this carbine with a nice Bishop Mannlicher stock and he rebarreled it necking it down to 25 caliber and added a nice 4x Weaver scope to it. It...

Hey guys, I'm sure that this is not the first time you have heard this question. But, what is the best reload for the 38 special when it comes to target shooting? Here are my conditions: My gun is a Titanium Taurus 6" revolver :) I have 146 grain, 158 grain, and 163 grain lead lubed SWC cast...

Jumping around the forum here, and reading lots of books I have found some conflicts on information reguarding the most lethal hunting loads for the 357 Magnum. Most say that the 158 grain is the best and the data I see would say otherwise. It looks to me that the 125 grain bullets will...

HELP! Reloading For a 357 Mag Titanium Tracker Revolver HELP! Little help here guys. I bought my first revolver and I have some questions as I am seeing some things that may or may not be good. The revolver is a Taurus Titanium Tracker 7 shot 357 magnum revolver. The hottest loads I have...
