    >45 Colt Lead

    I saw a box of 250 255 gr rnd nose flat tip made by HSM out of Montana. It was 34.99 a box. Would I have any leading issues? I'll be doing a moderate load in a 7.5 and 4 5/8 length barrels in Blackhawks. Probably use AA #5. 11 gr or so.

    .45 ACP Hornady 230 XTP

    I just bought a box of 230 gr XTP to reload for my RIA. I can't seem to find any reload data for Accurate #5 for it. I'm wondering if I should just use the JHP data. Does anyone have data for this load? Thanks in advance. TJ

    7mm mag and Varget

    I'm seriously thinking about loading up 120 gr sierra spitzer over 54 gr of Varget in a Rem 700. I've been noticing that the slower burning 4831 powder is recommended for the 7 mag. by many. Am I just wasting my time with this load or is it worth a try in anyone's opinion.

    Varget powder

    I'm new to reloading. I'm reloading .243, 7mm Rem Mag, and .22-250. I chose Varget because it seemed to have decent velocity and would work on all 3 rounds. I would like to know if anyone has had good or bad experiences with this powder. It seems a bit like long kernals (for lack of a...

    Cartridges for hunting and home defense

    I just bought a new Ruger BH .45 Colt. I was wondering what a good hunting/bear defense round would be. A buddy of mine told me to always use jacketed bullets, he said that it would be easier to clean. My wife and I also have J-frame .38's by the bed, along with a 12 gauge 870. I was...

    I'm going to buy a new .45 LC BH in a couple weeks. I am looking for a leather crossdraw holster for under 50.00. I found a Hunter at midway that I may get for 35.00 or so. If anyone has any suggestions for a holster I would appreciate it. I was thinking about using a Food Saver to vacuum...

    If you HAD to use a .243 for Elk what round would you use. It would have to be a store bought cartridge.

    Military .45

    Got the new American Rifleman the other day. What do you guys think the next .45 military pistol will win. I have heard the 1911 is out of the competition. I'm in the market for a sidearm. Thanks.

    Pricing a 700 ADL

    I have a guy that wants to sell me a 700 ADL. It's a older version I think. The bolt will not operate with the safety on. It's 7MM Mag and he wants 400.00 for it. Here's the kicker. He told me it was new and never fired. When I asked him if I could look at it I noticed that it had a 6x...
