My Ruger 77/22 is my Problem Child. I have fixed some issues with a washer between the 2-piece bolt. And now I've loaded up 10 different loads, using V-Max and Nosler. Question: How often do you clean in between shooting different loadings to test for accuracy? Thanks for any help.

I'm making some of my first rifle loads. I have some new Lapua 243 brass. Does it need to be neck sized before loading? Thanks

This stuff has been posted on before but not for a couple years. I was punching out primers and cleaning some 45 Schofield last night getting ready to do some reloading. I was having a real difficult time removing some primers and couldn't figure out the problem. Then I found a split case ...

I bought a new Ruger 77/22H (.22 Hornet). This is my first "modern" rifle; all mine are military surplus or pre-1960. The first thing I did was clean the metal with Eezox and put some boiled linseed oil on the stock. I went to grab it and go to the range the next day and it stuck to my hand...

Hello, I wrote earlier that I'm a nooby to shotguns and this question will prove that. I'm looking at remediating a shotgun range. I've worked on ranges that shot all calibers before but never a shotgun-only range. I don't know the guns so I ask: How far will typical lead shot fly? What...

Hello, I post on a lot of forums and can get around most rifles, pistols, and automatic weapons, but ... I have my first shotgun and I need some advice. My Father-in-Law just gave me a Marlin Model 42 in 12-guage. It's an old timer, with a 4-round magazine and a hammer. I feel like I was...

I received new grips for my East German Makarov from Dennis Marschal. I need to learn how to post the photo itself ...
