    What is the difference between .300 Savage and .303 Savage?

    Found a Savage lever in what is said to be .303 Savage. My reloading manuals show a .300 Savage, but not a .303. Price is good and it looks good. I reload but only pistol at the moment. If someone would explain to me what is going on here, this rifle may have a new home soon. Thanks in advance.

We have gotten no help at all from either Kimber or Glock, surprising since both have a very strong presence at the matches...

    National Bullet copperized bullets

    Anybody use them? Do they act like lead or plated similiar to Rainier's? Looking at .40/10mm 155gr SWC & 180gr TC and .45 230gr RN. At approx. $48/1000 for the .40's and $51/1000 for the .45's looks like something worth trying.

    As posted by Dane Burns on 1911Forum, http://www.1911forum.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/000755.html Since most of us in the gun business are independant folks we thought all of us could help out Brian's estate and his Mother, Martha Bilby, in particular. To that end, a customer of mine has donated a...

    Rebarrel S&W M28, second try.

    I tried to pull up the previuos post with no luck. Must be lost in cyberland. I have a S&W M28 with a 6in barrel. I want to cut the barrel down to 5in to be IDPA legal. This would include reattaching the front sight, recrown barrel, and refinish. Would it be better to try and find a 5in...
