Assuming I can find the brass and shell holders, is it possible to load the 45 Auto Rim case using 45 acp dies, making height adjustments as necessary? And no, I'm not going to buy moon clips or 1/2 moon clips and just use 45acp ammo. Thanks.

I could not get onto Calguns.net, so I came here. I got stuck in the sand out in the Mojave desert today while sniffing out a place to plink with my new Beretta. I had to hike about 4 miles or so out of a canyon to get a weak cell signal. In 1 hand I carried a water bottle and in the other...

I just got a new Baretta 92FS. My trigger gauge says the double action pull weight needs 2 freight train locomotives to pull the trigger. I ordered a new spring and steel trigger from Baretta. I noticed on You tube that changing it out is simple and that the only difference I could perceive...

I received a 30-06 rifle that was cobbled together by a reputable gunsmith from what looks to be modern parts and built on a Remington 1903A3 action. It has a Redfield peep sight on the rear. I saw an identical one on the net labeled "Redfield vintage model 80". The right side has elevation...

I never really thought about it over the years, but why do some brands of pistol brass have a tiny "engraved" dotted ring around the case roughly 1/4" down from the mouth?

Is there anything bad about using a little 5-20 Valvoline conventional oil to clean out a bore in addition to Hoppe's 9???

A place that sells stripper clips, that is. Specifically for a Remington 1903A3 rifle. I tried a search of the forums here but came up empty. Anybody have any ideas???

seating bullets into a 30-06 case. Can it be done??? or is there not enough room in the die? I know I need the FL sizing die.

I use WLP's in my 44's, so special or magnum loads get the same primer. But now I'm loading what will probably amount to 38+p's, somewhere 1/2 way between 38 special max loads and the mildest 357 load. The gun is a 357 revolver. The brass is 357. The bullet will be a 158 LSWC. I have not...

I bought a new (to me) S&W 629-5. Took it to the range and set the target out at 20 (twenty) yards. Shooting from a pistol rest, I loaded my own 240grain LSWC's in magnum cases to get a 44 special load running at 900fps. After tweaking the sight it shoots straight as a laser at that range...

Is there any problem or advantage with using a 45acp bronze brush to clean a 44cal bbl and/or cylinder??? Or a 40 to clean a 357 or a 9mm???

Is there any problem with using magnum brass in a magnum revolver to create a load (with a given bullet) that essentially bridges the gap between the the 44 special high end loads and the 44 magnum starting loads??? I have not seen any reloading data for a 44spl +P. I have heard it is safe to...

Iv'e been out of the gun scene for a while now. I'm thinking of buying some version or variation of the Smith and Wesson model 29 or 629. The last bit of news I heard was that S&W was manufacturing their handguns overseas in Turkey. Can someone please bring me up to date on S&W and the...

I friend asked me if I wanted this, a 20 mm round. I wasn't sure if I did or not as I did not serve in the military. It has a brass case, and a blue projectile with a silver toned point. The projectile can spin while on the case but does not seem to want to unscrew. The markings on it are as...

I have a very good B&L spotting scope that zooms from 15-45x. It performs very well out to 300yds. on a warm day at the range. Beyond 300yds. there is too much heat mirage to see any 308 holes. However, on a cool, (cold) clear, windless, sunny day I can see out to 400yds pretty good. The...

I'm thinking of getting some sort of small, wireless, battery powered, CCTV and monitor set to use at the range. I could place the camera in front of or to the side of the target stand and protect it with a BFR, (a Big Frigging Rock). With a small 7" or so monitor I could see the target and...

I never gave it much thought. When I bought my 1st rifle, (bolt action), my faithful gun shop manager recommended a 1 piece scope base. Since then, I've always gotten a 1 piece mount whenever I got another rifle. But now I'm wondering if there is any real advantage or disadvantage to either...

I've been using an RCBS case trimmer 2 for close to 20 years. I recently bought a trimmer made by Redding that has a micrometer built into it thinking that this would help to make my cases more consistantly uniform in length. I load for 308, 25-06, 45-70, and have now started loading 223's. I...

I'm looking for some thoughts on what might be the best 223 caliber bullet weight for an AR with a 16" barrel, with a 1 in 9 twist. I have found loading bolt rifles that they tend to prefer bullets slightly heavier than the middle weight offered in a given caliber. So far, all I can find are...

My Service Six, (fixed sights), shoots to the left of the poa by about 4" at 10 to 20 yards. I thought it was me until a buddy shot it as a prelude to buying it. It shot to the left for him as well. Is there anything at all that can be done to correct the sights (or lack thereof)?
