I was wondering if anyone here can point me too a resource for handloading 12ga Sabot Slugs for accuracy. I've been wanting to start experimenting around to find the ideal load for my Deer gun, but internet searches come up with a lot of crap. This is a topic primed for experimentation that...

Need some help on how to take care of my M1 Garand's chamber that has rust in it now. Saw a program the other day interviewing a WW2 Medal of Honor recipient for his actions at Normandy. Other than his impressive story I noticed something he said about the Garand having a problem with getting...

This is an article I just read, here is the link: http://weeklystandard.com/blogs/epa-reviewing-request-ban-led-bullets Basically there is an environmentalist out there that is talking about banning lead bullets, you know, because so many environmental problems arise every hunting season.

My plan is using a "Lee Loader" hand tool. Not the press. I know it is a little unsophisticated, but its what I got. So far I see a challenge with getting the seatting depth spot on a consistent round to round since there doesn't seem to be anything to lock the part that adjusts that. I've...

Would the best loading manual publication to get then be those little 4"x8" paper books that look like they have photo copied pages from every company's loading manual, for each specific cartridge? I don't know what they are called specifically. But they always seem to have them in every gun...

I notice that a lot of load information will neglect specifics about the bullet. Such as it will say "185gr JHP" not a specific bullet type ".451" Sierra 185gr JHP #8800". It doesn't seem safe to me to assume all 185gr JHP bullets will give the same pressure given the same grains of powder...

I just got my 45apc brass polished through the tumbler and I looked at one I noticed a single little scratch, or dimple, about 1/4" down from the rim. It is barely noticeable, and I didn't see it until my brass had a high shine on it. I looks like a little dimple with a scratch in it, but I...

I keep seeing random old Browning A-5's around for sale. I saw one this past weekend for $550. Most of the bluing was worn off, and the wood was old and dinged up, but I didn't think it was ugly. If you know A-5's then you've seen a bunch just like this one. I've always wanted a Browning...

I am shooting a rifled barrel Rem 870, so when I shoot at the range I do with it supported on my hand with a sling around my arm, and rested on top of a rolled up coat, to get the most steady shot possible while testing ammo. Last time I shot it there was one instance that the action recoiled...

I took my Rem 870 to the range shooting sabots to try different ammo I have built up, and I got some fouling I never noticed before, and I'm not sure where it is from or what is is doing to my groupings. It was cut short when I noticed excess fouling that looked like little granules all down...

This Winter I might be able to go deer hunting a second time actually, however the muzzle loader rifle I was going to buy for it ran out of funds in the past few months. I go regularly during shotgun here, the only other options I have to hunt are bow and muzzle loader. I can't hit a barn at...

I was thinking of getting the rifled barrel of my 870 pinned to the receiver for increased accuracy/consistency. I've read how this is the first step twoard serriously making your rifled sabot gun more accurate. Not sure how much it costs, or how much re-sight-in work I will need to do. 12ga...

I had a near sticky situation tonight that I thought I would post about on here. I had left my weapon at home. I was in a hurry and just forgot to grab the case. I wasn't planning on going anywhere shady, so I was not so worried about it. I was going to meet the girlfriend after she got off...

I don't normally post about indesicion about what firearm purchase to make, but right now I am really having trouble deciding. I have $400 off pretty much any firearm I choose to get, not an option that comes along that often. I have essentially 3 choices in mind right now. I know how these...

I saw this and just had to post it here. After personal experiences and now this video... I WILL NEVER BUY A TAURUS. Nor will I let a friend buy one if I can help it. I don't care if there are 50% of you out there that love your Taurus...

I am looking for a carry pistol, I am thinking it over between a few. I was in a gunshop and overheard the "owner" talking about the sub compact 1911 being totally unreliable for defense, and that the 1911 was not made to operate with a short system like the carry versions. I can see his...

I know this is more civil rights related, I just thought I would post it under the most active forum section, and where I usually post about CCW comments and questions. Personally I don't think this has a chance in hell of making it through Obama World. What do you all think?

I've been looking on Colts websight and I've noticed a word that I would think should not be there. "Replica" So far I've noticed it on the WWI "Replica", and the Series 70 is described as a "Replica" of the Government Model. The word has me curious why they use it. I would think a Colt IS...

I found this vid on Youtube and thought it was interresting. I'm curious what people here think of it, and what the legal ramifications from this situation might be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AA_dgRdDhk I was thinking the good guy might be in trouble. Most places Would probably fire...

I have a specific question for those who shoot 55gr 223 in a 1/8 twist barrel, the configuration I want to get my upper in. Does the performance really suffer with the lighter bullets in a 1/8" twist? The main ammo at stores locally is 55gr, ideally the best twist rate would be 1/14" or the...
