I recently aqquired several hundred older (1980's) Hornady 60 gr. Spire Point bullets in a trade. These are the ones with the cannelure in them although I wont be seating them that short. I am looking to try them in my Tikka T3 Lite which has a 1 in 8 twist. I am looking for those of you who may...

My shooting buddy on a whim just bought one of these hand cannons from the S&W perfomance center and nearly had a heart attack when he went to buy ammo and it was nearly $40 for a 20 round box. This has a 14" barrel with an interchangeable ported compensator feature. If any of you load for this...

OK,,, So I have been casting for a couple of years now starting out loading for my pistols and not that long ago started to cast for a couple of rifles and am getting some fair results for accuracy at less than stellar performance. My quest is taking me into improving ballistic performance...

Guys, I have a couple of moulds that smudging them with a match just aint enough. I am spending far too much time rapping on the mould to get the boolits to drop and this is getting hard on the handles too. They drop nice casts but should be able to fix this. Is lapping the answer and if so who...

Hey All ,,, Ran accross a very informative article on this subject you should put on your "must read" list if you are serious about casting and like the thought of getting it right the first time whenever possible. It has me going back to the bench for sure,,, dont have a web address but google...

I just recently put together my 10/22 project using a new action, a Magnum Research stainless lined carbon tension barrel, and a Shooters Ridge thumbhole composit stock. I mounted a Weaver style picatiny scope mount plate and topped it off with a fine Millet Buck Gold varmit/target scope . The...

Hello all ,,, Looking for basicly an accurate 125 gr. jhp personal defense load and a heavier hunting load in 158 gr. jsp for backup when in the field with cougars an such. Have had 2 close encounters with cougars over the years and one with a bad guy . Not looking to be a victim, would rather...

Thinking of turning a 44 into a short sporter carbine but to do it the bayonet has to go. Anyone done this or know of someone who has had it done ??? Thanks for looking,,, 10 Spot

One more vote for the IMR 4350 here. I was ready to give up on loading the 165 gr. bullets for accuracy until I tried this powder for my Browning . I have the Barnes 168 gr. TSX pills shooting 1/2 inch groups at 100 yds and sub moa at 200. This is a nasty terminal performer that has anchored...

I have a S&W 66 Combat Magnum 4 in. that has somewhere close to 300 rds. fired through it and here is my dillemma . I recently had a lighter hammer and return spring installed and since then have been getting the shiney ring on the cylinder from the cylinder stop lug . Worse than that if you try...

Been trying to find matching holster for my recently aquired Model 14 with a 6in. barrel that is era correct but having a hard time finding any reference to their numbering system. I find a 21-26 LN listing and and figure it means they are for L and N frame revolvers but what are the 2 listed...

I recently bought a sweet Model 14 with a 6in. barrel and already know this is possibly the most accurate revolver I have ever owned. My only grouch is my eyes find it hard to deal with the glare and contast of the high gloss blue finish on the front and rear sights. I tried visiting Browells'...

I finally found a good one . It is a 14-4 with the 6 in. bbl. and am just starting to work up some loads . I am hoping to find some good dual purpose loads as I dont much fancy full wadcutters although they seem to be the rave for accuracy when punching holes in paper. I did find a lone...

I bought a very clean used Smith Model 66 combat Magnum and set about tricking it out right away. I replaced the boot grips with Safariland palm swell grips and was pleased. Next at the insistance of a friend I will have to say is more than a little obsessed with smoothing out the operation of...

Am thinking of adding a 38 spl. revolver to my list for mostly plinking and for a backup to my 357 4 in. carry gun. As I reload and cast my own bullets for the 357 it just seems the .38 spl. would be the best choice for a lighter calibre fun gun to shoot and economical as well as wont be buying...

I have been perplexed for some time now with flyers from my Remington 700 CDL in 243 Win. ,,, One time a 5 shot group may look good at around 1/2 in. @ 100 yds and the next it would open up and string out 2 or more flyers. From the onset I new the throat was a bit long as most of my loads be...

I cant believe the bit of horrible information I was given today. While making my rounds in search of ammo and reloading components a manager at a major retail outlet told me he had just received information from a major ammo and components supplier. He was told that in appx. 90 days supplies...

I have ran across a glitch after neck sizing 60 fire formed cases for my 30-06. All came from 1 lot of factory loaded Rem. ammo. All were neck sized in one setting with new Lee dies. All were trimmed to length well under max specs. The problem is this ,,, about 6 of the rounds you cant close the...

I have a very old Harrington Richardson 44-410 cal smoke pole that was my dads since he was a young boy and has a long family history that is in need of some help. With the action closed the barrel has some side to side movement and the forearm is loose as well. I want to save it if I can as a...
