I would like to learn how to glass bed a rifle. I'm starting with a gun that has a synthetic stock. This is basically a throw-away gun so if I screw it up, I'm not out much. I pulled the action out of the stock, and noticed that there is no support in front of the recoil lug. I wanted to bed...

I recently acquired 2 .243 rifles. Along with those rifles I came across a package deal for many various .243 caliber bullets, and a boat-load of 25-06 brass, & bullets. I did a previous package buy wherein I also came across 300 pieces of new 25-06 brass, and several thousand bullets. I DON'T...

I have a Lee die set for 30-30. Recently I was attempting to load some semi-jacketed, flat nosed (exposed lead) hollow points. I was having a very hard time getting the bullets to start straight into the case. They kept wanting to cock to one side. I destroyed a couple pieces of brass this way...

I bought a used gun from a gentleman yesterday. I got a Savage 12FV w/26" heavy varmint barrel. Any time I buy a gun-new or used-I always take it home and clean it, and check it out before I fire it. I held the muzzle end of this gun up and could clearly see streaks of copper. Then I got a...

I have heard & read on many sites that a longer barrel will generate higher velocities as compared to a shorter barrel with the same load being fired. This begs the question-at what point does a longer barrel's advantages give way to frictional losses? If I fired a round from a 22" sporter...

I am thinking about removing the firing pin lock in my Para Ordnance 1911. The lock disengages when the trigger is pulled but before the sear is released. Because of this, there is a lot of pre-travel in the trigger before it reaches the point where it releases the sear. I don't like this! I...

I have finally gotten the itch to own a .45ACP. I have been looking at the different models and quite frankly the more models I look at the more confused I get. My budget is about $550. I like the Kimbers-even though some of them appear to be a little more "pimped out" than my tastes, and...

..about a mandatory gun relinquishment program like England, and Australia went through? I have been reading a couple threads on other sites where people are saying this might become a reality and I wanted to know if anyone else thinks this may happen. I also have been reading about people...

I have a few new rifles that are my pets, and get shot quite a bit. I would estimate that I have put 250 rounds through my .270 in this year. I bought the gun brand new. Last night I was cleaning the .270-just using Hoppes solvent, and cotton wipes. After I got the wipes to start coming out...

I am at a point where I am going to purchase a new scope for my gun. I have a stainless barreled 7MM Mag. Of these 2 scopes-which would you purchase & why: APV: http://www.muelleroptics.com/products/MAPV451440S.html Eradicator: http://www.muelleroptics.com/products/MU852550IGRS.html I am kind...

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a rifle, or open, site that I can add to my shotgun for better accuracy. I fired some slugs yesterday from 40 yards, then 30 yards, and finally 25 yards and I am hitting left of target using just the bead. If there are sights like this out there, do they...

I was thinking today about the burn rate of powders, and what the proper application is. I know that a lot of this is caliber specific so let's choose one in particular for discussion purposes. Let's use the venerable .270. If I load some rounds up for this caliber using 90 grain varmint...

I have been considering this for a while and wondered what the positive attributes might be. I came across this web site that has some good information: http://www.twincityrodandgun.com/PDF%20files/Rifle%20Bore%20Lapping.pdf I was wondering if this is something I should try myself. How would...
