I have my first .300 Win Mag. It is a Ruger Magnum Precision Rifle. It is chambered in .300 WM The twist is a 1 in 9. I picked up Hornady FL dies, and Hornady brass. I have CCI Large Rifle Bench Rest primers, Federal Match LR, and Magnum LR, as well as a brick of S&B large rifle primers as well...

I am now the owner of my second RPR. The first one being a 6.5 Creedmoor. The second one being a magnum version. The one I got is .300 WM. I was on the fence between .338 LM and the .300 WM. In the end the lower price per round .300 WM won out. It is heavy. 15 pounds without a scope, and no...

I have come into a Kimber 10mm Long Slide Target. When I bought the gun I pick up 300 Star Line cases. 500 Ranier 180 grain hollow points. I already have S&B large pistol primers. Powders I have are as follows: Blue Dot (I hear it is the cats meow for 10mm.) I have most of a pound of it. Picked...

I managed to come into this gun. A long time family friend gifted it to me. He is going into a retirement community that does not allow guns at all. He bought this about a year ago, and never shot it. I helped him move, and took quite a few guns to his sons that he wants them to have. After...

So I was at a box store, and was killing some time as my wife was shopping a few big box stores down the mini mall. They have a fairly large selection of 1911 pistols I like to look at. I saw one that was sticking out more than the others. I asked to look at it. The clerk after clearing it hands...

Colt Trooper Mk.III (It needed a new home, so I rescued it.) This one I picked up at a gun show. It was the property of a family friend that passed away a few years ago. He was a Texas Ranger for 30 years until he retired. He graduated college and was sworn in as a Ranger in 1974. He was issued...

Saturday night the words "shut up, and take my money were spoken by me." I take a look at one in 6.5 Creedmoor. It has a price of $419 with a $100 mail in rebate. Handling it made me think of my Model 12 FSSV in .223Rem.( That rifle makes me look good without much effort.) I was going to buy a...

I stopped into the local gun store to pick up a 100 primers to hold me over until I take a trip to the farther away place that I buy my supplies in bulk at. The reloading stuff is in a nook in the back of the store. To get to the stuff you have to pass by all the display cases with a revolver...

I found 3 boxes of what is new to me Winchester Super Clean. It is lead free with zinc core bullets. I know it does not take much zinc to ruin a batch of lead, and it not very practical to try to dilute it enough to negate its effects casting. Just thought I would throw that out there. I saw...

Shortly before Christmas I had the cash to spare for a new gift for myself, and had no particular gun in mind. I had a few I had looked at that looked more promising than others. I decided to make a trip to the local Cabela's in Waco. I was eyeing a Colt 1911 Target in 9mm. It had a blue Tru Glo...

Last year I stumbled into a great deal on a very lightly used Charter Arms Bull Dog at the range. I had been shooting it for quite a while. Then my wonderful wife was at the range with me one day. After shooting a few cylinders out of it she confiscated it. She carries it now. She shoots it...

I will make a long story short. I bought an AR a couple of weeks ago. I did the initial testing of it with factory ammo, as my .223 Rem I have reloaded are neck sized for my bolt action. I used up the last of my H335 for them. Though I will not have to reload for my bolt action for a good while...

I stumbled into too good of a deal to walk away from on it at least. I was at the range shooting, and a guy was shooting a S&W snub in .38 Spcl. I was talking to him, and he let it slip he had years ago bought a .44 Spcl. on a whim. Once he found out the price of ammo for it when buying a...

Well I had a Charter Arms Bull Dog that I brought home two weeks ago. Last week I picked up a couple of boxes of ammo for the brass. I ordered a 6 hole Lee TL .430-240 SWC mold. It was on my door step on Christmas Eve. Due to family time, and other matters I had to wait to start using it. This...

I have a USPS medium flat rate box full of range pick up brass. I have tumbled most of it. I have sorted it out to weed out the cases that are obviously not usable, as well as used a magnet to assure no steel is in it either. Head stamps are mixed. A lot of PMC, and Lake City. There are others...

I have a little bit over 1,000 pieces of .223 Rem range pick up brass that I have tumbled until clean. I have also done the primary inspection to toss out any that are too bent, or crushed to reload. There are not any in there that I would not lube, and run through my own dies. They are bagged...

Well Mrs M&P is off to work, and I have this last day of my vacation left. The pot is heating up as I type. Looks like I am low on .452 200 grain SWC. I hope to knock out a few before the great furnace in the sky makes it literaly hotter than Hades here in Central Texas.

I have just a bit over a thousand pieces of mixed head stamp range pick up brass. It has been tumbles, and the obviously not reloadable ones have been culled out. I have tumbled it in walnut media, and head stamps are readable. Again it is mixed head stamp. It is all brass. Price is $65 shipped...

I have been casting for a couple of years with wheel weights. I sort mine before I melt them down, and I skim off anything that is still not melted, or starting to melt at 700 degrees or so. I have never ran into contamination problems. Well I got a message from a friend that is starting out on...

My dad is retired a year ago, and started dealing in vintage, and collectable knives, as well as some antiques. He aquired theese bayonetes the other day. The newer ones I am guessing are more modern I forgot what the nubers on the scabbards were. Two had smaller holes than one. I am not sure...
