My question is this. Does your GP-100 extract 357 fired rounds completely clear of the cylinder or do you have to occasionally pluck the fired cases out by hand? This is a design fault in the S&W 686 revolvers as you have to many times pluck out 357 cases because the extractor rod is not long...

There have been some shooters on this forum that have stated that they encountered severe leading problems with using hard cast bullets at lower 38Spec velocities in their handguns. I've used hard cast bullets, 18 BRN, at lower velocities (715 to 730 fps) in my 38 Spec with no leading evident...

Has anyone used the 357 Zinger 140 gr. cast bullet in their revolvers from Missouri bullet company? How did it perform and was there much if any leading? How is this company to do business with? Any problems with either bullets or the company itself?

I have 2 questions concerning S&W revolvers. No.1- The model 617, 22LR revolver I've been told has an cylinder made of some sort of alloy or other metal other than stainless steel. Is this true? And why would S&W even do this when the rest of the revolver is SS? No.2- Did S&W make the K-38...

Does anyone know if S&W and Ruger are even making or shipping any revolvers to their distributors? I've spoke to many leading distributors and they all say that if they receive any at all that it's a pitifull small amount and the time lag in between receiving any is usually months. I thought...

I've a question for you S&W 686 owners. Is the cylinder diameter on the 686 six shot revolver (S&W #164222) the same as on the 686P seven shot (S&W#164194) revolver? I'm curious if S&W had to enlarge the 686P's cylinder to accommodate adding the 7th cartridge.

Has anyone seen, handled, shot, or bought one of these rifles yet? If it's a YES, I would like comments or opinions.

Only 2 of the major bullet makers claim to lock the cores of their bullets to their jackets and they are Hornady Interlocks and Remington's Core-loks. I realize there are custom bullet makers that do also (Berger, Nosler,etc.) but I'm only interested in the 2 major producers, Hornady and...

Has anyone bought and used any version of a Sightron SI scope? Interested in adjustment features, clarity, and brightness. I'm looking at the 3-9x40 model. How would it compare to the Redfield or Bushnell Banner or XLT models?

A question for you guys that reload for your 30-06's and 270's. Those of you that use Hornady, Sierra, Speer, or Rem Core-lok bullets in 130, 150, or 165 weights, what is your most favorite and accurate bullet? Also is your favorite bullet a flat base or a boat tail. I plan on doing some...

Does anyone know how I can find out the BC's of Remington Core-lok bullets short of contacting Remington outright? Their website doesn't have it and I can't find the info anywhere on the internet or their catalog. Maybe this info doesn't even exist, who knows.

In the March issue of Shooting Times on page 76 there is an article on how you can get a Savage rifle made to your specs. They are made with all Savage parts of course, but the options and choices are yours to make and I imagine the cost is directly related to your choices. I'm going to inquire...

Would like to hear from some reloaders out there that reload for the 6.5x55 Swede. I'm primarily interested in loads that use the Hornady 129 gr. SST or the 129 gr. flat base bullets. The powders I'm interested in are H4350, H4831sc, or H414/760. If you know the velocities of any that you...

I'm trying to decide between the 2 powder dispensers. Would like imput and comments from forum members who have and use either of these 2 dispensers. Thanks for any and all responses. Ed

I've read quite a few posts by forum members that a person shouldn't buy a 25-06 rifle with a barrel less than 24 inches. I will agree that this is an ideal length for a 25-06 barrel, but numerous brand name rifle makers (Winchester, Savage, Ruger, Tikka, etc.) make 22" barrels in this caliber...

Would like to hear from deer hunters that use the 25-06. What results you've had, whether you use a 100, 115, 117, or 120 grain bullet, various yardages that you've taken deer, and how the grain and brand of bullet you used performed in regard to expansion and terminal damage. Thanks for any and...

I'm considering the purchase of a Tikka rifle, namely the T3 in 7mm-08 caliber. I'm leaning towards the Hunter Stainless or just the blued Hunter with walnut stock. Been also looking at the SS/Lite version too. I would like to hear from owners and users of these models. Like how do you like the...
