    Garmin Xero Review

    I am going to preface this post by saying that I have owned a chronograph in the past. It was a Chrony and gave good service for quite a while. When it gave up the ghost, I didn’t run out and buy a new one right away but depended on the kindness of my shooting buddies to let me use theirs...

    Miltech Arms

    I have a 1903 Springfield that I'm thinking of sending off to be restored. I'm looking at Miltech to do the work. I've spoken with them and they were able to answer my questions. The turn around time is 6 months. Has anyone out there done business with them? They had some bad reviews but it...

    Cleaning mother of pearl

    I made a post in the gunsmith section but only got one response so I don't think many people are fooling with this stuff these days. Now I figured I'd ask in a place where someone actually has had to do this. I came into a 1903, Colt hammerless with a set of factory MOP grips that is 113 years...

    Cleaning mother of pearl grips

    I came by a 1903, Colt Pocket Hammerless that is 113 years old. It is covered with shellac inside and most of the outside. It is complete and seems to have been fire very little. It has factory MOP grips that are also a little stained from the ancient oil. My question is, what is the best way to...

    Lee Pro 6000

    Anyone out there using one of these? A fully automated press for under $400 bucks. They got my attention. I've used Lee stuff before and it's always delivered as advertised. It looks like there is a bullet feeder available, which would really make this press automated. I've been using Dillon...

    Brushing scheme

    And it has nothing to do with dental hygiene. A brushing scheme is when an Amazon seller sends packages to random addresses. They then can rate this "sale" as a "verified buyer". The more positive ratings they have, the higher the seller appears when someone does a search for products they have...

    44 Mag Semi-Auto

    Now that Smith has introduced a gas operated M&P, we need to start e mailing to get them to scale it up and chamber it in 44 Magnum, ala' the Desert Eagle. Maybe they could revive the 44 Auto Mag if they don't want to fool around with the 44 Mag rim. Sort of an M&P X frame.

    Home heating fuel

    I just got a load at $5.85 a gallon! I'd like to rant about it but I would surely end up back in the penalty box. What are you guys paying?

    RCBS Single Stage

    I have an RCBS Jr. press that I have been using since 1974. My head hurts thinking about how many rounds have been loaded with that press. Most of my handgun loading is done on a couple of Dillon's and the single stage is used for loading hunting and target rifle loads and some small batches of...

    Ammo everywhere

    Hit up a couple of gun shops yesterday. There is no ammo shortage here. The big shops had pallets of ammo. Lots of different stuff around now. I saw lots of 30-06, 30-30, 300 Blackout, 270, 44 Mag, even lots of 45 Colt now. Tons of target shotgun shells and 209 primers. Just about everything...

    Ammo Sales

    I spent today traveling around to 5 LGS's. There was ammo everywhere! I saw all kinds including 30-30 and 30-06. Plenty of 38 special. The smaller shops all had 9's and 223's. At one of the larger shops they had pallets of all kinds of ammo. I even saw cases of 45-70. It was hard to move around...

    There's no good reason to do this...but, part 2

    A while back I started a thread on my experiences loading 9mm aluminum cases. There's no good reason to do this....but Some of the people who responded to the thread questioned the endurance of the aluminum case. It got me thinking about how tough these cases are and how many times they could...

    Merit Optical Attchment

    Anyone out there using a Merit Optical Attachment for bullseye shooting? I have one that needs a replacement suction cup but the Merit web site is a bit sparse on information. Any idea where I might be able to purchase a replacement?

    Chronograph tale of woe

    I've never owed a chronograph but always had friends who let me borrow theirs when needed. I decided to buy one so I ordered a Caldwell, G2 from Optics Planet. I got it and it was DOA. I couldn't get anything out of it other than an error message and the Bluetooth wouldn't connect with anything...

    RCBS Customer service

    People like to go online and talk about their negative customer service experiences. After reading this stuff for a while, we start thinking that all customer service is horrible. I thought that with all the negativity, I would share my positive experience. In 1987, I bought an RCBS primer...

    Remington R1 Hunter in 10mm

    Anyone else out there have one of these long slides? I've had mine for some time now but it really doesn't want to run for me. I have a lot of failure to feeds with the slide stopping short of locking up. There was a hefty burr on the edge of the breach face that I stoned down. It helped a...

    I'm not sure if anything has been posted about this, but it looks like Palmetto State Armory is going to try and set up to manufacture steel case ammo in the US. PSA Tooling Up For Domestic Steel-Cased Ammo Production - Gun Digest

    300 grain bullet for 500

    I have a ton of Hornady 300 grain xtp's that were made for the 50 AE. I want to work up a load for my 500 Mag. I have IMR4227, 296, H110 and a small amount of Blue Dot. I'm looking for something in the light to medium range. I'm not looking to hunt rino's with it. Data is scarce for anything...
