My Persian CZ 98/29 outshoots my Gew 1888 but not by much... The Gew 1888 is highly underrated by some folks.

Hi Wolfdog,
I regularly shoot CMP style HiPower Matches using old Military rifles at 200 and 300 yards.
I find that for 30 caliber rifle bullets the Lyman 314299 is hard to beat. It works well...

My favorite short range target loading for the 45/70 is 45 grains of FFg. To make up space, I use a 1/2 inch of 5/8 diameter backer rod topped with a 405-408 grain cast Lee Hollow based bullet. I...

Hello Everyone!
I finally got to shoot my 1871/84 Spandau which served Bavaria. It was my Christmas Present to myself. My wife bought me dies from E-Bay and a Lyman mold from Midsouth.

Texas,
It is a strange Mexican Carbine, FN, CZ Mexican 1910...who knows!
It looks like it was converted to a drill carbine. The firing pin was snipped. The stock is wrong, the front band is...
