If you are working out of a blind, shirt range under 50 yards it do, you can simply use a red lense flashlight to good effect. The pigs don’t seem to notice the red light. Another technique is to use...

Well the first problem is that the 30 SC has 50,000 psi chamber pressure. The 7.65 French Long isn't loaded to that kind of chamber pressures. You run the risk of blowing the old guns up.
The...
Nice going with your reloading of the 30SC. I like it. Thanks for sharing.
I have one but I haven't gotten around to try reloading for it yet. I am hoping others come up with some load data for it...
The Ruger EC9s is about as small as they get and can be easily carried in a pocket. It is intended for pocket carry with rounded edges and small sights to avoid getting snagged on stuff when you draw...
I had the cases fly up and bounce off the ramada or the ceiling in a indoor range. The case would bounce off the ceiling for example then sometimes they bounce off of the side wall and wack me on the...
Did anyone already mention the Pfeifer-Zeliska .600 Nitro express revolver yet? That has to be at the top of the list for the number one slot.

I wish you all the best. It is nice you are able to stay in the game, so to speak. I like the little SKS. I think it is a great little gun. It used to be cheap to shoot before the pandemic and the...

I remember many years ago almost buying one myself. But at the time we didn't have any cartridge cases that I could modify to use to make ammo for it. It uses the 9x23mm Largo and no one was making...
In the really short barrels the .22mag suffers a lot of velocity loss. A lot of unburned propellant gets spewed out.

If I remember correctly, one of the...
They usually have the competition guns setup for a certain bullet weight and propellant load. For many it is a minimum load for targets sometimes they even go as far as barely being able to get the...

I liked the 8mm Hakim, but the Rashid baby Hakim was pretty neat though. It apparently worked well enough for the Egyptians to adopt and use it for years. But The 8mm Hakim was huge and very heavy....

I used to have both their 8mm Hakim and their baby Hakim 7.62x39. I never tried cast bullets but there is no reason it wouldn't work. The gas port is adjustable though you may need a special tool...

It turned out great. You made yourself a nice little carbine there for sure. I like your ideas on the sights and how to mount them too.

Well, when we see Aguila ammo for sale at a "too good to be true price" we will know where it came from. The Cartels simply use very little 22 rimfire ammo, if any, so they have to dump it on the...
I think that one thing that people missed was that the 45 Colt originally started as a black powder cartridge. it needed more room for the powder charge. when modern smokeless powder came along the...
15 yards is good for me too. I like to change it up some when practicing, 5 to 7, 15 and 25 yards all work for me.

Well folks it looks like Midway is sold out now. so you won't have to fret over them more.

I got lucky and acquired a nice old BSA Martini International MKII in 22LR caliber. I always wanted a really nice target rifle and then I finally ran across one. I tend to miss out on things like...

.308 Creedmoor wildcat cartridge. Gotta love it. :lol:

I remember some WWII veterans telling me about some of their battles in the Pacific. When the Japanese massed and started their suicide charges, they would start firing at around 1200 yards or more....
Yeah, when you look at it, you will note that your second finger is behind the trigger guard. When you fire it, the gun will slam back hard into the finger, the finger knuckle is right there too. The...
I expect that there will be a inexorable change to SPP over time. They have to reduce or eliminate lead pollution. It is driving bullet design and manufacture already with coated bullets or jacketed...

That is some super fine shooting done by that fellow. I think that the Boers during the Boer Wars with the UK might have matched him in range or even beat him. But they didn't have Guiness Records...
