Locally it just depends on who is working at the counter. One woman is well versed in the ups policies and I never have trouble shipping ammo. Everyone else is about worthless. Glad you had a...

I started off shooting 00 buck shot almost exclusively when I joined a hunt club in Virginia that runs deer with hounds. A lot of patterning and a few kills later and I'm becoming a believer in #1...

Coffee, iced tea, or a glass of water is almost always within arms reach when I'm loading. Not on the bench, but not far away either.

No arguments here, but I prefer a single action for my big bore revolvers. I do own a few S&W revolvers and I like the lines of the RH, but I can't get past the barrel shroud/frame extension of the...

I love shooting cast bullets, but between the demands of my job and the various activities and sports my three kids are involved in there just isn't enough time. With so many quality commercial...

I don't shoot much factory ammo these days, but when I used to, I shot some magtech ammo in revolvers. I don't recall any problems with it. There wasn't enough savings to justify it in 9mm or 40 over...

Good reminder to protect our eyesight. I wasn't always great about protecting my hearing when I was younger... shooting, motorcycles, chainsaws and other outdoor power equipment. I have ringing and...

Just to be clear, that link was only to demonstrate what I was calling ratshot. I wouldn't pay those prices either. The speer capsules are getting tough to find, but can be reloaded a lot cheaper...

Great customer service and veteran owned, I'll be ordering in the morning. Thanks for sharing your experience.

As did I. I'm sure he could write quite the entertaining book of short stories or tales from his time guiding in Alaska.

Agreed. I've been using some of his data for unique powder with 260 cast/240 Sierra JHP/250 XTP/260 Speer JHP and he goes as high as 12 grains. I went 11, 11.2, and 11.5 and I don't think I'll go any...

Saw this video over on 24hcf. Phil Shoemaker recounts killing a big bear with a 9mm. It's a good interview with someone who has a lot of real world experience.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but it's a good read if you haven't seen it.

Ruglin, I like that. The new Ruger produced Marlins are a sight better than the Remlins, but I like my Marlins with a JM stamp and no crossbolt safety.

I cast my vote for 30-30. If you're only going to own one lever action it would be downright un-American for it not to be chambered in 30-30. Thankfully, we can own multiple lever guns so go on and...

An unconverted 3 screw super blackhawk in 45 colt with a 4.62" barrel about a two months back. Not my first SBH, but my first 3 screw model and I understand what the fuss is all about.

Congratulations young lady! I remember my daughter's first deer. She no longer hunts, but we cherish the memories we made together in the deer stand and turkey woods.

I'm tired from just thinking of cutting up 27 hogs. Half the time I don't shoot critters when I'm hunting because I don't want to deal with all the work that happens after I squeeze the trigger.

Loaded a bunch of 38 special loads. We're making a trip up to my parent's house in Pennsylvania next month and my nieces and nephews who live in Pittsburgh love shooting when their hillybilly uncle...

I like coated bullets for all of the reasons already stated. I don't see going back. I do still load uncoated bullets, but usually only when I get them in an estate or yard sale find as part of a...

Loaded some hitek coated 240 grain semi wadcutters over a healthy dose of H110.

We always called it rat shot

I'm glad I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the wharf rats some of you mentioned. I'm not a fan of any rodents, not even the little mice that occasionally find their way into the house or the field...

For 410 buckshot loads, I loaded three pellets of 000 buck inside a waa410hs wad for my kid to shoot out of his NEF single shot. It was a low recoil, fun range load and nothing more.

Here's a 6" 657 that loves 215 grain SWC over 21 grains of accurate 11FS.

Some people will say we don't need a 41 magnum since it falls between the more popular 44 and 357 magnums. Those same...
