Only 30cal mold I have on hand is a 210gr one. My Lyman book lists load data for cast bullets in the 30-06, but I was wondering if these loads might be to hard on the Garand action? Can this be...

Maybe this has been asked before, but with the technology getting better and cheaper I thought I’d see if I can get into night vision for hog hunting. In your opinions what is the best night vision...

I’m sure they experienced fouling too after long strings of shooting, but from what I have read the black powder in those days was much higher quality than the stuff commercially available now. Also...

If the boolit noses are flat you can try standing them on the nose and pan lubing them. I’ve also seen guys dip loaded rounds up to the crimp groove in warm lube. Not exactly mess free but would...

Are you sure it’s stainless? If it’s stamped “19” it has to be nickel or blued. S&W never made a 19 in stainless. Anyways back to your original question. 3fg black powder and a decent BP lube...

When it comes to diameter I still error on the side of big is better and my alloy tends to be pretty soft, but I don’t notice an accuracy difference between traditional lubes and Hi-Tek. My bore is...

I'd give recrowning a try first. I have had some really poor shooters turn into some really good shooters after just a simple recrown job. It sounds like the chamber, diameter and bore/rifling are...

In your first post you say “developed or maybe had it all along” which is it? Did the gun ever run 170gr bullets reliably? As others have said some guns just have short tight throats that make...

Those Miroku folks know how to make rifles. It’s just a shame that the current owners of Winchester make them put tang safeties and rebounding hammers. I’ve got two Browning (Miroku) rifles that...

Because you asked, the proper way to do it is with a pure lead round ball that is just slightly bigger than the bore and brass rod as close to the bore diameter as possible. Heavily oil your bore...

Seeing as this is a recent problem and it does it with both factory and reloads I am thinking it’s an issue with your chamber or throat. I’d coat one of the live rounds that is causing a problem...

Yes, the first batch I measured out 103 grains on my scale and mixed it with 33ml, great results, was just hoping for an easier way.

I have been having great results with three thin coats of hi-tek coating. Now it’s time to mix up some more. Instructions say 20g (grams) of powder to 100ml of acetone. Problem is the only...

Just about any AR will fill your needs of working when you pull the trigger and hitting a large target at 200-300 yards. The fairly cheap ARs that people seem to be pretty happy with are the DPMS...

For under $500 they are not bad rifles that can be made a lot better with a little TLC.
While the fit and finish on a Rossi leaves a lot to be desired, the 92 design is sound.

Pre safety? Pre Remington? Those are two important things now when it comes to Marlins.

I have yet to buy into the novelty of the pistol caliber ARs, but just about any carbine pistol combo in 9mm, 40, or 45auto could be appealing given the proper scenario.
