Not necessarily. I've pushed 200gr plain based cast 44 Mag bullets up to 2000 FPS in my Rossi 92 without issues, other than a sore shoulder. There's more to the equation than just velocity. A...

I have found that one manual is usually not enough if you load anything other than just the most common of rounds. The Hornady and Lyman manuals are good and are generally enough. If they're missing...
On a rifle, they are fast and easy. There's no learning curve to them. On a pistol, there's definitely a learning curve. You need a fair amount of practice to get fast with one. There are some that...
$1.50 gets you 6 months to a year of battery life. Probably more if you don't change batteries until it's actually starting to die.

Hunting wise, the 38-55 is your best bet hands down, and the Savage 99 is a wonderful rifle.
The Spencer is the coolest, most historically significant gun out of the three, but is not one I would...

Forum: Smokeless Paper Patching
There's a couple I want to paper patch for. 7.5x53.5mm Swiss and 30-40 Krag. How's the best way to measure the bore diameter? Just take the depth gauge on a pair a calipers and stick it in the...

I've got some printer paper and a ton of notebook paper lying around, so I'll just give it a try with that and see how it works. I'll probably pick up some tracing paper too. Thanks for the...

I'm wanting to get into paper patching, and I've read the stickys, but I'm having trouble deciding on what paper to use. The general consensus seems to be that 16lb green bar printer paper is the...
I have a Arsenal 476-415 SWC mold for my 480. It's a great boolit. A 5 cav will set you back $88. It's a little heavier than you said you wanted, but when you get up around 400gr, does an extra 15gr...

Thanks for the tip on that! I have a Uberti SAA that is a bit picky with loads. I've managed to get most of my reloads to fit using a Lee FCD, but not all. Thankfully, I have a Uberti 1873 that will...

I'm slowly getting ready to do a 300 BLK build myself. I was thinking of going with something around 8" long, probably from Ballistic Advantage.
I have a NOE 311-206-RN plain base mold on the way.

Thanks fellas for the suggestions. Another member reached out to me and offered me some 300 Savage brass he was willing to part with, so I should be good to go on reloading for it now. :D I think the...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I have found myself the proud new owner of a Savage Model 99 in 300 Savage. Now, I've got to find a way to feed the thing. I haven't had much luck finding factory 300 Sav brass. I have some 250-3000...

Yeah, you don't want to sporterize any military rifles anymore. At this point, by the time you buy one and do any kind of work on it, it would have been cheaper to just buy a new gun, and the new gun...

3 months in and she's already dictating what he can own? That's not a good sign. By allowing her to do it, he also just set a precedent that's likely going to bite him in the butt later.

You are confusing people's desire to live in a place with that place's ability to educate them. They are not dependent on each other. The US is a very prosperous nation with a strong sense of justice...

It's not even close to being the best in the world. Not by a long shot. It might have been at one time, but that was long ago. (Talking about the education system, not our justice system. That is...

Yeah, that's a very real possibility. People like to throw the word Millennial around, but in reality, Millennials are getting older. The oldest are 41 now. The youngest are 25-26.

I've bought from them a few times in the past. Never had a problem, and they tend to get stuff shipped out fast.

I would sell it and buy a used, but still really nice vintage Python to shoot and pocket the difference. I have not heard good things about the new Python, and Colt is nowhere near what they used to...

From what I understand, it's not. The chamber pressure in the 30 SC drops significantly before the bullet leaves the barrel, so muzzle blast isn't an issue. From what I've seen and heard from people...
