Just bought a Benjamin Marauder in .25 cal. It hasn't even made it to its new home yet, so I am a "new-guy" to an airgun. [I don't think that my old Red Ryder BB gun counts.] I bought the .25 in...

I have taken a number of Blacktail deer over the years with a 243 - most with a 100 grain Remington Core-Lokt soft point. All were less then 150 yards and only one required a second shot. A...

I would like 25 pounds at that $3.00 price and %. If for some reason it doesn't make quite that % - please give me a call anyway.
Thank you,

I have never killed a "big bear", but my 45-70 Marlin 1895G with a 405 cast boolit has been pretty impressive (to me) on elk. One bull elk was shot while jumping a log, downhill at a range of 50 to...

I have read Col. Hackworth's books and have nothing to compare with his troops or with some of my friends stories. The only tale that I was a part of that made the internet was while I was a MM2...

I think I'll give the tire rack suppressor a try (as soon as I can convince my wife how great it will look :) ). Seems like some drain holes in the bottoms of the tires and a wash down once in...

Thanks for all of the ideas. It seems that I am not the only one thinking about building a "range suppressor". 38 years ago shooting here with anything and in any direction was no problem. The...

Anyone ever use those 4'X8' sheets of "sound proof" boards that the local lumber yard carries for home theater construction in homes? I wonder every time I walk by them if they would work to cut...

Don't forget to protect your feet. I used to cast while wearing my moccasins -very comfortable until I slopped some lead. The wool sock saved my foot, but was a very painful lesson. Now I wear...

After hearing about how bad lead is.......I wondered about how I would test, so I ask for a lead test - especially when I recalled how many times Dad told me "to get the lead out". Grew up playing...

I still use my Lee "Classic" Loaders on the road or for small amounts put together on my desk. My Lee Anniversary kit press is now mounted on a wood base that fits into my bench vise to assist the...

Cheap muffin "tins" work great. Check your local dollar store for them. Pick a size that will go into your melt pot with no hassel. Get the type that has a bit of a taper so that your ingots...

Hello Blackthorn - hang in there - '39 was a great year! I remember when the teachers and the students used to admire each others rifles and swap hunting stories in the parking lot. I had the...

Skin-em. Use a hypodermic needle to infuse with chicken broth, melted butter (about 1/2 cup). Season with sage, onion, salt,etc. Cover with muslin and pour chicken broth and butter over the top....

Born lucky - into a family that liked shooting and hunting so very early start.
Reloading since early 60's and casting since early 70's.

Never shot a buffalo, but my 45-70 does well on elk. Two years ago with a 405 flat nose I shot a bull going away at an angle at about 75 yds. Entry through the left rear "ham" just in front of the...

Singleshotbuff,

Thanks for the reply. Not really after a positive ID on the powder as that would be a pretty tough call. I had expected a flake or a ball powder so was kind of surprised with my...

Broke down some Bulgarian 7.62x25mm surplus ammo and plan to shoot some cast in the a CZ52 using the military primed brass. Each cartridge averaged approx. 8.5 grains of what appears to be an...

I have read about using coffee grounds for filler in several different places.
It sounds "interesting".........has anyone here ever tried this filler? How did it work?

Anybody load "light" for a 243 Win? I've worked with 30-06 and 35 Whelen with good results, but the 243 Win is new territory for me.

My present trap is made of two 1/4" steel plates placed together on a 45 degree angle into a sand trap - the target is placed on a carpet remnant tacked to the trap frame in front of the plates. ...

1903 Mark 1.....today, 2nd: my rifle from basic, the M1 Garand and then my "other" the BAR
.........It is a trick question!

45-70 (Marlin 1895G) non-ported. I think it is a great rifle: easy carry, iron sights and works well in heavy brush and rain. On the range I use ear plugs and muffs, but it's a smart...

I can't match the experience of some, but I would be careful compressing 7383. I have only worked with it in 30-06. . After reading and some testing (no chorony working at that time) I loaded...
