I always enjoy the posts that say basically:

"Don't use the reasons you might want to do X and then tell me reasons why you might want to do X."

The OP basically discounts the reasons to start...

My friend who got me into shooting (I didn't grow up with guns) had a Ruger Standard (not even a Mk. I) .22 pistol. I bought a Marlin Model 70 shortly after I shot his Ruger for the first time (I...

When I started shooting, which was admittedly almost 30 years ago, we bought Winchester Wildcat at K-Mart for $9.99 a brick. It was $7.99 a brick if we hit a sale. Man, I miss those days.

I have added another since I made that original post. In addition to one in college and the twins above, I also have a 3 year old. Last night the three year old was helping me handload; I would...

To revive an ancient thread, here is a picture of the twins (mentioned in original post and now 11 years old) one of whom is shooting the above FV-SR, now with a Boyd's Tacticool Stock and...

I'd like to have a M1 Carbine again. I had an original many years ago and stupidly let it go. I don't really want to pay current original M1 Carbine prices, nor am I looking for a collectors item,...

I wasted a lot of time reading the sticky about the Enfield and decided it was long on BS and short on pictures. So, in that frame of mind, here are a couple of pictures from the WW I Museum in...

I see that Powder Valley has both 7.62x39 and 7.62x51 berdan primers in stock. Anyone have any thoughts on the 7.62x51 primers being used in 7.62x54R and/or 8mm Mauser?

I've had great luck with Aguila Super Extra Subsonic out of my Savage MkII FV-SR. It is accurate, and even without the suppressor it is pretty quiet. I have the rifle zeroed at 50 yards, it hit POA...

I am very happy with my Savage MkII FV-SR. I replaced the plastic stock with a Boyd's Tacticool stock and even in doing so I ended up with about $350 in it. I think it is a good looking rifle, and...

I have a Savage FV-SR for which I am (very impatiently) waiting for my paperwork to return so I can pick up my suppressor. Its a great little rifle, not the best stock, but overall I am very...

I'm interested in the Blackout because of its heavy bullet/subsonic qualities and its easy compatibility with the 5.56mm AR platform. There is a lighter bullet supersonic Blackout loading that is...

If one wants to avoid the rougher finished "war" guns, the easy solution is to purchase a "hex" (actually octagonal) receiver gun. The round receiver replaced the octagonal receiver sometime in the...

In that condition, yes. If you have a C&R FFL you can order them for as low as $69 each, but by the time you pay shipping and a hand select fee, its basically a wash, and at a local shop you get to...

I can't give you an exact date, but the .357 Magnum is from about 1935, and the .38/44 pre-dates it.

I'd love to get my hands on the LP .38 Special brass, I've never seen any.

Yeah, I've become a huge NOE fan. I'm ditching most of my Lyman moulds and getting custom NOE ones that cast exactly what I want instead of having to live with "off the shelf". Yes, there is a...

Mine was a Lyman 358430 double cavity, not quite two years ago. One could say I got the sickness hard. I got into casting to be able to shoot 200 grain boolits in .38 Special, so it makes sense...

Thanks for the tips guys, looking forward to trying some of these out. I also have plenty of Trail Boss, so that should be fun too.

I recently got myself a Turkish 8mm Mauser that I am planning on shooting only as a cast boolit rifle. Mostly I'll just be ringing steel with it, and maybe shooting a rifle side match for giggles...

I'd likely go with the .300 Blackout. As it happens, there is a 250 grain +/- GB going on right now for a boolit intended for the Blackout. If I can find some money I'm considering getting in on...

Yeah, the moon clip cut .38 Special Airweights are a pretty new thing. I have a 642 Pro which is also cut for the clips. I shoot it all the time without the clips with no issues. The only real...

I got an average of about 700 fps out of a 5 1/2" Ruger Blackhawk .44 Special using 9.5 grains of 2400, Wolf LP primer, and Lee 310 grain RFGC boolits. I am sure 1000 fps would be possible with some...

I've had very good luck with the Lyman RN .38 Special mould (358311?) in 9x19mm. With the alloy I have been using the mould casts about 164 grains and is very accurate. I've been shooting them...

Heck, start a thread, I bet you can get at least five.
