It's frustrating to buy 250-500 and have them not work out. Maybe a request on the right board for someone to send you a few is the answer?

AMSEC makes two very nice "under the bed" long gun safes with electronic locks:

There is a 310 Tool in 32-20 and my LGS if anyone is looking.

The Remington 870 Youth in 20GA is a really underrated weapon. It's not just a 12GA with a different barrel. The whole thing is scaled down, and it's very easy to handle for probably everyone in a...

If you are shooting 357 out of a carbine, Hodgson Lil'Gun can get you a lot more velocity out of the same 158gr or whatever. I would consider it adequate at 100 yards at the speeds you can get it up...

I don't see why you couldn't roll them in ALOX or any similar hard, thin wax and shoot them up. Are they already sized?

Have you tried OC Reload in Anaheim? I needed to load 9mm, and they had True Blue. I believe it's superior to the W-231 and Clays I used to use for this application. If you need primers, try...

BPI sells the "Small Bore Manual" with data and info on 410 and 28ga loading. 410 is small enough that there are 410 dies for a regular single stage Rockchucker or similar press if you just need a...
It also depends on range - you might be able to get away with 950fps if your application is chasing off bears at 50 yards, since they have 2" of fur and hide and the projectiles slow down quickly. ...

Thanks, I think I'll try this with my Contender in .444 Marlin.
Try shooting whatever shot you load at a couple of layers of cardboard at various ranges. You want the pellets to penetrate around one layer of cardboard but not more or else it easily creeps into...
The Sharpshooter mold for #4 or 00 buck makes pretty good pellets and drops a bunch at a time. The secret is finishing them:
1. Clip off the sprues with a sharp pair of flush cutters.
2. Put...

Have you tried electrolytic derusting? I have had great luck with this. My 1871 Mauser got the full treatment, and I was even able to salvage the extremely delicate magazine tube this way. Rusted...
I've shot plenty of cast through a USP .40 without significant leading. None of these are pushing the envelope, however.

I got mine a week ago, and so far it has been great. I already performed a few modifications:
1. The front sight is nearly invisible on a black target. I spent about $3.00 at my local Ace...

You might want to look at Hodgson Lil'Gun. It works great in 30 carbine and .357mag lever guns.
Forum: Black Powder Paper Patching
I use a light wipe of Lee Alox after the patch is applied and dry. This seems to add a bit of waterproofing and eases the loading process. I don't think it's required.

There's no reason it would not. It uses the same 406Mhz satellite network. PLB is the same technology as EPIRB, adapted to a more portable design and registered to a person instead of a vessel.

I volunteer with Search & Rescue out here. To my knowledge, we have never failed to locate someone alive here who activated a SPOT, InReach or Personal Locator Beacon (PLB). If you want 2-way...
A middle-of-the-road 158gr SWC will clear pins with the 357. One advantage is that there is probably a whole lot less competition in the revolver category. Assuming a mix of non-pros, you can win...
Burris periodically has a deal where you get a Fastfire III along with a 336 (AR15/Scout-style 308) illuminated scope. The package together is like $100 more than just getting the FF3.

I am disappointed that there is a simple explanation for this. I really wanted to believe that the select-fire HK-1891 is in development somewhere. Maybe a competitor to the .458 SOCOM, but...
I use Longshot and mixed brass for 180gr range loads and 800X with brand-new Starline cases for full-power hunting loads under a 200gr hardcast bullet. Be careful with range-pickup brass in the...
They also work great with the Sharpshooter buckshot molds that produce a "tree" of pellets. Another HF tool to consider is the $45 rock tumbler. Put your Lead balls in there with a pinch of graphite...
