      Scopes for pellet rifles

      I've had good luck with BSA airgun scopes on my spring guns. Inexpensive and reliable.

      Canik Owners Opinions

      The past couple years I've been shooting a lot of 22 rifle matches. There are three ranges near me that shoot the out to 200 meters. Shot NPCCC yesterday. NPCCC Michigan City SAM Range near Toto

      "Study" of widespread, bipartisan aversion exists to neighbors owning AR-15s or storing guns insecurely

      Subtle is for poets and plastic surgeons.

      Are there issues with UPS delays?

      Did not experience any delays, but yesterday UPS dropped off my case of 22LR ammo to my neighbor.

      New loader, new caliber question

      I do not use a Lee Factory Crimp Die (FCD) for my revolvers. I shoot mostly cast or swaged bullets. Those are normally 1 to 2 thousandths larger than jacketed bullets. Sometimes you need to go larger, depending on bore size. The Lee FCD sizes the entire loaded round, thus swaging the bullet...

      Why Was Hip Shooting Ever a Thing?

      This is the best explanation for hip shooting, I think. The video is about point shooting, but at around 1:50 into the video, he does some hip shooting and had some explanations. In one of our courses of fire in Blythe's pistol league, we do some close-up hip shooting, just to get the feel of...

      Best pricing for quality

      S&W K38

      Nice find. I have one like that that's make in 1956, the year I was born. I've shot mine at Camp Perry and other matches for distinguished revolver matches and occasionally in my pistol league.. It doesn't hurt to shoot them. Just don't abuse it.

      Smokin clays with dad’s Ithaca Model 37

      My wife has her uncle's 37. She's shot it a few times in some turkey shoots.

      Competition will get you.............

      Over the years I've been at gun shows for some clubs I was in, trying to draw more interest. There were so many people that said they just shoot in their back yard. That's fine for some things, but you are tested more in a competition and that will up your game. Especially if you shoot with...

      .357 mag or .44 mag That is the question...

      Those that suggest .357 must not reload. As Leo mentions, the 44mag is best if you reload. I consider it the most versitile revolver cartridge around, for a reloader. I have 8 handloads for the 44mag myself. Bullet weights from 165gr thru 300gr. There are also larger than 300 grains, although I...

      Question on reloading workflow

      I have lots of Clays and Clay Dot, but did not know Clays is out of production.

      Question on reloading workflow

      For light cowboy action 45 Colt loads, I use Clays. For hotter loads I use 10gr of AA#5 w/ 250gr RNFP. Three loads with 10gr AA#5 in three different cartridges. Interesting.

      Melted some lead this week

      Below are the formulas. I put them into a spreadsheet for easy calculation. Ideal hardness in BHN = Pressure / 1,920 Maximum BHN = Pressure / 1,422

      Question on reloading workflow

      After the explosion at the plant that made Clays powder years ago, I started using Clay Dot. Works pretty well. When I was able to get Clays again, I still used Clay Dot for shotgun since it takes much more powder than the light pistol loads. The 12 guage loads with Clay Dot leave some powder...
