    Hunting 4 legged geurilla grocery grubbers

    I've always had the desire to hog hunt, but as many of us, we can't justify (primarily to our wives) the cost involved. I was hoping to hunt on public lands in Texas and/or Florida, but the bottom line is that it is pretty much a waste of time. I guess I just have to save some money to see if...

    Storing gun cases

    When I moved from FL to TX 3 years ago, I realize how many soft and hard rifle cases I had. All the cases for the long guns I stored in my safes ended up in the attic in one of those large moving boxes you buy from U-Haul or at Home Depot to pack hanging clothes. Those that are still in their...

    How much did you spend on equipment (not supplies) to reload?

    Over the years it's probably been the equivalent of selling a kidney because -admit it or not - we all go overboard eventually. I started with a LEE Precision Challenger kit over 10 years ago and surprisingly I still use the press today for my rifle loads (one at a time with lots o TLC). Most...

    10mm auto powerrecommendations

    Using the spoon included in the .40SW/10mm Lee Deluxe Pistol Die Set I can pretty much measure 7.3 grains every time by tapping the first scoop to compact the grains and then dipping again in the powder to get a heaping cup. I like measuring every load just for kicks since I'm not in a hurry...

    7,3 grains of CFE Pistol is what I've been using for range ammo.

    A Short History on Inflation - Why Component Costs and No Costs Are Going Down Soon

    Good one to remember (wrote it down in my personal notes)... "Knowing half of the equation doesn't tell the whole story"

    I sure hope this is a joke

    What's the state of the technology to go 'rim fire' on higher calibers and forget primers altogether???? 🤣😂 IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A JOKE THOUGH.

    Gun tipped over on bench! scope broke?

    Check tracking and re-zero it, then post results. I do hope you do this and that all is okay with whatever brand your scope is. People carry rifles with scopes everywhere in the carry bags and the first thing most do when they use them again is to re-check the zero regardless. Obviously, yours...

    Labradar not reading

    I used my son-in-law's Labradar at a local range testing loads at the 100 yd range. I was at one end near a wall to my right and there were 3 beams above and across all lanes 25 yds apart (I guess used for placing closer targets, but have never seen it used for this purpose). I could not get...

    What is your favorite rifle in your arsenal?

    I had to make a very hard decision years ago shifting my priorities to God, family & country when I decided to emigrate to the US from Venezuela. The United States is my country now and I don't want to lose it also. I'm concerned about what is happening today between political parties and their...

    What’s your five? 5 Calibers to do it all...

    .22LR and shotgun aside, I would go with 7mm RM, 6.5CM, (my current go-to rifles) and I would add 308, 30-06 & 270. No elephant guns since I don't have any hope of making it to Africa anytime soon.

    30,000 FED210 Primers Gone in 3 day's

    People must be hoarding and some reselling on GunBroker and eBay to make a fast buck at the expense of those of us who really need to reload.

    30,000 FED210 Primers Gone in 3 day's

    Once again it's being introduced as has been several times in the past. No co-sponsors to this bill and the reason it never moves forward. Lucky for us, yet... it has to be watched to make sure it doesn't go an inch forward. It's a good idea to write to your congressman an reiterate that they...
