      List of Indiana Shooting Ranges

      I just read through my Facebook where a gun shop in Gas City Indiana (In-laws & Outlaws) is expected to open a new indoor shooting range located in Gas City, Indiana (Grant Co.) in hopefully as soon as June. It sounds so far like they will offer memberships, but also be open to the public...

      Rifle round designed/tested to travel at speed of light

      That article was worth a bit of a laugh, but anyone who has been through even a High School level physics class could see some MAJOR problems with the whole idea. There are just too many conflicts with the "Laws" of physics to even get the bullet out of the barrel at anything close to the...

      Another "incident" at a gun range

      I won't be judge to the man for taking his own life, whether it's the man in the obituary or not, that's between him and his beliefs. But, I will admit that I am self centered enough to be "Angry" at him for doing this act at a place I go for enjoyment and relaxation. Not to mention the long...

      Reoading location - Garage vs. Inside

      I'll never tell... :D

      Reoading location - Garage vs. Inside

      Another vote for a spare bedroom in the house, or some space inside. Sometimes I kind of wonder about having all those explosives in the house in case of fire, but frankly they probably wouldn't do any better in the garage either. (Fantasy time)... it would be nice to have a separate...

      recommendations for budget .223 bolt action rifle?

      I'll throw in another vote for the Savage Axis, but with a caveat or two. For the money the Axis is one of the most accurate rifles out there. I've read several threads on the Savage Forum where target shooters are buying Axis for the receiver, because it's very strong and very stiff. Also...

      How many rounds of 22 did you keep on before Sandy Hook?

      I keep between 500 to 1500 .22LR rounds on hand, depending how much I've been shooting. Same as I did before the nutcase, same as I will after the nutcase. Paranoia and Politics be damned...

      Corrosive ammo

      It's my understanding that it's the compounds in the primers that is the "corrosive" aspect of the ammunition, not the gun powder residue like a Black Powder Firearm would have. But, either way as others have said it is a salt like compound that forms that is the problem. I've had an old M44...

      Do I need to pull my bullets and start over

      Personally even though I have a fairly nice digital scale that has (so far) never done me wrong, I keep a cheap little Lee balance beam scale as a backup to check my digital. The Lee has its limitations, and takes a bit of patients to learn to read, but is surprisingly accurate and keeps my...

      precision reloads

      Meh... Don't sweat it on my account. Note the smiley face at the end of my comment. There are some morons that get into reloading, just as there are morons that get into just about everything else. But, reloading seems to weed them out one way or another pretty quick. They either get...

      precision reloads

      "Not like it's some moron loading stuff by hand in his basement. It is quality"... OUCH... That's stepping on some toes there in ammunition/RELOADING forum. Granted there are some "Morons" out there, but I guarantee they don't stay, or last very long in metallic cartridge reloading. :)

      Friend at work just GAVE me 1025 rounds of 22LR

      I may be going out on a bit of a limb here, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear more stories like this come along, and more and more people selling firearms at relativity good prices to people they know who are "Firearms Enthusiasts" The reason I say this is, I personally know of at...

      New rifle at the range, finally.

      I finally after months of delays got to take my new left handed Savage Axis bolt action rifle to the range for some shake down shooting. Sadly everything you've ever read about the trigger is true... it's horrible. I'll be doing some custom work on it ASAP. Also sadly everything you've ever...

      Right handed, left eye dominant

      I've been blind in my right eye since I was around five years old, so eye dominance was never a question for me. I shoot a handgun right handed primarily, but I've also learned to shoot handguns left handed as well (I'm naturally right handed). Of course I shoot a rifle left handed...
