      Thinking of a single action revolver

      Guys, I romancing the idea of a single action in .357 to go along with my lever guns. May start looking at LGS this week. Gonna see if any of them will trade against my ss GP100 which I have not used in a long time. Maybe it's the kid in me but seems a SA would be nice to go along with my lever...

      Time for a deer cart

      I guess reality has caught up with me. Last several years as I am dragging a deer I tell myself I need a cart. But the next year, there I am again telling myself I need to get a cart while I'm huffing and puffing one out. This past Saturday I finally admitted that at 64 yrs old the old ticker...

      Was there death , doom and mayhem ?

      Thought the title would gather up some. I've been not paying much attention to the news the last week or so but now that we are one week in on deer season has there been any incidents of hunting accidents involving centerfire rifles ? I saw one or two of the usual falling out of a tree stuff...

      Deer hunting with the 45 Libertarian

      First time out this season with the Marlin 95 .45 Libertarian this morning. I had put a red/green dot sight on it and it works well. The gun is a hammer boys and girls. I'm using (as some remember) 405 gr water dropped hard cast lead bullets. It entered the front shoulder , hit heart and lung...

      Question for you folks reloading the 45-70 1.8 inch cartridges for Indiana deer

      I've read some of the threads on this but have a question. If a fellow was starting from scratch, no gun, no reloading dies no nothing and was wanting to do reloads using black powder , could you just buy a 45-60 set of dies and brass and use those for a "legal" 45-70 ? What I have in mind is a...

      Hunting rifle .357 loads ?

      Needing load data ideas for a .357 load I can use in my lever action rifle and my GP100 , using a Lyman mold casted 358429 Keith 170 gr bullet. I know due to the length of the bullet I'll likely have to crimp on the forward drive band of the thing, so have that figured out.(probably also to make...

      .38 Special-110 gr cast bullets and Power Pistol

      I'm wanting to relaod some brass for my wife's Airweight. I want some light loads to start her as she has a bit of a hangup about the recoil. Anyway, I have some 110 gr cast bullets, and some Power Pistol. I'd like to use the bullets up and the Power Pistol. Due to current market conditions...

      Which press ?

      I done minimal reloading back in the very early 80s for a 30-30 I owned, borrowing the equipment from a friend.Sold the gun, discovered muzzleloading rifles and for the past 30+ years been doing that. In the past few years I have bought several handguns and would like to try reloading again...

      After three months, I finally got to the range yesterday to shoot my gp100. When I bought it I also bought a couple boxes of American Eagle 38 special to plink with.I bought the gun used in excellent condition and assume it's been sighted in, but maybe not. Anyway, at 25yds the gun shoots about...

      Cleaning how to-Tutorials ?

      Picked up a GP100 yesterday and as this is my first "hi power" revolver, I'd like to keep it up and running properly. Does this site or any other shave some good tips for proper cleaning and maintenance ? How far can you or should you strip them down ?

      Leinad/Cobray .410 sXs shotgun-anyone else have one ?

      Made by same company that made the Mac10. No longer in business. Lots of info on the company on the 'Net, how they went out of business, etc, etc. The company also made a 2 barrel derringer or pistol on the same design and they show up on the auction sites now and then. But I see very few (one...
