      Muncie Gun Show Jan 27th & 28th

      The Muncie gun show is sold out for vendor tables so it should be a good one. My brother and I were vendors at the last one in December and were pleasantly surprised at how busy it was for a Muncie show. Excited to see everyone there this time around! The following info was copied and pasted...

      Walmart voluntarily turning over 4473s to the ATF?

      According to the article Walmart is shutting down gun sales at 500 of its retail locations. They have the option under the law to transfer the 4473s to other Walmarts selling firearms instead of turning those records over to the ATF as what happens when a FFL holder shuts down. However, what...

      Best way to sell a few firearms from a private collection in 2020?

      My dad is looking to reduce the size of his collection and I have a few things reloading related I wouldn't mind selling off. What is best way to go about doing this in 2020? Is it better to go to a local dealer and see what they will offer up or is it better to set up a table at a local gun...

      Things to keep in mind as I work on rifle skills.

      Hello all, I have been shooting handguns for the last 12 years. While I am not an expert, I am happy with how that is coming along. My rifle skills, though, are non-existent. I have a Ruger 10/22 that I play around with but today I set up a 8x8 steel target and plan to work on my rifle skills. I...

      Did you recently open carry in a store? Post your experience here.

      I know that there is an ongoing thread titled "Where did you open carry?" However, with the recent rush of store chains "asking" their customers to not open carry, I thought it might be a good idea to start another thread in which people can discuss where they open carried and how it went. To...

      Powdercoated bullet sources in 2019?

      I was at the Muncie gun show over the weekend and picked up a box of .44 mag ammunition with coated bullets sourced from Missouri Bullet Co. Last time I checked out coated bullets on the Internet there wasn't too many sources. Most "coated" bullets had a moly type coating on them. Fast forward...

      .308 Win minimum safe distance to hunt

      I was given a Remington 783 in .308 Win for Christmas. I normally hunt with a single shot 12 gauge and wouldn't mind taking the Remington to the woods this year. The maximum distance I plan to take a shot for a deer is 250 yards and I will only do this if I feel my skills are up to it after a...

      Choosing a HP bullet when reloading for your EDC.

      How many of you reload not for a cheap plinking load but HPs for the weapon you carry? I am familiar with reloading cheap practice rounds but have not reloaded ammo for a carry weapon yet. Is there a bullet brand you all like? What is out there since I have no idea what is available in HP...

      Two competitors to the Cabelas-Bass Pro dynasty

      While browsing the Internet for news about Cabelas, I ran across a couple of stories that two new retailers are starting up with the intention of going up against Cabelas and Bass Pro. Don't know much at this point since I learned about them myself a few minutes ago...

      Who sells X-Treme bullets in the Indianapolis area?

      The other day I was browsing the Facebook pages of gun shops in the Indianapolis area looking for reloading supplies. I ran across pictures of 9mm 115 g X-Treme bullets for $37 or $38 per 500. I can't remember what shop it was although the range at Atterbury is sticking in my mind. This is...

      Price of Federal .22lr bulk packs in 2008?

      Hey Everyone! I have a quick question. Can anyone tell me what the price of the Federal bulk packs of .22lr were going for at Walmart in 2008? I didn't start getting interested in firearms until the end of 2008. I remember the 100 rd packs of WWB going for $9.99/box at Walmart. Then demand...

It will be streamed from the Indiana Debate Commission's website, on CSPAN, and over the radio at 93.1 WIBC. I think WIBC also said the it would be on Channel 23 but I missed...

      How far can you shoot with iron sights?

      My dad and I both got into firearms around the same time, i.e. the end of 2008. However, he likes a good scope on his rifles and I prefer iron sights. I have a 10/22 and a Marlin Lever Action that feel so "natural" in my hands as opposed to some of the scoped firearms he owns. My skills with a...

      Purchasing a gun at a self-storage auction?

      I have only recently started investigating the idea of buying stuff at self-storage auctions. Didn't even think about buying a gun there until I ran across this one down in Sellersburg. You could have about knocked me over when I saw the gun to be auctioned off was a M1A. I don't know if there...

      WTB: Lee 4 die sets in good condition.

      I'm looking for a Lee 4 die set in either .44 Special/.44 Mag or .45 ACP. If anyone has one for sale, it has to be no more than $25 or $30. In my mind, anything more than that and I would be better off paying the price for a new set. I could easily pick one up off of either Amazon or Cabelas but...

      Fresh Thyme's corporate policy concerning firearms is.........

      Fresh Thyme is probably my favorite store with Meijer coming in a close second. I have never seen a "No firearms" sign at either Fresh Thyme's Fishers or Carmel location. However, I still wanted to know the corporate policy regarding firearms in their stores so I took the liberty of sending them...

      Waserman Schultz wants a law requiring passing a background check to buy ammo

      Wasserman Schultz wants a law requiring passing a background check to buy ammo I read through the article and I have no words. I'm not surprised by the desire for a background check. What leaves me shaking my head is how Wasserman Schultz and the Parkland teenager justify calling for such a law...

      Liberals are organizing a campaign to get Bass Pro/Cabelas to end AR15 sales.

      Cedarville University in OH to allow guns on campus.

      First Liberty University and now Cedarville allows guns. Liberty is better because students are allowed to carry. However, at least it is a step in the right direction in my mind. The article also says Cedarville is the first college in Ohio to allow concealed carry. 5 things to know about...
