      I'm gonna be a jerk here and challenge this article. We are ultimately responsible for electing these people, tolerating their behavior, and giving them the marching orders that often lead to some of the bizarre things they do. I'm not saying that they system doesn't corrupt people, or at...

      How can shooting be funner for women?

      Definitely some women take to shooting and some don't, just like with men. But it helps to get started easy. Don't expect someone new to the sport to get into it the same way you do. Go somewhere close, somewhere easy, not too many rules, not too much noise, not too much recoil, and then do...

      has anyone called in squirrels?

      I haven't had luck calling either but have no reason to doubt it would work if done correctly. Many animals communicate vocally but you do have to learn their language to converse with them. I've had luck with the sit and wait method, but I've also gotten my fair share of squirrels by just...

      game cameras

      I have a Stealth Cam. The pictures are great and its pretty easy to use. Very affordable from Sportsmans Guide. It uses C batteries and that is a pain as was mentioned already. The first set lasted a long time, but last time I changed them they only lasted a week or so. I'm looking at a kit...

      Barrel twist for AR15 22 Conversion

      I was going to keep the 1 in 9 upper and assemble another upper with the other barrel, but I think I get the point- the dedicated upper is the way to go. I'm looking for a project too but don't want to totally waste the money.

      Trying to decide which 22 target pistol is the best

      The Model 41 has a very light trigger and is a bit fussy about ammunition. I don't know that it would be my first choice for a new shooter. Plus, it truly is a Cadillac. I'd go with the recommendations of the others. The Ruger and the Buckmark are both excellent guns. I have a Taurus 22...

      Stepping up to an AR style rifle.

      The best value for the money is to get a stripped lower and a kit from one of the volume dealers like Model 1 Sales, JT, etc. Around $550 all told. If you don't relish the idea of assembling the lower parts, you can get an assembled lower for maybe $250 and the upper for $450. I can't speak...

      Seating Hornady XTP Bullets

      I seat my XTPs to the middle of the crimping grooveas long as it is the right OAL as XtremeVel indicated. I've played around with seating at the top or the bottom and haven't found that it makes any difference. I've never seen them shift.

      Barrel twist for AR15 22 Conversion

      Does anyone have any experience with using an AR15 22 conversion in an older 1 in 12" or 1 in 14" twist AR barrel? I got one for my 1 in 9" twist barrel and it shoots OK at 25 yards, but is pretty bad at 50 yards. I really love shooting it, and after dropping the $175 on the kit, can't...

      Reloading Table

      Go to Lowes (or your other favorite home improvement store), buy a kitchen counter of the size you want, and get a laminate top. To save money you can get a dent/scratch, or like I did, hit the garage sales. Kitchen counters are the right height, the top is solid enough for a press, flat...

      .243 WIN. Reloading Question

      I don't have my 243 any more and often regret it. I loaded 70 gr bullets for target and varmint shooting and 100 gr Nosler Partitions for deer hunting. It shot both very well. I used IMR 4064, but would probably try a ball powder if I were to do it again. The 4064 could stack up in the neck...

      What is a reasonable time to begin shooting on your land?

      9 doesn't sound unreasonable to me. Having said that, I usually wait 'til 10 unless I'm hunting. I think its the continuous shooting people react to, not the occasional shot from hunting. I kinda wish there was a rule so I'd know and they'd know.

      I'm having a hard time sizing military brass

      Looking for some input from the group. I am having a difficult time sizing military brass for my 308. This is Indian military brass. I sized, reamed the primer pocket, and loaded it once, fired it in my Mauser, and now am sizing it a second time. I am using Lee dies. It is really difficult...

      mossin barrel brush.

      I use 8mm brushes because it is a bit larger than the 30 cal, I found the 30 cal didn't clean very well. (My Mosin barrel is a bit rough). The first time you use it is a bit of a squeeze, but after that it's fine.

      So, what would you recommend for a .22lr

      Ruger, Marlin, Savage, CZ, can't go wrong. The Henry's are awful nice looking. I have a Remington 597 and really like it. Also a 22 conversion for my AR-15. A SIG 22 pistol, a Taurus 22 revolver, an old Mossberg single shot 22. Find a 22 that turns you on and I have a hard time believing it...

      ar .22 conversion

      If you can wait 'til the next Indy gun show JR Parts has them for about $120 which is like way lesss than anyone else. I saw them there a week or so after spending $180, but I may yet get another if they haven't run out. I have the CMMG and like the others, have been very happy with it. Maybe...
