  1. what was your first firearm?

    My first was a Steven single shot .22 that my parents bought from my Grandfather to give to me for Christmas. My second was a Winchester model 37 20ga that my Grandfather had bought for my Dad for his 12th birthday. It got passed on to me on my 12th birthday. I have two boys so I acquired...

  2. 7mm Dakota info

    180 Berger VLD and 75.0gr Retumbo. 3070fps from 30” barrel.

  3. A Different Chambering Method

    Couldnt help but cringe thinking about him losing his grip on that barrel and shoving that spinning reamer down into his fist.

  4. "chambered for boat tails" ???

    Is Clay still in business? I know he is not manufacturing barrels any more. If so, you could call and ask him.

  5. USPS Damaged Goods Claim Filing Nightmare

    You are dealing with one of the least accountable entities in the country with the USPS. A few years ago, one of their drivers crossed a double yellow line, nearly hit me head on while I had my wife, toddler, and infant sons in the back seat. Caused $9,000 damage to my truck. She then drove away...

  6. Case mouth belling after FL sizing

    Is your de-capping assembly screwed in too far and your case hitting that tapered portion at the top?

  7. Smokeless Muzzle Loader?

    I think I see what you mean. So the threads get turned down on the end of the plug to form a portion of smooth "shank" which seats against the shoulder inside the barrel and prevents gas from leaking back into the threads?

  8. Smokeless Muzzle Loader?

    I have what may be a dumb question but something I have wondered about with tap vs single point cutting the threads. Keep in mind that I am neither a gunsmith or a machinist. When using a tap to cut the breech plug threads, how do you get the threads to finish "cleanly" where they meet the...

  9. Gerber vs. Buck

    I am still hunting with the Buck 110 that my parents gave me as a present about 30 years ago. I have taken good care of it and it is still in great shape. The blade is pretty hard and difficult to sharpen but holds an edge well. For a pocket knife, I prefer Case XX. When I was a kid, my...

  10. New truck time- looking for a raptor.

    Exactly. It is the emissions regulations more so than mpg requirements. Diesels in the 90's and early 2000's were extremely dependable, long lasting, and got very respectable fuel mileage. Then came EGR and eventually DPF requirements that choked the life out of them. They have come a long way...

  11. John M Browning might have been a sadist...

    I am that friend as well. At 120+ years old, the A5 is still my favorite automatic shotgun not only to own and shoot but to take to the field. If I am not hunting with an A5, it is a Superposed or Winchester Model 12.

  12. Gunsmith Lathe with DRO

    Does anyone have any experience with a Clausing 5449? I recently acquired one and would like to teach myself to thread and chamber.

  13. Best inside neck chamfer tool

    What is your trick to keeping the trimmer aligned with the case? I got bad results using my Wilson trimmer because the OD of the case holders was not consistent. I went back to using a handheld RCBS "rocket ship" tool

  14. Site Needs .243/.243AI Loads & Comments

    My .243 AI load is Lapua brass, Berger 105 Hybrid, 49.5gr Retumbo, Federal 210M primer. 3,160fps from a 28" 8" twist Krieger. I could push harder for more velocity but do not feel the need.

  15. USPS..maybe a record?

    That is essentially saying that they screw up 1 out of every 5 deliveries. Unacceptable by a long shot.

  16. USPS..maybe a record?

    USPS should stick to letters only. They are truly pathetic at delivering packages. I have had them pull into my driveway and blow the horn. If I don't come out within a few seconds and take the package from them through the window of their car, they will drive away and leave a note on my box...

  17. Best Pocket Knife

    I recommend a Case XX - Large Stockman or something similar. I have gotten very used to having three different blades for different tasks. You can keep one extremely sharp for when that is necessary for fine cutting, one decently sharp for everyday cutting, and one can be left dull for scraping...

  18. Lets see those hunting rifles

    It is good to see someone shooting the single shot Ruger's. I have a red pad #1V in 25-06 that I need to pull out and take hunting. They are beautiful rifles.

  19. Range finder recommendation

    I have had a Leica 1600 for years and i really like it.

  20. Regretting Nothing

    Nightforce scopes and Jewell triggers
