Another rifle/caliber in my collection that I have become attached to is my Remington Model 788 in 243 Winchester. I've had it for about 3 years now, and from Day 1 it did good things with 85 grain...
Bob--
I hear ya, sir--my tastes are pretty "old school" as well. As much as it pains me to admit it, them dishwasher-safe bottom-feeding sliders do work, though. Just thinking about Mrs. Al...
I have come to greatly enjoy and respect my CZ-550 Lux in 9.3 x 62 Mauser.
First--the rifle. It's an updated Mauser turnbolt, controlled round feeding and all that good stuff. It has a...
Rocker--
I had a 187 series model--it had 1/9" pitch, as measured via the trusty "cleaning rod with flag" method. I would call or E-mail Ruger with that question, they should be able to answer it...
Hey, Broomer!

I haven't bought a Glock yet--just couldn't warm up to them. They damn sure work, though--a bunch of them are in service at my agency, and they just tick right along. There has been some discussion...
California's laws on the taking of crows make zero sense. In the late 1970's, UC Berzerkly-based junk science caused them to be listed as a protected songbird. Things changed about 10-12 years...
Reloads are not "illegal" by statute in my state (CA), but might not be the best idea for carry use.
There is a gunrag writer who has built his career on decrying the use of handloads in...
First post here--hope to contribute frequently.
I've been a reloader for 30+ years, and a bullet caster for 20+ years. I load 33 metallic calibers and 4 shotshell gauges. I am a recently retired...
