I feel the same way as KWK and Vancelw. The old style site was much easier to use. Just another case of 'newer is always better'.

After using only irons on my AR15 Carbine for 2 decades, earlier this year I got a wild hair and added a small, cheap reflex sight to my rail. As my rear iron sight is a fold down it was simple to add in front and just leave the rear sight folded down. I'm an irons type most of the time and like Six...

On the subject of plinking bullets, I've had good luck with X-Treme 150 grn FN .308 they make for the 30-30 along with some W760 powder in reduced loads for about 2,000 fps. Cheap, decently accurate and with the reduced load, even the ladies like to shoot them in my walnut stocked Mossberg 464.

I've got to agree with Griff on this. I bought both a .357 carbine and rifle in 2009, used Steve's parts and followed his video and both mine came out reliable and slick as snot. So good that my neighbor liked them so much he bought a .357 rifle on the condition that he'd buy the parts and I'd do wh...

As a former Tank Commander myself, I applaud their actions!

The Rossi 92 is chambered in 454 Casull, a 50,000 CUP peak pressure round, so yes, the Rossi can take a 38/44 at 1/2 the pressure.

1st Question. How many high end precision commercial ammo makers use inside chamfered brass in their process? Answer. NONE.

A bunch of us were at the range yesterday and during a cease fire we got to talking about reloading vs buying commercial ammo. All of the guys who only bought commercial ammo used, as a part of their argument, that their time was priced at $XX dollars per hour and when added to the cost of the equip...

Note: Due to mfg variations on the pin that holds the bolt safety in, you'll find that using the 'as delivered' indent in the collar that Steve's peep sight comes with may result in the sight being lose. The correct way to deal with it is to make your own indent by placing the collar in the bolt wit...

I too am a classic liberal and that's why I posted this. While I agree with a lot of what Ysabel Kid has said above, I think that the Democratic Party actually is far left of their own definition of liberal, far left of socialists too. Control of the party rests squarely with the radical communists ...

COSteve

The left has co-opted many words and turned them into another meaning to hide or obfuscate their real intentions. One such example is the phrase ‘Democratic Socialism’ that's in practice closer to the 'National Socialism' (read the Nazis) of 1939. So, it’s interesting to note that in the classic sen...

Thanks for the info and good luck.
However, it seems from your brief that you have a strong argument with compelling facts so I'm a bit surprised that it has gone this far.

I wish Costeve's posts on this subject could be posted all across the internet. Hear all too often the old "maximum velocity is reached in16"of barrel" schtick and the ballistics by the inch guys get quoted the most often. As mentioned slow burning magnum powders in pistol carts can ...

Scott, I have to ask.

It's my understanding that to present an argument in front of SCOTUS a lawyer has to be certified to present to them. Are you already certified or is there something special that you have to do to qualify?

Inquiring minds want to know . . .

I have a Springfield Range Officer in .45 ACP because . . . . well, just because. As with my 30-30, the .45 ACP doesn't have much utility in my neck of the woods. The 30-30 doesn't have the legs for hunting out here where a 200+ yds shot is usually considered 'close.' As for the .45, considering the...

Mine is also a levergun. It's a 1959 Winchester Model 88 in .308. My 165 grn JSP handloads shoot very well in this babe.

I shoot a lot of .357 Mag or .45 Colt out of leverguns at longer ranges for fun and I've found that BC of the XTP 180grn at .230 and the 158grn at .206 is higher than the BC for their 140grn FTX at .160 so I just developed loads for those and shoot them at 200 yds with good accuracy. My leverguns ar...

That peep sight on my 20" carbine is actually quick to acquire for me as it's right there next to your cheek. This summer I was shooting 8" steel plates at 100 yds with it and sometimes I'd see how fast I could follow-up. Works so well for me that I added one to my Mossberg 464 30-30. Now ...

Personally I don't think the velocity gained by a longer barrel is as beneficial as the sighting radius gained by the extra length! Having an extra 4"-8" of extra barrel length with iron sights is a huge factor in more accurate shooting. That's why a tang sight on a rifle is so beneficial...

Remember, your results may vary either up or down as I live at over 6,000 ft and Colorado is very dry so the air is less dense.

They're wandering around our valley all the time. Sort of a nuisance. This guy is from a few years back and he camped out across the street for about a week. They can be a pain sometimes as the kids want to go over and pet them but they're too dangerous.
