Re: Vintage guns
I’ve got a veritable herd of shotguns and the newest is Benelli Montefeltro that’s 35 years old . Most of my doubles are 90 or more years old , all my O/U’s are 50 or more years , my four semi auto shotguns are 35 or more years and my loan pump is 65 years . So I reckon they all fall in the vintage ...

Re: Before The Ammo/Components Shortage.....
I really wanted a Marlin XLR in .338 Marlin Express, but I kept putting it off and then they shut down. I'm hoping that Ruger does something with that caliber like the XLR, but as much as I like stainless I'd really like to see a blued version. :D jb 8) When they unveiled them I had both versions o...

Re: Midway says that CCI primers are a discontinued item

Re: getting my head around small primers
Back when I fooled with 22 Hornets quite a bit and W680 was still being made I read somewhere to use a SP primer for better results in the Hornet . I tried it with no detrimental results but nothing overwhelming about them over SR primers .
