I've been loading for many years, and have developed my "systems" for how to load Handgun & rifle calibers. I enjoy the speed & accuracy provided by my handgun rounds loaded of my Dillon 450 (older, pre-550) progressive loading press. When I started loading rifle rounds, after learning that...

I recenty added a new rifle to my collection..a Remingtom Mod. 700 CDL SF . I'd never heard of a CDL, or a SF designation for a Remington 700 rifle. ( A CDL is a nicer version of the BDL, the S = stainless steel & the F = fluted barrel) so, my new rifle is an all stainless steel, fluted...

I was wondering if this news story was spread to other areas of the country, as it was quite an impressive display. Anyone see or hear on your news about the fire & explosion in Clinton Township Monday night ? Monday night, I turned on the news to see a fireball shooting high into the night...

Not knowing where this would best fit on the site, since it's not firearm related, decided to post it here The link I'm providing covers several interesting stories.. the main story is a guy built a clear plastic V-8 engine, to illustrate how an I.C. motor works... Using (some) real automotive...

well, did you have a memorable " Indigenous People's Day " yesterday ? Wife asked me, was it a holiday yesterday ? as she'd noticed there was no mail pick up ,or delivery. Since we're both retired, holidays reward, of a paid day off, or overtime pay, if you worked that day, has faded from our...

As some that read postings here may notice, I enjoy doing accuracy comparisons with my firearms... I was interested in seeing which of my 7.62 X39 rifles is the most accurate. I should clarify that statement, and say which rifle I can shoot more accurately. As always,... MY shooting a rifle may...
