I overheard someone say that 3-gun shooters like for their .223 rounds to be "smokin' hot" for competitions. Didn't have time to question the guys because they were in line at the store and gone before I could ask them. So is that really true, and why would that be?

I just recently purchased my first AR. Have never shot well with the platform and definitely not doing as well with mine as I'd like. I'm trying to find a mentor who would be willing to take me to a range and volunteer and afternoon of assessing what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong...

Title says it all. I need a good, reliable, inexpensive 4-12 scope and have been told the Buckmaster will fill that requirement.

I've recently purchased my first AR15. Know virtually nothing about the platform, but learning as quickly as I can. One thing I am curious about is magazines. You folks who shoot competitively run a lot of rounds through your rifles/magazines. I'm trying to decide which magazines to purchase...

Anybody remember Greg Lamb here on the forum? I bought my first AR back around Thanksgiving and he's been extremely helpful to me in deciding how to set it up and load for it. Nice guy. Once while we were sending PM's back and forth he mentioned he had been active in the sport when he lived...

Anyone on the forum use Rocky Mountain Reloading FMJ bullets? With some of their discounts it looks as if they are less expensive than plated bullets, in some cases. Any users? Any comments about the company, quality or accuracy of the bullets would be appreciated. Chris

Anyone have any idea where Alliant's BE-86 fits in a burn rate chart? I've not seen it included in any.

In my Browning Hi-Power, I carry 9mm Federal 147 gr HST rounds. I'd like to start casting 147 lead and load my own for practice so I'm practicing "Apples for Apples". I've got a chrony, so all I need is to find out what powder Federal uses. Any suggestions as to how to do that?

I'm right-handed................and my dominant eye is my right. However, I can't see my front sight with my right eye unless I tilt my head back awkwardly and look through the middle lens of my tri-focal glasses. :o But my left eye focuses on the front sight just fine. I can't shoot with...

I just purchased and installed a set of Wolf replacement springs in a semi-auto for a friend and it got me to wondering. My Hi-Power has factory springs in it. No complaints. (so maybe no reason to change them) Would there be any advantage to replacing the springs in my Hi-Power? The reason I...

Would there be any problem Cerakoting a parkerized firearm?

I'm not shooting as much as I used to and I finally figured out why. I shoot at my own range out here in the pasture behind my home. The grass is plenty low, but for some reason I lose about 40% of my 40 S&W and 9mm brass every time I fire. It has finally gotten to the point I just haven't...

I recently purchased a CED7000 to use for dry-firing. Tried to use it today when live-firing and was absolutely unable to hear the starting tone under my hearing protection..........even with the timer volume set oh NORMAL. I'm hard of hearing and remove my hearing aids when shooting. Is...

Looking for a good source (least expensive wouldn't be bad) for a new Glock 22, .40 cal, 15 round magazine.

Of the primers available for small pistols, is there a decidedly "most desirable"? Seems like all I'm able to find is CCI.

You guys have helped me a lot, even though I'm not a participating member of your shooting sports. So I'm, once again, asking for your opinions. I'm looking for a good muffler type hearing protection to use both in the outdoors with my rifles and inside in a range with my pistols. Right now...

I've been agonizing about what kind of finish to put on my Browning Hi-Power since I dislike the parkerized one so much. I had finally pared it down to a Black Nitride finish, but it was mentioned the heat from the process would dislodge the barrel bushing. When I contacted H&M and asked them...

How durable is Cerakote? I've got a Browning Hi-power 88MKII that I want to carry. The MKII is parkerized and not much of a looker. Since buying it new in 1988, it's gotten some wear, though I've never carried it. Just how tough/durable is a Cerakote finish?

I need a "bunny fart" load for my 9mm High-Power.......both powder and bullets. Planning on loading lead bullets, but don't know what would be a good brand or style. If anyone who shoots reduced loads could give me some recommendations, I'd sure appreciate it.

Does anyone have any personal knowledge of this guy? http://www.damatocustomstippling.com/#!stippling/c1x9v He sure does beautiful work and I think his prices are dirt cheap.............which is why I ask, because if it's too good to be true, maybe it's not!
