Help! Stuck Dove Tail Sight
Need some advise. I am trying to install a rear iron sight on a old 22 WMR that I'm trying to sell. I got it about 1/3 in and it has stopped. I've tried pushing it back out the other way with no luck. Suggestions? -
Partial Powder Cans
What does everyone do with your partial left over cans of powder? Specifically powder that 1) You can't get anymore or 2) you will never use again. Currently I have a third to half a pound of RL 22 that I have zero use for. I used it in my 7 mag when I was shooting 162 ELD-X's. Well I ran out...- Hams42

Hunting/Outdoors Mentor Misses
I am in the process of planning out a new load for one of my rifles and it caused me to think about how I was taught to shoot and the ammo we would use growing up. I am very particular about my ammunition these days. In fact it's just as much of a hobby as shooting is. I've started down the...- Hams42

N-Frame 329PD Air light (44 Mag) vs Gen 4 Glock 20 (10mm)

Saying goodbye to hard hunting this fall
Well this is the year that I'm sure I'll draw LE tags. Never thought I would hope not to draw tags but at the ripe old age of 28 this guy gets to have hip surgery in the next month or so. Going to be down until mid October if I'm able to have the surgery in May. I feel bummer about it but at...- Hams42

New To Slug Guns Need Some Input
I found a nice little white tail spot last year. The only thing is it's shotgun/archery only. I don't want to start carrying my bow in my truck during rifle season but another shotgun is no big deal. I have not spent any real time hunting with a shotgun for deer before. I do have a Rem 870... -

Moisture In Primers? Failure to Ignite
So I've had about a dozen Primers fail to ignite out of the last 100 rounds I've loaded. I have tried three different boxes and two different guns and still have the issue.

.308 Shorty Load Development/Data
I will start with that I am a Bergara fan boy. I have had 5 Bergara rifles and all but one so far has been an awesome gun. The one I had issues with was a MG Micro Lite in 6.5 PRC 18" barrel. That was a dumb and expensive mistake. I had lots of issues with it and Bergara and I came to an...- Hams42

Trouble Chambering Rounds/Brass 6.5 PRC
I am having issues with some 6.5 PRC loads. I'll start with the fact that factory loads have no issues cycling and it's a very smooth action. My reloads however are not so smooth. Out of 35 rounds I made about 2/5 are not able to chamber. I have practically no movement when I go to push the bolt...- Hams42

Hot Feet! On The Hunt For New Boots
Well I think it's time for new boots. I'm currently prepping for sheep hunting this fall and went on about a 7 mile shed hunt today. The Kenetrek mountain extremes that I've been running for about 3.5 years just aren't cutting it. I have not liked these boots since I got them. After today though...- Hams42
