      Ranges

      Schrader's Outdoors in Henderson, MD has an assortment of ranges. See http://schradersoutdoors.com/ for full info on what's available and costs. Great Sporting Clays and a Bow Hunting Trail with lifelike targets are the biggest draw but they also offer hunting. Pintail Point, just off Rt. 50...

      FFL in Queen Anne's?

      Royce is a good guy. Not sure exactly what he charges for a transfer but I believe that it is the most reasonable price that you will find in the area. E-mail him at Centreville Gunsmith, raherman1 at verizon.net if you are interested. Warning: he is really busy so don't expect a very quick...

      Chesapeake Guns Grasonville

      Several years ago, I bought my first pair of SAA revolvers from Mark & Mona at Chesapeake Guns. It was a pleasant experience since then I have always had a pleasant chat, especially with Mona, if they don't happen to be swamped at the time I drop in. Since then, I have bought more artillery...

      Help a newbe out.... 45 or 357 sig

      For whatever it is worth, the .357 Sig is used by the U.S. Secret Service. I have no idea why they picked that one. I found it interesting that the muzzle blast and flash from the .357 Sig GREATLY exceeds that of my 1911 .45 ACP. :tdown: My son-in-law and I shot those side by side and I...

      National Association for Gun rights

      Thanks for the tip. I must have done something wrong in my search attempt as I got nothing. Oh, well. Sorry for the dupe.:sad20:

      National Association for Gun rights

      I suddenly started receiving mail from this group. Naturally, they are asking for donations. I vaguely recall a thread somewhere that addressed this or a similar-sounding organization that had some negative things to say about it. Cannot find it now. Don't even recall which forum it was in...

      Primers High Cost

      Primer cost update Thanks for the input. I went to Powder Valley and found their primer cost was only $25/1000 for small pistol primers. Hazmat fee was $27.50. Purchase a mere 2000 primers and it beats Bass Pro all hollow even with shipping and hazmat added in. (Yeah, I really got ripped...

      Primers High Cost

      Just paid $49.95 plus tax for a carton of 1000 Winchester Small Pistol Primers at Bass Pro. I think that I got "took" but can't do anything about it now. This is higher than ordering on-line with Midway even taking the hazmat charge into account. :mad54: Seems that I need to pay better...

      Progressive loaders

      See the Lee Loadmaster thread in this section. It will give you some considerable pause on getting one of them. The Dillon or Hornady is well worth the additional cost in keeping your blood pressure down.

      Thoughts on Lee Loadmaster?

      The Lee powder drop die is, of course, designed to work with either of the Lee powder measures. It is unlikely to work with another companys powder measure. Presumably, other companies have their own powder drop die that will probably work in the Lee press. I have no experience with that. The...

      Thoughts on Lee Loadmaster?

      Lee Loadmaster Warning If you are not mechanically inclined, you may want to avoid the Lee Loadmaster. It is VERY touchy about setup initially and will give you fits until you finally get it right. :mad54: Once it is setup properly, the biggest problem is the plastic primer feed mechanism...

      Speaking Of Lead ? Where do you get yours ?

      Do NOT use wheel weight lead for muzzleloaders. It is too hard and will not upset enough to fill the bore. This includes cap & ball pistols. Of course, the exception to this is with patched bullets. Patched bullets do not need to upset the lead to fill the bore. .58 cal minie balls made from...

      Lee 1000 Reloading Press Can Suck a Fat one!! Anyone Selling a Used Press?

      Lee LoadMaster Update OK, folks, here's an update to the above post. BTW, the trough redesign happened sometime earlier this year. Don't know exactly when. I installed the redesigned primer trough assembly and reloaded 60 rounds of .357 Magnum without a hitch. Granted, this is not...

      Lee 1000 Reloading Press Can Suck a Fat one!! Anyone Selling a Used Press?

      Lee Primer Trough Assembly Redesigned I have a Lee LoadMaster progressive at which I have done my share of swearing. :mad54: It does take some effort to get it set up correctly. I recently found out that Lee has completely redesigned the Primer Trough Assembly because of the malfunction...

      not clean .223 brass?

      Cut some used (or new) dryer sheets into strips and put them into your tumbler. They will remove about 90% of the dirt and dust and your casings will come out much cleaner, without the coating of dust on them. You will see the strips get dirty, indicating that they are working. Remove the...
