I've been hand loading for pistol cartridges for hunting and other purposes for years. I am now ready to move in to the "precision" arena with rifle cartridges. I have 2 new purchases...

    Ruger M77 in .260, Compact Version

    I'm not at all familiar with Rugers or the M77 in particular so I'm hoping for some information. When my wife and I got married, part of what she brought with her was a stainless compact model M77 in .260. My wife hunted before we met but since we've been married, newborn baby, my frequent...

    Looking for help, beginner reloader

    I'm looking for some help. I shoot a lot, a whole lot and I'm religious about policing my brass, however I've never reloaded anything beyond .357 Magnum with an old manual kit from lee, it's older than I am. I'm not just interested in reloading my handgun ammo. I want to develop loads for my...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Update on previous post Dan Wesson Specialist in .45.

    This is just an update on my previous post. God must love me and all is right in the world. I found a guy through a friend who was interested in a trade and got my hands on a Dan Wesson Specialist and the guy threw in 5 wilson combat mags to boot. Now the range doesn't gets much better, I've...

    Model 70 in .30-06 Question

    Does anyone know of a custom gun maker that will manufacture a Model 70, pre-64 with a precision .30-06 barrel. I know of Texas Brigade Armory but I'm looking for a custom manufacturer who will do fiberglass stocks and has a reputation for premium quality. At this point price is not an obstacle.
