Generally ..... I clean my guns after each shooting session. Unless I'm going back to the range in a day or so. I wipe them down when ever I handle them. If I'm out in the desert or camping or something like that, I'll usually clean them when I get home. Unless they get wet That's about what I do. ...

So sad to see people loose their lives because of (I'm assumming) well, not paying attention. As the #1 rule I ALWAYS watch where my muzzle is pointed. Last year, my good friend Tom, who owns Targetmaster gunshop and indoor firing range had an individual who committed suicide on the firing line. He ...

I found a simple, cheap, and easy solution to this problem years ago: I have the wife do it. All she has to do all day is work a 12 hour a day job, cook and clean. She's got plenty of time for all those mindless reloading chores. Besides, she's glad to do it for me anyway. Joe Goodness, Ask her if ...

Yep, I'm gonna ...

Don't 'Ya Hate Deburring
I hate deburring brass after trimming. I usually do this in lots of 100 or more and its a royal pain in the butt to use the little Wilson tool---flip--flip-flip.....

I'm with Kirk on this one. Not only do the velocities necessitate gas checks but I find gas checked bullets to be more accurate with old barrels that have bore and crown wear. I have an old '86 in 33 that I have never had luck in with cast gas checked bullets. The condition of the bore is less than ...

Mr. 1886, loosen all screws touching the barrel, whether they are from the mag tube, barrel bands, or forend cap. Some leverguns are notorious for stringing, especially as they heat up from repeated firing. The tension on different areas of the barrel screw things up. This is why long barreled rifle...
