      Geaux hard holsters still around?

      I'll put in a strong 'second' for Kee at RM Holsters. Great service and a quality holster. Just picked up two more. Thanks Kee! Lanny

      WTB: Reloading equipment - shotgun

      I have a MEC Grabber (progressive) in 28ga that I would sell reasonably, and I have a 20ga MEC Sizemaster I will also let go reasonably. I am in Prairieville, and will send you a PM.

      Rest in peace, Steve Campbell AKA LSP972

      I met Steve a few years ago but knew of him before ever doing so. He did not disappoint in person when we did meet. He visited La Gun & Reloading occasionally in the months and weeks following his diagnosis and surgeries. He maintained his personality and wit despite the knowledge of his...

      Cajun Action Shooting USPSA Oct 9 @ Palo Alto

      Its pretty hard to stuff 8 bays stringing out over 200 yards into one picture. Maybe a description will help. Most are 25 yds wide, 25 yards deep with 12' berms. Plenty of room outside the bays. Come take a look. Lanny

      finding an over under

      Clem I'm hooked on sporting clays too, and after spending a bunch more than I'd like to admit on sporting guns, here is my advice. Be realistic. Sub 1k quality over/unders are super rare. The Turkish guns are too light (hunting guns) or swing like a fence post (very poor balance). They are...

      @ Palo Alto Members

      I would say highpower silhouette would not be likely Dustin. Sorry. If/when we shoot steel it will be pistol only and within safe berms. Anything beyond that hurdle is too far away to consider now. Lanny

      @ Palo Alto Members

      No new news at the meeting. The club is still very much interested in building the 200yd range and new pistol complex.....but it takes time, money and weather; as well as the right contractor/builder. Nothing could be done till the spring anyway when the ground dries up. With the new renewal...

      Advice sought on precision 22lr competition rifle

      If you want to be competitive, look at an Anschutz mod 54, find an old Rem 40-x or buy a used bench rest rifle. Get a minimum of 24x target scope, then start testing individual lots of good ammo. Ammo is where the game is won or lost. Forget about a 10-22. Lanny

      Reloading question

      Ivan As others have said, no problem with the short cases. Just load and shoot and don't worry about it. There is a lot of 223 or 556 brass out there and all of it isn't great. What brand is on the case head? Lanny

      Forster Co-Ax press

      Bryan is correct. Before fancy shims and shell holders came along, folks just loosened the lock ring and turned the die down a little at a time. It still works just fine in a Forster or RCBS. Re-reading your post, I don't see any mention of using a bump gage or a headspace gage. You must...

      Uh. Causes for case damage?

      The 'gashes' shown in the picture above (post #6) are classic ejector swipes. It could be a sign of high pressure, but just as likely soft brass or a rough bolt face/ejector. Under pressure brass flows into the hole occupied by the spring loaded ejector button. When the bolt unlocks and...
