    There are gun parts inside every piece of steel. The secret is in knowing which parts to throw away!

    The Krags are just so slick in the action. The skilled tradesmen who built them are sadly gone and very few have mastered those skills since.

    The steel gun safes for sale in the shops have all been individually Police approved for the categories advertised (ie: 6mm steel for cats B, C, P).

    I use 452AA with a 220 grain bullet and no filler. Without going to check my book I can't be specific about the charge but it was about 12 grains for 1050 fps. I also use it in .300 Whisper.

    The nitrated paper cartridge is just a neat and tidy way of doing it. Dropping a correct size lubricated bullet into the leed and filling it up with 2F will work fine. I need to make a mould for my...

    About the best you can expect from a 9mm auto with good ammo is 1.5 - 2 inch groups at 25 metres. Guns like the match-grade Sig P210 will do that fairly easily. Most standard 9mms aren't that good,...
