    How to KILL Disable a Primer

    If you are poking at primers be sure to use eye and ear protection. Not real sure your project is advisable.

    Bretta u22 Eos

    Thank you. I will order one. It may very well do the job as I seem to be the only one with this issue.

    Canoe vs Kayaks for Fishing/General Use

    I prefer a Coleman scanoe. Not sure if the make them anymore but works great for hunting and fishing. It's very stable, good in winter, and has a small electric motor. It fits in my truck and I attach a small set of wheels on the bottom when unloading. One man operation.

    Bretta u22 Eos

    I suspect that your release spring is stronger than mine. I'm going to give my gunsmith a call and see if he can do anything. Nice pistol otherwise.

    CVA MUZZEL LOADER SAFE?

    I will certainly hunt with confidence. I am very familiar with Buckhorn 209 having used it in my TC Encore. You just read some of the strangest things online and if there had been issues with the CVA optima I wanted to know what they were. My optima is not the V2 just the straight Optima. I...

    CVA MUZZEL LOADER SAFE?

    Yes, I figured the optima was good. But just wanted to run it through the forum incase I was missing something. Could not find any recalls. Appreaciate the feedback.

    New rifle choices

    I think a Sako would fill most of your needs. I have been shooting a Finn bear for thirty years in 7mm Rem Mag. Great for reloading and a used one would be close to your budget. I lucked out and purchased mine through a rod and gun club in Germany. Only cost 175.00. The best purchase I ever made.

    What has actually quit on you in the field?

    There is such a thing as Karma. Was hunting with an outfit in Wyoming and was teamed up with another hunter and his spoiled daughter due to weather. I was not in as good a shape as them and they made the most of letting me know. As the days passed verbal harassment got worse. Finally as my hunt...

    Bretta u22 Eos

    picked up a Bretta u22 Eos awhile back. Really like the looks and feel of this pistol however the magazine will not stay in the pistol. Has anyone else had this problem? I think the mag spring is to weak. As the magazine will fall out as I walk and even when firing. Touch the release and it...

    CVA MUZZEL LOADER SAFE?

    I have a CVA Optima safe queen. Thought i would break it out and shoot/hunt with it some. I would like to shoot BH 209 as it is a closed system. I last used pyrodex in it. However I have recently read that this type rifle has had some issues handling pressure and blowing up. Does anyone have...

    Clean Brass

    That is impressive. I don't pick up range brass. I'm just trying to keep my current brass in good shape.

    Clean Brass

    I would like to thank everyone for their input. I feel educated on tumbling media now. I resolved my brass issue by buying new walnut media and Frankfurt brass polish. Made a huge difference. I think I will stay away from the stainless media. A bit more time consuming.

    Leupold eyepiece

    No, it's not a cover at all. Just a screw on ring with a rubber ring around the circumference. Protects the shooter from injury when rifle recoils and gets hit in face by scope. Was made by Alumina.

    Clean Brass

    I would not think introducing a small amount of lube into the cleaning media would be harmful. It could possibly require more frequent changes of media overtime.

    Clean Brass

    Thank you for all the feedback and new ideas. It looks like I will be sticking with the walmart media and trying some of the added steps mentioned. I had purchased some once fired brass off gunbroker and it really looked good and the seller mentioned using stainless steel pins.

    Clean Brass

    I like my brass to be clean, not dirty or corroded. But what is the best way to accomplish this? Currently I am using walnut media in a RCBS vibratory type machine. I find it takes a day or more to really get the process complete. I have been reading about stainless steel pins. I think these...
