This article originally appeared at OutdoorHub. A couple of months ago we talked about how to reload rifle cartridges. Reloading for pistol calibers, while similar, is even simpler.

Six Budget-Friendly AR Scopes
This article originally appeared at OutdoorHub. One of my favorite lines from an exceptionally entertaining movie, Kingsmen, is “manners maketh man.” You might also say that “optics maketh rifles” and that’s absolutely true. The best rifle on the planet won’t shoot worth beans without a decent optic up top. This brings us to the point […]
How To Reload Rifle Cartridges
This article originally appeared at OutdoorHub.

Yes, .22LR ammunition is a lot more scarce than it used to be, especially those bulk packs of Winchester, Remington and Federal. But just because you don’t see those 300 and 500 […]
Buy Bullets! It’s National Ammo Day
I’m not quite sure who decides that November 19th is National Ammo Day, but hey, I don’t need much of an excuse to buy 100 rounds of ammo. Yeah, I know, you can’t find it. Well, it’s out there. Try your local gun store. If they don’t have what you need, check out Brownells. Or […]

Later this week, I’m going to run around shooting guns in the pitch dark. Just for fun. The Crimson Trace midnight 3 Gun Invitational event takes place far from city lights outside of Bend, Oregon. The matches begin at 9 or 10pm each night and continue until 3am or so. So it will be dark. […]
