The Seven Project Part IV The. 223 Remington Range Day
A box of Winchester 55 grain ammo, $5.49. A cup of range coffee, 50 cents. A video of your wife shooting your chronograph dead ? …..priceless. I may be reported missing by the time you read this, so I better be a little more precise in my explanation. I had […] [Read More]

The Seven Project Part III "Even more handload Development"
I thought I’d jump right in with the heavy technology and flash some of the exotic equipment that made the .223 Remington workup possible. Here we have a picture of my pneumatically actuated, unidirectional coarse incrementing smokeless powder dispenser. It is manufactured by the famous Mustard company, as imprinted on […] [Read More]
The Seven Project Part II Handload Development
One good reason for handloading the .223 Remington would be it’s small size. Small cartridge size interprets into small costs for the most advanced bullet and powder technology, as well as small costs for material storage and process tools. Is this savings significant? On almost any Saturday afternoon, I can […] [Read More]

This is a crossroads election and, unfortunately, either outcome will take us further away from the basic premises that has served as the foundation of our nation, […] [Read More]
The Remington Model Seven...a great place to start
I’ve never been much of a Model Seven fan. The barrel is too short, the stock is too stubby and it never seems properly scaled to the short cartridges it is designed to shoot. The action is short, but the barrel at the receiver looks .458 Winchester Magnum ready. The […] [Read More]
Freelance Writers on Real Guns
I was surprised by the large number of letters received regarding the article “How Many Internet Users Actually Own Guns?” and by the consensus regarding the underlying problems described in the article. As a result of all of the antigun rhetoric floating around, the effects of consolidation of many firearm […] [Read More]
"SIG and SIG Sorta Lite - P229 & P239"
I really like SIG pistols. They are well designed, they are always flawless in fit and finish and they tend to be very accurate. I began using them in P229 form when the .357 SIG cartridge was introduced, and have continued on adding .40 S&W capability through the use of […] [Read More]
High Pressure load Development & T/C Custom Barrels
Assuming there is a valid reason for publications to always include a picture of the author with articles, I’ve decided to upgrade Real Guns and follow suit. You can see by the look of surprise on my face, time spent with the Oehler Model 43 playing “How much pressure do […] [Read More]
