I have a left shoulder injury from playing adult football as offensive tackle, but still managed to pull off this fully bolt action run with S&B 150gr sp loadings. I had to admin rim lock at one point rapidly before closing the bolt since I noticed the rims overlapping wrong way before slamming home the bolt.

Competitions/matches ISPC - Beginner

15 Upvotes

Good afternoon,

I am interested in getting my black badge and becoming an ISPC member. However, with the current handgun bans im unsure of the organization has been affected due to the freeze on handguns. I can’t find any info about using shotguns in the organization within Ontario.

Is it still possible to become a member? I have my PAL and RPAL, but I don’t own a handgun. I do own a shotgun.

Shooting Antique Webley MK1 smokeless reloads

86 Upvotes

Just a showcase today of my antique MK1 Webley from 1890-1892, using light smokeless handloads.

Load recipe is: 230g LRN, 3.4-3.6g of Win 231, CCI large pistol primers, using 45 auto rim or 45ACP cases (45 auto rim in this case)

Alternatively, I use the exact same load with 200g LSWC bullets as well, and they work just fine also.

Application / Regulation advice Caracal CMP9 in rifle config for Canada FRT possible?

28 Upvotes

Caracal USA - CMP9 9mm PCC

Although it is called a pistol in the video, Caracal produces a semi-auto only variant of their CMP9 firearm. Could this be submitted as a rifle with a stock for an FRT entry, either with an existing restricted barrel, or with an extended NR barrel? The design pre-dates C21. Or is the fact there is a military variant make this too big a risk? If it could be submitted, could stocks of MP5-esque mags and 9 mm barrels from Sterling's banned R9 be used to make these? Thanks!

Shooting 30 Carbine converted Winchester 1905 self loader

123 Upvotes

For everyone’s enjoyment, as titled this is a Winchester model 1905 that has been converted to 30 Carbine. I have developed some light loads as the factory loading, in my opinion, is unnecessarily “hot” for this gun. I don’t know anything about the conversion but the barrel has no Winchester roll marks, only has a Winchester proof mark and a
30. US stamp on the side of it. No other identifiers even when taken apart. Timeline wise, rifle was made in 1906 and the 30 carbine cartridge came out in 1940. So my guess someone in the 50’s got it re-barrelled as I’m sure the original chambering of 35 WSL was probably not made anymore so leads to this. Neat rifle and video for slo motion of the blowback action. Cycled many different hand loads but there was a nice low recoil load that I’m gonna stick with. Just need to find more mags and I’d be set lol.

Buy recommendations Looking for best shooting range calibers (budget)

20 Upvotes

Hi, I’m looking to buy my first rifle for precision shooting. I’m not sure which caliber offers the best balance between cost and performance.
I was considering the .22 WMR because the ammo is relatively inexpensive and it’s a bit more powerful than the .22 LR. However, I’ve heard that beyond about 150 yards, it has a lot of bullet drop.
Would I be better off with a larger caliber? If so, which one would you recommend? Thanks!

Edit: It would only be for long-range target shooting(no hunting). I’d like the ammunition to cost less than $1 per round, and I have access to a shooting range that goes out to 300 yards. My budget for the gun+attachment would be under 2k$ cad.

Gun and gear reviews This is your sign to start reloading

Thumbnail

84 Upvotes

I'm sure there's lots of people like me, who want to start reloading but don't know where to start. It's intimidating at first, especially when you hear horror stories of people blowing themselves up. Maybe you think you need the perfect reloading bench/set up, maybe space is an issue for you.

I'm here to tell you/show you, you don't need much to start your reloading journey ($1000 and a dream) I'm currently living in the MIL's home so I couldn't make a permanent work bench or anything that I couldn't take down with ease. So I built a bench off a folding plastic table. It's a bit janky, and on my first version the press was ripping off the table every pull of the arm, made some improvements and she's holding up pretty good.

I'm a self proclaimed RETARD and I've managed to figure out how to reload 44 mag and it's been a blast, so far I've made 172 rounds, 100 FTX 225gr and 72 CPTC 240gr using H110 powder, my groups are on par if not better than factory ammo after my first attempt, I'm confident I can dial these in further with more tinkering, groups aren't amazing but I'm proud of what I have accomplished so far.

Top left of picture 2 is my handloaded FTX 225gr vs Factory Hornaday leverevolution at 50 yards

Bottom right is my 240gr vs PMC bronze 240s on top

3rd pic is my FTX 225s at 100 yards with Bushnell 1-4 lpvo

Reloading has taken my love of shooting to a whole new level, I'm excited to get off work these days so I can get my next batch ready for the weekend. Where before I started reloading I'd struggle to find something to do with my free time that felt worth it, long time gamer that just doesn't enjoy gaming anymore.

So if you've been on the fence a while or just started thinking about it this is the universe telling you to do it! Money is temporary, glory lasts forever.

I already have an anschutz chambered in 22mag and the thing is under $300, seeing as you can get 25 round mags for them and from what I’ve heard they’re pretty accurate it seems like a fun plinker… I’m feeling pretty tempted after seeing a video Neumann metalworks posted of him mag dumping his the other day, is there something I’m missing about these, any reason they’re not more popular?

Buy recommendations Looking to build a short, handy hunting rifle. Looking for cartridge suggestions

8 Upvotes

Gonna build a short, handy rifle on a JTAC Screech Owl chassis with a 14.5” to 16” barrel. I’ll be using a Terminus Zeus action and probably a Proof barrel. Must be capable of taking everything up to and including moose. I have a few schools of thought on cartridge choice and can’t for the life of me decide on something. Max range I consider ethical for hunting is 300 meters, and moose will probably be taken under 200 meters. Other considerations are using it for coyotes on the farm. (Yes I know each of these are heavy for that purpose and yes I do have a dedicated coyote rifle, and yes I already have dedicated hunting rifles). These are my top choices but I’m open to other suggestions as well, although it must fit in a short action. Thanks for any help and feel free to call me an idiot for wanting a rifle that fits this purpose
