I am looking for anyone who uses 303 Brit as a hunting ammo. Suggestions on what brand to use also. I am considering using the UMC crap for sighting in, but Hornady for the hunt.

I'm in the market for a cowboy style revolver and I would prefure to buy a Schofield replica by "Navy Arms." But the fact that the single action army is available by so many other companies has me questioning if that is a more popular gun because it is the more reliable of the two, or simply because of the movies. I have fired both guns and am wondering if there is a valid reason why not to by the Schofield over the SAA. The Schofield is the Top Break style for reloading. Yes I do know the extreme difference of how both weapons are loaded. This is just a question of if the Schofield is as reliable as the SAA.

My wife and I are moving to a new city and crime being what it is, we think its time to get a gun. I was hoping for a light weight, easy to use, handgun for home protection. We're two women living together, its just too scary sometimes, and we need to be more prepared.
Any advice is welcomed

I'd like something I can easily change the barrel on for either trap or home defense.

I've been shooting rifle and pistol for years and now I want to get into trap.

Thanks

I've never used one or even held one, but my son was shot in the ear by an 11 year old. He had a hole ripped right through his ear and I took him to the ER. The boy who shot him did not have any ammo, and totally denies he shot him. The boys parents said that my son must have fallen and hit his ear on something. Yea right! My son ends up with a hole straight through his ear and the other boy was playing with a pellet gun at the time. Can someone give me some advice and let me know if this is a possible reason that my son was injured? Thanks.

I do a lot of fishing in shallow streams for trout. I've walked some streams for miles when the water level is down far enough. Sometimes I wear waders, but sometimes I just put on some water shoes or flip-flops? Does anyone do something similar? I'm curious to hear what people have encountered while doing this. I came across a very large Snapping Turtle recently that I was lucky to see before I almost stepped on it.

I understand that a slug is more closely related to a bullet rather then shot like a turkey load because a slug is made up of one large pellet and not a bunch of smaller ones.

Rifles have what's called "rifling" in them to make the bullet spin for accuracy. So does a shotgun need a special rifled barrel to shoot a slug?

I have been fishing a few times but always used other people's equipment. However, I recently went to Wal-Mart and purchased a rod and reel, round container of hooks, round container of split shot weights, and a 6 pack of bobbers.

I fish in the morning from 7:30-11:00 or at night from 6:00-8:30 in a small (55 acre) lake in WV. I mostly catch bluegill, sunfish, and yellow perch. There are the occasional catfish when I drag along the bottom, and some small and large mouth bass.

I usually just fish with live worms from Wal-Mart but I'm wanting to start a tackle box with some artificial lures. Can anyone give me some ideas what types of baits and lures to fill my tackle box with? If you could give me some links to places online where I can buy them it would be great too.

I know that the powder or whatever is in the bullet, but what makes it shoot, and does only the tip shoot out of the barrel?

My mum and dad are going camping this weekend for two nights. It's my mum's first time, and I don't think my dad's been in over 20 years. Does anyone have any last minute advice I can give them, things to take, things to do, etc so that they'll think I'm a genius, and also so they don't come home early and ruin my plans.

If it makes a difference, they're going on a camp site with toilet facilities etc on site. And they're taking the dog with them.
