I just picked up a GP100 four inch and I'm liking it. In spite of the crazy heavy trigger pull I shoot it very well and really like it. Everything about it just fits my hand perfect. I have a Wolf spring set coming and will polish everything up nice on the internals, do the shims the whole nine...

Ok, so I'm new to 1911's but finally bought one I couldn't resist. It's a RIA that has two barrels with accompanying springs. One is a 9mm, the other is the 22TCM, which is why this was irresistible to me. It functions fine in 9mm as long as I use the 9mm mags, but not so well with the 38 super...

I measured the difference in case volume using the water method between my Starline and Nosler cases for 6.5 Creedmoor. These cases were all full length sized with a body die and neck sized with a Lee Collet die and trimmed to the same length. The difference averaged .3-.4 grains. Is this...

I've been having some issues with some bullets being deformed when seating due to the difference in bullet shape versus seating stem. For the most part I've worked this out to my satisfaction, but one of the thoughts I've had is if lubing the inside of the necks would be a good idea. If so, what...

I've been using my Forster seating dies for both my .223 and 6.5 Creedmoor and getting some wide variances of up to .010" which seem a bit much. So I've loaded some up trying a different method. I back off my die by .010 and seat, then measure each round and reset the die down however many...

Just curious if the relatively violent cycling action of an AR has any affect on bullet setback with normal neck tension, or if you should pretty much always crimp ammo for an AR?

I just ordered an AR10 in 6.5 Creedmoor as a treat with my Christmas bonus. Up to now I've only been loading for my Savage bolt rifle and single feeding it so COAL hasn't been an issue with 140 gr bullets. But I'm thinking now I'll be feeding from a mag with its length limitations and a semi...

Hey all, I just purchased a Hiviz sight seat for my Henry Big Boy Steel and can't find any definitive methods from installing them. The rear sight is no problem, but I'm not 100% sure on the front sight. Which direction do I drive the old sight from to remove and replace it? I believe I should...

I'm having such issues with seating bullets for my AR in .223 Wylde. I'm getting variances of up to .010" and I believe it's due to how the bullets are being deformed by the seating die. Ive tried three different dies, RCBS, Lee, and Now my Forster Micrometer seating die. I tried using the hot...

I’ve been fighting trying to make these work and am getting very frustrated. Shooting from my Savage 12FV, 26” varmint barrel with a 1:8 right hand twist. I have these powders available to try. RE 15,16,and 17,H4895,H4350,IMR4350,Varget, and Benchmark. I know the rifle is capable with Hornady...

I just picked up a nice little Rossi 461 with a 3" barrel. I really like the feel of this gun and it has a very nice SA trigger, but the DA trigger pull is a lot heavier than I like. So I checked Wolff springs and all they offer springs for are for Taurus revolvers. Can anyone tell me if the...

Doing some seat depth testing for my Savage 12FV in 6.5 Creedmoor and following Berger guidelines with Nosler RDF's in 140 grain I had a primer fall out after firing the second round. I had seated them deeper when doing the initial testing and had good results in two of the deeper depths so I...

Ok, so I'm trying to determine seating depth for my AR and getting some puzzling results. It's chambered in .223 Wylde and I'm using the Hornady tool to check max length to where the bullet is touching the lands. I started just seating Hornady 75gr HPBT match bullets to where they were as long...

I've come back home to my trusty S&W Model 67 for my EDC. I've been carrying my Ruger LC9s both concealed and in my car every day for the last 4 years and it's been 100% reliable and accurate through over 2000 rounds. But lately I've had a couple of weird failures that have shaken my faith in...

Just wanted to give Vortex some credit for amazing service. I bought an upper from Palmetto State Armory about eight years ago and it came with a Strike Fire red dot. After a couple years or so it started having problems. The red dot worked only once in a while, and after about 20 rounds or so...

I finally sorted through all my .223 brass today(about 5000-6000 pieces) and am looking for any opinions/expert advice on differences in the following head stamps. The largest amount is stamped LC which I take to be Lake City brass, next largest is FC .223 Rem which I take to be Federal...

I am looking for suggestions on bullets that will work with the following powders that I have available for my new to me 6.5 Creedmoor. IMR4064, IMR4350, RE15, and RE17. Thanks.

I'm not new to guns or shooting, been doing it for over 50 years. But this is my first foray into some longer range type shooting, so for my birthday present I ordered a Savage 12FV. Seemed like a deal I couldn't resist. So I'm looking for loading advice, bullets, powder, brass, primers, etc. I...

Just wondering if anyone has experienced excessive primer flow with what should be low end loads in 9mm. I'm working up a load for my JR Carbine using Power Pistol. I started at 5gr and was working up to 5.9 gr, but even at 5gr primers were showing signs of excessive pressure and at 5.2gr they...

Just a couple thoughts. I picked up a bunch of Berry's 9mm 124gr Hollow Base Flat Point thick plated bullets in order to work up a carbine specific load for my JustRight carbine. These are rated up to 1500 fps so I figured they should work good in the longer barrel of the carbine. For my first...
