(Maybe 'Sticky' material???) With the great numbers of guys starting to reload, and browsing this section of the forum, I figured it might be nice to share some sources where equipment and components can be purchased online or where you can "window shop" prices to help determine whether or not...

I have been wanting a 'pocket pistol' (but still wanted at least a 9mm) for sometime now, and I was intrigued with the Kahr's but they just don't fit my budget. Then I found the PF9 which is substancially less than the Kahr, and began doing some research. I got on ktog.org, and it kinda scared...

After seeing a couple of guys over at savageshooters.com re-build and improve their Savage synthetic stocks, I was inspired and figured I give it try since I had a spare stock on hand at the time. A big thanks go out to Elkbane on that site for sending me pics and getting me started! Materials I...

Hello Everyone! I recently made a trade with a gentleman and I aquired a couple of hundred primed and ready to go pieces of LC NM 30-06 brass. My problem is that they are primed with LR Magnum primers ( Remington 9 1/2). I don't want pressure issues with the powder(s) I have on hand, but I also...

Let me start by saying that I currently have 2 .223/ 5.56's and a 9mm AR. One .223 is a custom M4gery, and the other is in the style of a DMR/ SPR with HBAR and 3# trigger;). I'm trying to get my wife to start shooting more, so this rifle could be for her to use to. I also have a 2 yoa son...

I can't seem to get my hands on any specs at the moment, but I'm kinda considering getting my Shilen reamed to 260 so I can save money on brass. If 260 won't work, would 260AI help any? Thanks for any help!

Well, they do exist! This may be old news, I sure haven't seen or heard anything lately... Anyway, I actually put hands on a railed Taurus 1911 today at the local shop! Felt great, of course I had almost talked myself out of a 1911 period, and then they had to go and do this to me. At least I...

I picked up a Savage Tactical in .25-06 with a bedded B&C OD/ black web stock over at savageshooters.com for $360 shipped:)! I mounted a Burris Fullfield II, 3-9x40 on a B-Square 1 piece base w/ Warne rings. Then I worked up some loads with IMR 3031, Hornady 117 SPBT's,new RP brass, and Win...

I recently aquired a .25-06 that is definitely going to be a keeper, and I happen to have a good bit of .270 brass that will never be needed as .270. What steps are needed to neck down for the .25? Can I simply run it through the .25-06 resizer, or do I need to step it down? Finally, will I need...

I recently read that the Federal Premium Nyclad ammo had become a bit of a collectors item. Is that true? I recently inherited a couple of boxes (9mm, 124gr) from a family friend who passed, and I really don't know much about it other than it is nylon coated lead, and it is BLUE! Is there really...

OK... I've either read or dreamed it, but isn't there a way to neck size only with a full length die? I ask because I haven't seen any neck only dies for the 6.5 Lapua, and all I've got is a FL RCBS set. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just curious... would small pistol primers work in .30 carbine. I mean after all, it's practically a pistol round. And while we're on the subject of 30 carbine, has anyone tried Blue Dot with them? I could load A LOT more carbine ammo if I could use pistol primers and Blud Dot...

I got a little bored tonite, but my boredom turned out quite productive for a change! Thanks for looking!

My new #1 Savage 6.5x 47 Lapua w/ pics! Finally got my 6.5 Lapua together and to the range. To date its got 80 rounds worth of load development through it, and it is living up to all my expectations so far. Action is Savage 112SS, barrel is Shilen varmint contour, stock is Choate Ultimate...

I have a 6" GP100 that pretty much sits in the safe most of it's life, but there is no way I'm getting rid of it because it was my 1st anniversary gift from my wife. So I've been thinking about putting a scope mount on it,then I could put optics on, hunt with it, and play with load development...

Has anyone heard what the pricetag on these is gonna be? http://www.kel-tec-cnc.com/news.html I must say it looks pretty interesting, and if priced as well as most other Keltec stuff is, I will have to find a way to get one...

I will be getting a progressive press this year, and I have narrowed it down to these two. I was leaning towards the Dillon because most people just say "get a Dillon," but recently I have read many great things about the Hornady, and they have the 1000 free bullets offer this year, which could...

Hello Gentlemen, Just checking in to see if anyone has load data for the 6.5x47 Lapua. I building a rifle, and I have everything needed except some good starting loads! Thanks in advance!

I am in the process of building a semi custom bolt action. I plan to shoot paper, varmints (coyote), and probably whitetails when all is said and done, and I want something different for the chambering. I stumbled across the 6.5-06 in an old Sierra manual, and I really like the looks of it. I...

I recently built an(other) AR to be my primary varmint rifle (yote's and other similar) and I have an array of semi auto .308's and a .308 bolt gun. Now I want something different, and I have kinda been interested in either a 6mm or .260 Rem, but I have found that rifles in either of these are...
