Anyone loaded the 85g Nosler partitions in 6mm arc? I don't have a Nosler manual and 6mm arc is a touch on the newer side. Was looking to load with TAC or CFE223 Looking at the hornady manual I have they shows a 87g SP flat base that looks to have a similar profile. They have it loaded at...

So I am prepping to start reloading for 6mm arc, hopefully this week if all goes well. I just got in my LE wilson headspace gauges today and decided to check the headspace on my bass. However the brass did not want to go into the gauge. I ended up putting the brass in, and dropping it, brass...

So I have heard of people resizing jacketed bullets before. The basic process was to lubricate them and then run them through a sizing die most likely intended for lead bullets. seems simple enough. Will this cause accuracy issues with rifle bullets? like cause them to be uneven or...

Just got back from a vacation. Had an impromptu range trip while I was there. Ended up having to buy a basic cleaning kit and some oil/cleaner while I was there. The store I was at, a Bass Pro did not carry the oil I normally use. Got me to thinking. Some of the oils/cleaning products I use I...

I'm trying to make a bullet decision for a new cartridge, I'm getting into 6mm arc and it is a DMR/target type build. No competition, just me having fun. I have never tried Bergers. The nicest bullet I have ever shot has been the SMKs. I have always heard Bergers are the best, aside from custom...

So I think I'm getting close enough now to share this. I got most of my parts in, and the upper mostly together today, still waiting on a part or 2. Been wanting to do a target/DMR build for a while now. Another forum member gave me a good deal on a 6mm ARC barrle, BCG and a few other assorted...

So i had an interesting question today from friend. Hes in the law enforcement field, and is a gun enthusiasts/collector. Question, A bolt action rifle, capable of 1000yds and being effective on 2 legged threats. $1000 or less not including optics or extras. Needs to be 100% good to go out of...

I recently watched the Hornady podcast #73. https://youtu.be/Dbi_MleHCQo The question and thought experiment has been giving me a very interesting perspective on some bullet selection choices i am working through. The question is, what would you choose if you had to pick 1 cartridge, and 1...

So I just got a YHM Phantom flash hider for my AK. I did not see any detents in the picture, but it only had 1 angle so I figured it was in a spot I could not see. I received the flash hider and no detents at all. Packaging said to go to the website for installation instructions. I found them...

Seen some adds for these lately. A dry fire mag for striker fired guns. Lets you keep pulling the trigger without having to rack the slide. Pretty interesting concept. It is a bit expensive at $100, but if its decent and you use it regularly it should pay for itself pretty quickly. I just...

Trying to figure the best way to fix a burr on a firing pin hole. its a Palmetto GF5 series AK. I had a double the other day. It does have a LIGHT alg trigger with a touch of trigger slap so I was unsure if I accidentally bump fired it, or had a slam fire. Went to the range today and chambered...

So I have run across a few interesting things I am looking into. Was curious if anyone else has tried these. Granted these are both .308 options and I am not sure how nicely these will play First off a Hornady interlock, 150g, kind of a very blunt round nose. I would have initially discounted...

So I had issues with a barrel and the manufacturer replaced the barrel. They upgraded me from their standard line to a match grade barrel, a nitrided 416r. Upon inspection there is, what looks to me, to be a significant burr around the gas port. Will this shoot out? If its nitrided i would...

So I have loaded for several other rifle cartridges over the hears, but this is my first venture into 7.62x39 . I have my press and dies set and am getting ready to put some loads together to start working it up. I am using accurate 1680 powder. I selected this powder as I will most likely be...

Just bought the tool, want to give it a try. Heard it can help ensure the barrel is straight on the gun minimizing windage adjustment when zeroing, as well as increasing accuracy. Been googling and having a hard time finding much in relation to actual testing, other than reviews which seem to...

Found this video a few days back. He seems to be making the assertion that having copper in your bore is desirable. That it creates a smoother surface to travel on, and protects the barrel from corrosion, among other things. To me his reasoning seems somewhat anecdotal and circular. My...

So I am looking to get a set of offset iron sights for my AR. I am debating on whether I want back up style flip ups, or a fixed style like the Surefire Rapid Transition. My LPVO is using a fixed mount. I don't want to use a QD mount. I plan to practice with my irons regularly, and I don't want...

So I already messaged Faxon and plan to call them tomorrow. I bought a 16in faxon gunner profile barrel with a pinned gas block a few months back as an upgrade from my $90 brownells barrel. Today was the guns 3rd outing. The gun was thoroughly cleaned after the 2nd outing with approximately...

Quick question, For 7.62x39, will using a .311 expander be ok with .310 bullets? I do plan to crimp the bullets to make sure they don't get set back. Explanation, I bought the lee Pace setter die as it was inexpensive and I don't plan to load a lot of 7.62x39. As I understand it, it comes...

Hey. Just heard about this cartridge a few months back, based on my research it has been around for about 3 years now. I really like the performance. 1000-1200 yds on paper. Bullet selection is leaner than i would like, but there seem to be some good options. Brass looks like it might be a...
