Quick question on CCW. Is there a list on the internet of convictions that would disqualify a person from getting a CCW permit? I understand, absolutely no felonies, but what misdemeanors would disqualify a person? Thanks.

I have been doing some deep cleaning in my gun room and came across a 15 year old box of 55 grain .224 Hornady V-Max bullets. I took a peek inside and noticed some corrosion forming on the jacket, just below the plastic tip. I’m sure this wouldn’t affect the accuracy, but I’m curious as to what...

What is the main cause of bullet run out on a reloaded round? My guess is a problem with the seating die, but not sure. For the record: Lee single stage press. Lee dies. 7mmSTW round. Third time reloaded Remington brass. Hornady 162 grain A-Max bullets. This problem might have been present...

Please take a look at attached picture. Note the bottom cartridge, the top one is there for comparison. Cartridge is .223 Remington. Federal brass. Prvi Partisan 55 grain FMJBT bullets. Third or fourth time reloaded. How or why did the case collapse like it did? It happened while seating the...

I’m not much of a revolver guy. Any handgun I’ve owned up to about 4 years ago was a semi auto. I inherited two revolvers, a Ruger Single Six .22 and a Smith & Wesson J frame round butt .38 special. I took the S&W out for the first time last weekend, just to see if it would work. Shot 50 rounds...

I’m almost at that goal of getting half inch groups out of my Remington 700 7mmSTW. Shot this group today, and a couple more just a few thousandths larger then this one. Measures 0.813 center to center. (Those are half inch grids on the target.) Bullet is the .284 - 162 grain Hornady A-Max...

I installed a new El’cheap-o Centerfire brand scope on a .223 single shot. To true the vertical cross hair, all I did was set up the rifle on the floor on it’s bipod, use a bubble level on the scope mount to make sure it was square with the world, look threw the scope down the hallway, and used...

I did the search engine of this forum on this rifle, while there’s some good info, I really didn’t find what I was looking for. I was at a gun show today looking for a semi auto .223 / 5.56 with a 16 inch barrel. Plan to do some “close quarters” to 300 yard shooting. Looked over all the AR15...

Where can I find Hornady 162 grain .284 A-Max bullets? Anybody know of a place that has them in stock? The best I have found is estimated ship date of 9/2/10 from Midway USA. Every other place I've looked just says out of stock. I need two boxes. Thanks.

I’m not necessarily new to reloading, but I’m no expert. I am fairly new to reloading belted magnums however. On the last 40 rounds I loaded for my 7mmSTW, on 10 of them, the bolt closed harder then the other 30. I tried the permanent marker trick trying to see where the resistance was. It’s on...

I just got home from a SAFER USA long range marksmanship class. It was an experience, no doubt. I have never punched holes in paper longer then 200 yards before this, and needless to say I learned a lot. We started off making sure all students had their rifles zeroed on the 100 yard range. Then...

If this should be in another section of this forum, I apologize in advance, and feel free to move it. Just got back from an enjoyable day at the range. I’m signed up for a long range (600 yards) shooting school on June 28th, so I’m working up an accurate load. Rifle is a Remington 700 AWR...

Here’s the “dumb question of the month” for everyone. The down and dirty answer is… Take it out and shoot it to find out, but… Scope is a Leipold VX3 4.5-14x40. I’m trying to find out how many MOA it is between the crosshair and the thickened part of the duplex. Probably 1 MOA, but I don’t know...

I need to travel via motorcycle from Illinois to Phoenix Arizona in three weeks to appear in Federal Court on a Bankruptcy claim. No, I’m not filing bankruptcy, but someone that owes me $17K has me listed as a debtor. I plan to make it a mini vacation, taking my time to get there and back home...

I took my son to a gun show today. We needed a rear sight step ramp for a Remington 514 his Grandfather gave him just before he passed away. We found one, along with a couple boxes of CCI CB Shorts. I slipped the ramp under the rear sight and told him to meet me in the back yard so we can see...

I bought a box of Hornady 162 grain A-max bullets to try in my Remington 700 chambered for 7mm STW. I loaded up 5 rounds each of various powder charges, then noticed on the box end label it says “Twist Rate 1-8”. My rifle has a twist rate of 1-9.5. Opps, will these bullets work okay out to 600...

A posting on the semi auto pistol section about people with back problems shooting prompted me to ask this. About 5 years ago I got into a near death motorcycle accident. I actually quit breathing for a couple minutes, and they had to cut into my chest cavity to get me to start breathing again...

I’ve been searching for 7mm STW brass for two months now, with no luck. Many places on the net have it listed, but all are saying “Seasonal run, currently out of stock”. When is the seasonal run supposed to take place? I’m finding the same thing for 162 grain Nosler A-Max bullets, no where to be...

Being that I am now among the unemployed, I get to see what goes on in my small town during the day time. Wow, I need to get back to work. I’m talking on the phone with my daughter that lives 30 miles away and there’s a knock on the door. I look out and see a grubby, toothless guy on my porch...

I searched the web with no luck. Is there a bullet company out there that makes a 55 grain .224 diameter boat tail hollow point? Thank you very much.
