I received a new World Finest Trimmer for .223 Rem. a couple of days ago. All brass is once fired LC full length resized with the shoulder bumped back 0.002. I’ve used a few different brands of lathe style trimmers over the years and have found the Wilson to be the best of the bunch for...

I have several new stripped AR lowers. Is it legal for me, a non-FFL, to use the USPS to mail one to a FFL since it is neither rifle nor handgun?

Just finished an AR A3 upper build using a take off 20” HBAR 1/7 barrel and a free float tube. Only the barrel and BCG are new, everything else are parts I had laying around. The plan is long range coyotes and 400 yard+ paper punching. Right now I've got a Troy flip up rear sight modified with a...

Just a comment about an excellent customer service experience I have had from Wolff. I had emailed them about a spring set that they don't make at this time to inquire if they have considered offering one. ( I prefer to keep the make of gun to myself at this time; don't ask.) I subsequently...

I've had a Mini-Canadian for five or six years now and it's the bee's knees for dressing out the small whitetails we have here in Texas. I'm thinking about buying another one to give to my brother but then I ran into the PSK. I'm not near anywhere that I would actually be able to handle one...

I bought a very nice Colt Lawman yesterday ($280 BTW) and I'm considering putting it into the carry rotation. I know about the concerns of using .357mag 125gr. cartridges in S&W K frames but what about the Colt J frames? Any concerns about splitting the forcing cone? TIA

Something in the neighborhood of 15 years ago I picked up a round-butted 4” model 19. I carried it until a couple of years ago and then put the weapon into semi-retirement. I’ve always known it’s a little bit of an unusual configuration (been carrying some kind of S&W revolver for 35 years) but...

About six months ago I bought a box of reloading supplies and equipment at a garage sale. In the lot was an older rock chucker that I really didn’t need but, what the hey. A month or so ago I looked it over and saw there was excessive rotational play in the ram and toggle so I called RCBS to...

Who in New Braunfels (preferably) or San Antonio does a good job of parkerizing and/or rebluing of rifled actions. Turn around is not much of an issue and price, while somewhat of a consideration, isn’t as important as quality work. The work is to be done on a Remington 722. TIA

I want to make up some light loads using 100 gr. Speer plinkers and 2400 for a .308 bolt gun. Anybody got an idea for a starting load. I'm thinking somewhere in the 15-16 gr. area. Any help would be appreciated. TIA

Sometime in the '80s I bought a new series 80 Colt GM with MkIV rollmarked on the slide. I have ever since thought that MkIVs were all series 80's but it recently come to my attention that at least some series 70's are also marked MkIV. Just what...

I'm making up a 1911 prop gun for a local play. The gun is supposed to be an extra fancy presentation piece and I want to make the stocks look like ivory or pearl. I have an old set of full checkered stocks that I'm going to sacrifice for this project. Any suggestions on what kind of spray...

What's the going rate for a new, left hand, wood stocked Tikka in 7mm-08. TIA

What's the difference between the various "Mark" series? Mark I, II, etc. I'm asking about the baby 1911s, not the full size guns or that little DA 9mm. TIA Oops, sorry. I thought I was in the semiauto forum. :o

I'm working up some loads for a Remington 700 in 22-250. I'm getting horizontal stringing with moderate loads of H380 behind Hornady 50gr Vmax and 52gr Amax bullets. I'm making nice, straight, five-round lines about 3/4 to 1 1/2 inches long. The gun, made in the 60s, has a varmint barrel and is...

How about adding the info on how to post pictures in the FAQ. I'd like to post some pictures but don't know how. I'm just not much of a computer nerd.

I've just bought some virgin Winchester brass for my 22-250 and I'm going to start working up some loads. After full length resizing, should I fire form them, and then neck size, to work up accurate loads? Or can I just use prepped, unfired brass and expect good accuracy results? Or am I just...

What's the difference between these three models? TIA
