    Considering a 9mm

    I've been seriously considering buying my first 9mm. I've always been a .45 ACP 1911 guy but I recently shot my mom's Glock 19 and was impressed with how controllable it was in rapid strings. Here's what I'm considering Lonewolf or other conversion barrel for my G23 S&W MP9 full size HK VP9...

    Focal Plane, Magnification, and Mil Dots

    Hey y'all, I have a Leupold Mk4 LR/T 4.5-14x50mm scope with a standard Mildot reticle. I am trying to figure out what magnification it has to be set to in order to properly use the mil dot ranging method. I can't find squat using my Google-Fu, even on Leupold's website. The scope's instruction...

    I'm looking into a multi rifle suppressor for both my M1A and AR15, both of them now have AAC blackout flash hiders attached. Can anyone give any insight on these as far as effectiveness and durability are concerned? Any annoying issues?

    .50 BMG Black Tip AP Load

    I'm trying to come up with a good, very accurate, load for my Barrett M82A1. I currently have on hand some Hogdon H50 powder and 100 black tip AP bullets (690gr I believe?). Has anyone loaded for this particular bullet and if so what were your results? What worked best? I'm also thinking about...

    Suppressing an M82A1

    Does anyone know what, if any, modifications can be made to an M82A1 that will make it safe to suppress the rifle without damaging it? Barrett had planned to release a suppressor kit for the M82A1 but that idea seems to have been scrapped. I know this will void my warranty.

    Dillon Powder Measure Inconsistent

    Hey y'all, I've just started tuning my XL650 to load .308, have everything measured and adjusted right except the powder measure. I'm trying to load the minimum for a 150gr FMJBT on top of IMR 4064, 44.0 grs. However, I cannot get the measure to throw a consistent charge. It varies wildly, as...

    What Happened to the 6.5 MPC?

    Does anyone even remember hearing about this round? On paper it looked great compared to 5.56 and 6.8. Would've loved to have had it in an AR, especially now that I reload. Here's a link to a page describing it if you've never heard. 95 grain projectile out of a 12" bbl at 2800 fps sounds pretty...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Hoping I can get some help with this issue I'm running into. I am very close to having my Dillon XL650 set up to load .308 Win. I am using a Dillon 3pc die set, full length size die, 150gr fmjs of unknown mfg purchased from Wideners, and once fired Magtech brass. I set up my size/decap die...

    Getting a Loan to Buy a Firearm?

    Has anyone ever taken out a loan to buy a very expensive gun that otherwise you would never be able to obtain? I'm considering doing this to get a Barrett M82A1

    M14 Purists... Look away (pics)

    So with a stock and some advice from SR420, and a little help from my buddy with a machine shop and kydex working tools, I have succeeded in turning my M1A scout into an absolute Frankengun, an abomination to M14 purists, and I love it :D Because I am left handed the Juggernaut chassis caused...

    Recommend Beginners Setup

    Ok so I'm the kind of person who likes to buy once and never upgrade. I am currently looking at buying an RCBS Pro 2000 auto indexing press for $568 from Amazon and I plan to reload .45 ACP and .308 Win mostly for the purpose of saving money. I have about 300-400 pieces of .308 brass and a full...

    Reloading Aguila Mini Shells

    My KSG feeds mini shells great, but from what I have heard they have discontinued them because more popular shotguns like mossberg and remington don't feed them so well. Does anyone know if it is possible to reload these and how much powder they use? I haven't bought any reloading equipment...

    Cost me a pretty penny but...

    New KSG, first impressions I broke down and bought a KSG! It will hold 22+1 aguila mini shells (pictured are the 7/8th oz slug variety) and it feeds them absolutely flawlessly. First impressions- It is quite possibly the handiest weapon I have ever owned. It balances perfectly when loaded...

    Tennesseeans! Write your State Reps!

    I think most firearm owners in TN are aware of the bill that passed the state Senate last week allowing open carry without a permit. Now it must pass the house to become law. If you agree please write your reps urging them to throw their support behind this bill...

    Which one of these...

    ... Is not like the other ones... Just opened this box of .308 and removed two rounds before noticing, I had to tear the tape off and the box appears in no way to have been tampered with. Brownie points to the first person who catches it :D
