Wow. I shot my first reloads today. 9mm 115gr plated with 4.5 gr of Win 231 and CCI 500 primers. Very accurate and cycled my G19 perfectly. We did have one primer fail to ignite, but that was the very first round loaded in my wife's Glock 19 so who knows. I dropped a few primers on the ground in...

Hi all. I am getting ready to start loading for my 1:9 twist 16 inch AR. I am a little lost as to what it will shoot best. I have tried it with several 55gr factory loads and 1 62gr factory load. The 62's shot best, but obviously hard to find a variance of that on the shelves. I am going to...

Hi all. I have never shot my AR at distance or honestly spent much time with it until last week at an Appleseed KD. I decided to go with Battle Sight Zero 25/300, but I had already moved my front sight previously and didn't really have time to zero properly. At any rate I plan to do that before...

I have an issue with the lever that actually feeds the primer. When lowering the Ram the lever hits the base like it should, but it lifts the lever before tilting it it back so it hits the shell holder. I de burred the lever and holder and oiled them to no avail. I have to hold the lever down...

Hi all. I am getting ready to acquire an M1 Garand and am wondering what sources you guys are using for ammo and what seems to be decent and re loadable? I know nothing about them except for the one time I shot one and heard the ping! Thanks.

Hi all. I have finally set up my Lee Turrett press and am going to do a test run of 9mm. I only have 100 bullets so I am going to do that. I haven't ordered a tumbler yet so I am wondering how to best clean up 50 for loading today by hand. Also what is the best tumbler to get in terms of...

Hi all. I know there are one or two other threads on this but I am wondering if there is anything more recent? What works well and is fairly simple? I am doing an Appleseed Known Distance shoot this weekend and need on for that. Thank you.

Hi all. I have done some testing recently and of the several brands I tried the American Eagle 855 62gr Green Tips did the best of the cheap stuff. I need to get some ammo for an event next weekend and don't have time to try different 62gr stuff. All there is around here is 55gr everywhere...

Hi all. I am looking for a free float guard that will accept the standard USGI 1 1/4 sling mounts. I often shoot with the assistance of a sling and that is necessary. Thank you. I am looking at something like this...

Hi all. I have a bone stock DelTon AR with carry handle peep sights, short length gas tube etc. Standard entry level mil spec AR with heavy trigger and all. I hadn't shot it much and I was short on time, but the best I was able to get out of it unsupported and using a sling (Appleseed style)...

Hi all. I just got my lottery slot for this coming season. I will be traveling out there from NC with a seasoned hunter that has family and roots out there who has been hunting it for decades. I guess in short that means I will have my own guide to some degree. At least for travel, flights...

Hi all. I recently inherited my dads 700 in .30-06. I have been mulling the idea of a .223 and have settled on a Tikka 3, CZ or maybe Savage. I got thinking though it would be nice to have a .223 in the same platform as my deer rifle. If I were to look for one would I go older or newer and are...

Hi. I a few random things to get rid of. Holsters, sights etc. What is best? Gunbroker, Armlist, Other? Thanks.

Assuming an AR with 16" 1:9 twist barrel, 5.56/.223 what bulk FMJ ammo seems to be most reliable/accurate etc.? I know this may not even be quantifiable, but is there a brand that seems to be the best? I know all rifles are different, but i'd like to try a few brands and not 20. Among rimfires...

Hi all. I am looking for a bolt action .223. My question is if I go with a 1:7 or 8 twist rate to stablize heavier bullets at longer range how would a twist like that affect varmit bullets? Mostly will be used for target 4-600 yards, but may also pop the odd coyote at closer ranges. If not I...

Going fishing tomorrow and might to a little target shooting if no one is around. What can we use that is biodegradable and will float? Thanks.

Hi all. I am prepping for an Appleseed Known Distance event and will be using my AR. I have found that when using a sling 30 round mags get in the way. I have been told that it is much easier with the straight 20 round mags. Can you recommend good ones? I need 3. Really even 10's would work too...

Hi all. I have a muzzle loader that was given to me as a kit. I never did anything with it and it sat in a basement for 15 years or so. Well my dad decided to put it together and salvage what was left of it. Obviously it doesn't look great due to neglect, but the action seems to work. He is gone...

Hi all. I am a NC resident and going to DC for a couple of days. We will be staying in Maryland. With my CC permit I am fine in VA, but not in DC or VA. Most I have read about is related to traveling though those areas and having the gun locked in the trunk in locked container separate from the...

Hi all. I inherited my dad's Sears Mod 21 12ga made by High Standard in the late 6o's. The gun has never had a hiccup of any kind. I took her out to shoot some clays this weekend and true to form runs like a Swiss watch. The action is so smooth that the forearm grip falls on its own when...
