    Anyone else have shiny iron sights? What do you do?

But on the rear sight, the aperture sight gets glossy and the sun sends a beam of light into it so I...

    Can I reload for .223 and .308?

    Im setting up to reload for .308, while im at it, I figure why not order some brass, and bullets for the AR, since some recipes will use the same primers and powders correct? P.S. My local gun shop has old old bullets in plastic containers with the labels falling off. Some kinda newish...
