    Best source for bulk WWB in .223?

    Hi again. Well, I had my first range session yesterday with my Bushmaster AR-15! Got the sights zeroed in OK and after shooting a number of brands of ammo, I found that good ole WWB in 55g FMJ shot the best. Where can I find the best deal on a bulk purchase of this? Also, is this the stuff that...

    My refinished Glock 20 slide......

    Had this done by CCR. I'm very pleased with it. Beautiful finish, and for $60, who can complain? :) Here's a link to his website: http://www.ccr-refinishing.com/contact.htm

    Taurus 24/7 in .45acp. Why no ribber grip?

    I had a Taurus 24/7 in 9mm a while back. I thought the "ribber" grip was incredibly comfortable. I sold the gun to make room for a 1911 in my safe, but I never forgot how good the 24/7 felt in my hand. Anyway, now that I'm a complete .45acp freak, I have considered getting the new 24/7 Pro in...

    Blood, brass, and bullets

    It was just me and my single stage Lee press. I had a free hour in which to crank out enough rounds of .44 Special for a range session later on. Man, I was on a roll! Resized them all, and was halfway through expanding the mouths when CRUNCH! I was too slow in getting my index finger out of the...

    Black bear: .45ACP or Broadhead arrow?

    There has been a thread on Glocktalk.com where a fella asked about taking a black bear with a Glock 21 .45ACP handgun. Unbelievably to me, the thread actually gained more than one person who supported the idea. I've included a link to the entire thread, and have highlighted one particular post...

    Do you ever dream about guns?

    Please tell me I'm not alone here. :) After I crawl into bed, I usually do a little light reading before turning the light off. MidwayUSA and Natchez catalogs are high on the list, as are Gun Week and SWAT magazine. Anyway, I dream about guns and reloading a LOT! Not violent dreams, just...

    Glock 21 at the range today.....

    Hey all. Just got back from the range with my G21 .45ACP. The two scoring papers were shot 10X each with my own reloads, using W231 powder at 230g FMJs. The paper plate was shot 40X with Winchester White Box 230g FMJs. Looks like I'd need to bring the POI over just a bit if I were to keep...

    Henry Big Boy .44mag?

    Does anyone here own one of these or shot one? Impressions? I think it looks like a cool gun to mess around with at 50-100 yards. :)

    Best deal for 30-round AR-15 mags?

    Hi guys. I'm looking for a few 30-round magazines for a Bushmaster AR-15. I'm still learning about the gun and accessories for it, and don't want to buy junk, but I also want to keep the price down, too. What's the best compromise of price/quality in AR mags? Thanks! :)

    My RCBS powder measure......

    It seems like it takes about 40 pulls before it CONSISTENTLY throws the same, repeatable charge. Example: I'll adjust it until it's throwing 5.1g of Bullseye, but after a few pulls, it's weighing in at 5.0g, then after 20 or 30 more pulls, it's down to 4.9g and will stay at that charge...

    Any TN residents heard of this dealer?

    On gunbroker.com his username is BRSERVICES. His PO Box is in Cookeville, TN. After an auction had ended, I offered him a deal on a gun which he accepted. I sent him a money order and asked my FFL to send him a copy of his license. This was 2 weeks ago. He got the money order but said he hadn't...

    My biggest scare EVER.

    This happened two nights ago. I'm just now getting ready to talk about it. It was around 11:30pm and my wife and I were in bed asleep. I awoke to the sound of (what I thought was) someone breaking through the side door of the attached garage and entering the house. It took me at least ten...

    Swinging metal targets.....

    Anyone have experience with these? I'd like to get one that can consistently withstand hits with JHP bullets in handgun calibers up to .44 Magnum. Are ones this tough even available? Where? How much? Thank you! :)

    Load for 230g FMJ .45ACP with Bullseye?

    Hi guys. On a whim I bought a pound of Bullseye for the first time yesterday. I'm planning on using either 230g FMJs or 230g hard lead. These will be shot from a Glock 21 and S&W 1911 respectively. I'm looking for accuracy only. Velocity and big BANGS! are not important. Any pet loads out there...

    Can I ship a gun along with ammo or not?

    I'm sending a gun to an FFL out of state, via UPS overnight shipping. Two boxes of ammo is included in the deal. Do I need to ship that separately, directly to the buyer of the gun? First time doing this...... Thanks for the help. :)

    What's your favorite .223 practice round?

    I'll soon be getting a Bushmaster AR-15 and wanted to seek y'alls advice and opinions on what brand/grain of ammo shoots the most accurately in a gun like mine. I do realize that every gun shoots uniquely, but wondered if there was a certain brand or two that most people preferred. Where have...

    Bushmaster: good deal?

    Howdy all. I've decided on the Bushmaster .223 for my next gun. My question......would $800 shipped to me, out the door, be a fair price for this gun? I think I'd rather have the 20" barrel over 16" (even though the 16 is muuuuuch cooler looking!!) Anyway, $800 is my max. Would this gun be a...

    AMERC brass for reloading?

    I know how I feel about this stuff, but ran across a fella who said it didn't bother him one bit. Thought I'd take a poll to see what the consensus was. I predict.........a landslide in the negative.

    Eyesight saved, yet again.

    While shooting this past weekend, I had a .45acp case thrown straight back after firing, hitting my glasses pretty hard - hard enough to leave a good scratch right where my right eye was. This has happened before and I would never dream of shooting (especially semi-autos) without my glasses. I...

    How long is Hoppes #9 good for?

    I found a 20-year-old bottle of it in some of my old boxes. It was tightly sealed and, for what it's worth, smells like new. :D Is it still good?
