I loaded a batch of Hornady 500g XTP's using Horandy's 8th addition load data with 4227. Starting load is 24g max 33.3g, I loaded them at 25.6g. My question is are these safe? I went on Hodgdon's website to look for data for the 385g loads and I see they have the starting load at 30g max 32.2g...

New barrel arrived today. Still have some items to get such as new gas block and tube, new hand guard or rail system. Debating using my 5.56 S&W upper receiver or ordering a new one? Looking forward to testing out the .277 Wolverine.:D

There are so many options out there these days and I already own some of those options but I like to have a optic for each of the AR's I have. I own a Burris 5x Prism and a GRSC Combat Rifle Scope (CRS) 1-4x on 2 of the 3 AR's I own. The Burris is great but I would like to be able to adjust...

I was out of the AR "Wildcats" loop for a number of months while I took care of my brother and when I started getting back into things I noticed the nice new addition of the 277 Wolverine. Seems to be another caliber that only requires a barrel change to get it up and running. Curious what...

I was going to just buy a complete upper but I got a great deal on a 300 BO DD CHF 16" barrel and now need pretty much everything else to finish a upper. Is there anything I should be looking for in a gas block for 300 bo? Is a standard AR 15 block just fine? Never built a upper let alone a 300...

I found myself having to/wanting to process a large amount of military surplus 5.56 brass. I am jumping in with both feet and getting a Dillon Super 1050. It has a swaging station built in and can be made automated by adding a motor if desired. Yes I know it's pricey but, I have a few 100,000...

It has been a while since I went to the range and not happy about that at all but, today was a good day! Brought my brother to the hospital to get his radiation and chemo for brain cancer and then went out to get Gyros for lunch!:p My bro can't really go shooting at this stage but he wanted...

I want to get more data then what I have in the 5 books I have. I mainly reload handgun but, I do load 2.23/5.56, will be reloading 7.62x39 and shotgun (Slugs and buckshot). I was considering subscribing to Ammoguide or a big maybe get Quickload? I don't know much about either one or if there...

Hey guys, I have had my G20 for about a year now and have had 0 issues with it. I have about 1k through it so far. I shoot factory and reloaded ammo but, I don't push the limits on my loads. I put a Lone Wolf barrel in it about 4 months ago and it has worked fine. I took the slide off today...

Went to the range yesterday even tho it was pretty windy out to sight in the Burris Prism 536 and test out some reloads with 844T powder. This is a 30 round group at 100 yards from my S&W M&P AR15, Burris Prism 536. A Grip pod bi-pod was used no sand bags or rest. Round fired was 40g Hornady...

While looking in a few reloading manuals I noticed that for the most part TAC and H335 have about the same data listed. I am seeing most of the data within .1 grains across the load range. Is it common to see powders marketed under different names. I know that to be the case with some Hodgen...

I am thinking about getting a 6.5 Grendel upper. I have looked a bit and found that they are pretty pricey. The cheapest I have seen was $750. Anyone know where they can be had any cheaper or is this about right?

I am shopping for a holster for my Glock 20 and some sites don't list any for the 20 but, they do for the 21. I was/am under the impression that they are the same on the outside? Also recommendations are welcome. I am looking for a range holster and down the road if we here in IL are lucky...

I finally ordered a 10mm Gen 3 Glock 20 and a .45 ACP XDM 5.25 Competition. I should have them mid to late week. :D I have wanted a 10mm for a long long time and wish I could afford a STI but, I can't get a nice .45 if I spend $2700 on the 10mm. Lots of ammo will be shot in the next few...

I am looking to do some bulk reloading of target ammo and want to get some cheaper bulk "Pulled" military powder and bullets. Do any of you know the best sites to order from?

I have had a few issues with this press over the 2 years I owned it but, I all but gave up on it when 9mm, .40 S&W and 10mm cases where jamming at the ejection stage. I packed up the press and let it sit for about a year in the corner of my reloading room. I would look at it from time to...

I have been wanting a FNP 45 Competition and now that I decided to go ahead and buy one I can't find them anymore? I know FN has stopped making the FNP versions so I am wondering if there is or is going to be a FNX Competition made? I really like the reflex sight cutout which I can't get on a...

Got rid of my 887 Tactical and replaced it with a Mossberge 500 8 shot Persuader. Cost me a total of $37 for my new Mossy in place of the used 887.:D I would of liked the 887 if it did not double feed all the time but, it is was it is. There also were zero add-ons for the 887 either...

I went with a friend the other day to look at some guns that a older couple had for sale. They had a number of shotguns, a .22 rifle and a Remington Derringer. The Remington O/U is in pretty poor condition with the nickel finish coming off and one side of the grip was broken. It also had some...

I am just getting back into shotgun reloading (It's been many years and I did not get a ton of experience doing it then) and most of the reloading well be 00 and 000 buckshot as that seems to cost more then I want to spend for factory ammo! LOL I have 7 different powders for rifle and handgun...
