I would like some input on the small bullet makers out there that I might not find easily using a google search. In other words, where do you guys buy your bullets? Excluding the obvious large companies (Hornady, Sierra, Nosler, etc.), I have: http://www.exteriorballistics.com/...

Dear fellow reloaders, I have finally had some success with my first batches of .45ACP ammunition, but I had some failed cartridges, which I set aside, to revisit later. I have now revisited the failed cartridges. The issue with them was complete lack of neck tension. So, I took my calipers...

I have been struggling with my first ever batch, but alas, I finally got a working group together, with a few losses due to improper case expansion, fouled up bullet seating, and lousy taper crimps, but for a first ever loading, I guess that's normal. I finally shot them today, and after the...

Dear reloading experts, I am at the stage where I've charged my cases with powder (the correct amount, for those who've seen my previous post), and am now loading the bullets. However, I believe I've belled the case mouths too much, the bullets just slide down into the case on some, and are so...

OK, I have loaded my very first batch of 45ACP, using 5.4 grains of Clays, the 230gr. FMJ from Hornady, and loading to a C.O.L. of 1.230 as per the Hornady reloading manual. For kicks, I went to the Hodgdon website, before loading my 2nd batch of 50, and I see that they call the MAXIMUM load to...

I am getting ready to start producing my first batch of .45ACP ammunition, and I have all the relevant equipment, but I do not have a chronograph. If I start on the beginning loads, and shoot them to test, must I have worry about not having a chronograph? I'm flat broke at the moment, but I...

Hello everyone, I have now set up a rudimentary reloading station, and am beginning preparations on my first ever load of .45ACP ammunition. I have tumble cleaned all my brass, and am now at the depriming stage, and I have a question: For the carbon on the inside of the tumbled cases, is it...

I am about ready to detail strip my K31, and I need to know how easy it is to remove the stock and all other wood parts from the metal parts. Is it possible? are there metal pieces on the hand guards that cannot be removed? I ask in this forum, because here at work I cannot access many websites...

Does anyone know of a range in the DFW area that allows FMJ firing? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

an extra brass button for the Yugo M48 sling? when I ordered mine 2 years ago, I never received it, and I neglected to follow up on it (got busy, got married, had baby, etc.). Now I'd like to finish setting up my rifle... I'd be happy to pay for it.

I can't access their website here at work...and I want to pick up a K31. Does anyone know where to find one?

This kit is listed on Cabela's website for $699.99 is it a good deal to start with? Or would I be better off buying the parts one at a time?

Can someone direct me to a website or two that shows, with pictures, different ways to conceal carry, and the pros and cons of the different methods? Thanks in advance.

I have an H&K USP Compact .45ACP, and I love it to death. It's a great pistol. However, it's NOT very concealable, and I have tried using an inside-waistband holster, but it's terribly bulky, and it's obvious I'm carrying when I try to use it, unless I'm wearing a heavy jacket or overshirt. Is...

Hello everyone! This is my first post. I am a firearms enthusiast, who owns a Rock River Arms AR-15 w/ the LEO 16" barrel (love it!); An H&K SL-8 modified like a G36 (iron sights. This was a project from several years ago, when I had more disposable cash than brains); An H&K USP .45ACP Compact...
