I bought a jug of Universal to replace my Unique since I'd read about how it meters so much better. This hasn't been my experience. In fact, I don't seem to have a powder measure I'd say it meters well in at all. I've tried it in my Lee PPM, Lyman 55, and Redding Model 3. I have binding and...

I currently pocket carry a LC9 in a Uncle Mike's holster. This works well with my slacks, but not with my Wrangler jeans. The butt of the pistol is almost exposed at the top of the pocket. You guys could save me a trip into Cavenders if you could let me know if Levi or another jeans company...

I have a Red Dot sight I don't use because it sat too high on my A2 carry handle. We have a M1 Carbine with some play in the rear sight elevation and the front sight is tilted a bit. I started wondering about getting a Weaver base for the M1 and mounting the Red Dot on it. I wouldn't do anything...

My son may have a chance for a feral pig hunt one of these days. If it happens, is his M1 Carbine enough with FMJ or Soft Point bullets? If not, what I have available to loan are: 7.7Jap w/ 174gr RNSP M1 Garand (but I currently have only FMJ on hand) A2 AR15 w/ 1:7 twist Scoped AR15 w/ 1:8...

I'll change Roy's questions from this thread just a little. Let's see if it doesn't even the score a bit... Who carries a semi-auto for self defense that has never, ever malfuntioned? 1000 batting average. Who carries a revolver for self defense that has malfuntioned? Even once? Please, be...

If I'm looking at a lengthy thread and see that I posted on it, how would I go about searching the thread for my post? Is it possible to search a thread for an individual's contribution? Sometimes I'll see someone quoted, but have difficulty going back to find their comment to put it in context.

Does anyone have data for Ramshot Enforcer in .30 Carbine with 110gr bullets? My Ramshot pamphlet doesn't show data for this cartridge. I hope this is an appropriate powder and not too fast. If it won't work, I'll have to add H110 or W296 to my inventory. I've sent an inquiry to Ramshot, but...

Below is a link to a thread on the GunBroker forums that I ran across and found interesting. A rare C&R was saved from destruction by the right people noticing and taking action. Thought some of you might find it interesting too. (I have an Arisaka but had never heard of one of these pressure...

Where is a good place to find a black A2 Buttstock assembly (with spring, buffer, tube, etc.)? Rock River has them for $65 but I was wondering if anyone knew of better deals out there. Seems most of the aftermarket stocks I see are telescoping. Thanks!

This muzzle-loading shotgun was a wall hanger at my wife's grandparents house for as long as she can remember. I don't know if it was ever used by anyone in her family for anything other than decoration and sadly, there's nobody left who knows any history of this gun. Anyway, I didn't measure...

Do bullseye competitors shoot one-handed because they want to or because they have to?

Just a quick question for you guys who have purchased primers on GunBroker recently. How were thety shipped? Were they sent to your door via Fedex or UPS or just wrapped and sent parcel post? Please be honest, as a receiver you are not liable for the shipping method chosen by the supplier.

How does the mechanical advantage (leverage) compare between the Lyman Crusher, RCBS Rock Chucker, and Lee Challenger presses. I don't want to start a brand war so please, no need to comment about reliability, longevity, pot metal or anything like that. I have a Challenger and am considering the...

I’m about to pick up a XD and have a question for those that already own one. Reading about the police chief that shot himself with the Glock made me wonder about the practice of tripping the trigger to field strip these firearms. I downloaded the XD manual and it is unclear whether or not the...

I’m contemplating the purchase of a XD45ACP and looking for some input. The biggest complaint I read about them is that they can choke on SWC profile bullets due to the extracted case hanging up on the “edge” of the next bullet up in the magazine. Knowing that folks who have this problem are a...

Reading the thread about squib loads made me remember this and I thought I'd ask for opinions. Several years ago I was talking to a range officer in Houston about reloading and what-not and in the course of the conversation he pulled from his range bag a few of what he called clearing charges...

What makes a revolver a "flat top"?

I'm thinking about applying for a C&R license, but I have a coupe of questions. Which suppliers of reloading components give discounts to license holders? Are the savings worth the trouble of registering with the supplier as a FFL C&R holder? Can I see the discounted prices on the web prior to...

I have a friend who is thinking about reloading for his Beretta 96 (40 S&W). I though I'd let him buy the dies and start out with a press of mine. What I don't know is if the Beretta is considered to have a supported chamber or not. I suppose I could ask for the pistol, strip it and drop a...

I'm heading to the range weekend after next with a friend's Garand. I would like to have the first shots on paper at 200 yards to save embarassment and wasted ammo trying to figure out which way to go. I can shoot at 50 yards tomorrow and would like to know where it should hit to be on paper at...
