    Speed Feed Stock

    I like the idea of this stock for storing slugs. Does anyone have any experience on on of these? Also does it bother your cheek when shouldering the gun?

    Ghost Rings vs Bead Sight on a Combat Shotgun

    Can't decide weather to get my Mossberg 590 with ghost ring sights or just a bead. The ghost rings seem to be better for long range whereas the bead seems to be faster on acquiring the target.

    I perfer to tumble after I size to get the lube off of the case. Often there is a piece of walnut stuck in my flash hole. If I don't remove it the cartridge will still fire but is it really a good practice?

    .223 Loaded with 55gr FMJ and 24.5gr H335 Velocity?

    I am not going to get a chance anytime soon to chrony these loads I made so I am just wondering if anyone else has data on this load using an AR with a 20'' barrel.

    Minigun

    Just wondering if anyone has ever fired one of these. I was watching some videos on YouTube of them. Looks like ammo may be a bit pricey :D. Also wondering if any of these actually exist on the civilian market and if so for how much?

    Do you need to be 18 or 21 to get a pistol permit in NJ? I can't seem to get a clear answer on the internet. I know 21 is for purchasing at a dealer but what about face to face transfers?

    Can the ATF get away with banning tactical shotguns?

    I have read a couple of the threads about the ATFs new proposals on banning shotguns on the grounds that they are not suitable for "sporting purposes". Many people are worried that tactical style guns such has the Rem 870 or Mossberg 500 may be banned from domestic manufacture being that they...

    Mossberg 535 Pump Dropping Shells

    I have a Mossberg 535 ATS Field shotgun with a 3 1/2'' 12GA chamber. When I was shooting doubles in skeet today I missed the second target half the time. Not because I was missing the clay but because my second shot was falling out of the tube before I could cycle the action. It seems that...

    Reloading .223 with mixed head stamps.

    I have been making reloads to shoot out of my AR using a variety of brass with many different head stamps. Do you think I will even notice a difference in accuracy?

    Checking OAL

    I was reloading .40 S&W today. I was seating to a OAL between 1.135'' and 1.125''. I also check the length of each cartridge after seating with calipers to make sure it is not too much. I have two questions... How often do you check cartridges for the correct COL? Do I have to check every...

    I have been trying to find some 135gr JHP bullets to make some .40 S&W with. The only company I have found which makes this is nostler but every site is out of them. Anyone know where I can find some? Also if anyone has any they would like to sell I would be interested.

    Why do bullets rise?

    I always thought that a bullet starts dropping right when it exits the barrel. However most ballistics data I see indicates that the bullet actually rises. For instance an AR-15 with the 25 yard zero is supposed to be dead on at 300 yards since the bullet rises and peaks somewhere in between...

    M1 Garand Ruining Brass

    I was shooting my M1 today with some reloads I made (150gr FMJ bullets with 42.4gr of H335). The brass I made these loads with was assorted once fired 30-06 brass. When I made the loads the brass was polished and free of any dents. After firing these reloads from my M1 however I discovered...

    Mixing 147 and 150gr Bullets

    I have mixed 150gr and 147gr 308 FMJ bullets. They are mixed together. I plan to shoot them out of my M1 Garand. How much do you think this will affect accuracy?

    Converting Heat Energy from the Barel into Electricity

    I think it would be cool if there was a way to use the heat generated from firing the gun to charge a battery. Does anyone know of any small scale device which can take in heat and output electricity? What I was thinking of doing with this is creating a cooling fan for my AR-15. Just a fun...

    Reloading Russian Cartridges

    Do any of you reload 7.62x39 or 7.62x54? I would like to but I think it may actually be more expensive than buying surplus. Also brass seems to be a bit hard to find since most is either steel or berdan primed.

    How does a fast twist rate affects lighter bullets?

    I have a standard AR with a 1:9 twist rate. I know this is supposed to be good for bullets around 55gr. I also know that it may not be quick enough to stabilize a heavier bullet. However, what if I wanted to try shooting some lighter bullets say 36gr. How would the quick twist affect these?
