I have had fun with my Lee Single Stage Press but when it comes down to it I want a cast press with a little better action and leverage. I am use to working with the heavy built cast progressives presses like the Dillon 650 and The Hornady LNC. Now since I find that I am loading more rifle...

I bought a Target Sorts Tactical Red / Green Dot sight for my MP 15/22, Ar style 22 rifle. Now I have mounted many scopes and and has not taken that long to zero them in. However this sight system has been giving me some problems. The main issue is that I can not get it to correct the windage...

An interesting development from one of the better travel guides. Arthur Frommer I am not yet certain whether I would advocate a travel boycott by others of the state of Arizona; I want to learn more about Arizona's gun laws and how they compare with those of other states...

I really wasn't in the market for another rifle. Like the saying goes I only went for more PMags for my Ar-15. In any event the 22-AR caught my eye and I had both the Colt & S&W on the counter, just looking you know how that goes. As I was ready to keep a little common sense that sale clerk...

I bought my AR 15 back when Clinton was president. I was lucky to get a pre ban Ar but at the time mags were going like crazy because of the pending Brady Bill. Thus I was forced to by those plastic Ram -Line mags. To tell the truth they held up a lot longer than I thought they would. However...

I never had the need to buy jacketed bullets in bulk. I have started to reload for my AR 15 and of course jacketed bullets locally can be very expensive. What are some good sources out there for 223 FMJ bullets. I did find this one. http://magnusbullet.powweb.com/store/page14.htmll What are...

I miss the easy days of reloading when I simple cleaned my brass and then ran in all through my progressive press. Reloading the 223 for my AR with a single stage press has been fun but a lot of time. The case prep is the first new step that eats into my time. I loaded only 30 rounds today just...

For 99.99% of my reloading life I never had to deal with a military crimp except for a few 45 cases every now and then. It was no big deal I simply dealt with the crimp using a Lyman hand held military primer pocket tool. So now that I have finally moved into get around to reloading rifle...

I was in a conversation with another reloader about powder and the question came up, what if you could only have one? While he kept thinking I was quick to say 231. No 231 isn't the magic powder and depending on who you talk to they will say it belches smoke and crud's the barrel with unburnt...

I notice there are few if any threads on reloading for the shotgun. Again this is another gun I have never reloaded for. Maybe it is a good thing or I would be buying clay pigeons and throwers. In any event is anyone using the Dillon SL 900? Can you tell I like Blue? I know there are other...

I did a review of the Glock 27 a few days ago and mentioned that this little 40 can give one heck of a recoil. In fact to me shooting factory reloads it was unpleasant and the first time I never looked forward to shooting a pistol. Well that changed over the weekend. My Storm Lake barrel came...

Well it is time to progress up from the 25-06 to my 30-06. I'm not looking for load data because there is enough of it out there. My question is for those that reload for the common white tail deer in the North East. What is the lightest bullet and make that you have been successful with...

What a surprise today, I had the day off and my youngest want to go to the mall for some books. On the way home I stopped by Gaunder Mt and yes they had large rifle primers and my favorite Winchester at that. At least I like them for hand guns. In any event I had over 300 25-06 sized and...

I thought I would give an over view of the Glock 27. First I will say this is a gun that is not for everyone. It certainly is not a gun I would recommend for a first purchase if you plan on doing a lot of general shooting. This gun was purchased as a replacement carry gun for my Sig Sauer 380...

Today I met a friend who had invited me to shoot at an indoor range in Western PA. It was a nice new range and very clean. I had asked for the safety and range rules and found they were pretty simple. The main rule first stated was eye and air protection which had to be on place prior to...

First of all this thread is not meant to be about how to reload on a single stage press. So if I don't add somethings about safety you understand. I made some plans to shoot with a friend in an indoor range this Friday. One of the handguns I want to take is my 629 S&W 44 Mag. I didn't even...

I didn't have to go to many places for load info when shooting lead. My basic book has always been the Lyman Reloading Manual. I would then supplement that book with the many smaller load data manuals that were given out by the powder companies. Today as I broaden out into rifle and jacketed...

Sometimes when I get bored I take a trip on You Tube just to see the crazy things people do with guns. I don't have to tell you there sure are enough people that I don't want to be around when they are shooting. However the thing that really hits home is the age of some of these people. I'm not...

I was working on a case feeder for my Dillion 650. It has been a project for a few weeks. I started just by adding an angle tube to the current tube, While it added to the capacity it still wasn't right. Then this came along and for less than $10 anyone can make an automatic cas feeder. It sure...

I was just wondering how many people still use the old fashion gun case for their rifles? This was a home made gun cabinet that I still use today.
