Have you all seen this footage? http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local-beat/DPD-Says-Intoxicated-Officer-Fired-Gun-in-Squad-Car-96623064.html Something just doesn't add up. I know the reporter / official story is that she thought she was being taken to jail ... but something just doesn't make...

I picked up a new ER Shaw 16" 1:7" Twist 5.56 barrel today, and brought it home to clean. The barrel appeared to be clean when I bought it, but after 12 patches it was just coming clean. Has anyone had a new barrel do this as well? I would think that being new it wouldn't be that dirty. What...

Can you salvage lead from old car batteries for casting bullets? I know there is a content of Sulfuric Acid in the batteries, but that can be neutralized with Epsom Salt. Has anyone done this? I have 10 lying around in my shop, and the local recycling company will only give me $2 a piece...

I was watching this video tonight, and counted 4 times that the shooter ran a loaded pistol across the cameraman. :eek: Watch it, and tell me what you think. No offense to any present company, but this stuff wouldn't fly in the Corps. I can't believe the Army didn't train this guy better...

After a few days of going through my 9mm brass I've run across a few headstamps and need help identifying them. Could you all please help? ~ C.B.C. ~ RWS ~ G.F.L. What are these headstamps? I may have more to identify before it's over with. Thanks.

Does anyone here load lead bullets in their Beretta M9? The reason I ask is because I don't know whether to order a .355 dia. or .356 dia. lead bullet for my barrel. It's a standard Beretta Barrel, and I heard from a 'lead shooter' that if the diameter is too small it can lead to leading...

I bought some bulk brass from birdzman, and it's great brass but there are 5 different headstamps. Do you all separate your brass by headstamp before reloading, or do you just go with the 'luck of the draw' and have several different headstamps mixed together? I'm just curious, because I...

Has anyone here ever loaded the .356 dia. Hornady 125 gr. HAP bullet on top of Vihtavouri for competition? The reason I ask is ... Hornady doesn't have any information for it yet since it is a fairly new competition bullet, and neither does Vihtavouri. Thanks for any help you might be able...

I'm looking for a target round that is accurate and would be good for Bullseye shooting. I don't like the lighter 115 gr. bullets, and prefer the 124gr. or 147 gr. XTP for reloading for my Beretta M9. From your personal experience ... what is the better bullet weight for Bullseye shooting...

I did a search, and couldn't come up with this exact topic so here I am. :D After lubing and resizing is it ok to throw the brass in the tumbler for another 30 min to an hour or so to get the lube off? I didn't know if it would deform the case in any way, or change the dimensions of the case...

I was wondering if modern .22lr and/or .22 short cartridges are corrosive. The reason I ask .... I was shooting some Aguila .22 LR SUb-Sonic Sniper cartridges this evening, and I noticed a slight black powder smell and smoke after firing each one. I know they are in a .22 Short cartridge...

To make a long story short .... I live in Kentucky. In my county it is legal to discharge firearms on your own property, and there are no laws pertaining to the display or firing of fireworks any time of the year. In other words ... as the law reads ... I can shoot all I want, and let off...

Have you in the past, or do you now own a Smith & Wesson M&P 45? What are your thoughts on accuracy and reliability? Any negatives that I need to note? Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm going for my CCW next month, and I'm looking for a good pistol to qualify with. I'm needing something that handles well, as well as, being accurate. I don't like Glocks. I've owned several throughout the years and I'm not impressed with them. In the past I have also owned a Springfield...

OK. Before I get into this too much I will tell you this. I have already looked at Topbrass and Midway and I cannot find what I am looking for. With that being said. I am looking for 20 round Styrofoam trays w/ boxes for packaging my own .223/5.56 for bulk storage. Specifically I would like...

I know this is kind of far fetched, but bear with me. I'm going to pick your brain! ;) I need a geometric area formula for figuring out how much roof coating to put on a shooting house. If you have a formula I can work with that. We are building a shooting house at a family member's farm...

Don't get me wrong ... I love my Lee Single Stage Press, and it has it's place on my bench that will never be replaced. However, I've been thinking about volume reloading over the past few days. I'm looking into a Dillon RL 550B. Now, there are so many options available for the Dillon, and...

I'm looking for a recipe using either H335 or Tac and the following weight bullets. 55 gr. FMJ 62 gr. FMJ 75 gr. Hornday HPBT 75 gr. Hornady A-Max Does anyone have a 'Favorite' recipe using any of these bullet / powder combinations and 5.56 Lake City Brass? Brand : Wilson Combat, Type...

I have an old habit of weighing a can of powder as soon as I get it home. It all started several years ago when I was shooting a lot of BP and the guy I purchased from was known for his accuracy in dispensing the powder. Here's the thing. In less than six months I've run across 2 Hodgdon...

I need to ship some ammo to someone, and do not know how to do it through UPS. I've read several articles on how to do it, but do not know where to go to get the free training for shipping hazardous materials. How do YOU ship factory ammo to people? What is the process?
