Hello all! I have a simple question. What is your process for wet washing your brass? What chemicals do you use? Ok thats two questions but both still apply. I have been dry tumbling for a while now and getting good results but I want that primer pocket clean and I dont want to deal with stuck...

if during the loading proccess a piece of tumbling media(corncob) would get left in the completed round and then fired? would it still fire? would there be catastophic failure? or would powder just not burn evenly? i ask because i almost did this and it got me wondering what would happen if did...

hello again all!! i am back with some progress on my ar adventure as well as more questions. I have decided to eat some extra cost and build my own ar from the ground up. i have decided on a spikes tactical stripped lower because i have heard good things about spikes. i am almost positive about...

hello all! i recently stopped by local pawn shop and saw something kinda interesting. i found a Savage model 73 bolt action 22 for 80 dollars. first off, I've been looking for a cheap bolt action 22 for training purposes and this seems to fit the bill. i know that it was a boys rifle back in...

hello all! i have been shooting for about a year now and now i want to look into hunting. I have literally zero experience with hunting. I honestly dont know if i'll even like it but i want to try and see. I don't have anyone to take me as none of my friends hunt and my family is against all...

Hey all, Got another ar15 question for y'all. The cheapest ar15 I've been able to find has been from double star for about 650. I am actually interested in "building" one. My question is mostly related to terms used for parts. I know I need a complete upper and complete lower. To my knowledge...

I know this is probably like comparing apples to oranges but it's an actual issue for me. I have been wanting a rifle for hitting paper for a while now. I want this rifle to also be flexible and popular (so I can find plenty of doodads to hang on the gun) which both guns can do quite well. I...

I've started loading for 38special/357 and I've run into a snag. I use Red Dot almost exclusively and I'm having issues finding load data for a 158gn LRN using Red Dot. The closest I've found comes from Alliant's website for a 158gn LSWC at 3.4gn. Can I use this data for the 158gn LRN as well...

Hey all, recently saved up enough to finally buy a 10/22. I have two major choices of where to buy that I'm interested in. A local pawn shop where I can buy a wood 10/22 with a 25 round magazine and that is in pretty good shape. It's running 199 but I'm about 95% sure I can at least get it...

Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone knew of some 22lr revolvers that have a swing out cylinder. I've been looking for one as kind of as an aside project but the only 22 revolvers in my area are the heritage rough riders and the plinkertons

Hey all, I've been shooting 9mm for a little while now and have accumulated a decent amount of brass that I'm really not interested in reloading. I could, I have the tools but I only target shoot and even with casting my own bullets I really cant do much better than the Winchester white box. My...

Hey All, I've been carrying concealed for about 6 months now using an IWB Yaki holster. It has been doing great so far and I like it for the most part. However, I recently got a new Springfield XDM 9 and it came with its own OWB holster. I tried it on for giggles and I LOVE it! So much more...

Hello All, Just got a recent addition to my gun family and thought to show it off. I got this gun from my grandmother when she got her new 642. Its a Ruger Security Six 357 from around 1970 or so. The bluing is near perfect and there is a little rust on the trigger and hammer but its all...

Hey all, One of my local Gun Shops is selling a new in box Smith and Wesson 642 for 349.99. I'm kinda new to revolvers(buying them anyway) so I'm not sure if this is a good deal. What do you guys think?:confused:

Hey all, I've been loading for a couple months now and have been daydreaming about my own bullet types and the creation of said bullets. I want to start developing these special bullets but I don't know the legality of it. What are the rules for creating your own type of bullets? I remember...

Hey all, Just got my wideners flyer and noticed a little gem in there. Unfortunately that gem is a modern 9mm semi automatic that requires an FFL. I've never ordered a gun online before and obviously never ordered one from wideners either. So I need some help. I understand that I need to get...

Hey all, So I'm starting to get antsy wanting to try something new. I had read somewhere that some people use Stainless steel pellets as brass tumbling media. I was interested in that but the prices I've found have been a scooch high for my liking, especially when I'm doing this on a whim and...

Hey all, Finally got my six cavity 45 mold fixed. Lo and behold, after heating up the pot and pressing the pour lever, nothing comes out. FUUUUUUUU. I then left it at 10 for half an hour just be sure I didn't jump the gun and still no luck. So what would be the easiest way fix this? Also note...

Hey all! Thinkin bout getting into the AR game but not sure where to start. I was thinking about getting an m&p 15-22 but I`m not sure if ill get hooked and want a 556 or others. Then i started thinking about an affordable way to get into a full AR AND a conversion kit. So long story short...

My first bout at the range was a nightmare. Stovepipes, jams, FTE every two rounds or so. I was there for two hours and only got through 200 rounds.:mad:. Needless to say I was ******! I gave it the benefit of the doubt though because I was using cheap steel ammo( tul and monarch). I took it...
