I checked the search function and haven't found what I was looking for. I'm looking for a procedure to reform 5.56 cases into 300 AAC cases. Seems like I should cut the necks off a bunch of cases (using a band saw) as someone suggested. I was thinking that this would be a good time to...

I would like to buy a chronograph. I need to keep the cost under 100.00. When I read the reviews for them at that price on the Midway site, it doesn't sound like any of them work very well. I will be using it outdoors at a range in normal sunlight or shade. Any suggestions on options would be...

I have a rifle with a bore that is dark but has strong rifling. I was thinking of lapping it. I found a product that sounds like it might do the job. It is called Tubb Final Finish Bore Lapping System. Here is a link to the product: http://www.davidtubb.com/ff-kit-323-8mm-cal Basically you use...

I am looking for an antique Browning Model 1910. Something 1918 or a little earlier. Is there a way to tell by the serial number when one of these were made? Hoping there is something on the internet, but I haven't been able to find it. Thanks

I have read about using these dies but can't find out much about them. How are they different from a normal full length sizer? I have a set of Lyman dies for 223 and have found that a few cases will not drop all the way in my case gauge although they function fine in my AR 15. What will one of...

I am still looking for cartridges in 50-70. I have found everything else I will need. Can anyone recommend a black powder starting load? I have 2F and 3F. What would you recommend? Thanks

I have a Springfield Model 1866 in 50-70 caliber that I would like to shoot. Anyone know who sells cases and reloading dies? What would be a good bullet choice? Thanks

I am looking to make contact with some SASS shooters in the Northern Virginia area. I live in Fredericksburg. I am interested in Cowboy Action Shooting but know nothing other than what I read on the website. I would like to meet up with some guys and try out some different caliber guns before I...

I have some 9mm +P cases that I picked up on the range. Is there any reason not to reload them for use as standard 9mm Lugar cases?

I am thinking of getting a revolver for SASS use. If I get a 357 mag, can I shoot 38 special in it and will it shoot accurately? Thanks

Anyone here a member of the Northern Virginia Gun Club? I have been trying to contact them about watching one of their Cowboy Actions matches. I can't get a reply from anyone. I can't get in unless I am a guest of a member and I can't even apply for membership without a member sponsor. I don't...

I am looking for an accurate bullet for my M-4 carbine. Looking for a 55 grain FMJBT with a crimping groove. I checked the reviews on all the bullets offered by Midway and they all sound pretty bad, variances in diameter and weight. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks

I was out shooting my Garand Sunday. Had my first ever slam fire. I suspect I may have had a primer that was not seated properly. The ammo I was firing was my own reloads and it was from some of my first batches of reloads. No real problem other than a bit of a surprise. Any thoughts or comments...

I am looking for a site where I can download a manual for my M1 Garand. I have no idea how to field strip it and what and how to clean and lube. Thanks. I did search the forum, but couldn't find it. Sorry if this has been posted before. Regards

I am looking for a supply of pure virgin lead. Would like it in 1 or 2 lb ingots and 100 to 200 pound orders. Any leads will be appreciated. This lead is to be used for making .50 and .58 cal bullets for Civil War shooting. Thanks

I just hit 100 posts. I would like to thank all of you for the great tips and information you have provided since I joined. What a wonderful thing this is where one can communicate with so many good people. I feel like you are all my range friends. Regards, Terry

I have been decapping range pick brass before I clean it. I notice a lot of people say they clean it before decapping. I use a universal decapping die so there is no risk of damaging my sizing die. Is this a bad practice?

Can a C&R license allow me to bring back a WWI Lugar from Europe? Or do I need to get some kind of importer license? I am not a dealer, just a collector and want to add it to my collection. Don't want to have a problem when I arrive back in the US. Thanks.

I checked the search function and didn't find anything on this. My question is: I am reloading 16 ga black powder shot shells. I ordered some plastic hulls, wads etc. My problem is I can't get either a roll crimp or star crimp. The plastic keeps unfolding and the crimp won't stay put. Anyone...

Not sure if this is the proper forum for this but hope someone who may have some experience with this can answer my question. I have a friend in Europe who has a WW I Luger that he is willing to sell me. If I travel to Europe and buy this gun, can I bring it back with me. I assume the gun will...
