    CCI Primer Lot # location.

    I just purchased a box of CCI #250 primers (Lg Rifle Mag) and can't find the lot number. Closest I can find is "40652 Rev C" over the UPC but it doesn't really strike me as a lot number. What say you?

    Tumbler Media, When to replace?

    When do you replace your corn cob media? Truth be told I've probably run 20,000 or 30,000 cases through my current charge in about 7-10 years or so, I just keep adding a little more media and a cap full of Dillons polish every 10-15 uses or when the mood strikes me. The stuff is fairly black...

    270 Winchester brass. Federal or Winchester?

    Which is better brass for reloading, Federal or Winchester? I've generally used Remington but that's not an option in this case (..and really, I only gravitated to Remington because that's the ammo I started with so when it came time to pick up once fired brass.......) . This is once fired brass...

    Looking for .277 150 grain Round Nose Bullets.

    Anyone make/ sell them anymore? Last batch I got were Remington and Speer, probably over ten years ago. Looking for more and haven't found anyone who lists them. (And yes, I know, I should be firing pointy bullets out of my Model 77 and yes, I have lots of 140 gr BTSP's and 130 gr SST's but...

    What is possesion?

    I'm trying to sift through the various bill proposed in NY. I'm looking at S1810-2013: Enacts the Gun Trafficking Prevention Act What is the legal definition of "POSSESSES"? Specifically, Can the minor be in possession at a range if he is holding/ shooting a firearm while accompanied by an adult?

    Local Ban Question

    Below is a statement made on a thread in the General forum that might better be addressed here. I am by no means knowledgeable on Supreme Court decisions or their implications. My question is, if the Supreme Court has so ruled how does it really mean anything? Maybe NY can't ban ALL semi...

    Will this be our "The Port Arthur massacre"

    I've listened to a number of pro gun people say, when the idea of draconian gun control laws being enacted is presented, brush it off with a "It will never happen". I hope they are right. I would urge you all to not get too complacent. Some seem to think that the worst that might happen is a...

    Have you contacted your elected officials today?

    Please don't assume they are going to vote one way or another. Remind them they have your support in defending the 2nd Amendment and will have your active opposition if they don't defend it. I was thinking that it would be a waste of time contacting Chuck Schumer (Dem Senator NY) but then...

    Saboted pistol bullets at rifle velocities....

    Was sighting in my new T/C Impact yesterday. I'm using MMP sabots around 230 gr lead round nose bullets. Now that I'm in the neighborhood I was figuring on fine tuning with 250 gr. XTP's. Then it struck me that I'd be pushing a bullet designed to travel at 800-900 fps pushing 1800 fps+ (running...

    1911, Lead in top of chamber

    I'm shooting 230 gr Meister LRN bullets. I get very little leading in the barrel but I get a lot of lead build up at the top of the chamber, enough that after 200 rounds or so I start to get failure to go into battery problems. I believe the problem is caused when the bullet is feeding into...

    Chronograph outliers

    Not wanting to hijack this thread: Can someone tell me my Standard Deviation for this Load? I have a questions related to the following post: My question, at what point do you decide its a chronograph error rather than a flaw in the load be it charge, variation in case, bullet, crimp, bad...

    ALLIANT POWER PRO 300 MP, Who likes it?

    Just came across it. Have never used it. According to Alliant it leaps tall building in a single bound. My main magnum powder has been 2400, primarily .357 magnum but also some .44 magnum. I've also used W296 but for me I seem to get more recoil and I believe more pressure (cases split sooner...

    Berry's 124 gr HBRN-TP and W231

    9mm Luger Looking for a good target load but does not need to be particularly light. I can go with cast data but don't know how much the hollow base changes things particularly COAL and case volume.

    45 ACP +P in Springfield Mil-Spec

    Saw a good deal (I think) on some Winchester Ranger ammo. It's +P rated and is listed as running 990 fps with a 230 gr hollow point. Anyone run +P's through a Mil-Spec? Would not be a steady diet, maybe 50 rounds a year. Too hot?
