I've been fighting this issue for some time now. I made a post in the past, but the rifle doesn't cycle completely for about the first half of a clip, it short strokes. Here's the story. Bought myself a birthday/graduation present, and a bandolier of m2. Fired 3 clips, and everything worked...

I recently got a garand. When I bought it I also bought a bandolier of 6 clips(still getting used to saying clip [emoji23]) of "m2 ball" that is ppu stamped and definitely doesn't look surplus. I took the gun out and shot 4 of the 6 clips, and the gun ran fine, with maybe 2 instances total where...

I figured I'd add my "what should I build next" to the heap. I just acquired another ar15 lower, so off we go For some reason, I've got this thing against super poplar calibers, so I really don't want 5.56/223. I've got a SBR blackout, so I'm thinking I'll use that lower for anything with a...

For those who reload in buildings without any sort of central heating heat your reloading area in the colder months? I had to move my reloading area from indoors to a detached garage with no heat. Before I reloaded, we'd just use propane heaters, either a forced air "torpedo" heater, or what my...

Anybody have similar issues? I'm using up to date Android with the app up to date as well. I still get push notifications, but everything just loads forever. It's been doing this for a while.(months) I know the Brian enos forum has a similar issue, but it's an issue with the plugin, and they...

So, I just bought a 10mm 1911,and, well, doing what men do(which isn't always smart) want to get some warm(OK, let's be real, HOT loads) loaded up. The original Norma loads used r123. Looking at a table, it lists h110 as an equivalent... Really...??? Like... Really??? There's no way I'm...

So I've reverently started to carry a Hk vp9 aiwb. It really has made me more aware of my surroundings and making sure it stays concealed(even though no permit is needed here in Wyoming for either carry) The other day I was traveling and stopped at a Gas Station to relieve myself after a few...

Alright guys, I'm a little stumped here. I've read hundreds of pages on casting, books included. I'm gonna be casing for 454 casull for dangerous critter protection. I've decided on 300 grain plus LFN design, most likely gas checked, but not 100 percent necessary( may be, I believe the gun I...

Has anyone run into data for this bullet? It was designed for the 460 s&w, still .452 bullet diameter, so it fits, and will hold up. I can't find any data on anything lighter than 240, which I know is light, but it would be nice to have some "lighter" loads. They're going in a Taurus raging...

I'm contemplating some bullet changes for my 6.5 Creedmoor. My current load is running at 2658 fps(that was at a 20 °F powder temperature) but I have a SD of 2, and an ES of 8. Using 140 Hornady eld's. My question is... The heavier bullets tend to have a higher bc, but are slower, which the...

Well, woke up this morning with my right elbow hurting, this is after decapping and sizing, in two different steps, 1000 40 and 1000 223. So essentially 4000 pieces I just picked up one of those neoprene elbow braces and that helps a ton with the pain, but how can reorganize to eliminate...

Right now I reload 5 calibers, and each caliber/die set I want to have it's own turret. I'm looking for a way to organize all these, especially since I will be adding 3 calibers soon. I was thinking about getting a 2x and cutting a hole so the turret sits in it like on the press(lee classic...

I'm getting a Taurus raging judge in the near future, and am starting to accumulate reloading supplies. From what I hear, freedom arms recommends separate dies(from what I've seen, only rcbs makes separate dies, and there's only a .001 difference). But, since I don't have a freedom arms, and...

Just got this pistol from my grandfather. Hi standard H-D military, left the factory sometime in 1936 according to the serial. He probably had it since the 60's and is notorious for not cleaning things, so it got a good bath and a good scrubbing, followed by a light Lube job. Can't wait to see...

Why would I only be breaking my rcbs decapping pins? I have the carbide 3 die set for 9x19, and their steel AR series 223 dies and I've broken one of each, but haven't broken a single hornady decapping pin and I have theirs in 6.5 creedmoor(both FL and neck sizer) 40 and 45 colt, all with many...

I'm getting a Taurus raging judge as soon as my lgs gets it in. I have a question regarding the primers the 45 colt calls for large pistol primers(according to my hornady 9th) but the Speer manual I picked up at the shop, says magnums can be used. The 454 calls for small rifle. With that much...

Earlier, a post of mine was closed because of posting copywrited images(a poster). I understand removing the images to protect tfl, but how do I post images that are acceptable? I am also on the process of obtaining permission from the copyright owner to post pictures of the poster.

I just got my cutting edge 133 grain 6.5mm bullets in today, and so far I must say I'm impressed. All the goodies that came with it. A poster, sticker and a nice, divided box(to protect their little bulge that's where you seat it) {Edit: see below} Cutting edge mtac 133 grain, hornady 140...

So I'm getting a 454 casull revolver(Taurus raging judge) for them big hairy toothy man eating critters, and most non expanding bullets are hard cast lead. Now, I know that hornady had to make special xtp's for the 454 and 460 because of jackets separating. And I know in my 22lr if I get lead...

This seems like it would be my ideal deep woods gun. 460/454 casull/45lc, and with a 2 1/2 or 3 inch long cylinder, could fire 410 shotgun. 460/454 for the man eaters, and 410 for the slithering bastatds... Anyone know if such a firearm exists? I know s&w's 460 xvr works for the pistol...
