I hope that i am overthinking things but i have read that an ar upper and the bolt carrier group have to be “paired” to get the right head spacing. If this is true how can you buy a barrel one place and a “special” bcg another? I am in the process of building my first Ar so if someone could...

Asking about a first build. I have a stripped lower and am looking for a good “kit” to finish it with. I am just a beginner so you have to cut me some slack. I have found this and it doesn’t look too bad https://www.geauxarmory.com/silver-bear-build-p-394.html to me. Give me your opinion on...

Hi first post in this forum. Got a question for the masses. Has anyone had any doings with geauxarmory? Good or bad? The reviews that I have read are good but it is the internet. I will have a follow up question in the semi auto section. Thanks for the replies.

Ok I have been loading for 223 bolt action and still learning, but I am getting an AR next week and was just asking if you would need to load differently for a semi automatic rifle. I have read conflicting information on weather or not a crimp is needed. Do you want to load lighter for the AR or...

I splurged and bought a Hornady OAL Gauge, a Modified Case, and a Bullet comparator. I have measured my 223 Savage FV and my 223 Ruger Predator with a 1:9 and 1:8 twist respectively. Both with a 50 gn Hornady VMax. They both measured approximately 1.809 inches with the comparator, however I have...

Ok I haven't posted for a while (been busy). I have loaded for my Ruger 22-250 m 77 with a 1 in 14 twist with 55 grain Hornady soft points, the brass was a mixture of Remington and Frontier once shot (in this rifle) and full length resized with hornady dies. The powder was Varget at 35.5 grains...

Wow I shot my first reloads this afternoon and I am stoked. The only thing that I have a question about is I used the hornady manual for the reloads and the groupings were all about the same for all. Granted I am not the steadiest shot but they were all one minute of angle or less. Is this the...

Ok I have gotten I think all of the supplies that I need. I have a hornady l&l kit with a few accessories. My first question is: I have hornady bullets that have a cannular in 224 caliber. I have a hornady manual. I have read that you seat to the cannular?(But not in the manual) If that is the...

Ok, I am just about to get started on the "Reloading Adventure". As the title states I will be reloading 223 and 22-250. There is a lot of opinions as to the "best" powder for the 223 and the 22-250, but as far as I can tell about the "best" powder for both would be Varget? I realize that "best"...

OK, Sorry to be such a question monger ... but I have just purchased a Hornady L&L Classic Kit and am confused about which dies are the best if there is such a thing. I am just looking for opinions and why. Not to start any arguments about which is better or not, just others experiences either...

OK I am doing some research and came across this discrepancy in two handbooks.One is the Hornady Tenth edition and the other one is Lyman 49th edition. Here is an example of one of the differences-- Lyman--223 Remington 60 grain Jacketed V-Max: H-335 Starting load = 23.2 grains at 2728 f/sec...

The grains to grams charts that I have found are saying that there are a lot of grains in one gram. I am just a noobe so I just need some reassurance that this is right that one gram equals approximately 15.5 grains. Thanks for the replies

OK I have used the search and come up with nothing. 1. How hot does a barrel have to get to affect accuracy (In General Terms)? 2. I saw a video on the net about switching barrels and it made me curious about that. Can you switch a light barrel for a heavy barrel in the same action (assuming...

OK I have found a Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic Reloading Kit with Sonic Cleaner Combo that I might get. I am looking for opinions on this item...(either good or bad), but I would like the reasons behind you opinions, not just you could do better or you don't need all that, etc.... In case you...

OK guys I just joined not too long ago so cut me cut me some slack. I am just thinking about getting started to reload, as just a hobby. But after lurking on here I don't know? It looks like something that you don't want to start without a mentor (with all the talk of "seating", pressures...

I have acquired a Marlin 22 Mag "Lever Matic" and as far as I can tell it has no serial number or if it does I can't find it. I am understanding that before 1968 the manufacturer did not have to have serial numbers. If I am correct can some one tell me or give me an educated guess as to the age...

Ok this is from a Nube as you can tell from my "name", I just bought a Ruger Predator in 223 and don't really like the "Walmart" stock. I have been lurking here for a while and think there is a wealth of info here, so I'm asking the masses for suggestions for a aftermarket stock. I have been in...
