I was trying to figure some seating depths for my 527 and found out it's really short, I mean dangerous short. For example Speer 52 gr HP is supposed to be 2.200" it hits rifling at 2.149". Sierra 55gr SP is supposed to seat at 2.250", it hits rifling at 2.230". Same with 55 gr V-Max. If I seat...

I just got done making 8mm Mauser out of 270 Winchester. Is it necessary to anneal them? My 1st time case forming.

My Gen4 Glock 19 is hitting me in the face with brass and won't lock to the rear after the last shot. I swapped the stock spring for a gen 3 spring. I replaced the extractor with a Lone Wolf. What else do I need to replace? I called Glock. I have to ship at my expense, which will be $80-100.

I'm retirng from the army soon and I'm trying to find a state that is friendly to both gun owners AND hunters. The hunting in my home state of NY is great, but 1/2 of my gun collection is illegal there. I looked at West Virginia. I love their gun laws, but they're very unfrindly to non-land...

I should be getting a used 7400 in 30-06 tomarrow or the next day. It has a 22 inch barrel. Is there any special tips for loading for this thing. The only auto loaders I've ever loaded for were ARs, mini's and AKs. Mainly I'm curious about powders and bullets weights. Should I use Garand or...

The dealer in town has a used Hi Power that looks like it has barely 100 rds thru it. One scratch near the safety. Plastic grips and one 10 rd magazine. They're asking $699. Does that seem reasonable?

I ask because as I'm looking for a place to hunt I only find 3 types of land: a) Private land closed to hunting b) Private land that charges $150-$800 per weekend c) Public land closed to hunting It seems now that unless you own property or are willing to pay for guided hunt, there are no...

Planning on rabbit hunting in New mexico. They have a non-toxic shot requirement on public land. So if I nornally use #6 lead out of an IC choke, what size would I use with steel? Some thing like #4 steel and the IC would throw a modified size pattern? Any recommended ammo? I see some...

Does anyone know of a good place to shoot trap / skeet / sporting clays near El Paso, Texas or south east New Mexico? I'm by myself so "pull your own" (like at FT Bliss) isn't gonna work.

CDNN is selling Bersa Thunder 380 factory mag for around $27, but it was much faster and cheaper (and dumber it turns out :rolleyes:) to get the Pro-mag a local sporting goods store. I've got about 200-300 rounds threw this thing so far and never a burp. Well one time it took 2 whacks of the...

"Recognizing that a well regulated militia is neccessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". Most anti-second amendment advocates refer to the first half of the clause, saying it only applies to militias. They are exactly...

I went to my LGS today to work out the transfer arrangement for a beautiful new Taurus PT-100 I bought on gunbroker and seen something in the used case. I very mint condition Springfield XD for $375. After a quick search on gunbroker.com, I've come to learn this is about the average price for a...

Just started bidding on a PT-100. I like it because externally it looks like my beretta 92FS. Didn't know the Taurus version had a 3 position safety, so you can carry cocked & locked. I think this is going to be really sweet pistol.

Which after market barrels can you shoot hand loads out of? I just got a Lone wolf and the chamber is so tight I had to polish it with steel wool just to accept factory loads. It won't go into full batery with any of my hand loads, even after I put them through the LFC die twice.:mad: Would a...

What powders have a good reputation for working well with the 125 gr JHPs in 357 magnum? The revolver is a Ruger GP-100 with a 4" barrel.

I picked up my 1st revolver today. It's a stainless steel Ruger GP 100 with a 4" barrel. I'm cool with the owner so he kicked in a box of mag tech 38 spcl and a box of really old Western Super X 357 mag.

I spent $2,900 today. Bought a Wilson Combat CQB in 45 ACP for $1,900. Also got an Aim Point refelex site and flip-up iron sights for my AR-15. Last time I spent this much it was for a car. I was also hitting low with every pistol I picked up. About 4" low with the Wilson, a Sig P-239, and my...

I've been using IMR 4350 in my 280 AI and 30-06, but it's not to be found in west Texas / east New Mexico, nor is AA-4350 or H-4350. What is the alternatives? I need something that behaves similar.
