    Heaviest bullet for ar15 in 5.56 (single feed)?

    I know magazines will take Hornady OTM and some 77 gr bullets. But what about single feed? What's the heaviest bullet most ar15s can chamber?

    Current state of the 450 bushmaster?

    On paper really like this round. But I see very little new reloading data for it; especially for cast bullets. It seems like a affordable alternative to the 458 socom and 50 beowolf. But it seems like this cartridge is flat lining. The forums that cater to it seem like ghost towns. Wish...

    329 airweight recoil

    Shot a buddy's 329 airweight with 44 mags this week. The recoil was stout. But it was not as bad as I expected. I'd say it was on par with a 357 LCR/J frame. Maybe less. The grips on the two are quite different. Of course the actual recoil is going to be dramatically more in the 44 mag...

    AR9 - yea or ney?

    Thinking about building a lower on a New Frontier Armory receiver and putting a PSA upper on it. What do you think? I really like the idea of having 9mm in the ar platform. I have plenty of 9mm brass and cast my own. I could finally afford to do a mag dump.:cool:

    ARs for hunting

    Just wanted to provide a review of my hunting season for those who are thinking about hunting with the ar15. Wasn't a fan of hunting with the 223/5.56 last year. But the upgrades in my arsenal paid off this fall. If you're thinking about an AR for deer, get the right cartridge and you'll be...

    Speer Golddot 380 ammo?

    Is there any difference between the "Gold Dot Duty" ammo and the "Gold Dot Personal Protection" ammo? Thinking about this for my LCP.

    What is the point of Glock polygonal rifling?

    Never understood why it is used. The fact that you're not supposed to shoot lead in a Glock, keeps me from buying one. I don't want to spend an extra $100 on an aftermarket barrel.

    STI Trojan 9mm review

    Here's my honest opinion of this gun. Bought new about 5 months ago. Function: A This gun functions wonderfully. One stovepipe in about 500 rounds and I think that was ammo related. The slide is light (9mm) and quite smooth. Accuracy: C Pretty average (to slightly below) for a...

    What is the deal with not wanting to pull the trigger during takedown?

    I keep hearing about how certain guns don't require you to pull the trigger to remove the slide and how this is a great feature. I don't get it. If you are so stupid as to not check the chamber before you take it apart you shouldn't be handling guns in the first place. I know mistakes happen...

    Who handles the warranty on these. They are Colts, but made by Walther and distributed by Umerex.

    Super Blackhawk Hunter delivers

    Thought I'd share this with my fellow revolver lovers. Not a giant, but my best with a handgun to date. I gave up rifle hunting for a bow about a decade ago. Phased out of bowhunting when I discovered handgun hunting two years ago. Details: Yesterday morning about 7:20, 45 Colt, 28...

    What to use for a lanyard?

    I looking at taking a canoe trip with my LCR. I have the lanyard eyebolt for it. But what should I used for the actual lanyard? This will probably be a concealed carry trip. I need something for retention, but that will allow me to conceal and draw. Any suggestions?

    357 LCR range report

    There seems to be a fair amount of interest around here in these pieces. So I thought I would file a range report. Well, I picked it up yesterday and headed out to my friend's house to fire her up. I shot about 85 rounds. About 30 were fairly hot 158 gr H110 hunting loads. The rest were a mix...

    Ever actually clock the difference in 38+P vs 357

    out of a snubnose? I'm just curious. There are a lot of opinions on this, but not a lot of data. Post it if you have!:D Thanks!

    Ever buy a gun from gunbuyer.com?

    are they legit? They are out of Florida and only take credit cards over the phone. You can't actually buy direct through their website (which looks nice). They also have listings on GunsAmerica but they claim you can't buy through that site and they only use it for advertising. I'm not sure...

    The effects on hearing from shooting a 22LR out of a rifle?

    Whenever I see this issue brought up, I hear a lot of (sometimes emotional) people go on and on about how it can damage hearing. I've not seen any good scientific evidence that this is true. I hear about sound print and decibles that are created by a 22 rifle, but never do they say where these...

    Shooting through blind mesh?

    I have no concerns about the affect on accuracy (not shooting past 100 yds). But should I have any other concerns about shooting through the mesh netting on my Double Bull? I'm taking my son out this weekend and he is shooting a 243. I assume it won't catch the thing on fire. Now I'd love...

    Hornady 243 100gr BTSP (pre-interlock) on deer

    Anybody use these on whitetail? I had a near bad experience with a Hornady JHP (300 gr, 45/70) on a 125 lb doe about 15 years ago. It was a perfect broadsite lung shot at about 70 yards. The doe died, but the bullet broke up and did not exit. What I found inside was tiny pieces. Anyhow it...
