    Price inversion M193 and M855

    Time to stock up! I just bought some Winchester M193 5.56Nato, Lake City mfg for less than I can reload given Winchester's current rebate deal. I was going to order some more Hornady 55gr bullets and when I added up bullets + primers + powder, it will be the same price after rebate from...

    Favorite .22LR Upper

    Borrowing from the general forum: What's your favorite .22LR AR upper? What's the most accurate .22LR AR upper? Currently, I'm using a CMMG Bravo adapter and it's fine for training, but I'd like a dedicated, accurate .22LR upper. I'm finding most are out of stock and have been for some time.

    .45ACP bullet setback

    What's an allowable setback for .45ACP? I'm new to reloading .45ACP and 3-die set vs. 4-die sets for other calibers with a separate crimp die. I loaded a dummy round (200 gn FP) and re-chambered it several times. Initial COAL was 1.199". After 6 chamberings, it only dropped to 1.197. The...

    Mini CZ 527 7.62x39 range session report

    There's many great CZ 527 reviews out there, this is just a supplemental to all of those on a few issues I noticed that weren't covered in the other reviews. Confirmation: 1. As just about all the other reviews have stated, the darn thing is accurate with either steel or brass cased ammo...

    7.62x39 AR Steel Case Rounds

    Anyone shooting steel case rounds in their AR x39? I've been looking to do a x39 build and also looking at complete rifles, but it seems nearly every mfr has a disclaimer about steel case ammo.

    K31 - Is "Love" too strong a word?

    I finally took my new to me K31 to the range today and I'm almost at a loss for words to describe how nice it was to shoot, both the accuracy and the gentle recoil impulse. Right now, I just have the stock iron sights, but after seeing what it's capable of, I plan on getting a scope mount...

    Glock 30S Negative Review

    I recently shot the Glock 30S. It fit my hand perfectly and truly pointed well, regardless of how I held it. The trigger was a typical Glock trigger feel, which I'm used to and have no complaints about. I really wanted to like this gun because it's a Glock, it's a .45ACP and it's sized right...

    Spring Air Rifle from Prone Position Suggestions

    Any suggestions on how to shoot a spring air rifle from the prone position? I have consistent, very good, groups when shooting off-hand from the standing and kneeling position, but I just can't seem to shoot well from the prone. My groups are usually in the 2" range at 12 yards, and thats not...

    Once shot case not chambering

    I like to practice cycling the action of my Mosin-Nagant M44. I usually do this with a couple snap caps in the magazine. I didn't have the snap caps handy, so I was going to put a spent steal case back in just to cycle the action. I wasn't able to close the action. I then tried a brass case...

    Mini-14 scope

    I just bought a mini-14 ranch rifle. I don't really like the front sight and have been trying to find a red-dot or low power scope for the rifle. I don't expect to take prarie dogs at 300meters, but I would like to have a quick sighting system good for maybe 100-150yds, max. Thanks in advance...
