Finished a PSA upper and lower with a stainless upper that I am anxious to get out to the range. Picked up a Simmons 6.5 x 20 x 50 scope from Midway over a year ago and am thinking of putting it on this new AR. I know I need taller mounts for the optics to clear and also to move the scope...

My brother in law alerted me to this cartridge and it sounds interesting. Anyone on here have one or load this cartridge? I have read a couple articles but would like to hear first hand about your experiences. Thanks

I have thought about this long enough and I am in the mood to move to a progressive. I am going with the Hornady LNL. I want to, as much as possible, get most everything I need first shot. I know I need the following: 1. Shell plates - I have the numbers 2. Bushings - 4 per caliber - I use a...

Cast some 158 grain SWC and used the complete Lee system including Lee Alox as the lube. I pushed with 3.2 grains of Titegroup. I have some purchased lead that have been run through a sizer and lube tool and had some smoke but this was pretty impressive. I was shooting these at an indoor range...

Midway has a Geissele trigger on sale. It is a two stage with the first being 2.5lbs and the second 2lbs. No real plans for the remainder of the rifle although this will drop into a PSA lower. Shoot dogs and paper with it. Are they worth the extra bucks? Thanks in advance

I have seen some discussion on the board about PSA kits. I have one other AR but would like to actually build one from the ground up just to say I did. The feedback seems to be pretty positive on these. Is that because of the price or quality or both? Would like to hear from those who have...

Working on developing some loads using Berry's bullets. I will be using 124 grain, round nose bullets. I want to use HS6 and Titegroup to start with. Will be shooting in an SR9 and CZ SP 01 Phantom. My goal is accuracy and manageable recoil for the bride to shoot. What do you have for recipes...

I am getting set up to pour my own lead bullets. I have done it in the past so it isn't new to me but the 40 load is. I shoot 180 grain bullets currently and see where Lee makes a 175 grain SWC. Will I notice a difference in the loads I have worked up for a 180 grain lead bullet versus a 175?

Curious. I am 57 years old and lift when I get time, wish it was more often. I do lift with light weights hold my arms out straight in front similar to my shooting position. Between my age, lack of experience and teaching I think it helps some but hard to tell how much. Anyone else have...

Can anyone on here tell me the differences, if any, between a Hornady LNL made today and one made 5 years ago? I have read about some primer seating issues and don't know if those are old and have been fixed or not. Thanks

I have looked at them from the outside for many years, never have looked inside of one. I see Midway has them on sale right now. I know the quality of the paper and such is photo quality which doesn't concern me if the information is truly something I can use. I have heard that some of the...

I started a thread about buying some bullets and someone suggested I get into casting my own. Thirty years ago a buddy and I started casting and loading our own. He had the casting equipment and I had the loading equipment. Well, two states, three moves later and a lot of time in between loading...

I have seen various posts on different bullets. I want to stock up now as I don't see things getting any cheaper in the next few months/years. I shoot 9's in 115/124, 38/357 in 158 grain, and 40 S&W in 180 grain. I shoot some lead especially in my 357 but would prefer plated bullets for a few...

I posted a short time ago asking for some help on some loads for 40 S&W. Between that and my books I got enough information to put some test loads together and this is what I ended up with. Feel free to comment (be nice though). :D I really screwed up and forgot to use the chrono at the range...

Found these on Surplus Ammo.com site. They are Speer TNT HP bullets. $94.99/1000 shipped. They also carry Montana Golds in .224 which I have never used as well. Only used Winchester, Hornady, and LC. Anyone know much about this company? Their products and service?

I just started reloading 40's and had a couple stick in my XDM so I decided to pick up a case gauge this weekend and see if I could head off the problem. I have a few thousand pieces of brass already sized and deprimed and a bunch primed. I went to check them in the case gauge and out of a...

I have one AR15 and have always been intrigued by building my own someday when I get some time just to say I did it. I have two brothers-in-law who both have multiple units with one always on the hunt for different upper and lower configurations. I know there are lowers with different triggers...

I have a little bit of everything, Colt and mostly Rugers. I have never shot a S&W but I have heard and read enough on here to know I must be missing something:D I have been keeping my eyes open at shops and shows for a nice revolver in 357, preferably in 4" or 6" and blue is fine for what I...

I have changed the ones on my XDM with no problems. I didn't find anything in the CZ manual. There appears to be some torsion on the pin and didn't know if there is a secret to taking the tension off or to just use a pin punch and push it out. It actually fits my hand pretty well with the one on...
