Buy 'em. When she sees them she might not be able to distinguish them from the old ones. If she does, say, "Well, they're here now. Been here for a while. Hadn't bothered you before now..."

So I just got a Rem 700 in 22-250 and decided to figure out some bullet seating depths for handloads. I used my Hornady case length gage with the required modified 22-250 shell, but every bullet I tried from 45 to 55 gr left the shell before it hit the lands. Two questions for you 1-- is...

Sounds like the guns were stolen. But maybe fewer guns, more car payments for your friend next time. I know that's blasphemy, but, day-umm...

Have you ever not full resized for your AR reloads? I know that the prevailing wisdom says to full length resize your AR brass instead of necksize only, but I wonder if it's safe to necksize only and if there'd be a gain in accuracy. Anybody necksized only yet?

I plan to do .223 and .45 ACP.

I don't know anything about reloading, so I'm starting with a hand press to get an idea of what it's like. I know I'll need powder, bullets and primers, and I have some once-fired brass, and I'll need dies for each caliber. I've read the sticky about reloading supplies, but is there a "bare...

Thanks for the advice. I'm an AK noob. I'm liking the MD75 MK4 @ Atlantic. It's Romanian, has a chrome-lined barrel, and is in a price range that I could handle. Anybody have one of these?

I'm thinking about getting an AK. What's a good reliable variety/nationality? Intended purpose is just range fun. Also, can you recommend an online seller?

I put a Timney trigger in my formerly totally reliable Rem 700 VLS and now am getting light strikes. The ammo I used for test was (previously reliable) Black Hills red box 55 gr. Only 2 of 5 primers ignited, but all had a firing pin dent. Anybody else have this problem? Any advice?

I was going to the local indoor range about 2x/week. I thought they had pretty good ventilation, but also noticed it would get fairly smoky in there. After a few years of going there at that frequency I heard that some of the staff was having "lead problems" and got my blood tested. Sure...

Maybe it's a sign that the political climate is turning more overall anti-gun, Repub and Democrat. If so, heck yeah, I'd like another 8-yr Clinton-type presidency. With the great economy and strong dollar we had with Bill, think of all the cool (albeit "regulated") guns you could buy! These...

CCW permit holder thinks: It's not the legal sign, and if they really wanted no guns carried here, they'd post the legal sign. Law-abiding non-gun owner thinks: Good! We're all safe here! Black-clad maniac thinks: The voices! Cobwebs! I am flan!

Hartman's Approach To Dating A Rifle From Full Metal Jacket--"Tonight, you pukes will sleep with your rifles. You will give your rifle a girl's name because this is the only [feline] you people are going to get." :evil:

I'm liking my VLS 700, but I need more length of pull. Anybody know of some good solutions? I'm thinking it'll be some sort of "recoil pad," but I'm not really familiar with rifle accessories.

I checked out the picture. My sling seems to let me look more masculine when I hold the rifle. :)
