walking around without one in the chamber would be like walking through bear country with you bear spray burried deep in your backpack. totally useless. if you are going to have it, make sure you are ready to use it. otherwise, leave it at home.

so, i just got my rifle back from being re-barreled. they did a nice job cosmeticly, but i have one real concern. the provided me with 2 spent casings that they fired through my gun, aparently to show me it was safe to shoot. anyway, the cases (both of them) are out of round at the base of the...

So, I have started in on this accuracy quest thing, I dont know if i picked a good caliber or not, but it is where i am going to start. I am going after 223 remington. Of course i have 223 and 5.56 cases, so that is another test variable. My goal, of course is as small as possible. I am...

My kids are 8 &6. They both know i carry all of the time. It is just not even an issue. They just know that it is something daddy does to keep them safe. That is how i explained it to them 2 years ago, and after about the first month, they just think it is normal. The problem you have right now...

if you had a reamer of the correct dimensions, you could probably make them from .223 remington shells. They are very close.

I did buy one box of their hollow point personal protection ammo, but honestly, i have not tested it. The reason is because i also bought a bag of the same bullets, and loaded them my self. With my initial loads, firing into milk jugs, there was z-e-r-o expansion. I thought that velocity might...

Well, it's a 45, it was designed to kill people with fmj ammo. Any quality jhp ammo should be fine. If you check your owners manual, you may find that the use of +p ammo is not reccomended by the manufacturer. There are so many "super-dooper-stopper" bullets on the market now days, i can not...

This realy should be a "no brainer" for you. You already spend as much money as you can on guns every month, and you are not shooting them! Quit buying guns, and buy the reloading equipment so you can afford to shoot them. You will find that shooting is much more enjoyable than buying. Reloading...

Just think, if the powers that be had their way, you wouldn't be able to own a handgun at all. Ever. For any reason. And they wonder why american's do not trust their government!

They can't sell them, plus the cost of return shipping is probably more than the cost of manufacturing a new box. If you can find someone close to crimp them, you should be able to shoot the rest of them with no trouble. Or I suppose you could shoot them by loading them singly, directly into the...

this is the stuff you want. i have sealed lots of bullets / primers with this. i am on my 2nd bottle of it. nail polish will certainly seal your ammo as well. i am just not so sure how it will act inside your gun when you fire them. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=954332

it will come back down. how long is a question only panic buyers can answer. it was not until ruger introduced their LCP that things went crazy. i am glad that i bought 400 rounds of ammo, and 500 once fired cases before things went crazy. now, your wife never firing her lcp, is a whole...

+1 to that, especially, the later! lol!

+1 on the Chrony brand. it is what i have, i also bought it on sale. around the $100 price tag when on sale. @ $100.00, if i shoot it through the vitals, at least it wont hurt so bad when i replace it. if i had paid $400-500 for one, and put a bullet through it right away, i might never replace it.

what calibers huh? well, lets see, in rifle, 45/70, 300 win mag, 300 H&H mag, 30-30, 223 rem (5.56). in pistol, 45acp, 44 mag / special, 40 s&w, 38 special, and 380! there is just to many to try to seperatly work through individually, so i left it a generalization type of thread. not all of...
