Just FYI, I picked up a 556xi Russian in February of this year and have exactly ZERO issues with it. I don't know if Sig updated their QA to catch the issues that early adopters were reporting, or what, but it has performed beautifully for me. Eats all ammo, as accurate as I could hope for and...

Haha, Mauser. 30 seconds quicker on the draw!

All else the same (same gun, no change in sighting, same projectile, seating depth, etc.), the higher the powder charge, the higher the muzzle velocity. The higher the muzzle velocity, the less time the bullet spends "trapped" by the barrel. The less time trapped in the barrel, the less time the...

As a general rule, I prefer RCBS dies. A little more specifically, I prefer RCBS pistol and Redding rifle dies. Even more specifically, for pistol: I prefer RCBS carbide resizing dies, Lyman Expander dies, and Hornady seater dies. For rifle: I prefer Redding Deluxe sets if available, if not...

The T-Mag is a 6 hole turret. I've used both and I actually like it quite a bit better than the Lee.

If you had actually read the contents of the link, the handloads stay within SAAMI specs. So, the nice try is yours.......again. Up to 230gr a GAP round pushed to its SAAMI spec limits matches the ACP+P pushed to its limits and easily surpasses ACP. "My theory" already is a reality. You...

Now you're talking 45 ACP+P, which is a nice sleight of hand trick, but you're still wrong. While most ammunition manufacturers don't push the GAP to ACP+P levels in 230gr loads, a handloader can do it pretty easily. See here...

There is some horrible logic being employed in this thread by some. The GAP is a shorter round with equal/slightly better ballistics than the ACP. That should be the END of the discussion. The GAP, as a technical matter, is superior to the ACP. You don't like that fact? Oh well. People in...

Vihtavuori N-320 is, by far, my favorite 9mm powder, in a "you can only have one powder" sort of way.

Thanks fellas. Some really great suggestions here. I'm seeing a consensus of .45-70 and 338-06. I'm kinda drawn to the idea of the custom build as well. By all means, I'm open to any more suggestions. But, I like what I'm seeing so far. Thanks again.

Hey guys, I've been itching for a new rifle lately and would like your opinions, since I kinda don't know what I want except I want something "different." I’m looking for a rifle that isn’t super common, but then again, not a complete oddity that I won’t be able to find loading dies for...

I agree with you 100%. I have an FNP-9 and FNP-40. Love em both. Just really good guns--accurate, affordable, feel great in the hands, reliable. Nuff said.

deleted -- <Sam> The funny thing is that you, apparently, and the guy mentioning "The View" seem to think that *I'M* the pansy--although I'm not scared in the least by these walking dealers of death known as coyotes. I'll tell you what, I've come across dozens and dozens of coyotes in my life...

I'm sure everyone on this message board can come up with ways to rationalize killing a coyote or (insert any number of North American wildlife here) by saying "coyotes might do XYZ, therefore I need to kill them." Justification by offering the most fringe of examples. If that's the way you...

Here is a much, much better question: Why the hell would you want to shoot a coyote? Have you or anyone that you know or anyone that THEY know ever been attacked or put into an EVEN POTENTIALLY dangerous situation by a coyote? Do you eat coyote? I would give you 100:1 odds that the answer to...
