Another vote for RMR. Been getting bullets from them since their early days and Jake has always been solid.

Exactly. So between the 1st shot and the guard being shot had to be a few minutes. Even in a building that size a 12ga going off should alert most folks.

So my question is: Where were the security guard(s) when the shooting started? He supposedly started on the 4th floor, and in a building that size there would have to be more than one guard (you would think). And also, he got the drop on at least one and took his(?) weapon. Something just...

Ordered the black loaded model back in November from Buds. Finally on its way. (Guess I should start loading some .308) Will probably run it with iron sights for a while & save up for a good mount & optics!

I've also loaded 300 wby on my LCT without issue. (And 270 wby all the way down to 40 S&W). I just take out the cam rod and use it like a single stage press. That's the beauty of this design. I also tend to use a batch method, so I've got allot of my brass prepped & primed, but not loaded...

Greetings All, I've finally gotten around to working on a Remington 11 Auto 12 gauge (Browning A-5 clone to the uninitiated), that's been in the family for several generations. One of the main differences between the A11 and the A-5 is the A11 has a buffer pad riveted inside the back of the...

So I guess the question is: What is the mood of the electorate in the greater Chicago area? Have they been beat down for so long on 2A and RKBA issues that they will have a Pavlovian response to the subject? Or, will the "machine" kick into high gear and appoint by proxy whom they wish...

Not much that "A few wacks with a good hammer" won't fix. (Or at least make you feel better about it.)

^^^^^^ Hazzah!!!

Wow... Cut and section my barrel to inspect for throat erosion? (just kidding) But seriously, has anyone used cerrosafe (or something similar) to make a cast of the chamber and throat to get a 3D look at the situation?

Greetings All: I have an older, custom built 220 Swift that has a very deep throat. Built by H.W. Creighton (out of the Nashville area back in the 70-80s) 98 Mauser action Sako super heavy barrel (I think) 1:14 twist Timney trigger Trouble is the throat is so deep I can't get the...

In this case; Less is More. I flare 38 SPL just enough that I can feel it with my fingers. Remember, brass doesn't like being overworked. Leads to cracking.

I picked up the Lee Bulge Buster for $15. It uses your Lee Factory Crimp die (in the caliber of choice), and pushes the case all the way through. I run all 3rd party recycled brass through it for my 45 and have found about 15% have a "big bottom". It's quick & painless (unless you leave...

Have you miked the loaded cases at several places down the lenght of the case? Does factory ammo camber correctly? If so it sounds like a sizing issue (lower case bulge)

The AAFES at Mtn Home AFB has had a new (empty) gun counter since September. They finally fired it up last week and have a pretty good selection of revolvers, slide guns and rifles. Talked to one of the guys a couple of days ago and he said the reason it took so long was all the red tape they...
