My brother fired his new AR-15 with the boresight device in the muzzle (forgot to take it out). :banghead: It will not shoot accurately and the last 3 inches of the bore is completely black with what looks like a serious layer of burn residue. He's run the brush down it with cleaner a number...
I'm wanting a Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Long Colt.
I'm struggling with a decision on barrel length. I can't decide if I want the 4 5/8 or the 5 1/2. Can you guys help me decide? Here are my plans for the gun. I want to use it as a hunting sidearm (for whitetail/hogs), and in certain cases a...
How deep are you seating them? I'm experimenting with a similar load (but with 4.7 fr of Titegroup), and I can't get 100% reliability. I'm getting FTF every once and a while and wondering what the deal is. :cuss: It's a 1911 though.:rolleyes:
My barrel is a Del-Ton 16" mid-length, regular barrel (not lightweight).
I know I mentioned a shoulder shot as a scenario in my original post. My first preference is a shot behind the ear. They've dropped every time with my 30-06, and I'm fairly confident they would drop every time with any...
I have an AR-15 that I have developed 2 loads for. One load uses Hornady 55gr FMJ, and the other uses Hornady 55gr V-Max. I was curious of the performance of the Sierra GameKing 55 gr Spitzer boat tail vs the V-Max for the sake of hunting. I plan to use the gun for hogs and varmints. Will...
Oh. Just realized the date of the original post. If Grandpa is dead, I'm in big trouble for not using alcohol. Should I go ahead and cut off the injured finger to stop the spread of bacteria? Kind of like Gus's leg in Lonesome Dove.
The timing of this post is quite weird! I did the exact same thing yesterday but I "deprimed" my left hand. Was trying to size 223 rather quickly an didn't get my hand out before my right hand sent the ram right up to the die. It was very weird to hear and feel my skin puncture with such a dull...
I was given some large pistol primers that look like they're from the same era. The price tag on them is 15.99, I believe. My local place now has them for $39.50, WHEN they're in stock.
Sorry for not reporting back for a couple weeks. I've figured out my problem. I was under the impression that only the neck and shoulder needed lube. So I was putting a bunch of lube on that area, but none any lower than the shoulder. Now that I'm lubing farther down, the resizing is easy...
Thanks for all the replies. I think I figured out my problem. Initially, I was just lubing the inside, not the outside. And then, when I tried lubing the outside, I used just a tiny amount. Late last night, I tried resizing again, but with considerably more lube on the outside, and they...
Lee resizing lube. I tried it straight from the tube, and also did some diluted with water, like the instructions give the option for. Didn't make a difference either way. Applied with a cotton swab - a pretty liberal amount.
Cases are mixed headstamp. Probably 5 different kinds. Some LC...
I've been reloading 45acp and 30-06 for a little over a year now with a Lee Anniversary kit. So you could call me a newbie. I decided I wanted to start reloading 223 Rem so I got all the components ordered and as of Friday received all I need to load my first 223 cartridges. Well, I'm having...
That's kinda what I was thinking. Thanks for clearing it up. I actually don't reload any rifle calibers yet, but just thinking about future situations.
