Finally got a proper case tumbler. A Lyman Pro 1200 followed me home the other day. :D The media I'm using is crushed corn cob with a tad bit of car polish. Corn cob is what I've been using with my redneck tumble method to date: (Large plastic pickle jar, encased in homemade, padded, coat...

Anyone here try any of the new Lehigh Defense Xtreme Penetrator 380 acp in their guns. Positives? Negatives? I ordered some after seeing some gelatin tests. I was impressed, but the projectiles are strange and I wonder how well they will run in semiautos. In particular little 380s'

Just recently bought a .357sig barrel to drop in my Glock 27. I am using my stock G27 mags and a couple of G23 mags too. The thing runs great converted to .357sig, but one thing bugs me. The magazines rattle now with the .357's inside. Both the 27and 23 magazines. If this .357...

(Mods, I could not figure if this forum or the NFA forum would be the place to post this, so move it if necessary.) I'm not an owner of NFA stuff, but I read that the Knob Creek machine gun gathering in Kentucky is a neat event. Seriously thinking about going in a few weeks if I can wangle...

Attempting to make Lyman #2 alloy for the first time. I'm trying to do this with known ingredients because I do not have a hardness tester to check my work. Got some questions after first attempt. The known components are: Pure sheet lead Superhard alloy (70% lead/ 30% antimony pre-mix)...

I'm curious. A scenario...... What if Joe Public goes through all the hoops and expense to own a machine gun. He has fun with it for a few years, but gets ran over by a herd of elephants on the way to work one day. Joe's wife collects the life insurance but could care less about Joe's...

I'm subbed to Jerry Miculek's channel on Youtube. Cracks me up because he's speed shooting a 500 with 300 grain bullets. (Jeez) The slow motion footage is amazing. Cool watching the jolt run his arms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOzyqiT1FFA

I have some pure lead that I'd like to alloy up for casting 9mm. Is there a "golden range" of BHN for lead 9mm? In my manual and reading online I keep seeing reference to Lyman #2. What hardness is that alloy? Thanks.

I have a really old single shot 20g Springfield Arms shotgun. I recently broke it down for a good cleaning. If you look in the breach you can see the device that locks up the barrel for shooting. This "foot" (don't know the real name) is operated by the eject lever that opens the gun. When...

I've owned one of their HP22's for several years. Bought the pot metal junk after shooting one a buddy loaned me. On a whim, basically. Ran a zillion rounds of ammo through it in that time because it is a fine little plinker. The slide actually broke last time at the range. BTW, did not...

I've been wondering why Cuomao (not a typo :) ) came up with the 7 round mag limit. Think about it.....what is just as American as apple pie, Coca-cola and Chevrolet? A Browning 1911. I'm, unfortunatly, not a 1911 owner, but I believe 7 was the original mag capacity on the originals, right...

A freind of mine has an old military rifle. It is a M1917. The thing was filthy. So much so, I begged to just clean it for him. :) I'm like that if I see some fine old equipment ruining like that. Plus I dig old military stuff and wanted a chance to check it out. Looks like it had not...

I will be rambling around in Ellijay, Ga. and the mountains north of here a few days. Did a computer search with no luck. Any good shops around that cater to reloading supplies in this general area? Hoping to find a decent shop while on vacation. Thanks.

Maybe some of you from the great white north can answer me something. (I usually take everything from Hollywood with a grain of salt, but) In the movie, The Grey, the main character (Liam Neeson) worked as a proffesional hunter for an oil company. His duty was to guard field workers in...

Hello, I live in Alabama, but I'm thinking of sliding off to the mountains of TN here soon for some R-n-R. According to what I've read, TN does recognize AL concealled carry permits, but I have a question about traffic stops. In TN, if pulled over for a traffic stop, are you required to...

I used to have an old HR .22 LR revolver for plinking. It was blued steel and I really miss it for plinking. Didn't like having to oil it after every use to keep the finish from rusting. Thinking about buying something like it again. This next one needs to be made of stainless for low...

I know this young man (in the Army) . You told me that he will be manning a vehicle mounted .50 caliber gun. I was very interested so I asked him about his training. All was well until he told me how effective and ferocious the .50 caliber round is...... "A Round out of that gun will...

A little background: Not much experience shooting service caliber pistols. Waited until I'm 50 to buy my first....a Glock 23. Mainly bought it for occasional CC and for target plinking. Now that I've shot this thing, I regret not buying one back when I was younger and had the vision of an...

I don't know how many folks at THR are from central Alabama, but I thought I'd throw a heads up for those that might be interested in getting in on planning of this. http://www.alashooting.com/ Looks like the developers of a proposed multi-use outdoor facility are inviting the public to...

Bought a Glock 23...idea was this....good compromise in power/size for several uses.....those being: CC, home defence and a firearm for protection while hiking. For CC and home defence I'll eventually try and settle on some hollow points.......some sort of round designed for defence against...
