    Best loads for a 3" SP-101 32 H&R Mag?

    A almost new Ruger came into my life this week, a SP-101 in 32mag to go with the 6" SSM I bought new years ago. Shot it Wednesday with some Federal ammo and some 32 S&W long ammo I loaded years ago with the Hornady SWCs. The factory ammo shot fine but my reloads were destabilized at 30 feet...

    Barrel twist for a .451 20" AR project

    Been wanting a 45ACP gas operated upper for a while now, looking at barrels I see 1-16" and 1-32" twists, thing is at some point I will probably rechamber for 45 Win Mag, I checked and my CavArms lower has room for a double stack even then. Already have a barrel extension, lathe, and a 45ACP...

    Fun with 10rd 7.62x39 mags

    I ended up with a 30 round C-Products to feed my 20" DPMS upper in 7.62x39 because Midway didn't have the 10s I wanted. Last week our order from CP came in and I now have 3 10s, a Grendel 10 and a 223 20rd. I looked long and hard but the only difference between the 7.62 and the 6.5 I can see...

    When did Flambeau stop making.........

    Many years ago, over twenty five, while stationed at Ft Hood I bought a pair of Flambeau Ammo Guard 50 round boxes. Several things I like over the MTM product, it's less tippy yet a bit smaller on the outside and it has a real hinge on a wire instead of a thin flap that connects the top and...

    KNS reticle front sights

    My plinking session report. I had been looking that these things in the catalogs for years, seemed like a good idea, buddy needed some stuff from Midway last month so I piggybacked my stuff on his order and got a pair of hooded fine wire sights for AR15. The first one went on the 20 inch 7.62x39...

    Plated bullets+357 Microgroove=?

    Want to shoot my 1894c pre-crossbolt safety Marlin more and my results of shooting cast lead have been mostly poor. One idea was to try some plated DEWCs, another was to over polish my Lee wad-cutter mould so that it casts a smidge larger, would still need a larger lubrisizer die though. I...

    Berdan and other odd primers database

    While not the most common, I did find in my searches questions about primers other than the standard Boxer types. So I hope good info can be gathered here for others to benefit from. First up is an item I found almost twenty years ago, CCI shotshell caps, if you want to go to the trouble of...

    Found, Winchester 630, W630

    Yeah I know, that's redundant but will make searching easier, anywho. I find I'm the owner of a can of Win 630 powder, could I use it in a 357mag Marlin, a 32mag SSM, 45acp, 7.62x25 or 7.62x39? So far all I could find was a little info on use in the 357 for revolver use, would like to know what...

    Looking for 16" midi 7.62x39 barrel

    Plenty of barrels with CAR gas systems but I really want a mid-length setup for both bolt life and sight radius, also I don't want a HBAR profile. I don't need a complete upper, fact I plan to use a A1 I have on hand. I have checked several places and no luck so far. TIA

    Strangest stuff for sale at gunshows

    For me it was a show after Christmas, and it was a table full of dolls, larger collector type not barbies. 2nd was the guy selling a tilting tables you lay down on, had your feet strapped in some how and inverted yourself with. Guess he didn't know his crowd. BTW I like the jerky being...

    Thoughts on non-223 AR15 mags

    Been wondering for a while why good working mags in 7.62x39 have trouble so often so I rounded up what I have on hand and started measuring with the Brown & Sharpe Slantline one inch micrometer. Here are the results of how thick the metal is that the mags are made from. Colt 20 rd Cal 5.56...

    Oversize AR15 cam pin?

    Checked my bolts the other day and found my spare 7.62x39 bolt's cam pin hole is kinda loose, maybe 3 or 4 thousanths which for a hole this short is kinda loose. I have some O-2 drill rod I could make a pin to fit but when the standard pin is five bucks it really seems like wasted effort. Oh...

    Rifled barrel+1100 Special Field?

    Anyone seen this combo? Next year I should have time to go deer hunting for once and as I already have the 1100 this seems a reasonable choice. My concern is barrel channel clearence on the forend, some rifled barrels look to be larger diameter. Was thinking about using a HoloSite so a...
