    Some Pricing Nostalga

    I've had these 30-06 rounds since early 70's, I have no idea where I got them or how old they are. Scale was purchased in early 70's, box put to use as cover for trimmer ever since and is about to disintegrate. Scale appears to be still identical to RCBS 505.

    Muzzle brake effectiveness.

    I wish to buy a AR platform 308 20in barrel, probably Armalite or DPMS. I see many with and without muzzle breaks. Does a muzzle break really have much effectiveness on a 20in heavy barrel in 308.

    Sig Sauer SIG716 Patrol Rifle

    I wish to buy an AR platform 7.62 Nato rifle. The Sig looks just about what I am looking for, but after doing a simple google search for reviews one would think this is the worst rifle ever made. I could not find anything on it in THR search. I just can't believe this rifle can be that bad...

    hand loading pistol calibers for carbines.

    Have no experience with pistol caliber rifles. Just bought Hi-Point 45ACP Carbine. Current loads for my 1911's all use W231. Does the extra barrel length justify trying to find a more efficient load for carbine, say slower powder or would the difference be so slight that it would preferable...

    What to expect from gas ck loads

    For years I have not deviated from hand loading 357 and 44 mag routine. Medium cast bullet loads with 231, heavier loads with jacketed bullets using 2400 or H110. How well do gas cks work, can I load as heavy as jacketed or will it be somewhere in between?

    .429 vs .430 dia for jacketed .44 mag?

    Its been years since I last reloaded, but I believe I always used .429 dia for jacketed bullets in Smith Mod 29. Looking to buy bullets I see many listed at .430. Is this .001 going to make any difference? Are .430 for other cal like 444 marlin etc?
