    AW Ban, Constitutional? WHat about last time

    I've been reading trying to keep up with everything going on this time around. I don't think any of the proposed legislation Fed or State will change anything for stopping crime or increasing safety. I was wondering if a weapons ban is in fact un-constitutional, why wasn't it challenged last...

    Tumbling brass, why not brass polish?

    I've heard from various sources NOT to use Brasso or other brass polish. I was wondering why, its made to polish brass, so i'd think it was a decent additive. Why car polish?

    Ruger 480 reloaders, what dies you using?

    I've been happy with the RCBS dies I've been using on XTP bullets, but lately I've been working on a good hunting load with cast 350gr or 400gr. When I flare the brass it just gives a lip nothing further down. I think its shaving some lead off in the rimping process. The finished round looks...

    Any Ruger .480 shooters? Carbines?

    I have owned both a SRH .480 and a Legacy M92 Carbine in ruger .480 form. I love them both and I'm looking to tune up the Carbine a little. Finding any parts for it is difficult at best. I've been to Puma's sight and they don't list the .480 anymore, and most everything else i run across in...

    Marine Corps possibly looking for new caliber

    I found this in the March 8th 2010 edition of the Marine Corps Times. nothing dramatic, but obvously they are thinking of something more than the 5.56mm. I personally didn't like the last bit, the article is talking about 7.62 rounds, but reality they are taking about 7.62x39 (ak-47s) a...
