    HK P2000SK Mags

    I bought this pistol for a carry gun and very much like it. While it's on duty at home I'd like to use a longer, higher capacity mag mainly to have a fuller grip. I remember reading somewhere about other HK mags that are compatible, but for the life of me I can't find it now. My wife has the...

    Load data for Plated 44 & 357

    I have Berry's 240gr .429's and 125gr .357's coming soon. I've loaded a lot of Berry's in 9mm for target/plinking, I've only used full house or lead in 44/357. These would be launched from a GP100, Ruger SBH and Marlin 1894. I know I can use Unique, but I have only 1 pound left, while I have...

    Neck Turning and Chamber Size

    A local reloading buddy bought a used, custom 6MMbr rifle and Redding custom competition dies. The chamber size is stamped on the bbl at .262. He has no live ammo, but a few spent cases from the previous owner. New, uncut Lapua brass with a bullet seated will not chamber, neck measures...

    AR Scope Mounts

    After owning plenty of other centerfire rifles, I built my first AR. I'm a total newb on this platform. I'd like to mount a low power scope on this build, but I'm not sure the best way. I bought a "standard" upper with no open site. The upper has a giant row of Weaver style rails to mount...

    Component bullet testing, pistol

    My son and I did some testing of handgun component bullets. Our method was not ideal, but could be indicative of real world results. We want to test rifle rounds but have not decided the best way, yet. For pistol stuff we tested: 9mm 115 Gold Dot JHP 9mm 124 Gold Dot JHP 9mm 124 Gold...

    Tikka Accuracy

    Please tell me how accurate your Tikka T3 is. I would like a custom bolt action target rifle, but the wallet says no. I own several rifle brands now, and hands down my Tikka T3 in .243 is the most accurate. With handloads, 1/4" Groups are routine. On a bad day it'll throw a half inch...

    Powder Substitutions

    Any of you guys bought another brand of powder with a similar name to continue with load development when your preferred powder is out of stock forever? I have a 30-06 that very much likes H4350, but I'm out. I'm thinking of trying Accurate 4350. Load data for the two is very, very similar...

    Speer Reloading Data

    Anyone willing to help me out with data from their Speer reloading manual? It's one manual I don't own. What does Speer say about OAL in a 9mm 115 gold dot? Do they only state a length, or call it a maximum length? If they list Power Pistol or 3N37 as suitable powders, what is the max...

    Dented Case Mouths on Ejection

    I bought a new to me, Browning BAR 30-06 made in 1967. It had not been fired, or a only fired a few times. During ejection the case mouths are dented. I think I can size the dent out, but I'd rather solve the problem and not work the neck more than necessary. I'm using reloads I made...

    Neck and Body Sizing

    For a 30-06 semi auto hunting rifle (BAR), could I neck size with a Lee collet die, then size with a Redding body die and achieve the same result as a complete full-length sizing and have reliable feeding? Does the body die require lube? Neck or body size first? For bottleneck stuff, 'till...

    CCW for Alaska Visitor

    Forgive me if this has been covered, but I did not turn up any result with a quick search. Can non residents legally conceal and open carry in Alaska without permit? Or is this privilege for Alaska residents only? Are vehicles okay too? I'll be visiting remote interior AK starting Nov 1st...

    Please Help Me Purchase a Powder Measure

    I have a chargemaster for rifle powders. I find it's pretty slow with small charges of fine pistol powder. I also have the Lee cheap powder measure and for the money it's pretty good. My son is very into pistol reloading and I'm looking for a powder measure that does it's best work with...

    Anyone know anything about this new Alliant powder? http://www.alliantpowder.com/products/powder/be-86.aspx From what I see, Alliant doesn't even list recipes for it.

    Using N110 with 357 & 44 mag

    I'm considering switching from H110/W296 to N110 in 357 & 44 mag. I'm using common bullet weights. I can actually get VV powders and supposedly there's less flash and blast with N110. However, I'm finding significant load data differences between Hornady (and most other sources) and VV. I...

    Opinion: Who Should be Prohibited for Life?

    At times, people inquire about their status as potentially prohibited persons and our responses are full of personal opinion about how we feel, regarding which crimes should and shouldn't qualify as causing a life prohibition from firearms possession. I tend to believe in less restriction, but...

    Measuring Fine Powders

    I use a cheap Lee powder thrower that has served me well with the exception of metering very fine powders, such as H110/W296. With that powder, my unit binds and/or leaks badly regardless of adjustment. Can anyone recommend a thrower that handles fine powders better? Extra Credit: Can you...

    SF Sheriff arrested for DV

    The sheriff of San Fransisco County has been arrested and charged with misdemeanor domestic violence. Of course a conviction would result in him becoming a prohibited person. Personally, I find some interest in this case for a couple reasons. The myth that those in LE are protected has been...

    Lying to LE

    I'm in CA. I'm curious about my rights if questioned by LE and if lying is a crime. I do know LE is not bound to be truthful with their subjects. I don't plan to lie and I don't plan to have an encounter where I might consider lying, but a friend of mine was snared in a fish & game checkpoint...

    Necking up/down -- 338-06

    About a year ago I bought a 338-06 rifle from a buddy that came with a small amount of factory ammo. I knew going in that I would have to fork over the dough for factory cases or make my own. I've been using the brass I saved from the expensive factory ammo as well as picked up 20, 30-06 cases...

    Case Weight -- what does it mean?

    I have found, regardless of caliber, my cases weigh (descending): Federal (heaviest) Lapua Winchester Nosler (lightest) (weighing untrimmed cases) The few Remington cases I have are all loaded, so I can't weigh. Anyone know where Remington places in comparison? I'm a little surprised to...
