    Did you get the email from MidwayUSA about the sale prices on Speer rifle bullets?

    http://www.midwayusa.com/epromolisting.exe/showpage?promotionid=228558&eblastid=82120084&custnum=101084957&utm_source=speerriflebullets&utm_medium=eblast82120084 To say that I am unimpressed would be an understatement. I called and expressed my displeasure that they would even bother with...

    What accuracy do you expect at 100-yards from a 20" AR with A2 sights?

    With a rest, I regularly shoot 2½-MOA using my handloads at 100-yards with my 20" stainless steel barrelled AR-15 that has A2 sights. Recently, I shot one group that went under an inch but that was obviously not something I can ever repeat. It was a fluke. Am I missing something or is...

    CCI #41 primers are almost impossible to fully seat

    The only rifle round I load which uses small rifle primers is for a Bushmaster AR-15. So, in order to best protect me from slam-fires, I bought a few thousand CCI #41s sometime in 2006. These things have been a freekin pain-in-the-butt to fully seat. Been trying for over a year now to figure...

    Federal Premium VitalShok 00 Buckshot with FliteControl wad ~ WOW~ Pics

    Well, I made it to 1,000 posts on THR. So here's a personal experience that I'll pass along for my grand post. :) One of my home defense guns is a 12-ga 20" Mossberg 590 8+1 with ghost ring sights. It has a cylinder bore choke. A couple of years ago I had a frustrating experience trying...

    Wife bought me a 6" stainless Security Six today!

    It was a surprise anniversary gift. I have been shooting a blued 4" .38-Special Police Service Six for some of my really hot .38-Special handloads, trying to keep my 4" 686 and 4" Highway Patrolman strictly for shooting my .357 Magnum handloads. The Ruger Service Six is a strong and accurate...

    Brenneke Slug Recall and I'm pretty frustrated right now

    I read the Sticky at the top of this forum page, ( http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=3738757&highlight=brenneke+recall#post3738757 ) about the Brenneke Shotgun Slug recall. I first saw it in my American Rifleman magazine and decided tonight to check into the Rottweil Brenneke MP slug...

    DPX 110s and five other loads chrono'd from my 442

    Per the esteemed Jim March's suggestion in another thread here, I did some chronograph testing this afternoon of Cor-Bon DPX 110-gr .38 Special +P ammunition. The impetus behind his suggestion was because I have had less-than-satisfactory expansion results when I have shot this ammo thru my...

    Ruger Service Six as strong as a Security Six?

    I have a 4" Police Service Six in .38-Special and am wondering if the basic strength of the frame and cylinder is similar to the Security Six.

    (Pics) My 4" XD-45 Service Pistol now wears a TLR-2

    This is one fun package! My dogs wake me up to go outside every morning around 2:30 and this accompanies us into the night. I've got it zeroed @ 30' and the light is brighter than my Streamlight Stinger HP and is about equal to my Streamlight Scorpion.

    Encoreman, Thank You!!!!!!!

    Today's mail brought me the very nice .243 Winchester brass you sent. It looks great. I'm anxious to get busy loading it! I hope that you got the 10mm Auto brass today that I sent to you. If not, I'm sure it will be there Saturday. This was fun, getting to meet you and work out a trade...

    Need advice: .44Spl 200 LRNFP powder selection for 3" revolver

    A good friend has asked me to assemble some handloads for his two identical 3" .44Spl revolvers. He gave me several hundred swaged LRNFPs. I've got Titegroup, Clays, AA#5, AA#7, Red Dot, and Green Dot on hand. I'm going to prime the cases with Federal 150 large pistol primers. We've...

    Proposed AL bill would register every semi-auto, fingerprint owners and tax $50 each

    In this VERY gun-friendly state I don't see this getting passage, let alone the governors signature. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF ALABAMA: Section 1. This Act shall be known and cited as the "George Amison Jr. Act". Section 2. (a)(1) Any person who possesses an automatic or...

    10mm CorBon 155-gr DPX and Georgia Arms 180-gr Gold Dot chronograph comparison

    I previously started a thread about my attempt to find a reload recipie for a friend which would closely duplicate the velocity and felt recoil of his chosen carry round, which is Cor-Bon's excellent 10mm DPX 155-grain ammunition utilizing the Barnes all-copper bullet. I posted my report in...

    What 10mm firearm causes these dents in the ejected cases?

    I've been loading some once-fired 10mm ammo for a friend, and a lot of the cases have a recurring theme. There is a dent in the side of many of the cases, much like you would see in a .223 Rem case fired from a Mini-14 Ranch Rifle. The primers suggest that the 10mm rounds were shot thru...

    Worked up a practice load for friend who carries 10mm CorBon DPX 155-grain

    A shooting buddy asked me to work up a practice load that duplicates as closely as possible his carry load of CorBon DPX 155-gr 10mm in a Glock 29. This is a compact pistol with only a 3.78" barrel, so the advertised velocities for most 10mm ammunition is almost always quite a bit higher as...

    YIKES! Torn case rims on once-fired S&B .223 brass ~ what's the cause

    A good friend, who attends several tactical training schools every year, brought back a bucket of brass and shared it with me. The academy only allowed factory new ammunition to be used and students were encouraged to take the scrounged brass out with them. A lot of it was R-P and Federal...

    HELP! My 12ga Rem Fig-8 wads won't open when fired...

    I was checking some 12ga reloads yesterday over my chronograph and found something that is troubling. The four petals on the Remington Figure-8 wads are stitched. Of the few wads I recovered, each wad had only one of its four stitches break. Here's the load: Rem STS Premier and...

    Finally got a chronograph and my .45ACP reloads are slower than I expected

    Today I found out some surprising results when shooting two of my .45ACP guns. I finally have a chronograph with a printer and the velocities I got seem a bit low compared to what I was expecting. Guns: Springfield Armory 1911A1 5" and an XD-45 4" Load: Hornady 230-gr LRN, 5.0-gr...
