    Steyr M9A1 owners

    I need a hand in the reloading area for this gun. Ive just picked one up a couple of days ago.(happens to be the same one i shot and fell in love with about 6 years ago) The little research i have been able to do so far gives me conflicting data. Some say it is a polygonal rifling...

    Hornady 22cal 55gr #2267 variance?

    So, ive been trying to work up a load in my AR with these bullets and only frustrating myself to death with them. I cant seem to get decent groups. 3" groups at 100 yards at best, and 10" groups on the last set i made. I've run through and checked everything i can think to check...

    non-common fun rounds to reload?

    So i was thinking tonight that it would be nice to add a unique gun to my collection. Im looking for a round that is not overly common, but fun to reload. I was thinking WSSM, 6.5 Grendel, or possibly 6.5 creedmore. For me the more oddly shaped the cartridge, the better. What say you?

    223 IMR 4198 Need data help

    So here's the deal. I was working up a ladder for my AR. 55g with 4198. According to Hornady the max listed is 20.00. If memory is serving me correctly, lyman states 21.7 as the max. I am unable to get to IMR's site to get data right now. I cant get it to cycle reliably at anything under...

    Need a history lesson.. Walther Olympia

    Hey all, I was with family over the weekend and was shown a gun that my grandfather used to win quite a few pistol competitions with. From what i can tell it is a Walther, and i believe its an olympia with a custom grip. It has an engraving (from what i was told) from 2 of the original...

    Here's a problem

    While trying to find some polls relating to the general public that werent tainted by MSM (hah good luck right?) i took a look at this poll Most of the consensus is that there should be more gun control. The problem i think comes just before the gallop poll starts. "Do you happen to have...

    Need some rifle advice from a relaoding perspective

    I will be building a carbine length upper within the next month or so. I already have a bolt action 223. I dont really have a defined purpose for it. General purpose i suppose, target shooting, self defense, SHTF, and possibly hunting. Out of the following calibers, which would you choose...

    Judge my reloads / shooting

    This may not be the place for this, but this is pretty much the only forum section i hang in, so bear with me. So this weekend i did my best to create match grade ammo. For reference i was using this target at 100 yards...

    Reloading for .223 bolt action

    I've tried to do some reading and searching of older posts here, but didn't come up with too much. (probably because i don't know what to search for) I'm adding .223 to the list of calibers to reload. This will be my first time reloading for rifle. Some of the things I've read say i don't...

    Caliper batteries...

    So i thought i would share. I don't know about you guys, but when im reloading, my calipers never get a chance to turn off so i burn through a bunch. At the cost of 5.00 for 3 batteries in most stores, i had to find something different. So anyway, I took a chance and bought a lot of 150...

    question about combining powders

    So I've gone though most of my first jug of Bullseye. I picked up another jug of BE last night. Is it safe to pour whats left of the old BE in with the new BE to consolidate space or should i leave them separate?

    Need some advice...casting

    So i've been kind of toying with the idea of casting for a few months now. I know this is kind of like going to a bar and asking if i should have a drink but i figure there is no other place to get a straight (even if somewhat biased) opinion. So do i turn and run as fast as i can from the...

    New toy new rounds 45acp

    I picked up some 45 acp dies about a month ago. But i had nothing to separate ammo into components. Yesterday i solved that problem and bought an SR1911 ammo separator. Ive loaded for 380, 9mm and 38spcl. Is there anything i need to know or special caveats for 45acp? Other than ill need to...

    Got a new toy today.. SR1911

    So, I'm going to admit some things about myself that others might not like or may make fun of me for :neener: but its all good. Being the Ruger fanboi that i am, i picked up an SR1911 today. I will say i was a bit apprehensive about doing so considering its new in production and i was hearing...
