    Which stock absorbs more recoil?

    I am wondering if there is viable info out there on if a synthetic stock absorbs more recoil than say a traditional wood stock, or vice versa. Does a laminate stock absorb more or less then either of the two? I am looking at a new Savage rifle, and up until I acutally held one, I was sold on the...

    Hornady LNL and LEE FCD?

    Okay, so from what I understand Hornady does not recommend having dies come in contact with the shell plate at all. My question is, if a.223 FCD needs to have contact with the shell plate or ram to close the crimping fingers and crimp the bullet, how do you use them on the LNL? I thought I had...

    Bulk Brass?

    I know you guys out there have some sources for bulk brass, .223 in particular. I asked every cop I know, but evidently now they actually police thier brass and give it back to BVAC or HSM for discounted training ammo. And everyone at the ranges around here seem to shoot steel case .223 now. I...

    XD/XDm owners! Powder River Trigger kits?

    Has anyone installed their own PRP trigger kits? I am sure they would like everyone to send thier lower to them for fitting/labor charge, but can it be done by us?
