My AR15 is a home build with a Spike's LPK. Today at the range when I fired it, if I held the trigger back after firing, it would fire a second round. I thought it might have been my reloads, so I put in some Wolf ammo and got the same thing. I happened a few times and they put the rifle away...

After spending some time overseas and moving a few states I got back to reloading after a 20 month break. First loads were for my new 9mm XDS, XDSC and CZ Skorpion. Picked up where I left off experimenting with 95gr. 95gr Speer TMJ from RMR at 1.030" 6.0 and 6.4 Longshot 7.6 HS-6 It...

I went to the range/gun store today with my wife and we decided that my Kel Tec Sub 2000 just isn't for us. On the way out I asked the salesman about 9mm carbines and wound up leaving with a great deal on a new CZ Skorpion carbine. I really like the way it handles. Feels well balanced, good...

I came back from overseas and while I was gone my wife took my XDS 9 and doesn't plan to give it back. No worries, I'll buy another one. I looked and noticed that springfield makes them in 40 SW now. Does anyone have any feedback on the 40 models?

I'm a new hunter and living in Korea right now until the summer. Going to live in Florida and hopefully hunt there next season. A lot of the Korean markets sell lightweight synthetic vests in orange and other bright colors. The attached picture, or something like it costs about $9 here and...

I tried to convert a LC .308 case to .243 today but once it was resized the case measure 2.025. Looking at the Lyman manual, the trim to length to is 2.035 and my case is too short. I found a link to the SAAMI specs on a similar thread and the drawing there for .243 goes all the way down to...

I'm going on a trip for a year and will leave most of my guns in storage somewhere. What you all recommend to protect them? I'll be leaving an AR, Romanian SKS, Yugo M48 and Mosin, among others.

I bought some H4198 and IMR 4320 recently and decided to try them in my AR. I know there are (and buy) better powders for the AR, but there's data for both powders in both .308 (lead for 4198) and .223 and that's what makes reloading fun. Anyways, I loaded the following to try to work up a...

My son and I loaded up a few hundred rounds of .223 tonight on my Hornady LNL for a range trip. A little over half way through, I thought I'd gotten a case with a tight primer pocket, and pushed hard on it, but actually the slide hadn't come all the way forward. The primer punch removed a...

I built an AR last year using a Stag lower and a Spike's LPK. the safety selector moves freely, but not as easily as on most ARs. Could this be something I did wrong or just the fit of the parts?

I got a lb of Titegroup from Midsouth this week and noticed today that Hodgdon has some load data for it in .223 and .308. I loaded up 3 rounds with 8gr and 168gr bullet and went to the range. It was very pleasant to shoot, but of course didn't group well and shot several inches low...

Went to a nearby WMA to scout for deer. Found a few spots that looked good, but not a trace of deer. Stopped by the range about closing time on the way out. The best time to go to the range is just before hunting season. I think I got about 100 30.06 and 30/30, a few boxes of 270, and box of...

A few weeks ago I got a package of 50 powdercoated bullets from Blarby through the Pay it Forward thread. I loaded them with my nickel cases to make them look cooler and even used some of my precious HS-6. As requested, here's the range report. Rather than type it all out, I have attached...

I'm thinking about trying cast bullets for .308 to save money and shoot more. A buddy gave me some 230gr cast bullets meant for a 300 BLK. I measured a few and they were all .308 or smaller. Would that cause leading? I also don't have any data for 230gr, closest I have is 200, and that' a big...

Right now it's the only one of six pistol calibers that I won but don't reload. I've had a Beretta Tomcat for a while that my wife and I were about to sell and then found out that our 10 year twins are just big enough to enjoy shooting it. Did some math today and realized that it'll only take...

I have a Savage Axis in .308 that I've enjoyed handloading for. Problem is that I have a small frame and after trying several powders and loads I've decided that it's just not fun to shoot. The reduced loads with 4895 were nice, but I don't want to be dependent on one powder, especially one...

I like discreet carry cases. I take my folding stock AK to the range in a tennis racket case. Someday I'm going to sew my own carry case out the most non tactical pattern I can find at Hobby Lobby. Last week my wife ran across an old saxophone case that a neighbor had put on the curb with...

I bought 100 of these from Midsouth's blem sale earlier this month. They don't look blemished at all. The marks on the base are because this particular bullet was loaded and then pulled by me. 41.5gr of H414 produced the most accurate group of anything I've ever shot, so I want some more but...

I looking at Midsouth's sale today and saw these https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/0028540062B250/10mm_.400_Diameter_200_Grain_Poly_Tip_Muzzleloader_250_Count_(Blemished) They're not made for a .40 S&W, but could it work? The weight and diameter are right. I think these are .001 too...

I'm using Hornady dies on a LNL AP, and every once in a while it'll take some extra effort to seat the bullet and I'll get something looking like the two cases below. I haven't loaded much .243 yet, but with the .308 it seems that sometimes I'll get some rounds finished right, and then put the...
