    Thompson Thunderhawk 209 Conversion Kit...

    I have a Thompson Center Thunderhawk that I love. It was found in a basement shot, left and crusted and rusted. I was able to break everything free and get it cleaned up. Shoots spectacular with TC shockwaves and 100gr of powder. I have had a few instances of primer misfires and see that at...

    RRA disappointment...

    Ordered an upper from them on Jan 30th through their highest sales dealer. Was told 16ish days. I am good with it not being on time but over 90 days with no end in sight is ridiculous. They state they have no idea when they are receiving more barrels from Wilson. That has been the excuse...

    Reloading for a short barrel revolver...

    I have been reloading for a good bit now but have never reloaded for a short barrel revolver. Any tips/hints? The pistol is a Ruger SP 101 with the 2.25" barrel in .357Mag. My current powders I use for pistol are Titegroup and Universal Clays. Any powder recommendations?

    40 S&W which bullet weight? Powder?

    Just starting to load 40S&W and was wondering what bullet weight and powder everyone likes? The why would be great also. I am currently loading 380, 9mm, 223, and 308win. The powders I have on my bench for pistol are Universal Clays and Titegroup. Loading for a Glock 22. Just going to...

    Lee Reloader Press...

    Deciding to get a separate press just to use for military crimps (Rcbs crimp removal die). I am guessing this press is strong enough for the job but wanted to make sure....the price scares me. Ha. My Classic Turret is great for the price so I am not that worried.

    Lee Classic Turret Press - 2 months

    This is a quick review of the Lee Classic Turret Press after using it for 2 months. I purchased the kit from Natchezs for $186. I have loaded 9mm, 380, 308, and .223 on this press. Set-up: I found the press easy to set up. Despite having instructions akin to the ones found in the...

    Titegroup...

    New to loading with Titegroup (9mm and 380). Tested my first loads with it yesterday (9mm, 124gr Berrys rnhb, cci primers, 3.9gr of Titegroup) and it was DIRTY. I literally had ash on my arms. Is this normal with it?

    Received my RIA 9mm....

    Going to add to this later with an actual range report. I must say I was impressed upon opening the box. Very smooth, everything from the trigger pull to the slide movement. It was COVERED in oil. After a full tear down and inspection I was still pleased. The grips are too wide and are...

    1911 grip screw size...

    As the title indicates... What size are the grip screws for a 1911? Going to see if my hardware store has some stainless, hex head, screws in stock for my new 1911 I am picking up tomorrow.

    Nosler Custom Competition

    Any hands on experience with them? I just ordered some so hopefully they work out well. .308 with a 24" 1-12 heavy bbl I am waiting on some other to come in to compare...all 168 grain since that is what my rifle liked best in factory ammo. That means I will have all these to sample and...

    Form 1 and a self made AR lower...

    I am finishing up my self made AR lower this weekend (hopefully). I am going to put the LPK in it sometime next week after that and check it for function. I am wanting to build an SBR upper for it and need to do the paperwork. Anything special I should do/need to know since it is not...

    Actually have extra powder, can I ship?

    Can I as an individual ship powder? I don't think I can as it has to be shipped by someone with a contract with UPS or FedEx for Hazmat. Let me know if I can. What happened is I had orders in at two places for Varget (4#'s both places). I thought I had successfully canceled one order but...

    9mm range gun...

    Looking at full size 9mm range guns. Can't make my mind up between the Canik Shark FC or RIA Tactical FS. I know they are different styles and that is the point. Talk me out or into one. Both are about the same price point.

    UK gun control history.

    What/Where is a good place to read the history on the hows/why's of their loss of firearms. Doesn't have to be the UK only. I am interested in the topic overall. The right (natural right) to be able to defend ones self seems natural to me and wanna read more into the loss of such a natural right.

    Lee Loader question...

    I have decided I REALLY like the Lee Loaders for load work up. I have a question that I think I know the answer to but wanted verification,,, The Lee Loaders only neck size...correct? If that is the case then it probably wouldn't work in the same capacity for working up my AR loads. Two are...

    Getting better...

    But still frustrating. I am able to readily find some things I am looking for which is a positive change compared to a few months ago but the issue arises when I need smaller items. With less expensive items it doesn't pay to have multiple shipping charges. Patience has never been my...

    No shipping to Ohio?

    Why do some list no shipping of ammo or components to OH? Their is nothing we really restrict besides mags with a capacity over 30. Is it just an ignorance thing? Maybe on my end? Or is it a plagiarizing of other listings verbiages to stay in compliance? Specifically I see this on GB quite...

    Wanted to see what experience you have had with .308 rounds loaded with TAC powder? Especially 168 grain bullets. Thanks again.

    What do you do and how long to wait?

    Lets say hypothetically :neener: that you received a shipment from a well known online retailer. In this said delivery you received an extra box of bullets. You tried calling their toll free number over 20 times with nothing but a busy signal. You have emailed them a couple times to no avail...

    .308 Hornady Match vs. Sierra Matchking

    I plan on using/currently use Hornady for most of my bullets in rifle. Just wondered if anyone has pitted these two bullets against each other and the outcomes. I have had good results with the Sierra but have never tried the Hornady match stuff. I definitely like the price and use...
