    Smith & Wesson m&p 10

    Anyone used one? Really been wanting a ar10 and am studying this one a little. I like that it has a thin barrel for portability but am really curious on the accuracy I should expect. I really love 308 for hunting and would love the option of te smith and it would give me a good excuse to buy...

    Cabelas media separator!

    Wow, I bought one a couple months ago when I acquired a 5 gallon bucket full of .40 brass. I have been reloading for 5-6 years now and all I can say is WOW. I can't believe I've been such a cheapskate all this time! The thing is amazing, just 8-10 seconds of turning the handle slowly and...

    MBC Glock Bullets?

    So I finally got my glock 23 .40 cal few months ago. Got the dies, bulge buster, a 5 gallon bucket of free .40 brass (nice to have friends with connections!) and most importantly a storm lake barrel. I've been shooting 180 grain fmj and carry 180 grain XTP factory loads in the factory barrel...

    Reloading for Glock 40 cal

    I've been reloading for a few years now but never 40 cal or esp a Glock! Mine does bulge some of the cases on new ammo slightly as I've read online they tend to do. I've seen on boards that they are really hard on brass so I have a couple questions. 1. Should I limit the number of times I...

    Smith & Wesson Shield bulging cases

    Just picked up my much anticipated M&P 9mm shield las week. I shot about 75 rounds through it yesterday. It was 100% reliable and shot very well for a sub compact. However, after returning home and inspecting my brass I noticed lt had bulged quite a bit of the brass i had shot. It appears the...

    9mm S&W Shield Bulges Cases?

    Just picked up my shield this week! I shot about 75 rounds through it the 1st time today without incident. It shot surprisingly well and functioned 100%! Of course I was shooting reloads as I have been reloading 9mm for a few years now. I have 2 other 9mm's and I was shooting a FMJ load that...

    Thoughts on the Ruger American Rifle?

    Was curious what anyone that has one of these thinks about it? Seems like a good rifle for the money with some great features. I'm really interested in accuracy and if anyone has had any issues. I'm seriously considering a 308 since I already reload for my rem 5r and have components to brew...

    Reloading for the Glock 10mm

    I am an experienced reloader but have never shot a glock much less owned one. I am considering purchasing a glock 10mm to replace my Taurus tracker 44 mag as my archery season carry gun for protection from pigs, wild dogs, meth heads and rabid squirrels. I love the idea of having 16 rounds...

    Opinions please: Retire this brass?

    Ok folks, this is my first "precision" rifle and I've been using Lapua brass. This brass has been loaded 9 times since I bought it 2 years ago. It has been annealed and full length re sized on the 7th loading. Every other time I have just used my lee collet neck sizer. My 308 load is 45.1...

    IMR 8028 XBR for 223/556?

    So after finally getting a ar15 I've been doing some loads and thninking of trying this powder. So far here is my experience: VARGET: Very accurate and meters ok in my lee pro auto disk. What I don't like is that at max charges its a bit of a pain to run in my lee classic turret. I have to...

    Ar15 223, carbine powders?

    I finally got my first ar15 last week! Wanted one years. I've been shooting a mini 14 and wow the accuracy is amazing when compared, but that's a whole other topic. Anyhow, I've been loading 223 for a few years and that's not my question. I have a crap ton of varget and imr4064 that I've been...

    Help! Scope won't adjust up anymore!

    So I'm trying to replace a POS tasco with a Nikon 6-18x40 mildot from midway USA. I believe the scope only has 40 MOA of adjustment. So I get it all set up and try to bore sight it. It ran out of up adjustment and the bore sighter shows it to still be 16 inches high with the turret maxed out...

    Ruger SR-556 worth it?

    I am getting ready to by my 1st AR15 and have been studying a bit. The ruger comes with a lot of the features that I want such as the free floating quad rail, and flip up battle sights. Comparing prices on a couple models it appears to be a good deal if the gas piston is worth it. If I...

    HERCO loads in 44 mag?

    I recently was given some powder from the 1980's. It all smells fine and is not dusty so I plan on using it up. I noticed Herco was listed for 44 mag in my Lee 2nd edition but it's not listed on the alliant website. Actually the only hero loads they have is for shotguns. My question is: is...

    Shot-shell loaders help, 3 free Mec presses today!

    Can you see your lead bullets in flight?

    Sorry if this is a dumb question but i shoot quite a bit and have never noticed this: A buddy and myself were shooting some of my 44mag(light loads) and 9mm full power lead hand loads Saturday. The sun was just overhead and slightly behind us and we were shooting at some steel targets having...

    I've seen the light! (case trimming)

    After hours of frustration trimming 556 brass with the lee trimmer I had enough. The cases kept sipping out of the shell holder when I got the drill going. They would trim a tad too short if it got off center and I still have a wound on my index finger from tightening the shell holder ring. I...
