    Are Drilled Flash Holes An Indicator Of Ammo/Case Quality?

    I've read that Lapua is now making at least some of their brass with punched rather than drilled flash holes. I just bought some Norma .375 H&H and it was all drilled. Is drilled vs punched really that big a deal?

    Small Pistol Primers IN STOCK! Only $1999!

    That's one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine dollars for 5000 primers! And I thought it was only Ebay sellers that had that much gall. https://fedarm.com/product/primers-boxer-sp/

    Most Revolutionary Rifle Cartridge of the last 150 Years?

    Title pretty much says it all. What single cartridge did the most to bring rifle shooting to where it is today worldwide?

    Corrosion Resistance of Nitride vs Chrome Lined Barrels

    Specifically, which one is likely to be better for use with corrosive primed ammunition? First off, I have no illusions that either one is going to be a "shoot it and forget about it" proposition. East Texas summers are very hot and humid and I'll sometimes get a little red on the first patch...

    Headspacing .375 H&H Off the Shoulder?

    I've been loading .338 Win Mag and .303 British to headspace off the shoulder for decades with no problems and greatly increased case life even though they were "designed" to headspace off of the belt/rim respectively.

    New Production 7.5 Swiss Stripper Clips

    Northridge International is apparently selling newly manufactured stripper clips made of nylon and fiberglass. Has anyone here tried them? They're kinda pricy at almost $15 each, but that doesn't look so bad when you see what originals are going for on eBay...

    Inclusion in WWII 30-06 Brass?

    My brother came to visit and brought his new (to him) M1D with an original M84 scope. Since we wanted to get in a good bit of shooting, I loaded up 100 rounds using the only heavy military 30-06 brass that I had on hand (It was old TW-42 that I'd received as virgin, loaded M2, AP rounds a couple...

    Prvi Partizan 7.5 Swiss 174 grain soft point factory loads for deer?

    My son recently left home to attend college up north. He took his 1948 manufactured Swiss K31 rifle with him to use while deer hunting with friends. Unfortunately, we never had a chance to work up a load for the rifle, so he'll be hunting with Prvi Partizan 174 grain soft point factory loads...
