    DPMS Lo-pro upper question

    I'm thinking of building a short, lightweight AR using the DPMS Lo-Pro upper, as I like the slickside aspect. Advertising I see says the rail height is "slightly higher than standard A3" but it sure doesn't look very/any different by just casual inspection. I was thinking of putting a...

    Why the unthinkable will happen for biometic IDs.

    Here we have a case of some 200,000 ATM card numbers, AND their PINs being compromised. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11731365/ Todays little debit terminals are all designed so that tampering is difficult at best due to countermeasures (epoxied boards, self-disabling on dissasembly, etc)...

    Lobbyists Gone Wild videos to follow, I suppose. First I've heard of it, if it's old news, Moderator please wipe it. The politicos responses are quite informative too: And my fave: Yeah... right.

    Old vets' grudge meets NOLA fallout? Help me out...

    OK, just about everybody has seen the widely played videos of CHP and the guard units during the NOLA thing. Many gun owners were outraged, gun-stores flooded with customers (no pun) for a while, etc, I don't want to rehash the whole thing... ...but, this is the fifth time I've walked into a...

    AA2520 in .223 with 68grn Hornadys

    I loaded up some SMK 69s for an AR, over AA 2520 but didn't make it to the range last wkend. I figured I'd create some more starting loads with a different bullet, and bought a package of Hornady 68s. Unfortunately, I don't have (can't find) data for the combination among the load books I...

    Max cartridge gages good for anything?

    I acquired a .223 max cartridge gage (Frankford Arsenal) to double-check all loads for an AR. Well, it didn't take long to figure out only 1 of probably 20 resized and trimmed cases dropped into the gage. At first, I was concerned about headspace being an issue, the die being bad, etc. A...

    HP38 vs. W231?

    Made the trip to the nearest reloading specialty store (40 mins) and was looking for some of the highly recommended (on this forum) powders for .45ACP. I found Clays, Universal, AA#2&5, but no W231 (temporarily out). Clerk puts a can of HP38 on the counter and says "same thing, a touch...

    Need help diagnosing why 1st .45 reloads blow..

    Went to range and started shooting my 1st reloads... My own interpretation of events: My reloads are :cuss: I must be doing something (or many things) wrong. They fit in the chamber, and go "bang" with decent accuracy, so I must have the case sizing/priming/powder-weighing stuff down...

    Picking a powder measure on a budget

    I need feedback from owners... Will be reloading .45/9mm/.38Special and .223Rem. Just a couple weeks ago I started with .45 (damn this hobby is addictive). I'm on a serious budget, but would like to charge cases a little more quickly than with dipper/trickle method. Basically, my budget...

    help a n00b with .45 ACP reloads

    New to reloading and this board, please be patient... not trolling here. I decided to get into handloading. Mainly for the .45 pistol (DW 1911) lately. Procured what I needed thinking "It's .45 ACP, been done a million years, should find lots o concrete data." 3 Questions came to mind...
