    Pistol brace SBR stamp

    I got my free form-1 back approved this week for a CZ Scorpion with brace. "Approved with conditions" and at the end the "Pursuant to ATF Final Rule 2021R-08F." I *think* this means it is no different than my other 2 SBR form-1's and if I want to, I can replace the brace with an actual stock...

    CCI #400 for AR or trade - what would you do?

    I have ALWAYS used SRM for 223 & 300BLK since 99.9% goes thru an AR. CCI #41, Wolf SRM, Fiocchi SRM. Always looked at it like added safety since I have so many ARs and some people reach their hands into my ammo cans for their ARs. In all my .223 could easily go thru any of 30 different ARs...

    wrong spot but you guys will know....BP

    Buddy's boy shoots a 50 cal muzzleloader. Had Pyrodex RS. I was tasked with picking him up more for a stocking stuffer but none at LGS. They had (& I got) Triple 7 T72. I think he typically uses about 70gr of powder. Would he do same with triple 7 or are those way different? I also got him...

    I have to change my 9mm subsonic load :(

    My 9mm suppressor was direct thread. Light enough it would work that way on an M9 but it mostly went on fixed barrel hosts like CZ Scorpion. I have a recoil booster (Nielsen device, LID, inertial decoupler, whatever you prefer to call it) now and was disappointed that I was getting 75%...

    Sig Sierra 3 BDX scope level indicator issue

    Just got this scope on an M400 rifle. I do not have the rangefinder and I have not set up the phone app yet. The scope is mounted level. Inside the scope reticle are 2 dots on the far left & right that serve as a "digital level". If you're off one way, the right light comes on, of the other...

    Question on headspace gauging

    If you build a new 5.56 chamber AR which HS gauges do you use? Just curious, 223 GO and 5.56 MIN are same so no-brainer there. 223 NO-GO, most [all I've ever tried] 5.56 will close on that. So from there, I dislike 5.56 MAX and use 223 field for the 5.56 NO-GO (since such animal doesn't...

    Does Lee Auto Drum work with W296/H110?

    Set up the 650 for a run of 300BLK supersonic and found out my Lee Auto Disk - with the disks or adjustable bar - leaks too much and just makes a mess and inconsistent charges. I have a Lee Auto Drum arriving today and plan to try that out for it - before I do, am I going to have same issue or...

    Dillon locator pin tabs

    The plastic tabs that go under the brass station locator pins...do those serve a purpose other than making the pin easier to grab and remove? Does slightly raising them do anything?

    How do you clean case feeder?

    I tried clorox wipes and 409. That works great on the gray plates that go inside and quickly makes them new looking. On the plastic parts of the case feed and the tube the shells travel down however, the lube + grime doesn't really come off well. this is the "after" picture which is still...

    RMR 115gr MMPR

    They still make the 115gr? 124 is all I see on website. Bought some a while ago and was playing around with them this weekend. I was kind of impressed with them. 4.8gr W231, CCI #500, 1.075" OAL from a little Springfield Hellcat vs 1 gal water jugs..... 3rd jug caught the bullet. It hit...

    RT1500 trimmer vacuum setup

    I like how the trimmer works overall. But I have a problem with it using a small 1.5 gal shop vac ($40 at Lowe's). The vacuum seems plenty strong enough, but the trimmings get stringy and clog up in the hose making a bird nest blocking airflow. I'm thinking maybe because that hose is...

    Old school reloading....muzzleloader questions

    Buddy's boy just got a black powder rifle so he can hunt muzzleloader season too. Instead of opting for something somewhat practical, he wanted a .50 cal Traditions Kentucky Rifle model R2020. Guess I'll be trapping a raccoon so he can make a hat to go with it :) I know 0 about a muzzleloader...

    W231/HP-38 vs HS-6 for 147gr 9mm

    I try to simplify and keep minimal types of powders on hand. Other than some low volume stuff, all pistol is W231 powder. However, for some reason, I use HS-6 for 147gr 9mm subsonic loads. Either ACME or MBC coated cast bullets. Getting ready to load some more & low on HS-6 since I buy by...

    Dillon 650 alignment help

    So...was previously having the issues of sideways squished primers & have had other little issues I've had to tinker with.......overall like the 650 a LOT ...... when it runs. I managed to bend the index arm on the primer feed and couldn't get it bent back with same curve to work (and oddly my...

    Sideways squished primers on 650

    What causes that? Seeing about 1 in 125 with a primer going in on its side & squishing flat. Usually feel it & catch it right there, but a few get by. Using Wolf primers, saw the same thing with Fiocchi though. Filling with a Vibraprime that needs a lot of little tapping to keep primers...

    Dillon 1050 vs 1100

    Looks like 1050 is still around but they are same price. Is 1100 better, or just different design? i.e. if both available at same price good reason to pick one over the other?

    Dillon CP 2000 ???s

    I just stumbled across this recently - didn't know it existed. I VERY much like the looks of it and seems like it would be wonderful for large batches of military brass .223. Just a few thoughts rolling around in my head though....... 1. It's expensive. Would be a huge timesaver, but at...

    SIG P365 SAS sight adjustment???

    I looked thru manual & it only references the standard 3-dot sights, not the SAS sight. I can't see any way to adjust that sight - anyone know how? Mine shoots pretty low & a little right. I always joke to my dealer that every gun he sells me "shoots low & to the left" cuz I'm sure he gets...

    6.5 Creedmoor basic recipe info

    Going to get into loading this for my buddy's 2 boys who both just got 6.5CM rifles. This will be for deer (the tiny ones here in NC) but also larger pronghorn & mule deer out west later. I'm thinking 140gr Hornady SST & H4350 but am a 6.5 novice so if that's not a good combo for intended use...

    Brass processing service

    Maybe I dreamed this, but I would have sworn under oath in court there were companies out there that would process your brass for you on a X:Y ratio basis. i.e. I send 1000 pieces of 1x LC brass, I get 500 (or some amount) pieces back sized, trimmed, & swaged. Or I get reformed 300BLK brass...
