Want to start annealing brass I have been reloading for a long time, but I have never annealed my brass. I have a decent amount of fired brass for 223, 30-30, 270 Win, and 7.7x58 Japanese. The 223 brass has been loaded and reloaded several times. I want to start annealing to get more...

Can a rifle be custom made in any caliber/cartridge even if that cartridge has no SAAMI specs? I want to get a custom made bolt action rifle in 7.7x58 Japanese Arisaka. I don't want to use a rifled action taken from one of the milsurp rifles, I want a completely newly made, custom made rifle...

https://www.sigsauer.com/store/whiskey5-1-5x24-mm.html I'm considering this optic for a 10.5 inch barrel 5.56 AR pistol build. I am looking for advice from anyone who has used these optics. I am particularly wondering if the red dot is bright enough to be seen easily. I am used to using...

I have used H-335 for 223 reloading with good success in terms of results when the rounds are fired. It does meter very nicely in my Dillon XL650 and it seems like a good powder to work with. I can use it for the other rifle calibers I load for; 30-30 and 7.7x58 Japanese Arisaka. However...

UPDATED in post #36, second page. Failure to extract with 9 mm Titegroup: not enough powder, or too much? I just started making 9 mm rounds with Titegroup and had several rounds each mag that the fired round stayed in the chamber, did not extract, and thus jammed up the firing string. Easily...

I want to pull the bullets from some loaded ammo and then use the primed brass to load other powder and other bullets. I will be using the grip-n-pull tool with each round mounted in a case holder in a single stage RCBS press for the pull process. Do I need to re-size the necks before loading...

I have been loading for about 10 years, 9 mm, 357/38, and 223 using Dillon XL650 and Dillon dies. I want to start loading for the 7.7x58 Japanese (Arisaka) rifle cartridge and Dillon does not make dies for that cartridge, so I've looked around to see what I can buy. RCBS, Lee, Hornady, and...

I am in the market for one or two complete AR uppers, for home defense AR's. DS Arms, Inc has some on sale for reasonable prices, $250-350. Are they a good-to-go company, or should I look elsewhere? I want either 14.5 inch barrel with welded flash-hider or 16 inch barrel with mid-length gas...

I have a Dillon XL650 and I generally like it a lot. I want to get a second press, that will be left set up for 9 mm loading (rarely, if ever will do a caliber change out). I currently use my XL650 to load 223, 9 mm, 357 Mag and 38 Special on it. Caliber change is not too bad in terms of time...

I sighted in my AR rifle at 50 yards with Aimpoint PRO and Burris 3x magnifier from seated position at bench. Target was essentially in-line with the rifle bore, or just slightly lower (~4 inches?). Shot groups were fine, small and compact, reproducible mag after mag. Then, when I went prone...

I am experienced with pistol reloading, but new to 223 reloading on Dillon XL 650 press. Will be using Win 748, once-fired and range pick up brass, 55 gr BT bullets from Bulletheads, CCI small rifle primers. I have Dillon XL 650, two tool heads, Dillon carbide 3-die 223 rifle die set, RT1200B...

I am getting ready to load 223/5.56 ammo for the first time. Have been doing a lot of reading, watched a bunch of YouTube videos. I have the dies, the primers, the once-fired brass, the bullets, the powder. I've got the Dillon super-swager thingie to get the military crimp out of the primer...

I was thinking about getting one of the FNH AR's that they are now selling, FN-15. I think that FNH is making the M4's for the U.S. military now, is that correct? Anyway, does anyone have any experience or first hand info about their AR's? thanks

Have a P229R that I use with a Crimson Trace laser grip and TLR-1 for home security. Am interested in mounting a micro reflex sight to the top of the slide, does not have to be Trijicon brand, can be something else like that. Does anyone know if this is possible or a gunsmith who can do that work?

I apologize if this "should have been" posted to the rifle forum, but it does deal with semi-auto pistols, so I think I made the right decision to put it in the autoloader pistol forum. Sorry if I chose wrong. Is it possible to remove/replace the buffer tube on a Sig PM400 AR PISTOL ? I...

I have a Sig P290RS. It has been an excellent gun. I use it for conceal carry nearly every day. Very slim, lightweight, and easy to carry. Shoots very smoothly for something so small. Very accurate gun; very easy to shoot accurately. So, here's my question: I shoot at the range often...

I'm confused about some terminology (and the implications of that terminology for selecting load data): Are "JHP" ("jacketed" hollow point) bullets for reloading "jacketed" or "plated" ??? I have a bunch of 9 mm FMJ from Montana Gold that are open (i.e., lead showing) at the bottom, and I am...

I am loading 9 mm on a Dillon XL650. I've been using Montana Gold 9 mm 115 grain bullets, but they are out of stock. Can I use 357 Sig 125 Grain HP's to load 9 mm? They both are .355 diameter. I'd use the data I have for 124 grain 9 mm HP's to calculate the powder load and the COL. Just...
