    Rather interesting muzzle brake.

    For those who use Lee PPM in a turret/progressive...

    I was wondering has anyone done a mod on their PPM to make it auto return so you don't have to fiddle with the handle when loading faster. I'd imagine you could set it up to be very much like the Auto Disk or Pro Auto disk with minimal effort but I can't find any pictures or anything of anyone...

    Free float with 1 7/8 ID

    Anyone know of any free floats that have at least a 1 7/8 inner diameter to them? I'm building a 16" 300 blk upper with pistol gas system and the barrel I have has a .936 gas block size. I've been looking at getting one of the paladin adjustable gas blocks (only reasonably priced one that can...

    Starting points for CFE223 and H335 under 55gr HP out of an AR

    So I'm about to start load workup for CFE223 and H335 under 55gr Dogtown HPs. CFE 223 is showing 26.0-28.0gr load range on the Nosler site. H335 shows 23.0-25.0gr on noslers site. Oddly enough my Lyman 49th shows 24.3-27.0 for H335. Unfortunately Hodgons reloading center site is down atm...

    Dogtown 55gr HPS, how will they do on hogs?

    So I'm starting into 223 reloading and got a bunch of dogtown HPs. So far I have been VERY impressed with the accuracy on these suckers, they are shooting easily sub-moa out of my DPMS carbine with IMR4895. Got some H335 to pick up soon from a local dealer as well so I should be able to shrink...

    Swapping rifle optics in 3 gun?

    Is it against the rules to go from say a 1-4x for one stage to a more high powered scope for another? My local 3 gun matches have steel out to 600 on one stage and I was curious if I could put a higher powered optic on just for this stage.

    Problems sizing 223

    Well I had my second stuck case today resizing 223. It was very hard to get up in the die (Lee FL 223) and of course didn't want to come back out. Got the case unstuck and the mandrel out of the case and went back to resizing. Anyway I ran into 2 more cases (so far) that have had that same...

    SIRT AR Laser Bolt, anyone have one?

    I've been looking at some ways to improve my dry fire practice time with my AR, getting tired of pulling the charging handle back everytime to reset the trigger and have been looking at the limited option available for this. The glockstore system looks nifty at first but doesn't seem like it...

    Question about scope ring height...

    So I'm looking at getting a nice higher power scope for checking accuracy of my AR loads (as well as throwing it on a FP10 308 once I eventually get that gun) and I did some measurements on my AR to determine the scope rings height. One thing I can't figure out though is what "(measured from...

    Where on the load range do you start with AR loads?

    So I just got back from the range working with my first load workup for my AR. Unfortunately not a single one of my loads would cycle my action. I was using IMR4895 over 55gr dogtown HPs. Did three sets of 9 loads 22.5, 23.0 and 23.5 all seated to 2.255. Since I don't have a chrono I...

    Any updates on Berry's SD hollow points?

    Was just thinking, I haven't been able to find any updates on if and when Berry's is going to release those. I heard alot of promising things about them, they were supposed to be comparable to Gold Dots at a very affordable price. I checked the website and can't even find anything on the...

    How do I read a .223 headspace gage?

    So I finally got all my stuff in to start reloading for me AR. Dillon headspace gage came in today and I had a question about how to accurately read it. So I know basically if its above or below the steps you need to resize more or toss the case. Pretty obvious if it's above the top step but...

    Amazing shooting from a WWII sniper vet.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQRpAxGVg4M The end of this video is absolutely mind blowing. So glad we had people like him defending not only our own country but the free world back then with his 1903A4.

    Anything I'm missing to get started on 223?

    Well I've had some things for AR loads for a while but finally bit the bullet on the rest today. I've had the Lee powder through die and shellplate for my Pro 1000 for a while (came with the used one I bought that had a full set of 38 special dies). Been slowly building up powders and have...

    Texas 10+ acre law for discharging firearms?

    On a local gun forum there is a running discussion of a shotgun newb wondering what to use for snakes and other varmints on the 15 acre property he is moving to. This property is in my city of Hutto and I informed him of the ordinance that seems to prohibit discharging firearms within city...

    Running with an AR...how?

    So I've oft wondered exactly what is the best way to run, especially long distances, with a rifle and still have it at the ready. I missed it this year, but every year there is a run and gun event held a few hours from me that consists of several miles of running leading to various shooting...

    Leaky ultrasonic?

    My ultrasonic seems to have just started leaking today. Its the Chicago Electric from HF, the larger one. I thought perhaps it was just residual water from the rim of the tank when I dump it getting down in the rest of the unit but after researching I'm not so sure. Seems all ultrasonics...

    Force on Force teamplay competition?

    So I just ran across the force on force videos on youtube and am very intrigued. Never got too interested in paintball or airsoft but this looks like a really fun way to run Counter Strike style matches that can get some pretty good realism. Does anyone actually run competitions like this, and...

    Heavy 9mm with W231?

    I'm thinking about messing around with some 147gr plated bullets (xtreme) to see if I get better accuracy than 124gr plateds and all I have for pistol powder is W231. I hear this isn't ideal necessarily as its a bit on the fast burning side of what you want for heavy for caliber bullets...

    Success!!!

    Well I loaded up 100 rounds over the weekend. Was supposed to be fifty but I think my first batch might have some soggy primers, got to anxious after handwashing (classic nra recipe and patches on some hemostats) and just started cranking the through the Lee 1000. Only after I finished washing...
