    Benelli 828u help

    i had a little problem at the range today. My 828u trigger group fell out ( not all the way) between closing the action and firing. Being new to over/unders and this gun, this ended my shooting for the day. I was able to remove the trigger group at home by manually cocking both hammers...

    9 mm 147 gr Help Needed

    I could use a little help figuring out what my problem is loading 147 gr 9mm rounds. My normal process is 2 passes though my LNL AP (all dies are Hornady except the FCD and lock out die). The first pass I resize, prime, and bell the mouth. The second pass, I drop the powder, check the powder...

    XDm Front Sight Moving

    My front sight is not where I left it!:uhoh: While shooting indoors yesterday, I noticed my group had migrated to the right. I've got the tool to move the front sight back to the middle. I've read of using Loctite to secure it in place. I plan on using Blue 242. My questions are: How...

    Why 25 yd min for rifle

    My local indoor range has the policy that any shoulder mounted firearm must be shot at the full 25 yard distance. I have asked many employees (mostly RSOs) and no one seems to understand why. Does anyone know the foundation for this rule. If so, what is it, and do you think it's valid?

    Anyone Tried a Hornady LNL AP Primer Pocket Swage Tool?

    Has anyone tried one of these yet? I've got a bucket full of 5.56 brass. That's going to be a lot of work, but I figure this may be the most efficient way of removing all of those crimps. Call me chicken, but I'd rather not be the first to try one!

    40 S&W Carbine

    I've got an Olympic Arms K40 upper that fails to feed more often than not in strings of 5 rounds. The Xtreme 180 RNFP HPCB are set to pass the plunk test in my XDm. Does anyone load for one of these uppers, or have suggestions on how to set the COAL to feed consistently? Any help would be...

    Sanity Check for 9mm 147 coated with BE-96

    I’m trying to develop a new 9mm load using BE-86 and a 147 gr coated bullet. I can’t find any load data for a lead/coated 147 gr bullet. At Alliant’s website, the 124 gr JHP is 5.9gr while the 125 gr Lead RN is 5.7 gr. I’m planning on using 0.2 grains below the max load of 4.7 grains of...

    Hornady Bullet Feeder Die- Which Caliber?

    I just received a set of the new Hornady bullet feeder tubes so I opened one of the two (9mm and 40) Hornady bullet feeder dies I got a few months ago. As I was putting it back together after cleaning it, I realized I hadn't paid attention to which die I opened. I looked all over that %^$#...

    A question for a friend who loads 50 BMG: For those who load 50 BMG, what do you store your dies in? I believe he has RCBS dies that came in cardboard box. He's looked and can't find anything better ,so I thought I'd ask. Thanks for any help. Art

    Powder Measure and Digital Scale- That's the way its supposed to work

    I haven't been able to load for a few weeks now but I went out late this evening to finish a batch of 40 S&W with 5.8 gr of Power Pistol. Filled the LNL Powder measure about 1/3 full of powder, with the baffle. Tapped it several times to settle the powder and cycled about 10 loads through it...

    Curiosity + Too Much Time

    So, I recently loaded a bunch of 155gr plated bullets in line with the Speer and Hornady manuals for their 155 gr HP bullets with 8.6 gr of Power Pistol. Those loads are now waiting for me to install and master my new Hornady collet bullet puller. They were screaming along at over 1300fps...
