I'm about to order a 20" .308W barrel with a rifle length gas system. If suitable, I'd like to be able to switch from jacketed to cast with gas-checked. The build is in DPMS style. What do I look for on a barrel as pertaining to the gas port size? I have read where some have enlarged the hole...

I'll take you up on that @1976B.L.Johns. . Our 100M range. Back story on the NRA contribution. A neighboring property claimed that a projectile had hit one of his outbuildings. Later refuted by a ballistics expert. But cause quite the stir. Berms were heightened, and extra safety measures...

I had a AR 15 pistol that I converted upper and lower to a rifle. I went with a A2 rifle buffer tube/spring/buffer. The upper is a 20" 6.5 Grendel. I took it to the range to sight in and try some reloads. The reloads are 120 gr. Sierra's with Tac, starting point of 28.0 gr. and also some...

I have a set of stripped upper and lower in DPMS. I have a few questions for clarity, so that I don't buy useless to me parts. This will be for an occasional paper target shooting from 100-300 yds. I'd be happy if I can be within a 10" pattern at 300 yds. And this will probably be a slow build...

So I'm reusing an upper and lower that was a pistol for a rifle. 6.5 Grendel is the cartridge, with a 20" barrel. I plan on buying Magpul's PRS Lite stock. I ordered a A2 lower extension with buffer and spring. Should be on my porch today or tomorrow. But now after reading more of the specs...

The links in this post have been disabled. THR Staff. https://clickbaitsite.org/224-valkyrie-vs-6-5-grendel/ I was searching the "web" for comparison writeups on .224 Valkyrie vs. 6.5 Grendel. The link above is the second article I selected to read. Either I'm not up on tactical lingo, or...

A couple months ago I was in the LGS and seen that they had a P320 FCU for sale under the glass counter with the other guns. Then today I seen online module kits with the lower frame, slide, barrel, recoil spring, and magazine. This one was for 40 S&W. The web site didn't list who produced the...

A few years back I shot my Digital Pro. The electronics were unscathed. Two years ago I bought replacement screens and upper housing. At that time, the lady I talked to said it may need recalibrated. I have taken it out twice and the readings are 20% or more off. To those who have shipped...

About a year and a half ago I seen in Alliant's 2005 Reloaders Guide data showing 2400 in 38 Super with a Hornady 147 gr. XTP. So it got me figuring out to try it in 357 SIG. The SIG has a slight more volume (.01587 cubic volume, with consideration of the SIG bullet is seating about .105"...

I got an email from RMR Bullets for a new lineup of HP pellets. https://www.rmrbullets.com/product-category/airgun/ Makes me want to get a .22 airgun.

I've refrained from trying new handgun powders for a couple of years now. I have some new to me JHP bullets that need some some attention. I'm looking to reach low to mid 1100s fps. with 124 gr. JHP out of a 4" barrel. Which both of these should do so without going P+. By load data, I know...

I was searching up some loads on 124 gr. JHPs and found Hodgdon list a RMR 124 gr JHP in their 9mm data. Did @longdayjake make the big times again? I only found data for #5 and True Blue. And I did not see that bullet listed in Western Powders' Handloading Guide.

Over typos! https://thefederalist.com/2022/06/03/500-percent-spike-in-biden-administration-shutting-down-gun-retailers-over-typos/ Has anyone been hearing about this before?

I'm often on the lookout for what may be a good powder that fits both 357 mag. and 300 Blk. I normally load 357 using 158, 170, or 180 gr. bullets, jacketed and cast. No.11FS seems to get my occasional attention. From what I gather, it came out maybe in 2017, and is better for 158gr. and up...

I stopped into a gun shop that's part of a chain of stores, mostly in Ohio. They had several of Alliant powders on the shelf. Alliant seems usually to be the hardest to obtain in these droughts. But the horror began when I realized the 1# bottles were priced at $50+. And some 5# jugs were...

Thought I'd share my endeavor with cleaning beeswax. This is not an end all for cleaning, but it worked for me. I didn't want to have to find a pot roaster or find some type of clothe to filter. A guy at work maintains several bee hives and gave me a 5 gal. bucket of beeswax for his pick of...

Rotometals has a special going on for "foundry alloy pieces" right now. For $129 (free shipping) you would get 32-34 lbs. that is 12% tin and 26% antimony. About 4 lb of tin and almost 9 lb of antimony. Anyone wanting to alloy lead, the site says the pieces weight 0.1-2.0 oz...

I have only reloaded 300Blk in subs, using Reloder 7 and 300-MP successfully. Now I have a mold for a 155 gr. gas-checked bullet, I started looking for supers. Lyman's 50th list a 165 gr. gas-checked bullet, and has H335 data. And I saw an online post someone has listed same powder for 225 gr...

I have been reloading 300 BO for a few years now. I have converted a few hundred cases for the cartridge. Usually it's L.C. headstamps. But I did some oddball case that I consider disposable. Perfecta, A USA, GFL, PSD, to name a few. It was only this last year that I bought a Lyman's case...

Here's a first for me. While sizing some 300 Blk cases, I had one case that had some resistance. The cases are all LC 5.56 converted. I took out the case, looked it over and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Put it back in the shell holder, still had resistance, ran the ram up. Took it...
