Does anyone know where one can find the Speer shot capsules in stock? Speer has been “unavailable” for at least a year.

Found this on a video about weapons disposal following World War 2. A lot of rifles!

I visited a local shop in a nearby town today (Abilene, Tx). They had just about every kind of powder in stock, various Vihtavuori and Alliant, Varget, 4064. 4895, etc. but prices are about 2x what they were the last time the shelves were fully stocked. 700x that used to be $15 was priced...

How a bullet works Nice graphics but woefully wrong in so many ways. This is mainstream firearm education. What are your thoughts?

Is powder plentiful for everyone now? I need to cut down some of my propellants due to a job change and advertised several sealed containers locally at $25/lb. No takers. Does everyone have plenty now or is everyone hanging on to every $ now days. Just curious what the situation is elsewhere.

Today I saw some Fort Scott 223 ammunition advertised as ‘solid copper’. I opened up the box to look. The bullet seating depths were all over the place. One round had been pushed into the case at least 1/4”. I showed the young girl working and told her she should take it off the shelf as this...

Curious about this. FN 5.7x28 commercial ammo fired in Ruger 57 pistol. The firing pin indention is flattened. Any ideas?

I ordered 357 cases from Starline on backorder expecting it would be a while, but it arrived in about 1 week. Thanks Starline! https://www.starlinebrass.com/357-mag-brass

I found some (rare) brass cased 7.62x39 ammunition at a LGS today so I bought 3 boxes, 60 rds, to plink and recover the cases for reloading. They are ZVS Ammunition, made in Macedonia. Fired about half of them. They performed terribly. Velocities were all over the place and my Ar-47 locked up a...

1/16" x 1/4" (1.59 x 6.35 mm): Trigger Guard Detent Pin Forward Assist Pawl Pin (New round type) A1 Rear Sight Wheel Retaining Pin 1/16" x 5/16" (1.59 x 7.94 mm): Forward Assist Pawl Pin (Old teardrop type) 1/16" x 7/16" (1.59 x 11.11 mm): Ejector Retaining Roll Pin - (Special order type...

I’ve only seen load data for 3 propellants for the 5.7x28; AA5,AA7 and Ramshot True Blue. My hypothesis is, FN struck a compromise for the 5.7 to create a cartridge that would work in both the FiveSeven and P90 and the available loads aren’t optimized for either. Perhaps a better load could be...

Picked up this new Browning (Maroku ) A-Bolt III in 308 yesterday from a guy who bought it and never fired it. Now I’m in the market for a decent scope for it. Anybody own the ‘new’ AB3? What are your thoughts? Recommendations for optics?

Around here, central Texas, the ammo store shelves are beginning to fill up. Retailers are keeping stock week to week. The issue now is, everyone has the same thing; cases of 223 stacked in the aisles, 9mm (mostly the high end $1+ rounds), 350 Legend, 40 S&W and the various 6 point manbun...

I need to stay away from the gun shop. Stopped in Apache Rifleworks again today to see what was new in the consignment case and found this 1975 Ruger Blackhawk 357 Magnum with a nice George Lawrence 79/577 holster rig. It left with me. $500 out the door. It shows some honest wear but overall in...

I have always used FN or handloads in my Ruger 57. Recently I bought a few boxes of Federal American Eagle AE5728A 40 grain. The very first one did not chamber. I dropped the magazine, locked the slide and raised the muzzle to attempt to remove the round. The cartridge case fell out, followed by...

I stopped in Apache Rifleworks just to browse and noticed several Ruger SA revolvers in the consignment case. The staff told me a lady was liquidating her husbands collection and they had been consigned to sell over 50 handguns. They were putting out about 5 at a time. One of these was a...

Went by San Antonio Bass Pro Shop/Outdoor World to pick up my SIL a few boxes of 357 Magnum. I asked the guy at the knife counter if he had any primers stashed and lo and behold, he pulled out this brick of Federal SPM Match primers. $89.99 minus 5% vet discount. They also have (had?) large...

Just curious how others handle this situation. Primer sitting a little proud, loaded 9mm

I’ve wanting a Nagant pistol for years. When a friend offered to trade for my Traditions ‘51 Navy I jumped. I’m curious about the marks. Are there any Nagant experts who can interpret?
