    Could the right president pass National Carry Reciprocity?

    I agree that the fed gov't has no right to regulate firearms, either for or against, that is the realm of each state. That being said, this and several former presidents have by "Executive Order" done things that far exceed their authority. Many still stand simply because they are not...

    12 Ga loads for Purple PC wads

    Thanks gamestalker. Another issue might be the fact that PC purple have been out of production a long time and I wanted to use primers that were likely not being used in the US when PC Purples were in use. I'll wait to see if you find any other recipes. Dave

    .223/5.56 Brass Swaging
