    2300FPS from a 10.5" barrel?!?

    Snuck out early this AM to try out the freshly assembled 7.62x39 AR pistol upper I put together on Monday of last week (I know, I had to wait almost a full week :eek:). I decided to take the chronograph along just to satisfy my curiosity, assuming all else went well. I had zero issues...

    Caldwell brass catcher on sale

    For any interested parties Primary Arms has the Caldwell brass catcher on sale right now. It's a velcro model that has a hinge so it flips away from the upper. For $7/ea I couldn't pass up trying one out. Hopefully it works as advertised and I can finally ditch the cardboard box I've been using...

    Going from 7mmRM to 7STW in a parker-hale?

    Might get a Parker-Hale in 7mm RemMag. What I've really been thinking about is a 7mmSTW. Doing a bit of looking around and I've read quite a few people have had good results going from the 7RM to the STW, and it seems like a fairly simple re-chambering. My question is whether the parker-hale...

    I knew I was pushing my luck with my old computer. I had run that thing untouched for years, and it was used when I bought it. Finally the motherboard gave up as it looks like about half the capacitors are popped out or have gone full nuclear reaction, not good. Due to differences in operating...

    What do you use for your 280AI brass?

    I'm in the midst of a 280AI build and I'm wondering what everyone else uses for brass? I dabbled with a 280AI last year working up loads for a friends rifle and was impressed by the performance. I found some Hornady cases locally and put 4-5 loadings through the that brass before I returned the...

    Just when you're not paying attention

    So lately I've been saving my pennies for a decent machining tool for the home workshop. I haven't been stopping at the reloading store or dropping in at the gun shops. Along that same theme I've been keeping my eyes off the online auction sites and local listing services trying to keep the...

    Where should I start with 458 socom?

    Reloading for a 16" 458 socom with carbine gas. Looking mostly for cheap range fodder for now. A load that gets me in the 1400-1500fps range and cycles the action would do just fine if possible. This is what I have to work with: once-fired starline brass WLP primers Acme 300gr RNFP hi-tek...

    Lee Auto Breech Lock Pro (4K)

    I am wondering how these turned out after almost a year of public beta testing? I'm looking into getting something a bit faster than a lee turret or S/S press. I am mostly looking to do the standard 9mm, 38/357 and 45auto loading and also something to speed up priming, charging and seating most...

    1x-? illuminated scope

    Looking for an optic to mount atop my 458socom. Currently a friend is borrowing me his Vortex Spitfire 3x which I do like but I think there might be something better. I am liking the idea of a magnified optic for the socom, but with its limited range I'm thinking anything over 6x is completely...

    Person killed at the local range

    Just reading the news this morning and there's an article about a man killed at the local public range. This saddens me very much as I hate to see anyone lose a life just getting out on a Saturday to enjoy his hobby. I cannot, however, say this surprises me. This is a very popular spot, about an...
