I'm a Remington 870 owner. It's a good gun except for the finish. The finish is absolute garbage and prone to rusting. I have to wipe it down after every time I touch it, otherwise it'll get tiny spots of orange.
For this reason, I now recommend people get Mossberg 590's. The Remington 870...
Powdervalley's stock of powder has been fluctuating week-by-week. My 8lb order of AA2495 was placed a couple weeks ago when it was in stock so it should be coming... but they are just behind on shipping due to the overwhelming orders as you can imagine.
They did have IMR4895 and even Varget...
Interesting. I didn't know they were "extreme" powders but I guess that gives them a small edge. They are almost impossible to find though.
Since I've got 8 pounds of AA2495 on order, I'll stick with that.
So is AA2495 better than IMR 4895? Powdervalley has both in stock. I know they are both extruded (but so is Varget). Do these meter ok? I plan on using a Lee auto-disk.
It sounds like Varget is your favorite but it's reassuring to hear you believe all are accurate choices. I want to use...
Hehe... I was wondering how long this signature would go unnoticed but now I'm red in the face and in retrospect it was probably a silly thing to do. :o By the way, Google translator mistakenly translates the word for "Arabic" into "English." I posted the accurate translation of my signature...
Are calipers necessary for reloading? Or are there other ways of achieving the same check of proper length? I'm going to be reloading .308 Winchester.
Opinions / experience / wisdom / dissertations - please share. :)
Hi friends,
What's your opinion/experience regarding Accurate 2495 powder for .308 Winchester loads? I'm looking at it for a bolt gun with a 22 inch barrel. How is it for 155gr, 168gr, and 175gr loads?
Phew. I made it back from the past. Unfortunately the Delorian's flux capacitor was misbehaving and it took me to December 2008. It seems there was a terrible shortage back then too. Something about an election or something. :confused:

99% of the time, "sporterizing" a milsurp results in a reduction in resale value. A lot of collectors even advise against refinishing the original stock, although if you have a particularly beat-up specimen, refinishing can sometimes increase the resale value if done professionally.
I sold an...
Thanks a bunch guys. As for the muzzle brakes - can I screw them on my barrel myself or do I need a gunsmith to make sure everything is lined up correctly?
My Savage 10FP-SR in .308 winchester has a factory-threaded barrel. I'm wondering what I should put on it. I'm not really interested in jumping through the hoops needed to get a silencer/suppressor.
I am interested in either a flash hider or a muzzle brake. Do either of these require a...
