    7mm TCU shooters

    Any 7mm TCU shooters out there? I just acquired a Contender 7mm TCU barrel from a friend and was thinking about using this for the occasional IHMSA match I shoot in (currently have a .30-30 barrel on my G2 frame). What bullets are you 7TCU shooters running? Anyone loading specifically for...

    Anyone with latest Hornady manual? Need COL.

    To anyone who has the latest Hornady manual: What is the listed COL of the Hornady 75gr HPBT match bullet for .223 Remington (or 5.56 NATO if listed)? I'm guessing it's around 2.240", but I was interested in Hornady's published info. Thanks.

    Any Kowa 661 owners here?

    I found myself wanting a good highpower scope when I shot a Garand match a few months ago, so I shelled out for a Kowa 661 and a 25x LER eyepiece. I found it easier to look into the scope when I took the rubber off the eyepiece. Unfortunately, you can't put the eyepiece cover on the eyepiece...

    Free Hodgdon and IMR books

    Hodgdon's online store has free Hodgdon and IMR powder guides. http://www.hodgdon.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=HP&Category_Code=RD These are small guides with what I think is the same info from the respective sites and aren't nearly as extensive as a retail book like...

    Depriming advice

    Does anyone know of an extra tough decapping/depriming die, device, or method? I broke 4 decapping pins last night when depriming some recently fired M2 Lake City surplus.

    Garand handload information needed

    I've been checking various boards and Googling, but I can't find a good source for Garand handloading info. So far, all I have been able to conclude is to stick with IMR 4895 or Hodgdon 4895 with 150gr FMJ at 2700fps. What I am looking for is info regarding 168gr bullets (specifically Sierra...

    Source for Remington LE slugs and buckshot?

    Is there a commerical/retail source for Remington LE slugs and buckshot? I can get my hands on the Federal LE stuff at the local gunshows and is what I keep on hand, but I wanted to try the Remington shells, too.

    How do you headspace a semi-auto?

    I understand how to headspace a bolt action, but how exactly do you headspace a semi-auto? The concept behind headspacing a bolt action is that the bolt should close on a go gauge and not on a no-go or field gauge, and this is easy to determine. But how are you supposed to see if the bolt on a...

    Golden West Bullets info needed

    Does anyone have the latest ad for Golden West Bullet in Shotgun News? I let my subscription lapse several months ago and didn't want to renew, but I was wondering if someone could give me the address and telephone number and the listed price of a 1000ct box of 147gr 9mm. Thanks in advance.

    CMP stripped barrelled receivers

    I'm looking to rebuild a Garand and wanted to be guaranteed a good receiver (no pitting, great condition, etc). From what I understand rack or service grade CMP Garands do not guarantee receiver condition, but the CMP stripped barrelled receivers have been reparkerized. Has anyone ordered...

    My .260 project is shootable! (not yet 'complete')

    I finally got my .260 barrel and other parts from Sharp Shooter Supply yesterday and threw everything together last night. I was hoping to get all this stuff a couple weeks ago, but SSS was pretty busy so I only received the parts just yesterday. I'm happy though cause I at least got the parts...

    16" 1-7" AR-15 barrel

    Anyone know where I can get a 1-7" barrel in a 16" length for an AR-15 (with flash suppressor)? The Bushmaster and RRA sites only show a 1-9" for a 16". I'd prefer a Colt heavy barrel if possible, since that's what I'd be replacing.

    AR Collapsible Stock

    I've got a Colt Sporter Lightweight circa 1991 and I've always wanted to go with a collapsible stock, but never got around to buying one. I kind of wanted to go with an official Colt manufactured stock, but they are quite expensive at $150 or so. I've read a thread on AR-15.com comparing the...

    Primers 'pushed out'. Overpressure?

    I just inspected my once fired brass a little more closely for my 8mm Mauser reloads. I made 5 rounds each of 46.0, 46.5, and 47.0 gr H4895 an a 150gr Sierra SP (Hodgdon lists 50.0gr as max). The firing pin dent looks normal and the primers weren't flattened, but on closer inspection, it the...

    8mm Mauser hunting loads

    I have a Czech VZ24 that I'm going to scout scope and make a quasi hunting gun out of. I'm playing around with some Sierra Pro Hunter 150gr Soft Points and H4895 right now. I was wondering how heavy some of my fellow loaders have taken their 8mm Mauser loads bullet wise. I figure 170-180gr...
