Found this in my father in laws house after he passed. Anything special?

I have been reloading with Missouri bullets in .357, .45 and 10mm without any issues but I have stockpiled a bunch of 9mm in 115 gr that will not pass the plunk test in any firearms that I own. They're coated 9mm 115 gr at .356 diameter. I've tried the following with dummy loads: Crimping...

Looking to build a trap to use in my garage. Anyone do this?

I 've done plenty of long guns but nothing with tight tolerances like a pistol. I've got a FEG HP clone and was planning to refinish it with Gun Kote. My question is should I do the underside of the slide? Will even thin coats cause drag on the slide? Thanks

I've been loading mostly 9mm and 357 mag so the load data for bullet profiles is plentiful but I've started 10mm and can't find info on flat point cast. Specifically concerned with COAL. I've been having trouble getting them to chamber at the min of 1.250 for FMJ. And the bullets are flat...

Quick question. I set up five AR500 steel targets on my friends range and someone must have shot them with a rifle closer than the recommended 100 yards. Each target now has 5 or so pits, not even close to punching through but none then less pitted. The steel is 5/8ths. Flip them over or...

A group of us are looking for a free or low cost service that sends out legislative alerts in our state. We want a link where folks can sign up online as well as enter numbers of the folks we have number for already. Thanks

I was testing some rounds in my M1A to see if the OAL was changing while in the magazine while being fire. Placed 10 rounds in the gun, fired 9 and checked the OAL of the 10th. Length changed between .005 and .008 each time. Did the same thing but this time checking the 10th round after the 8th...

I've been reloading Powerbond 124 grain round nose with 5.5 grains of Power Pistol, OAL of 1.135 and a light crimp on the Lee factory crimp die. I've had no issues at all until I switch to the same bullet but in a hollow point. The ten I loaded up all failed to drop into and out of the barrel...

I have a 226, West German model that has a great DA trigger pull but the single action mode is way too light. To the point where I've two unintentional double taps when shooting in SA mode. None of my other Sigs are ever close to being this light of a trigger pull. Any thoughts.

I've been reloading .308 for a couple of bolt rifles over the last couple of years and want to reload a batch for an M1a. I've resized with an RCBS die (full length). I've run a few cases through the chamber and they seem tight. Factory ammo will fall out of the chamber if I tip the muzzle up...

Just bought a Lock and Load but already have a set of Lee 9mm dies. The Hornady LNL has a powder drop but I assume its not also an expander. Can I use the Lee powder expander in one of the five stations just for the expanding function? And if yes I aasume it would need to go before the powder...

I typically reload .308 and was thinking of doing 9mm on my single stage. When looking at dies I see sets with three and others with four dies. Which dies are necessary?

You'll get a chuckle out of this. I'll post more when i have some free time but we got the required signatures for the recall. The first article is the real story and the second one is the progressive spin. http://www.abc6.com/story/23703705/dee-from-the-desk-recalling-exeter...

I resized a batch of .308. I didn't have the die set low enough so the cartridge fits very tightly in the chamber. Fit in the case gauge fine though. !00 rounds are completed and another 200 or so brass have been trimmed and primed. Should I scrap the brass and just reuse the bullets...

Just got into reloading .308 have a question about the over all length after seating the bullet. I set the press to seat the bullet and leave me with an OAL of 2.810 but I end up with a number of cartridges over and under the 2.810". The die isn't loose. Having said that all my initial loads...

Just got into reloading and was wondering if i needed to check the headspace and case length if i am planning to do a full resize on all my cases. Shooting a bolt gun not a semi-auto. Also, i ordered a Lyman .308 headspace gauge and not a case length gauge. do i need both?

Just got into reloading and bought an RCBS case trimmer but it didn't come with pilots. They're necessary right?

Just go into reloading and have a few questions. I'm reloading .308 with Sierra Matchking 155gr with CCI #34 primers(all I could find) with Reloader 15 powder. Reloader lists a few different recipes for anything but the 155 grain Speer. Am I ok with the #34s for an AR-10 and my bolt...

I'm looking to figure out the percentage of firearms purchases that are semi automatic versus manually operated. Any reliable sites? I've searched but haven't found much.
