I'm looking to push the Berger 7mm 180 bullets out of a 26" barrel at 3000 fps. It looks like the latest overbore crazy mags (28 Nosler, 7 RUM) can do much more than that. So what's a smart step down from those that will reliably hit 3000? Extra points for being a non-belted case and not having...

I've been loading pistol and rifle for about 10 years now, never came across this issue. This is my first belted case, for what it's worth. I got new Hornady 300 WM brass, full-length sized it in a standard RCBS die. Checked trim length, chamfered, deburred. Tumbled clean. Primed. Drops into...

Hey all. I currently load pistol and rifle on a Dillon 650. For most of my rifle loading, I resize and prime separately, and then charge/seat progressively. Been thinking about getting a separate single-stage press for decapping and resizing tasks. What's a good but not extravagant choice for...

I can't remember who makes them, and it's been a good 10 years, but I think someone used to sell laminated cards with accurate holdover data if you sent them your pertinent bullet info. Is that still a thing?

I've got full Dillon toolheads with dies for two rifle and three pistol calibers--and they're all terribly rusted after spending a few years in salty air. I've read that you can tumble them to clean them up, but I just can't imagine that'd do it--certainly not in corn. Any hope for these dies?

Hey kids. Long time. Looking into a suppressed SBR. Either AR-15 or AR-10 platform. I already load 5.56 and 7.62 and have mags for pretty much any typical semiauto rifle. Been looking at .300 blk but not totally blown away by ballistics. Also .458 SOCOM and the usual big thumpers. I've made...

Is it possible to have a gunsmith convert a modern-production PPK/S to allow for cocked and locked (rather than decocked and locked) carry?

Hey all--long time no see. So I'm looking for a carry pistol for my wife. All our pistols are 1911s or run exactly like a 1911. I want to keep the operation the same for her carry gun. In a perfect world I'd get her a 9mm version of my lightweight custom CCO, but I don't want to spend nearly...

Been shooting more at an indoor 100-yd range (nice!), and I'm starting to think my 77-grain and 69-grain HPBT loads aren't ideal for playing AR pseudo-benchrest. What bullets would surprise me with their laser-like accuracy? I've got a 20-inch HBAR that gets the most playing time at that range.

I currently have a 700 in .308 that I shoot from 100 to 1000 yards. It will get to 1000 and hit my steel targets with 175 SMKs if I do my part and/or if the wind is behaving. But I'm realizing more and more that--boring as it seems--I much prefer shooting for groups as opposed to shooting for...

I'm looking for a benchrest/F-Class scope to go on a new project I'm building. I finally got used to mils, and all my scopes are now mil/mil, so I don't really want to work in MOA just for this scope. The only mil/mil (turrets/reticle) scope that seems to fit the bill is the Sightron...

Looking to shoot some F Class, either TR or open. Is there anywhere closer to Denver than the rifle club in Byers? If not, does anyone have any experience with that range? Any info about F Class in Colorado would be most appreciated.

I've been looking for 147-gr .355 for a while now. They have them and many others...

I'm looking for a semi-auto chambered in .308, with a side-folding stock, capable of 1 moa at 100 yards, for under $2500. Here are the side-folding .308 options I can think of: FAL Para VEPR/AK variants SCAR PTR/G3 variants M1a in new stock I love the FAL, but I assume it would be...

I posted a few months ago asking for ideas on DIY stands for Dillon toolheads. The little things seem like a silly idea until you try one, and then you realize they're nice to have. But at $20+ each, they seem terribly overpriced. Well, after I made a few measurements and sketched things out...

Trust is inked and my guns are too long and too loud. :) I was thinking of Jensen's, but if there's somewhere from Longmont down to Littleton, all the better. Not looking for anything too complex--a couple of silencers and SBRing a couple of existing rifles.

I'm under the impression that small rifle primers are preferred in 9mm rounds meant to be run through subguns (including ARs). Considering the robust FP strike, I'd think it can't hurt. What say you?

I decided to straighten up the garage/loading room yesterday. I hadn't loaded anything in a couple of months; the whole place was used mostly for house projects and had become a mess. My .45 Auto toolhead was in the press, with half a hopper full of powder. I do leave powder in the hopper...

Apart from AR-10 variants, which semiautos are known for not destroying brass? I know the HK and its variants (e.g., PTR) don't fit that category.

Is there an easy fix for this? The trigger pin on my 22/45 (Mk III with a Volq trigger group installed) walks out so easily that I need to check it every few magazines to keep the pistol operational.
