I reloaded several boxes of minimum recoil 163 gr. SP-BT .308s for my son's T/C pistol last year and they turned out to be the most accurate in his handgun by far. He wants me to reload the used brass with that same formula but when I printed the labels I wrote "163 gr. SP-BT". If I know more...

My son just called me last night and mentioned a blurb on TV that talked about a problem with some Remington 700's that has been known to the company for 40-50 years but it still persists. The show had video of a guy that had a loaded 700 sitting in a rest and when he just barely touched...

I just read the thread titled "Bill of Sale???? by huntinggamo and it brought up a troubling question that I have whenever I sell a gun FTF. I have the buyer sign a bill of sale very similar to some that were shown in the thread - Name of buyer, License # & state of residency...

I have become a fanatic with the accuracy of turret adjustments and ballistic charts. Let me explain : (0% - 22% correction factor w/various scopes) Turret adj. accuracy - Some (most) shooters assume that when they "dial in" 10 moa (or ") on their elevation turret that their bullet...

This thread could go here or in reloading so feel free to move it. I loaded some of Midsouth's 55gr H.P. bulk bullets for my .22-250 and the first 4-5 test loads shot well so I made the mistake of reloading 500 for the .22-250 and 500 for .223 Rem. A month ago I was in North Dakota...

I get very frustrated :( with Midsouthshooterssupply ("MSSS" from here-on-out) due to their software. If I start building and order and then come back either hours or days later to add something &/or place the order.... my cart is empty! A nice lady at MSSS just told me that I should put...

I just bought a new Rem. 700 .300 Win. Mag and am about to buy scope bases (or a 1-piece scope base) for it and am wondering the pros/cons of one piece and two-piece bases. Is the 1-pc better due to being straighter and not torquing the scope so badly? Does it get in the way of the...

Does anyone know of a software program that will calculate and print external ballistics if the exact velocity or precise B.C. isn't known? I want to get more "real life" drop figures than what I'm getting from the Federal, Winchester & Sierra's "Infinity I6" softwares. The bullet...

I hope that this is an OK topic for General. Do any of you have a class put on by your police or sheriff's dept that is like the following? It is way cool! Several years ago my friend & I signed up for "Citizen's Police Acadamy" which was given by our county sheriff's dept. It...

After I lube and size my rifle brass, I sometimes toss them back into the tumbler with walnut media (as recommended) to clean off the lube. (If I only have 100 or so then I rub the lube off with paper towels or a rag.) My problem is that 40% of the flash holes have a piece of walnut...

Everyone on this forum knows about the atrocities that the governments of the Brits, Aussies, Canucks, Chinese and Japanese have heeped on their citizenry by depriving them of most of their God-given rights to protect themselves. What about the other countries on the face of the earth...

I just received 1500 .223 militay crimped brass that will need the pockets swaged. I have another 1000 waiting in the wings for the same process. Which of the tools mentioned below have worked well for you? Which is the fastest? Are there other tools that I haven't mentioned...

I'll pick just one caliber (out of many that I reload) .223 Rem (5.56x45) : Over the years, I've collected many thousands of brass which have 15-20 various head-stamps. I try to keep good records of which brands had how many "times fired". After many trips to the prairie dog fields...

There is a thread going now about owning very old weapons but I thought one about weapons that have been IN YOUR FAMILY since new would be fun to hear about. I have several rifles, shotguns and handguns that my dad owned and I have now passed them on to my mid-30's son. These guns were...

This is something that I've yet to understand. If someone wanted to use a firearm in a crime and not have it traced then they could buy the handgun and a spare/used extra barrel. After the crime (w/the spare bbl.) our budget-minded offender would just toss the spare barrel that was used in...

I bought this holster used 5-6 years ago and it's my absolute favorite of 5 holsters for my carry handgun. Trouble is, I have no idea who makes it. Do you recognize the emblem/logo ?

My problem is that I just bought a DPMS LR-243 (which uses the same mag as the LR-308 & Lr-260) and can't find any mags for less than around $40-$50 each. Some auction sites have "lots of 10" 19 rd mags for $500 + S&H !! Most retail stores are out and some won't even let me backorder them...

I just bought a lot of brass and noticed that they have a "ding" in the mouth of them like as if one of the rifles were inflicting the minor damage as the brass was being ejected. I'll try to upload a picture or two so you know what I'm talking about precisely. Do you toss these or...

I've done a search on several of the applicable forums here on THR and can't find exactly what I'm lookin' for. Finding the exact distance to a Prairie Dog (P.D.) mound is critical when the shot is past 400 yards. Well, you can only imagine how important it is at ranges like 600-1000 yds...
