Okay, I've seen a lot of recommendations for other dies, but I've managed to use the Hornady dies for six other calibers so I'd like to not change. I'll soon be picking up a K31 and want to reload for it. Midway lists two die sets for 7.5x55 Swiss: One for 299 diameter...

Alright, here's the situation. Had a glock 27 but we already reload 357 Sig so we bought a KKM Precision barrel (originally for the Glock 33 but they said it would work and they're supposed to be the same dimensions). Anyway, now the Glock intermittently fails to go into full battery. It's...

I have a female friend who is 5'4" and barely over 100 pounds. Anyway, she shot a Ruger MK III, XD 9, Sig, and some wheelies (actually pretty good shot, which I imagine is the listening thing she does so much better). After that we entered the gun shop and I had her handle a 1911 because she...

Below is the link to the "drug task force" in my county of Ohio. Notice the guy in the lower left with a top folding shotgun and finger on the trigger. :rolleyes: http://www.wcdtf.org/index.html

We bought an armorer's video from MidwayUSA for Sig series disassembly, etc. CWWeapons produces the video. The roll pins in the slllide that holds in the breech block have been impossible to get out even with the hammer and punch they recommend. We have tried it in two guns. Any ideas besides...

My friend took his concealed carry course with an instructor here in Ohio and we aren't sure he exactly followed the course requirements. There was a test, but it was taken with the students to lunch and open book (even highlighted answers). Also, there was range time but proficiency was...

Well we have had the Hornady press for about eight months, reload six calibers, and have been very impressed with the product so far. One thing (probably a minor fix) has come up recently. When the shell plate is coming down and needs to cycle to line up for the next run (and correctly seat...

So I put a sig 229 on layway (actually one for my overseas brother too) in light of my 21st birthday in April. Anyway that same day my friend had been searching for an equinox and the shop had a lightly used one. After shooting and playing with his I am itching for some black grips (not the...

Ordered a pair of M4 Night Sights for a Bushy from these guys after seeing some positive posts on THR, but can't get a hold of them via e-mail or telephone (to voicemail and left messages). Anyone experienced this/have suggestions. I guess at this point if they charge the card (they haven't yet)...

Looking to pick up a Para Ord 12-45 3.5 inch barrel SS for my first concealed carry (and handgun in general). I'm looking for advice/knowledge about it. It's used but I have a relationship with the owner and will look over it before I buy. Are mags still available, AKA will it take...

So AIM Surplus (local to me) has this AK for sale: http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/Yugoslavian_AK_M70AB1_7.62x39_Rifle.html I really like it, but I am also considering a JT Distributing .223 m4 with Doublestar lower. Problem is I can get the AK with 5 mags and 2000 rounds of ammo for the...

I received a reply from Senator Sherrod Brown (OH) about signing Senator Crapo's letter. Had an interesting point, whether it is valid or not I haven't decided:

Okay, we've been working on new 308 with Hornady Match Grade dies. No matter what we do when we seat bullets the bottom side of the shoulder (towards the primer) bells out. We have followed instructions the letter and still cannot get it to seat them right. Also, sizing them is unbelievably hard...

Went up to Gander Mountain last night with a buddy and intent to look at a Sig 229/239 for him. Strayed over to the 1911 cabinet to see if we could find one for his Dad as he shot it better than the Glocks/Sig. We were mesmerized by a Sig Revolution C3 Compact in .45. Very thin, held 6 + 1 I...

I had read some posts about practicing with air soft guns. As winter is coming and I have a large unfinished basement it may be a good chance to get a lot of practice for very cheap. I would especially use it for training/tactics as in drawing exercises and movement. I would keep going to the...

Got a batch of Lake City once fired brass from my brother. We set it up on the Hornady LNL with small rifle primers (Winchester) and everything works well except the priming step. It is very hard to get the primers in much less evenly and deep enough. Sometimes there is a small shave of metal on...

We just ordered shellplate # 16 from MidwayUSA (Has number 16 stamped on it) and the 223 brass (fired and unfired) will not fit all the way in the grooves of the shellplate. They do not sit in it far enough to run through the die stations correctly! :what: Any ideas? Thanks, rjohnson4405

I am having trouble with some primers taking two or three hits to ignite. It's not real common, like 2 in every hundred or so, but I'm kind of concerned. :what: We are using Win 296 with Federal Magnum Primers. Our other setup is Alliant Unique with CCI Small Pistol primers and it has some of...

Are there velocities too quick for a 16" bushmaster carbine? A 40 grain vmax with Varget gets approximately 3674fps (according to data.hodgdon.com). Is this too fast for a 16" barrel to be able to get ahold and stabilize such a light bullet? Is there a limit to the speed of a bullet out of an m4...

My friend and I just started reloading (with LNL Progressive, unreal all the things they thought of) and are having some problems. We bought a frankfort arsenal tumbler and walnut media but when the cases come out they have a dirty film and are anything but shiny. We couldn't get the media out...
