    What size bullet for 45acp

    I'm new to 45acp reloading. The 185gr bullets tend to be cheaper, so I was going to go with those. Is there any lack of performance associated with them or do people tend to like the big heavy bullets?

    What to do with my lower?

    Since everyone loves polls, I thought I would see what everyone thinks I should do with my AR lower. If you don't like polls, you must be a commie.:scrutiny: If you vote other, please elaborate. Keep in mind I've already lost a 20" Bushmaster in a recent avalanche.

    What other calibers can I convert my AR15 to?

    I'd like to get something for when I'm in the mood for beating myself up at the range...something with more kick than a .223. Are there uppers that I can put on my standard AR15 lower that will give me something bigger than a .308? I assume it would require a bolt action, because the mag well...

    What powder is used in WWB 147gr?

    I want to make a load equivalent to Win 147gr JHP's. I normally use Win 231 for pistol, but in this case I'm willing to stock another kind of powder if that's what I need to do to make my suppressor set up work. I broke open a factory Win 147gr round and the powder looks like 231, only smaller...

    No new ban after all?

    HK Lem trigger

    So there I was at a gun shop, minding my own business, when an HK P2000 had the audacity to just jump into my hand. I thought it pointed very well, felt right in the hand, smooth operation...I'm liking it. Then it came to a screeching halt with the god awful 40lb double action trigger pull...

    Question for the M&P owners...

    I fondled an M&P at a shop yesterday, but I didn't like the grip. The piece the store had on the back seemed like there was a big bulge in the back of the palm and it tapered off towards the front. Does one of the grips it comes with make a slimmer profile in the back of the grip?

    Pick the next one

    Here another pick my next gun thread. Stick to the option please... Option 1: Benelli M2 "Tactical" or M1 Super 90 - I just want one...no real reason for it. It would provide a slight upgrade from my Nova. Option 2: Glock 17 2nd gen - range plinker only, my carry/home stable is already...

    Contact your US Reps about border security on Friday

    Contact GW and tell him you want a conservative judge tonight!

    Write GW TONIGHT and tell him you want a true blue conservative. Tell him his base is dangerously close to abandoning his party in the next two elections. A good SCOTUS pick can give us some hope that the Republicans are not abandoning us. Tell him you will go to bat for whomever he chooses by...

    Goodyear Tires and legal concealed carry

    Spread the word: Licensed Concealed Carry Not Welcome at Goodyear Tire 2005/09/27 Most businesses in America have chosen NOT to post discriminatory signs against licensed concealed carry in their stores. Goodyear Tire has chosen differently. Your patronage is not welcome. From Goodyear...

    Judge Roberts: I'll Respect Legal Precedents

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,164561,00.html Even if some are wrong? He just lost my support. Telling Specter and Santorum will probably be like talking to a wall, but I'll contact them anyway.

    Glock 17 or CZ 75B Compact

    I'm going to be buying a gun within a week. I've narrowed it down to these two above. The Glock is a very safe choice as I already own 2 Glock 19's and they are my frontline defensive pistols. I know what to expect from it and it would replace my non-ccw Glock 19 so that it (my first gun) can...

    How are the late model S&W Sigmas?

    I know that S&W Sigmas had their growing pains, but I have noticed more people here saying they were a decent gun rather than trashing them. I'd like to hear the experiences of people who have purchased late model Sigmas (particularly in 9mm). My brother is trying to buy a Glock 19 on a budget...

    Thank you everyone for the work put into ending the ban

    I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took time from their days for the last 10 years to help towards today. It was a long road, and we certainly deserve a break. However, those who misinterpret the 2nd Amendment will not be simply giving up. We must continue to watch for their...

    Deer hunting with open sights?

    Just curious to see if anyone here has ever tried it. It seems it would be perfectly ok within 100-150 yards depending on how good a shot you are. I'm thinking of more of a lever gun or milsurp rifle here rather than a high dollar bolt.

    Best autoloading defense rifle for a leftie?

    I'm right handed and left eye dominant. With pistols, that combination isn't a problem but when shooting rifles it is a problem. Although bench shooting works just fine with my right eye, I find I need to shoot leftie in order to shoot well while shooting reflexsively. I like my SKS's because...

    What autoloading shotgun for clays and hd?

    I've tried the lever action rifles and the pump shotguns. I'm just not into them. I want a 12g autoloader shotugun for blasting clays and a hd shotgun. The hd aspect is more for a safe room extra firepower gun, not a primary hd gun. For defense I'll be using 4 shot and for clays probably...

    What Senators are vulnerable in November?

    There are 34 senators up for election this November. Senator Breaux from LA is retiring as is Nickles of OK, so their seats will be up for grabs as well as these senators below. Are any of these senators realistically vulnerable? I believe Boxer may well face a very tough race. She'll have...
