I just noticed on my AR that it is marked 223 Wylde instead of 556. That chamber I thought was either/or, or am I mistaken?

Was shooting the bull with a few guys and the topic ended up with basement practice guns. Where we got stuck was one genius “concepted” a primer fired “slingshot bb” type pistol to shoot into stacks of cardboard and we all thought that could be doable. Primer only, no powder or even brass. Has...

What I’m wondering is which bullet weight would be better for self defense in 9mm. The choices for this hypothetical situation would be the RMR 115 and 124 Nuke. Suppose both bullets are equally accurate and both pushed about 85% of top speed. Pistol used has a 5” barrel and powders available...

I keep seeing discussions about different weights on buffers and how they effect recoil. Some contain tungsten or other metals to vary the weight. Can you change the weight of the one you already have by adding lead or some other fillers? I’d like to give it a try if it is feasible, but will buy...

I'm looking to load some 145gr. Silvertips for my 6" GP-100 for defensive/hunting type loads. I'm just getting my shelf of partial boxes of bullets loaded and making room for newer boxes of partial boxes. I have Bullseye, BE-86, Unique, HP-38, and H110 available and the brass is primed with...

I have loaded thousands of rounds of my favorite 357 load over the years. I only make one load for it, I only have one 357, a 6” stainless GP-100. The load is 5.0 grains of bullseye under a Lee 158SWC wheel weight bullet tumble lubed with a light crimp. No chronograph available to me so I’m not...

Im thinking about another AR from Palmetto and I think this will be a little more accurate than the run of the mill AR. It is an 18” rifle length 233 Wylde. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-18-rl-223-wylde-15-mlok-moe-ept-rifle-kit-w-mbus-ss.html It will just be for punching paper at maybe...

Reading the thread about the new load manual coming out I realize I won’t need to buy any more. I’m shooting one load in my 357(158 Lee swc over 5.0 grains of bullseye), one load in 38(a Lee 148 wc over 2.7 grains of bullseye), and now 4 loads in 6 9mm’s using Lee 124 cast and coated or RMR 124...

Ran across this and had some thoughts. https://www.outdoorlife.com/cartridge-primer-technology-developments/?fbclid=IwAR0qZJU6KOpzlcUPNMxUZUNoM4woQQAzItCLSRuWv8QhJcG88ni39r1M0DU If this is safer to make and less hazardous, is it plausible that more companies may startup using this compound or...

please let’s keep this civil and open. Here are my thoughts on ammo for defensive uses: It doesn’t really matter very much. There, I said it. Let me explain my thoughts. Bullet placement is what really matters, everything else is secondary. The extra .04” of expansion matters little if you hit...

I’m thinking about nickel plating a batch of LC223 for my Savage Axis just because I think it would be cool. This brass will only be used in this rifle. I do have a couple questions before I get into it. 1. Plating wouldn’t add enough dimension that it would be a problem, right? 2. Would you...

We are seeing lots of squib posts lately. Please folks, before you have one, get on evilbay or amazon or somewhere and order yourself a brass rod close to the diameter of whatever you are shooting. They are not expensive. Don’t use wooden rods, sticks, or aluminum cleaning rod pieces, you are...

Were these ever offered as components to reloaders? I’m going through some stuff to get rifle of and find myself with some and I can’t seem to value them. They are 125 critical defense and are .357 diameter. I’ll never load them and think they may do well on gunbroker. Does anyone have an idea...

This is what I’m after as far as the “look” of the gun. Is this a pistol as it is, I think I am finally ready to start rounding up a bunch of money to make it happen. I’d rather not fool with nfa if possible.

We all have heard stories that may or may not have had some basis in truth. We all have heard some that were stretching the bounds of plausibility but could have been true. Just how do you know where to draw the line between yup, that’s cool and just calling bs on it? What stories have you been...

Does anyone know the BC on this bullet? I’m working up some loads for it in a Savage Axis 223 1/9 with BL-C(2) and will be trying to play with some apps to start my foray into “longer range” shooting(3-500 yards) I have been limited to 100 yard ranges until now and really just want to hit a milk...

A friend called to tell me someone had lost a bunch of brass on the road not far from me and I should go check it out. Knowing the brass hound I am he thought of me. Apparently someone was transporting a 55 gallon drum of brass and it spilled going down an off ramp. When I got there it had been...

I recently fought and mostly won a battle with throat cancer, but have some unusual side effects. The big one is I have a feeding tube coming out of my chest right below my sternum and I now also have a hiatal hernia at the same location. That being that, I have a new rifle I want to shoot...

i have a Savage axis 223 and am considering some longer bullets for it that will have to be loaded individually. I know there is some kind of device to aid in that, but that’s all I know about it. So what is it called, and are they rifle spec, caliber specific, or universal? I’m just wanting...

I'm having my yearly problem with these pests and was thinking about loading some cornmeal in some 9mm cases and seeing if that will be more fun than chasing them with a flyswatter. I’m thinking 1 grain of BE-86 then a card then fill the case with cornmeal and glue another card over that. Does...
