My question: Which is easier to seat using a Hornady LNL, Remington or Winchester primers? For the longest time I've been loading with my LNL using CCI primers. I've always used two up strokes and a good deal of force on the press handle to make sure the primers were seated. Recently, the...

I noticed on the Montana Gold website that there is the is this description on the .38 JHP's: "125gr JHP NOW YELLOW NOT PINK". :what: I googled but couldn't find anything on this feature change. Does anyone have pictures of these before the change to yellow??? I read once upon a time...

I picked up a Hornady LNL AP press (with EZ-Ject) from Cabelas right before Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Cabelas didn't have 9mm (#8) or .223/.380 (#16) shellplates so I place a MidwayUSA order for those shell plates and a .357" powder through expander (belling attachment) for the Hornady LNL...

'Dog the Bounty Hunter' is on the tube right now. I'm not sure what the episode is about but when I started watching he was rummaging through some guys trash. He pulls a FMJ round out of the trash and says, "I just found a 9mm case in the trash. These are cop killers right here." The...

I found this over on the NortheastShooters forum. It's fantastic to see shooters portrayed positively in the press. I hope someday sport shooting will be all over TV like poker or "xtreme sports." http://www.bangordailynews.com/detail/129784.html

My club has a small 150yd range in need of repair. The backstop and hill behind the backstop are badly worn and need to be rebuilt. We are planning to truck in sand to build a berm against the worn down hill. It's been suggested that we alternate layers of sand and old tires. The tires are...

Does anyone sell an AR-15 lower parts kit (or at least the externally visible parts) coated in Colt grey? I have an vietnam era M16A1 upper and the mismatch in color between it and my stag lower is starting to bother me. I am planning on buying a NoDak retro lower for it but I can't seem...

I built my first AR lower last summer and was planning to order a CMMG mid-length 16" upper for it on my birthday but due to Obama-mania I probably wouldn't see any new upper before April. I found an unfired Colt M16A1 upper still in cosmoline and decided to build an Vietnam era tribute riffle...

Zero JHP appear to have a very similar profile to Hornady XTPs for about $40 less per 1000. Does anyone have any experience with these bullets? If so, how do they compare to XTPs? Can I use XTP loads with these (I'm mainly wondering about COAL)? They seem too good to be true...

Sorry in asdvance for the long post. My scale should arrive early next week so I've been surfing the internet and looking through reloading manuals all day trying to decide on recipes for my first load. I'm using Rainier 124gr plated bullets which aren't listed in many manuals so I'd like to...

Sorry for another newbie question. I searched... Once my scale gets here (or if I can borrow one this weekend) I'm going to start working up some 9mm loads using once fired WWB brass, 124gr Rainier plated RN bullets, CCI 500 primers and W231, Titegroup and Unique powders. These are going to...

I was cleaning my office at work and I came across this article from WSTIAC Quarterly. It reports the results of a .556 caliber leathality study done by the Army due to complaints that soldiers in Afganistan and Iraq were experiencing problems with BGs taking multiple hits up close and still...

Is it typical for new Lee dies to require polishing? I just bought the Lee deluxe carbide 9mm die set and I noticed the expander die was chafing on the inside of the case mouths. After expanding 100 cases I had quite a bit of brass shavings at the bottom of my press. I noticed the...

Hi Everyone! I've decided to start putting a bench together. For my first load I'm going to try to come up with a fairly inexpensive 9mm load for everyday target shooting. My emphasis will be on 10 yard accuracy and cleanliness. I'm thinking about using Rainer 124gn plated RN bullets (I...

I picked up a used CZ-85B circa 1994. The gun shoots fantastic but I was having a lot of FTF's with the hi-cap mag that came with the gun. I recently purchased a Mec Gar mag from Brownells which has solved my FTF problem but now I noticed that the slide likes to lock back before the last...

I bought some old S&B 7.62x25 ammo on gun broker to use in my Romanian Tokarev. The other day I went to my local range and fired off 50 rounds. When I was cleaning up I noticed one of the cases had split from the neck to about 1/3rd of the way straight down the case. None of the case showed...

Hey Guys, I started shooting back in January. I was going to an indoor range once ever other week and dry firing in between. I joined a local club with a small outdoor range about a month ago and I've been trying to shoot twice a week. There is almost never anyone at the local range so I...

I found the SIG P-Series line to be somewhat confusing so I started making an chart to map out the different model and configuration options. I've decided to upload my chart since it took me a few hours and might save other SIG noobs a bit of time and head scratching. If any SIG aficionados...

I posted this on XD Talk but I didn't receive a response so I'm going to repost here in hopes of querying a wider audience. I hope no one minds. I received my surplus P6 at the beginning of April and my only complaint is that the trigger has way more per-travel in SA mode than any of my...
