    Large Small Rifle Primers for 6.5mm Creedmoore

    I have noticed recently that 6.5mm Creedmoore brass is offered with small or large primer pockets. Is there an advantage of one over the other? I've only used large rifle primers for this rifle. Thanks in advance for any help with this question. Shabo

    Looking for a new laser rangefinder

    I'm looking to buy a new rangefinder. I have a Nikon Rifle Hunter 550 I bought maybe 8 years ago. It still works but the rubber on the exterior of the unit has turned into a gooey mushy mess. It's like it was dipped into a solvent or something. I have a Cannon SLR that has the same problem with...

    Saami Specs?

    I'm looking at the chamber diagram on the saami spec sheet for the 6.5 Creedmoor round. I want to know where the rifling starts. I see the end of the chamber @ 1.925". There are three more dimensions listed after the end of the chamber. Can someone tell me what those dimensions are? Which one is...

    Lee Collet Die...Patent Expiration?

    Anyone know when Lee's patent on it's collet dies expires? I would expect the other major die makers to start making these dies whenever it does. I've read a lot of good reviews of these dies. They don't make one in 6.5mm Creedmoor so I'll have to wait for others to join the market. Shabo

    Neck Length?

    How much length should be left open in the chamber to allow for neck growth? I'm just getting started loading 6.5mm Creedmoor and have found out the distance from bolt face to the end of my chamber. Now how much should I subtract from this measurement to determine the max case length I should...

    Tikka T3 Tactical - Eval?

    The T3 Tac is a .308 stick. I've been reading up on the 6.5x55 round and am liking what I've read so far. I intend to buy a single stage press and reload for whatever rifle I eventually get. Shabo

    Tikka T3 Tactical - Eval?

    I've got an AR-10 that I'm not happy with the accuracy. It won't hold smaller than 5 inch groups out to 200 yds with different brands and bullet weights of 'match grade' ammo. So I'm gonna sell it. I want to replace it with a more accurate rifle. I looked at a few precision rifle builders...

    AR-10 versus nice AR-15 build: advice? Suggestions?

    I sold a Savage 10FP-LE2B (26" barrel, McMillen stocked bolt gun) to purchase an Armalite AR-10. I wanted a semi auto .308, so I thought. I regret that decision now. The Savage was a tack driver right out of the box. The AccuTrigger is the best trigger I've ever shot. My AR-10 is a 2 -3 MOA...

    22 conversion AR kit or Marlin 60/Ruger10/22?

    I've got a 10/22 and really like it a lot. I haven't shot it in a while because as someone above said I don't think it's much fun. I'll end up leaving it to my son or first grandson some day (hopefully not too soon). I bought a CMMG 22 conversion kit for my AR's. I think I bought it from...

    I'm lost, does anyone have a 9mm compass?

    M&P 9c, 12+1 capacity, American quality construction, first rate customer service, fair price, lifetime waranty, nuff said. Shabo

    A gun similar to a glock but without the sharp grip angle?

    Another vote for the M&P here. I have the 9c and 45c for carry duty. I like the XD as well but the M&P's are made by Americans, I always buy American when the quality is equal to the import. S&W's customer service is second to none in my opinion. Quality American company that should be supported...

    Source for M&P 45c mags??

    Plastic AR-15 Magazines

    I just ordered a few Magpul PMags to check them out. I'm impressed and will be buying more soon. I bought a couple 20 rounders and a couple 30 rounders with the clear window. All worked flawlessly in my LWRC rifle. I like the fact that you can fully load a mag and put the protective cover on...

    Bersa 380

    I got one for the wife to take on business trips when she has to stay in a hotel alone. It's a good gun/caliber to introduce someone to semiauto pistols who may not be able to rack the slide on a larger caliber gun. That's where my wife was, she couldn't rack the slide on my M&P 9c. The gun...

    Glock Teases to 4th Gen Pistols for 2010

    I think the interchangable grip panels will be a big selling point for Glock. I would like to see them make a CCW model that wasn't so 'brickish' in size. A different grip angle would be good as well. I guess it wouldn't be a Glock then would it? Guess I'll stick to my M&P's. They were...

    Removing light rail from M&P 45c

    Anyone out there removed the light rail from an M&P pistol? I'm gonna buy an M&P .45c and don't want the rail on the gun. I know the M&P's have a stainless skeleton embedded in the polymer frame. I doubt it extends into the rail though. I think a dremel tool will make short work of the rail...

    Colts XSE or S&W 1911 SC

    I could have authored this post. I'm considering the same two pistols. I have never owned a Colt (part of the reason I'm looking at the XSE) but I do own an early model 5" S&W 1911 (with the billboard rollmark as noted in a post above this one). I have not had one problem with that gun. I've got...

    Looking for Hi Cap .45 for CCW

    I consider a .45 compact with a 10 round capacity to be hi-cap. I looked at the G30 and the XD compact. I thought the triggers on both guns were less than desirable. My M&P 9c has a much better trigger than either of these two guns in my opinion. The long pull length is part of the safety system...
