With the 500 bullets for just the postage offer the Hornady is a fair deal on price. For my money the 650 really benefits from a case feeder so although it too is worth the money the initial investment is quite a bit more money. The Hornady is a big press - as they all are except the Square Deal...

Is there a die set to do 12 gauge with 7/8-14 threads? No there is not. 7/8-14 threads don't work for 12 gauge dies. Hollywood once offered 12 gauge dies for their big turrets with big threads to match. There are issues of wad column and the condition of the hull that may lead to issues with...

More speed gives more rpm but also means hitting more molecules per time (effectively increases air density) so both stability and need for stability increase for less net gain than you might expect. Hence I ordered my own Shilen barrel with a 1/9 twist. Lots of possibilities from the scope to...

News to me - the thread has already mentioned a forthcoming Lyman I haven't seen one yet. IMHO Lyman has hit us with vaporware too often. Maybe an off-shore vendor offers Lyman something at a price point that can't be met with better than Harbor Freight quality control?

Agreed on the extra barrel length gives more RPM and so improves stability Agreed on the extra barrel length gives more RPM and so improves stability. And the extra barrel length gives more speed and so increases the air resistance - more molecules hit per unit of time - so rpm is increased...

Short answer - RPM depends on air density and also on bullet speed so there is no simple answer to a complex question - the bullet makers give a useful answer. (should be easy to believe aerodynamic effects vary with speed see e.g. area rule for supersonic aircraft - pushing bullets faster to...

Everybody has nailed it. Performance in the .38 S&W Special is often as good as it gets. Similar loads in .357 Remington Magnum cases will do just fine. Higher pressure loads in the .357 Remington Magnum there are vastly superior powders.

Are you using wind flags? Can you demonstrate smaller groups from another rifle during the same range session? Is the scope and scope mount known good? Any parallax or slop in the scope at all? Has anybody else who can show smaller groups with his own rifle tried yours? How do the various...

Agreed on the Gradient Hawkeye. I notice the cheaper, cardboard boxed non-focusing mode seems to have been phased out as the competition is picking up and the Lyman is on the horizon (along with a new Lyman lead pot that actually shipped a handful before going back to perpetual no stock)...

http://www.tacticalrx.com/index.html Full ballistic protection with swappable lenses. I have a set with a switch lens for the dominant eye - mixed distant for the off eye and pistol sights for the dominant eye or distant in both eyes for normal wear. Notice that full wrap around...

My own choice has been from http://www.tacticalrx.com/ Fully-Custom Prescription Safety, Shooting and Tactical Glasses I suppose pricey but I don't know a cheaper way to get the results so I pay happily,.

That's a useful suggestion thanks. The other issue with AR pattern firing pins is doing an AR and a 1911 at the same time with the firing pin used as a tool on the 1911 then put back in the rifle. This has actually caused some in-service failures. A dedicated AR15 firing pin in the range bag...

Ask the man who is going to put it on the rifle what he likes. Last I knew Hart did a good job of installing their own barrels with a reasonable turn around but had fallen out of favor along with most button rifled barrels such as Shilen. That said and speaking as an old man I like Hart and...

I used Dri Slide and aereosols with Moly during the Vietnam era. I used Dri Slide and aereosols with Moly during the Vietnam era. I had to really shake up the Dri Slide can and the carrier did not evaporate quickly. I used aerosols - Zep brand I think it was chain and cable lube which was a...

What happens when a modern sporting rifle AR pattern rifle is assembled carefully in all respects but the firing pin is left out? I've heard it's a bad idea and the implication was it's a pain to correct the mistake - the firing pin aligns some parts - but I've never tried it and don't know...

Batch processing tends to be faster than completing each cartridge before going to the next one. On the other hand a turret - I have a Redding T-7 and a Harrels - is nice for leaving dies and tooling setup and ready to go. I'd hate to adjust a sizing die with a Redding Instant Indicator...

I've seen damage on my own carry gun but not major Mostly a few spots that look like the checkering hasn't been pointed up. I'm not going to find a camera and review how to post pictures. My own preference is 25 lpi and would once in my youth when I was a horny handed son of toil have been 20...

Dillon carbide dies for the .357 SIG used alone demand case lube, just as other bottleneck carbide dies such as the Dillon .223/5.56 and .30-'06 dies in carbide demand lubrication. It is possible to avoid case lube with the .357 SIG by doing body and neck in two (or more) steps. As by first...

Alliant long ago warned about 125 grain loads in a .357 and advised no use at all in a .41 Remington Magnum. There are many reports of odd results and pressure spikes at extremes of both high and low temperature.

Maybe so. I suppose #8 works as well as it ever did but that may be to damn with faint praise. I'm not sure Speer #8 ever worked very well. IIRC there was a second printing as #8 with some 4756 loads dropped for whatever reasons. There are later editions with new numbers and even more...
