I'm looking to order a few thousand processed 5.56x45 cases. By processed, I mean cleaned, deprimed, primer pocket swaged or reamed, resized to SAMMI spec, trimmed to 1.750", and chamfered/deburred. I'm open to purchasing cases, or sending a bunch of mine in for processing, depending on...

This came up at a practice session yesterday - think of it as a variant of those 'Three guns for the rest of your life' threads... If you could only, ever, for the rest of your life, shoot three different practice drills, what would they be and why? Note - For these purposes, a practice...

This may be one of those really obvious questions, but it came up today when I was shooting some drills on 3x5 index cards at 7-10 yards. I'm seeing a significant change in my point of impact when I shoot quickly, as opposed to when I shoot slow. If I shoot with a very slow, careful...

So at the Fredericksburg USPSA match this morning, I was chatting with a friend about dryfire practice. Offhand, I asked him, "So, do you have dryfire pants?" What in the world are dryfire pants, you ask? Let me explain. I do dryfire practice usually twice a day, half an hour in the morning...

I'm thinking about trying something new out for my next 3-gun rifle. I want to use a mid-power mil-dot optic with good external adjustments, and see if dialing corrections is any faster/more accurate than holding over. Problem is, I'm not sure that there's a suitable scope out there. What I...

Title says it all. Who makes the best castle nut wrench for AR collapsible stocks, and where can I get one? -C

This past Sunday, I participated in the 2011 York 3-Man Team 3-Gun Match. This match is the brainchild of Howard Thompson, longtime 3-gunner and match director at the York, PA Izaac Walton League. It combines some elements of outlaw 3-gun, Sportsman's Team Challenge, and the old Second Chance...

I read this a few days ago, and found it interesting: http://www.combatshootingandtactics.com/published/thebattlefieldzerofullpictures.pdf Short version, Paul Howe advocates a carbine battle zero 3" high at 100 yards. He describes several advantages to this zero, mainly, easier hits out at...

Keep It Simple, Stupid. We've all heard it, often in Rifle Country threads featuring extravagantly customized AR-15s. The implication is usually that a 'serious' rifleman only needs iron sights and maybe a sling, and that optics, lights, lasers, vertical foregrips, etc., are all the domain of...

I've decided to go ahead with my plan to purchase an STI Trojan singlestack 1911. This won't be quite my first 1911, but it'll be the first one I plan to put a lot of rounds through. Whatever gun I get, I plan to shoot it in USPSA Single Stack division, IDPA ESP or CDP division, Steel...

Okay, I have a Tactical Solutions AR-22 dedicated .22LR carbine. I do most of my rifle practice with it. Cheap ammo, light, etc., etc., blah blah blah... I'd like to get some more magazines for it. What's the word on the 3rd Gen Black Dog Machine AR15.22 magazines? Also, I have heard...

My usual 3-gun shotgun is a Benelli M2 Field with a 21" vent rib barrel. Great gun, very reliable, but I've always had accuracy issues when shooting slugs. Lousy groups, like 8"+ at fifty yards, and worse, the slugs would impact nowhere near the point of aim. This was annoying. It was also...

I'm sure that most of us are familiar with the www.pistol-training.com F.A.S.T. Drill. Short version - put two targets out at 7 yards, one 3x5 index card, one 8" circle. Start with your pistol holstered, concealed, and loaded with two rounds only. On the beep, you draw and fire two rounds...

I feel like building up a lightweight AR with a 10.3" barrel. I would like to be able to run it both suppressed and un-suppressed without changing the setup. Should I use an adjustable gas block? Will I need to adjust the gas system when mounting or removing the suppressor (this would be...

What kind of accuracy are y'all getting with Hornady's 55 grain FMJ-BT bullet in .223 Remington? I'm especially interested in accuracy at longer ranges, 300+ yards. Please include your load data. Thanks, Chris

I need a set of soft, non-skid elbow pads for 3gun and practical rifle. I have a set of Hatch neoprene elbow pads, and they're way too loose for my scrawny arms (love the kneepads, though.) Any suggestions? - Chris

I'm in the process of building a Limited gun on an STI frame/slide kit. I've built up a few 1911-style guns over the past few years, but this is my first widebody gun. For trigger components, I decided on the Light Ultra Match kit from Cylinder & Slide. I normally don't expect pre-fit 1911...

Entirely theoretical question here... If one wanted to set up a shooting range on their property, for personal use only, what is the minimum acreage they could get away with? For the sake of the exercise, let's stipulate pistols, shotguns, and .22LR rifles only. Range dimensions of, say...

Anybody from THR going to the MGM Ironman this year? - Chris

I've got to source a few thousand rounds of 9mm ammunition for an upcoming training class - enough so that I don't want to reload it all. I normally buy bulk ammo from Georgia Arms, but I've heard some talk lately that the quality has been going downhill. I'm looking, right now, at 9mm...
