    Myth of brass carrying away heat from a chamber

    While I agree with much of what you posted (especially the last sentence), I would suggest the brass lowers the temperature of the chamber before the round goes off. More precisely, the chamber transfers heat into the brass, the round is fired, and the brass transfers heat into the chamber...

    Considering moving to New Hampshire, Vermont or Maine. How are gun laws and attitudes

    While I agree with the attitude towards licensing for concealed carry, our cost is $10 for four years. The license is 'shall-issue,' with a response within 14 days (a legal requirement) from your licensing authority (local PD). NH also has a constitutional carry bill in the legislature. It...

    Isn't running from British oppression exactly what created America? :evil:

    CCW at 18?

    So should I, as a 24 year old, not be allowed to vote? Your assertion that an adult (between 18 and 24) with an 'immature brain' isn't capable of making decisions for themselves is intriguing, both legally and personally. If the human brain is unable to properly process and interpret data...

    S&W 625-7...JM? Performance Center? what on earth did I just buy?

    Last night I picked up a smith and wesson on a whim. It is chambered in 45acp, marked 'performance center,' and I am 95% sure the price was spectacular. That being said, I cannot figure out the details. It is marked 625-7 behind the yoke. It has the 'performance center' markings on the...

    Want AR 10 Type rifle

    I have a DPMS SASS that I like. DPMS sells a large range of models. I don't think it is reasonable to clump them all together. Most DPMS-bashing is theoretical. I doubt you will find a DPMS owner who regrets purchasing their rifle. I don't.

    10mm & .357 mag powder??

    I use AA9 for both calibers. Metering is a non-issue. I have been very happy with it.

    Truly American Made 1911?

    I don't know where they source their metals, but as far as I know the Ruger SR1911 is all American made. From Ruger's site: "We are very proud to offer a 1911 pistol, an icon of American gun design and manufacturing," said Ruger CEO Michael Fifer. "In this 100-anniversary year of the...

    RCmodel, Walkalong, or another expert please explain S.D.

    :banghead: You can. What you will find is that you divide weight by diameter squared (in dimensions of length squared). You do not divide by diameter, as quoted (which would have dimensions of length). The quote mentioned diameter having dimensions of length squared. It is a confusion...

    Lowest Price for 40 Cal Projectiles?

    Rocky mountain reloading beats that by $16 with shipping included, for FMJ bullets (though pulled). His 'normal' price is $52, but if you use the coupon code found on THR, its down to $47. I ordered 3000 bullets a couple of days ago, and am satisfied with price, speed of shipment, etc. They...

    used Dillon RL550

    I bought a brand new 550b for $312 online (granted, with no caliber conversions). If you are patient, deals come around.

    Range Finder

    Pfff, forget six, how about 25 km (accuracy +/- 5 m) with a laser that is still considered eye-safe? Check out the Vector 23. No clue what that one costs, but it must be astronomical. prices were found by searching snipershide.

    Range Finder

    Challenge accepted. :neener: Vectronix Vector IV: starting at around $13k, and available to civilians. The other models (21, 23, etc) are rumored to be even more expensive, though I wasn't able to find definitive prices...

    Help!! Rifle seems to suddenly group poorly.

    Being a fellow new-englander, I am going to suggest it may be temperature related. It is 36 degrees outside right now in southern NH; certainly not winter weather just yet, but enough to make a difference with a temperature sensitive powder.

    Using a tumbler to clean brass

    While it's true the stainless may be low grade, it doesn't matter in the least. I have been using mine for a while (definitely over a year), and I have never seen any rust. I use a 'mechanics magnet' (I think 1lb?) from an auto parts store to pick up any stragglers.

    Using a tumbler to clean brass

    Brass, no, but there is enough iron content that these stainless pins do stick to a magnet. The use of a magnet is likely shown in the videos.
