    Question on AR platform, DI vs piston

    If you want an AR stick with the DI design, if you want a piston rifle then get one designed as a piston gun from the start. Overall, you will have less issues. As a side note, a local PD has filed a lawsuit against Adams Arms, they bought a bunch of rifles from them and they don't work as...

    Camp Perry

    My father just passed away and while in the process of going thru the house I found something I need help with. I have a silver coffee pot trophy which reads, "Best Shot Camp Perry John G. Justice June 18th 1890". Google has nothing on the name and Camp Perry didn't exist until exist until 1909...

    New AR/ AR10 purchase options

    Just built a AR10 with Aero Precision upper,lower and handguard. Used a ultra match 20" barrel from Rainer Arms. Have only shot it with iron sights, still deciding on optic, but couldn't be happier so far.

    Explain the AR platform to me.

    That part is closer to being true than you might think. The round you are referring to is the 458 Socom. Its ballistics are identical to mid-level 45/70 loads, you can push a 405 gr at 1600 fps+ out of a 16" barrel in a semi-auto platform. As far as the rest of your post and the other examples...

    CZ 75 9mm and 147 Grainers

    While not exactly the same gun, I have a CZ 75 SP-01 and a 75 Tactical Sport Orange. Haven't gotten around to reloading yet, bought 2000 from Georgia Arms for the brass. I shoot their 147 gr JHP and have no issues in either gun, OAL is 1.128". No idea what bullet they use, maybe see if you can...

    Great day for me, not so much for savings

    Walkalong, very nice. Starting to think they are unicorns. I find myself at an interesting point in my life. The kids are grown, well out of the house anyway. I started young, oldest is 32 and youngest is 25, 4 grandkids oldest is 12, I am only 49. My car and truck are paid for, wife owes 1800...

    Great day for me, not so much for savings

    Thanks all, hope to get to the range in next couple days. I have absolutely no need for either, esp another 1911, but a used EB that I don't think anyone ever shot and if they did could not have been more than a mag or two for 2000 out the door was too tempting to walk away. I really have no...

    Loading m model 1894 .45 colt to 454 casull specs?

    Bad, bad, bad idea if you want to keep your face and fingers in their current condition. Even the Marlin 1895 in 45/70 is not rated for that kind of pressure.

    Novice reloader trimming brass question.

    If you are one of the top 1% shooters in the world you might see a difference in accuracy. I would keep them as a separate lot first because they are once fired, second being shorter(they will catch back up). To get the most life from your brass get this, http://www.larrywillis.com/.

    velocity and groups

    Ok, first off, it can sometimes be a bad idea to start below the listed start charge. That is one of the ways you can end up with a squib load. Most rifles will have 2 accuracy nodes, one at the lower end of the load and another towards the upper end. Work up toward max and you may find another...

    Little background, donor rifle was a Savage 116 in 30/06 converted to 300 WM. Using an MDT HS3 chassis and at the rear of the mag well part of the receiver extends into the mag well blocking the mag from seating. I appears that I will need to remove about .200"+/- from rear of opening of...

    She wants her own gun

    Sometimes it works out funny like that. My wife's twin sister expressed an interest in learning to shoot with the idea of getting a CWP. She had never fired any gun and I took a wide range of offerings from 22 to 45. She loved the 686 with the full house 357 mag loads. Go figure.

    .50 ar uppers

    I would not. Buddy has the 29" model and it is a handful. Recoil is not too bad, but after about 15 rds. or so I want to find something else to play with. Shorter and lighter doesn't give me a good feeling. They are well built and accurate, had no problems hitting milk jugs at 500 yards with M2...

    DBM vs. Hinged Floorplate

    For your intended purpose, hinged, but I like DBM as well. If you are dead set on a Mausingfield action, then the decision is made, which I would not see as a handicap. Using a Savage action would give you options and you can now do same QC barrels on Rem 700 style actions. Just google remage...

    Need Help reloading 7.62

    Usually is specific data for the M1 family of rifles. They have different max pressure and more important is the pressure curve, due the the op rod operation in those rifles. Too high pressure causes problems, to quick/slow of a spike in pressure cause problems. Those issues are more specific to...
