    The unforeseen dangers of the terror watch list gun ban

    I don't post much these days, however, I feel the need to get this information our there as much as I can, and point out the critical flaws of the recently proposed terror watch list gun ban. Problems with this idea: 1. Banning possession of firearms and ammunition to people who are...

    CCW at grocery store (Story, kind of funny)

    I was recently shopping at a store I go to sometimes that is not posted as anti-gun. Carrying a Glock 19 in a cheapo shoulder holster, wearing a North Face jacket over it all. When I walked into the meat department, I noticed an older lady glaring straight at me. I guess she must have saw my...

    Is it OK to wash reloaded .223 ammo in soap and water to remove case lube?

    I forgot to remove the case lube off some rounds I loaded in new brass. I know about not firing lubed rounds because of chamber grip and headspace so my question is, can I just throw them in a container and give em a squirt of dawn soap and rinse?

    Ruger SP101 .357 Snub locking up- cant figure out why

    I cannot figure out why my revolver keeps locking up when I shoot my cast reloads. It will go fine for a few reloads, but then the rounds stop dropping in freely and have to be pushed in, and then the cylinder won't rotate and seems to get stuck on something. I have to take a cleaning kit with...

    The gun grabber agenda (What to get ready for)

    I've made some posts regarding my thoughts on this matter, however, I feel like a consolidated thread is the best place to voice my concerns on this issue. There has been some talk in the media by far-left outlets about how complete gun confiscation would be the ideal solution to our...

    Dryer sheet contaminated powder

    Hello everyone, I recently got a Hornady LNL Powder measure that I mounted to my desk, I followed the hornady instructions exactly, using the Oneshot gun cleaner and lube on it, and it has been nothing but problems, sticking powder everywhere, inconsistent throws, I even tried the dryer sheet...

    Crimping .223 for AR, can it be overcrimped?

    Is it possible to overcrimp a .223 round enough to raise pressure and cause a safety concern? I'm using the Lee FCD and hornady 55gr bullets w/ cannelure

    Military 5.56 brass decapping problems

    I'm trying to decap some lake city 5.56 brass to reload them, but the pin keeps backing out on my die, I tapped it back in with a hammer gently several times but it keeps backing out, and the nut is impossible to move even with channel lock plyers, I ordered the lee universal decapping die, but...

    Ruger SP101 .357 2" Barrel w/ .357 - Velocity question

    I was curious what kind of velocity I could expect out of this 2" barrel with absolute max .357 loads. The hottest stuff I could find so far is the Buffalo Bore 125gr @1700fps but that's out of 6" barrel though I believe, so it's clearly not gonna be going that fast, I have done alot of google...

    Shot my first cast reloads today.. little issue

    I seem to be getting excessive leading on the chamber throats, and as a result it binds up when I try to pull the trigger for the next shot. Is it just a gun/bullet issue? or is it something I'm doing wrong. It's not an issue of the bullets backing out from recoil, as I tried rounds that have...

    Question about seating lead bullets

    I am loading up a test batch of .38 special with 158gr LSWC bullets, sitting on 3.5 grains of VV-N320, and the data calls for a COL of 1.437, however, at this depth the crimp grove of my bullet is below the rim of the case, is this alright? I would usually roll crimp into this grove, but now...

    Over crimping?

    I like to put a nice firm crimp on my .38 special XTP 110gr loads, I was just wondering if its possible to overcrimp? and if it would just ruin accuracy or create a saftey concern.

    Using lead bullet data for loading Rainer Plated HP in .38 special

    Is it ok to use lead bullet data for loading my .38 special loads with rainier plated 158gr bullets? I have read that lead bullets and plated bullets have very similar pressure, but I just wanted to hear it from some more people before I actually try to load them and blow my gun up...

    Just snagged 2lb of VV N320, 38 special advice

    Just managed to get 2lb of VV N320 and it was sold out in 9 minutes, my question is, those of you who have used it in 38 SPL, is there any weird quirks or tricks when using this powder? Gonna be loading them on my lee hand press. Only other powder I used for 38 spl is unique.

    Overheard some TERRIBLE reloading advice today

    I was at my local sporting goods store trying to see if they had any unique or bullseye in stock, after the clerk informed me that he did not have any, and that it might be years before it was his turn to get some, I overheard another customer asking about reloading dies and how to figure out if...

    Ruger SP101 .357 question

    I recently bought a new Ruger SP101 357 mag This is really hard to explain and I can't get my camera to focus well enough for it to be visible. There appears to be like a small cut underneath one part of the rifling, but its only on the 8 o'clock position of the crown, almost as if it was...

    My funny story about federal ammunition

    I haven't posted on THR in awhile, and I was just thinking about this today so I figured I'd post it on here. Back before the big ammo rush when .22lr was still available for purchase in stores, I had bought one of the federal bulkpack 22lr which was 525 rounds. I was bored one day and...

    Ohio apprentice hunting license

    Question for those of you in Ohio or who know about this question, Can someone with an Ohio apprentice hunting license carry their own rifle or do they have to share with the licensed hunter that's supervising them. I can't find a straight answer to this anywhere despite my best efforts.
