Well, I sent my Glock 19 slide back to Glock to have some of their steel sights put on to replace the plastic OE sights. I have to give them props as they installed the sights and sent the slide back in a week and a half, but also went through the everything "in" the slide and replaced most of...

The 6.5 Grendel has intrigued me lately with its very good ballistics, long’ish range, low recoil and cheap to feed from a bolt gun (something like a Howa Mini Action 1500). The one negative I’ve found is that if one wants to get further out than 600 or so yards, it starts to lose steam with...

I am a big fan of MBC bullets for reloading. In their new Hi-Tek coated bullets, some of them are offered in regular style with lube grooves in the bullets (say, 200 gr. 45 ACP SWC's) and coated, and some are now offered in a grooveless design with no lube grooves as there is no lube needed...

Well, I've taken the plunge! In purusing local gun ads, I saw a Les Baer Premier II for sale for what looked to be a potential reasonable price. After a few emails, we came to an agreement on price and did the deal this past Sat. It had 150 rounds through it, and looked new. It was a tight...

Question on reloading the 45-70 cartridge for my new Marlin 1895, my first rifle cartridge I’ll be reloading for (I have a Dillon SDB for all my pistol cartridges and MEC 9000 for shotgunning). Just picked up the rifle a few weeks ago, and shot some Rem. 405 JSP rounds through it. In the next...

I just purchased a new Marlin 1895 with the 22" barrel last week (see "Marlin quality improved" thread for pics), and want to replace the solid rubber recoil pad with either a Pachmayer Decelerator or Limbsaver recoil pad. Does anyone have experience with one of those "prefit" recoil pads on an...

I switched over from my old .44 Special load of a 200 gr. RNFP to a 240 LSWC. In adjusting the seating die to get a COL of 1.45" as proscribed in the Hodgdon manual. I have turned the seating die all the way down (station 3) and can only get the COL to 1.487". Two questions, firstly, is there...

I am losing my mind. I have a Remington R1 Carry I am reloading for. I have a Dillon SDB that I've reloaded 9mm .38 and .44 rounds for for years with no problems. I recently bought .45 ACP dies from Dillon to reload for the R1. I am reloading a 200 gr. SWC from Missouri Bullet Co. with 5.0...

I am picking up a new 1911 in .45 (buying one again, this would be my third 1911). When I owned my last .45, I shot factory ammo. Now that I reload (.38/.357, .44 and 9mm) on a SDB, I am going to pick up some new dies for .45 and begin reloading for it too. This will only be used for punching...

Here's an article from the Milwaukee Journal about a botched BATF operation. The Democrats lambast us law abiding gun owners for having semi-automatic firearms (EBR's), but in this article the BATF has a fully automatic M4 stolen!!! A true "assault weapon". Why isn't this story on the evening...

Looking at Cabela's website, I don't see any .223 ammo listed. When you choose which caliber of rifle ammo you want to look at, they don't even list .223/5.56 as a choice. I realize they may not have any in stock, but wouldn't they still list it? Have they gotten out of the business of...

In addition to the NRA (am a current member), what other organizations are effective in fighting against the anti-gunner entities out there? With the recent events, who else could use our dollars to help us keep our second amendment rights? Happy holidays to all!!!

Saw that Remington has a $40 rebate on their 700 SPS. Does anyone know if that applies to the 700 SPS Tactical? I can't tell from the rebate form. Cheers!

I have been toying with the idea of getting a .223 bolt action precision rifle. I've noticed that many of them come with 1 in 12 twist rifling, vs. the 1 in 7 or 1 in 9 rifling that most AR's come with. Would I be seriously be limiting myself as to bullet weights with a 1 in 12 twist? I...

Thinking of getting a .223 rifle for punching paper at longer ranges than my current Rem. 597 .22LR HB. I saw a Howa 1500 Heavy Barrel Varminteer at my LGS with a Nikko Sterling scope for $750. Being more familar with Remington and Savage rifles for reaching out to touch something, I thought I...

Just a curiosity...how long can I run a tumbler without harming the motor? I usually run my Lyman tumbler 1-2 hours, but could it be run 4 or 5 hours without harming it? Thanks!

Saw in yesterdays Wall St. Journal that Robert Nardelli is resigning his post at Cerberus Group, specifically as the CEO of the Freedom Group which owns Remington, Marlin, DPMS, etc. Bob was the failed CEO of Home Depot (although he got a great severance package) and Chrysler before he went...

Ok, I got a bullet stuck in the barrel of my Glock G19. I was shooting some reloads today, and one of the rounds went pffft... instead of Bang! Stopped, took it apart and my 115 gr. Berry's plated bullet was lodged about 1/2" from where it started. I'm sure I had no powder in the case and the...

I remember that Smith has had on occaision had specials on the M&P line of pistols where they give $50 off or two extra mags. Anyone know if there is some rhyme or reason as to when they typically run these promotions? I'm thinking of adding a M&P9c to my collection. Thanks!

Have read the great reviews of the Magpul DVD's, and purchased the Art of the Dynamic Handgun and Shotgun too. When I tried to play them on my Apple Macbook, they wouldn't play, or hardly eject. Has anyone else had problems playing these DVD's on computers, vs. on a DVD player? I'm hoping...
