    Reminder about Dicks and Cheaper Than Dirt - Don't shop there

    Thanks for bringing this up. Will definitely avoid dicks and CTD, which with their current prices, shouldn't be very hard to do.

    What is this bulge at the neck?

    Did this bulge occur on all cases? It could just be from hitting the brass deflector assuming you are running these through an AR. I'm no expert though. That ring around the case head looks kind of suspicious to me as well.

    Rifle Scopes Recommended tool for general torquing of scope/rifle?

    +1 for Borka. Keep in mind it's so much more than a torque wrench. Every range trip someone asks me to borrow it to tighten/loosen/screw something.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns It is nice to shoot a 9mm 1911 again.

    Also check out the tripp mags. I've been using them in my Kimber Stainless Target II (the other on roster 9mm 1911) without issue. Definitely spend more time learning the gun before you decide to do anything to it or upgrade to another model although as a Californian it may be a non issue since...

    Dewey Product Recommendations

    I've had great success with their rods and extended bore guides. I use them on all my rifles (AR15, 223 bolt, 308 bolt). Make sure you measure out the length and get the rod that is just longer than what you need. It makes it a little easier to push through.

    Chargemaster crapped out again

    Just curious, but how exactly did it wear out? I've had no problems with my chargemaster but i'm not using it nearly as much as you. I've actually been eyeing an omega powder trickler so I'm throwing that out there as an option to you with the caveat that I've never personally used it.

    Electronic Ear Muffs

    1911fan. I was having the same thoughts before picking up a set of msa sordins. After getting them and trying them for my particular use case which is always doubling up with plugs, they seem to have similar noise reduction to my large 26db nrr Howard leights. Gunshots do sound different but not...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Les Bear or Ed Brown 1911

    When did they loosen them up? I have one purchased 8/12 and its still tight to the point I have to press check to break lockup and that's after about 1000 rounds.

    RCBS Chargemaster or other electronic powder scales/dispensers

    +1 for this mod. I learned the hard way.

    M&P10 after mods

    Thanks for the how-to. I love the troy handguards and I've been itching for a 308 semiauto lately. Very nice!

    Any update on the Amr reticle kahles scope?

    Gunsmithing Torque screwdriver best bang

    +1 on the borka. With the carrying case it's easy to keep it in your range bag all the time.

    RCBS Chargemaster or other electronic powder scales/dispensers

    There are also some CM reprogramming instructions you can use to speed up your throws. Don't be too aggressive with it or you may get over throws and it helps to tailor the programming to the charge weights you use the most.

    Gunsmithing What Torque for the Action Mounting Screws?

    Mccree instructions say 60 so I've been using that figure across all my 700 action based rifles.
