    Copper Head 55gr bullets - anyone tried these yet?

    Saw these bullets over at The American Marksman and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. I *think* the accuracy should be fairly good since the bullet is solid copper and the bases will be very consistent. Has anyone given these a try yet and can report on how well they shoot...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Hk vp9

    In my opinion there are two striker-fired polymer pistols which are head and shoulders above all the others - the VP9 and PPQ. For a $50-$100 price premium over a Gen4 Glock 19 I can't see why I would purchase the Glock. I have all three sitting in front of me on the desk, here's what I see that...

    Sig Sauer SSG 3000 full write up and myths clarified.

    Muzzle is .750 I believe, so the JP large profile at .750 OD would be a good fit. I had an extra .875 one laying around and it was excellent on the SSG. The .750 would be a better fit. JP Rifles

    Cost v. Benefit of Reloading .308

    Going to have to disagree with this. Last summer I picked up 4 8lb kegs of powder from Powder Valley. Shipping was 15 and hazmat 27.50. That works out to $10.62 per item. There is no LGS that sells powder for $10 more than PVI, especially after factoring in tax. Bullets you can still get cheaper...

    Cost v. Benefit of Reloading .308

    +1 on everything Tx said. That assessment was right on the money. To give you an idea of my current cost here is my breakdown: Brass - .02 per firing (0.1 per piece 5 firings) Powder - 0.11 per firing (8 lb kegs bought in bulk to reduce hazmat and shipping) Bullet - .23 (175 Nosler factory...

    POF Gen 3 or Gen 4?

    If you buy into all the POF love around the hide (and their own marketing literature) the gen 3 was a reliable and accurate firearm. In that case, what does the gen 4 add? It was a reliable gun before, why does it need the E^2 chamber?

    Do you need match 175 BTHP's

    They were marked down to $99.99 when the OP made his post, so it was actually $35 more.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns HK p-30 for wife?

    That story sounds familiar... I will add not to judge the VP9 by the P-30. They are ergonomically similar, but they don't shoot anywhere near the same.

    2 OCW. 2 Rifles. 1 Load?

    Yes it is common to find a load that works in multile rifles. I haven't found a rifle yet that won't shoot 42.5gr of Varget under a 168 Nosler. I agree that 41.8-42.0 is promising. Both charge weights have the same POI and accuracy is good. The node seems extremely narrow though. Part of an ocw...

    Well so I guess they really are bad.

    Thanks for the update. Your post has a ton of great information on the xmark trigger.

    Pistol reloading from glock. How do I do it?

    I have been doing all my pistol loading on a Lee die set. It was cheap and the truth is I haven't had a reason a switch. Also a big +1 on the polymer coated bullets like Bayou bullets. For all intents and purposes a coated bullet is just a lead bullet that wont lead your barrel. Source them...

    New To reloading - .223/.308 Match Grade Reloading Setup Help

    Accuracy is largely going to be a function of your components. Don't expect 1/2 MOA accuracy from scrounged range brass and pulled 147gr FMJ bullets. In terms of equipment here are a few buy once cry once items that will improve accuracy: Bench source annealer (or some annealer) Redding type-s...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I think you missed the point of the post. If you automate the process then WHERE IS THE $200 GOING TO!? Don't even suggest something stupid like using it for something else.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Clearly you don't understand the purpose of any of the systems that are in place. This rather famous quote should explain: “The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.” I imagine the conversation went something like this: "Sir - why do we need to...

    Suppressors torn between TB 30p-1 and 30ps

    Zak, would the 30P-1 or CB be considered hearing safe on .308 bolt gun?
