    GunsAmerica supports TR law suit against the Hide

    I've been a member of GA for sometime now but this mornings GA Blog was all I needed to make me cancel my Account (It's not like I ever bought anything there anyway) but before leaving I wrote a comment expressing my displeasure with him turning a Internet Gun Store into a Liberal like whining...

    Trying to get my head around O-Give

    Thanks to all, I shoot Long Range steel and have for over 20 years and always work up my own loads. When I first heard of this I thought it was a bunch of bull but you don't know unless you ask. There are even companies selling jigs to accomplish this with little effort. As for Range Time I...

    Trying to get my head around O-Give

    I do understand what it is and have for many years but now I know more than I ever wanted thanks to an OCD friend of mine and after researching it for the last few weeks but what I don't understand is the advantage of trimming my bullet tips to a uniform length from the O-Give to the tip of the...

    where do you purchase your 1F lake city 5.56 brass? PM me plz!

    I spoke to my supplier for reloading equipment he also sells a ton of Lake City Brass in once fired, bullet pulled primed brass and LC reloads. Now the bad news, .223/5.56 has become the most popular caliber in the US and he said he is currently on a 2 or 3 month waiting list for 5.56. Brass...

    Ramshot Powder for .308 Winchester

    Greg, Do you have any reloading data for the TAC and the Hunter? The guy also had a 8lb bottle of the Hunter so I bought it too. I went to the Western Ramshot site and downloaded all of their tables but there are no loads listed for Speer .308 168gr BTHP or anything even close to that bullet...

    Ramshot Powder for .308 Winchester

    Yea, I've been giving it some thought this morning and given the present state of things I would be a fool to let it get away, if nothing else I could always resell it or store it for even harder times. Some people here say good things about it but then some say bad things too, I guess that's...

    Ramshot Powder for .308 Winchester

    Howdy Folks, I am new to the Hide but have been reloading since 1976, back when you could get any brand of components with relative ease. Unfortunately the good times are over well at least for the present. So on to the point of my post. Powder or I should say suitable powder and primers have...

    Reloading Start up

    Good Idea, he has all the time in the world because he's using my stuff more than I do. I could probably sell off some of the dies I no longer reload and pay for a kit for him. Back in the day if I bought a new rifle or pistol I would buy the dies as well, mostly in carbide. I have dies for...

    Reloading Start up

    My Son in Law to be has taken an interest in reloading and since most of my equipment was purchased in the 1970s I'm not much help when it comes to where to buy or rather who has the best deals. I looked at the kits (RCBS my favorite) on Midway and CTD but Damn, I don't remember it costing...

    Where did all the LR Primers go?

    Sorry I forgot all about this thread. Good news is I found 5k of CCIs bad news is I paid $35 @ 1000 but at least I have a few to tide me over and when a deal comes along I'll buy as many as I can afford. 40 years of shooting and reloading and I would have never thought things would ever be like...

    Where did all the LR Primers go?

    I must live in the wrong state. None of the Cabellas or Big Box stores in my area have any and gunbot came up empty as well. We have 6 or 7 local Gun Stores and they are all out as well. I guess I'll just keep looking and buy everything in sight when I find them. Just how hard is it to make...

    Where did all the LR Primers go?

    I was checking my reloading supplies today and I'm down to my last 1000 primers so I go to all the usual places and everyone is out. OMG! I want to work up some new loads but I also don't want to run out of primers, so what's the deal? I used to get 10,000 CCIs at a time so it's been a while...

    Clamp on muzzle brakes?

    Let me dig through my links and I'll post it but it's a 5/8-24 thread on one end of a .300 shaft that goes into the bore, this allows the threaded end to guide the die concentric to the bore as you thread the outside of the barrel, (very important) stand by... This is the one I use on AK-47s...
