This outlines a step wise potential plan for eliminating AR15s, most other semi-automatic firearms and their associated “high capacity” magazines. ATF creates formal rule stating it may choose to prosecute owners of AR15 pistols equipped with arm braces because the weapons may meet a...

My personal opinion regarding the notice and proposed rule making: I doubt it is a coincidence that the notice was issued the Friday before the holidays and limited to 14 days comment period that includes the holidays. The limited 14 day period is supposedly because the ATF/DOJ consider this a...

Capitol Armory appears to have some in stock. Just placed an order with them but most other sellers appear to be out of stock. I was unable to find thread protectors for the CB brakes though.

I'm impressed with anyone obtaining 4 Dominus already. I'm still waiting for my second one but hoping to get it soon. Kind of wondering what vendor got C30001 which I'm assuming was the first one?

I have never seen it on sale. I have two RRS tripods with the anvil ballhead (a two series and a three series). I ended up buying the 2nd from Thermal Optics Plus just because I got free shipping and because they were so small time they didn't charge me out of state sales tax. I have also bought...

My approach to the issue posed in the initial post has been to pick up a couple quality lowers and then start collecting uppers in the various calibers I wanted through Craddock Precision. I'm not really looking to have a safe full of tactical guns as long as I have one or two. The first two...

I got on the que with Capitol Armory by calling them. They wanted payment up front to reserve one but they seemed to be on the forefront of orders so I committed to them in May and again in June. I had first tried Silencer Shop as I had prior experience with them but there didn't seem to be...

Capitol Armory called me Friday indicating they have the 1st of the two Dominus CBs I order thru them. Sounds like it may be a couple more weeks before they get more in to fill my 2nd order. Definitely good news that these are starting to show up at dealers now.

I'm using Berger 215s in my 300 WM. I started 0.010 to 0.040" off the lands with only slightly better than 1 MOA groups. I was a little disappointed and decided to try 3.625" COAL (about 0.115 off the lands) so they would run in my ACIS magazines. I figured why not try it if the Applied...

I was using RL23 with my 300WM with good effect when I was running up to 190 gr VLD. Switched to heavier bullets and changed powders (RL26 & H1000). I'm using H4350 in my 30-06 with 180 grain bullets with good accuracy results. H4350 is fairly temperature stable but has been hard to come by. For...

I'm using Norma brass, H1000 & RL26 with Berger 215s. I'm not running excessively hot loads (2840 fps) because as I increase charge weights my SD/ES seems to climb even though I'm still not showing pressure signs. I have not experience problems with brass life and have 6-8 reloads on a couple...

I'm using F215M for H1000 and Berger 215s. For RL26, I found CCI 250 to give me better SD/ES using the same bullet. I used WLRM in my early reloading for the 300WM but never could get decent ES/SD with any powder/ bullet combination I tried. The worst primers I have tried were Sellor and Belliot...

I used the GemPro for a couple years with the plug in power run off a UPS. It worked well for me but was slow to steady out. After a couple of years, I thought it was drifting on me so I checked in with the manufacturer to see what it would take to fix it. Ended up sending in the battery cover...

I have a different cutter head for each diameter (0.223, .277, .30, .338 etc). For the case holders, I replaced the original lock ring with a Forster lock ring. Adjusting the case holder depth is still a little tedious but I only have to do it once because with the Forster ring the set depth is...

I used powder and primers given to me by my dad which were 30+ years old for years with no problems. Granted it was not for precision reloading but it worked fine. I will caution that the I did have a problem once when mixing old and new powder while using a volumetric based powder measure on a...
