    Annealing questions

    I'm pretty confident that annealed brass is much more consistent after sizing. Un-annealed brass comes out of my die with a lot more variation in length than annealed brass. I anneal after the first firing, and then every third firing after that.

    How many people charge it seat it and SHOOT it!!

    I've found that when using handloads for my AR15, LC brass & 62 gr steel core or 62 gr FBHP, there's a 3 grain spread where there's no noticeable difference in group size, I got a nice 1" - 1.5" group. I quit using the Chargemaster for exact weights, got out the powder thrower with the...

    texas couple kills 7yo

    So he didn't check the date stamp on the story, that doesn't make him a troll, just absentminded. As if no one else here has ever made a mistake or misread something. This stuff is still happening today. Shmucks with no self control, or kids who think holding their gun sideways is cool...

    Thoughts on the S&W MP10 (.308) or the MP15(.300 whisper)

    The local shop had an MP10 on sale for $1100. It had a very thin barrel, and I had to wonder... was it a deal, or just 'you get what you pay for'?

    Which RCBS Competition Seating die for 6.5 Creedmoor?

    Well, I suppose I'll just have to go Redding for the seating die as well as the sizing die.

    The circle with an X or + in it means its NATO spec ammunition.

    Redding FL/NK sizing die jumping all over the place! Help please

    I've noticed that as well. I annealed a batch of range pickup brass, and it came out sized very close, while a bunch of LC brass that I had only washed and lubed came out uneven sizes. Making sure the necks are lubed inside is a pain when you're doing hundreds of cases, could I just get around...

    Which RCBS Competition Seating die for 6.5 Creedmoor?

    I like the RCBS competition seating dies with the window in it, but they don't mark one specifically for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge. Does anyone know which one is appropriate?

    Redding FL/NK sizing die jumping all over the place! Help please

    I have this problem with my RCBS dies and .223 brass. Brass comes out over/under the ideal length. I've been wondering what the cause is.

    Has anyone made a Mega upper into a side charger?

    I haven't seen one available for sale yet.

    Has anyone made a Mega upper into a side charger?

    That Gun Fighter handle wouldn't work, I have the SAPR set up to where it's just a bit too low for the charging handle to clear underneath it. It's a good idea though, I'd like to try it out. I have the Mega charging handle with a Badger Tactical Latch right now. The Badger is fine an on...

    Has anyone made a Mega upper into a side charger?

    I have a Mega Arms MKM, and I've finally got it to shoot properly. Previously, the bolt wasn't cycling, and I had to work the charging handle after every shot, which was a pain, especially since I had a Battleline SAPR and had to keep flipping the cheekpiece out of the way. Anyway, before I...

    MP5-SD .22LR thoughts? Accessories?

    $100 for a clamp on rail seems excessive, I've found ones on Amazon for $9. I'll try that route before I shell out that much. The UTG tri rail specifically says it doesn't work on the SD model, btw: "Does NOT fit the GSG-5 Or MP5 SD .22 Models." I had the chance to hold a GSG model at...

    MP5-SD .22LR thoughts? Accessories?

    I'm looking at buying an MP5 SD .22LR. I've seen some pretty good reviews about the Walther model imported by Umarex, and I'm leaning towards getting one of those. What are my options to put a picatinny rail on this thing? Also, is there a specific tri-rail forearm that will work with the...

    Mega MATEN cycling issues

    Yep, the combination of running it really wet and a little loc-tite on the screw seemed to fix the issue. I suppose gas leakage might not have been the main, or any issue, but I figured why not eliminate it anyway? It seems to be running OK now. Glenn, I have two issues with your gas-block, one...

    Mega MATEN cycling issues

    Well, I loc-tited the adjustment screw on the gas block, in case I was getting a leak there, and then got the BCG wet. I mean sloppy wet, like it just got a blowjob from a drinky-girl in an Okinawa bar. Then I put 20 rounds of M80 ball ammo through it, and it ran like a champ. Fed every round...

    Nothing yet, getting packed up tonight and heading to the range in the morning, because it's Furlough Friday!

    Canon EOS 60D for dummies (I'm the dummy)

    I talked to B&H for a bit, what I got from the conversation is the 18-55 is a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. It'll do macro and static shots just fine, given good lighting. He said the 50 f/1.8 gives much crisper pictures, but won't do up close stuff very well. I'm leaning toward the...

    Canon EOS 60D for dummies (I'm the dummy)

    Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Autofocus Lens 2514A002 B&H Photo Video I think this is the 50 1.8 you were referring to? So the f/1.8 should give me brighter images?
