    Suppressors Will suppressors be stamp free in the near future?!

    You may be right but I think they will be removed. In many countries where firearms are very much restricted, suppressors aren't restricted at all for lawful gun owners and in some places are even encouraged. Regulating suppressors as they are regulated is a stupid waste of manpower that...

    Powder for 300WM?

    From the Nosler Pro Shop. They have the brass occasionally.

    444 marlin load development? any info

    This is my load; the target was shot from 200 yards with an Encore handgun. If it works on kudu it should work on deer. I"ve never shot it at more than 200 yards but bullet drop will be significant. A 460 S&W Magnum shoots flatter but I found load workup in that cartridge very...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Shoulder Holster

    I have a couple of questions regarding shoulder holsters. First, for those who have used them, are they comfortable? Second, what company makes good ones for larger handguns? I'm thinking specifically for things like the Ruger Redhawk, Desert Eagle, etc. The heavier handguns can put a...

    Factory Seconds

    I shoot Nosler and Hornady seconds whenever they're available. I don't think anyone could tell the difference in looking at them nor do I think you could tell the difference on paper.

    46 grs 8208!

    This is the best 3 shot group I've ever shot. Before you get too excited, I have to tell you it was shot with a rifle I couldn't depend on to do better than 1.5 to 2 inch groups at 100 yards. It taught me the very valuable lesson of not trusting a single 3 shot group. As for IMR 8208 XBR, I...

    Measuring 100 yards accurately?

    I marked out a 400 yard range all by myself with a tape. I guess I could have gone another 200 yards.

    M1 Garand Reloading

    I would use mil spec primers if possible. I think it's uncommon but it's said that at times other primers can lead to a slam fire. That said, I've shot hundreds of rounds in an M1A and Garand using Federal 210M primers with no problem. There is also the small base die issue. Many times you...

    To FL resize new brass or not????

    Oh, my. This question seems to be recycled every few months. Do you think the brass they sell you for reloading is any different than the brass they load cartridges with? Of the 30+ cartridges I reload for, there are only 2 cartridges for which I resize new brass: 1. I had to resize 460...

    Load Help

    1. It could have caused by such things as different ambient temperature, different shooter performance, etc. 2. It's a myth that fireformed brass always shoots better than new brass or that fire formed neck sized brass always shoots better than full length sized brass. You may need to...

    Primer Question

    Use Federal AR Small Rifle Match primers.

    Primer Question

    You will find that some powder/primer combinations provide better accuracy than others. Sometimes the primer doesn't make much of a difference. You may get along just fine with CCI or Winchester primers; I use those for a number of loads. In an AR-15, it would be prudent to stick with a mil...

    .243 Bullet from Coyotes to Deer

    My 243 gets load with the Hornady 87 grain V-Max. If that hole is too big for you then don't use it. I haven't used it on deer but would should the opportunity present itself. I think it would be a very good deer killer with a lung shot.

    Gunsmithing Sig Sight Mover

    Any recommendations for a sight mover for a Sig 229? None have been available on the Sig Sauer web site for months and maybe there is something better than what they sell.

    Lee Collet Neck sizing die

    First of all I've used Lee Collet Dies since the 1990s. I've used them for a number of cartridges including 308 Winchester, 300 Weatherby Magnum, 375 H&H Magnum and probably some others. I don't think I could see actual improvement in accuracy in any of those but it wasn't worse than with...

    Lee Collet Neck sizing die

    In loading for a 7mm/08, cases I sized with a Lee Collet Die produced ammunition with significantly poorer accuracy that that assembled with new or full length sized brass.

    Question about Flyers

    What does "flyer" mean? Does it mean that a bullet went astray due to no fault of the gun or the shooter? I think the term flyer should be banned. A bullet that's away from other closely grouped ones is still part of the group for whatever reason. I also contest the saying that it's usually...
