    Replies to "Thank you for your service."

    This is a little disenchanting to hear from a serviceman. I have always had a strong appreciation for anybody who served and try to make a point to shake their hands and thank them. The last veteran I met was going to a 3 gun shoot and I bought $60 worth of shotgun shells for him as a thank you...

    HELP.. Subsonic 308 data . Need 180 smk data please cant find anything AAC-SD 20"

    Awesome info! I did some playing with trail boss and 175 SMKs in a 20" repr. I don't have the numbers on hand, but they were very similar to what was posted above. I'd be glad to dig my work up if you would like. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Firearms seizure

    There is a 500 foot law for hunting from any structure or roadway in CT. Plus you need 10 acres or more to hunt with a rifle. But the lesson here is that he should not have let Johnny law see his gun collection after they showed up. Either way, the cop went way over the top with charges. Sent...

    F T/R Competition How many are using prepped lc brass for 308 ftr?

    I found about a 10% case capacity difference between fgmm brass and LCLR brass. I was putting around 44 gr of varget in fgmm and I found that 41gr works best in LCLR. I never thought about playing around with the chronograph, but it sounds like an interesting project for another day. Sent...

    Favorite Power Pro 2000 MR loads for 69/77gr SMKs out of 20" AR gas gun?

    I played around briefly with pp2k and 69 SMKs and my charge weight was right about the same. My data came from the Hornady book and I never really tested them aside from basic safety checks. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Lohman Arms ? ?

    After I checked and saw Varget, 1680, and a bunch of other rarities in stock after checking for weeks at a time, I figured they were not truthful with the in stock markers. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Reloading cost

    When you look at the Hazmat fees and shipping fees, it does get a little more expensive but I consider it the cost of doing business. I use 5c primers, 32c bullets, my saved brass, and Varget (36c worth) for 308/30-06. The biggest cost is the initial investment, but you're getting a new hobby as...

    Reloading beginner

    With shouldered cartridges, you're going to need to check for cartridge length. I suggest a harbor freight micrometer and some kind of case trimmer setup. Depending on how much you'll be loading, you can go with manual or powered trimmers. Even drill attachments or standalone machines. I have a...

    "Bolt Action" AR15 Upper?

    Safety harbor makes a bolt 50 upper as well. I got a left side charging, non reciprocating upper from American spirit arms recently for a build. You could put an adjustable gas block on it and use it as a bolt or semi platform. The machining is perfect but you may have to grind down your mag...

    What to see what happens when you fire a 300 Blackout in a 5.56?

    I color code magazines as a safety measure. I've considered using other means but it still boils down to being responsible, safe, and having situational awareness when firing a weapon. Hopefully nobody got hurt, it is a pretty amazing picture! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Anybody running Noveske RSR handguards? Opinions?

    I love the nsr. I've really come to like the feel of a smooth rail with a choke grip on a vfg. I'm a minimalist as far as mounting things on my rails goes. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Hope for Connecticut

    The fight belongs in the courts, not on the streets. Although I doubt anything will come of it. I registered and I felt like I lost something when I did. I heard an unconfirmed rumor that the state police formed a special unit to go over paperwork from previously sold weapons to verify them...

    Any problems with hornady dies?

    I had the same issue with Hornady one shot. I switched to homemade lube from lanolin and isopropyl alcohol. I put it in a "misto" sprayer and it works great. You can check online for the ratio of lanolin to alcohol. You'll have to buy a case extractor if you don't get better lube. Ask me how I...
