    Have you checked with a Sheridan gauge AFTER the projectile is in? Since they are made originally as 8.6, they should be OK without neck turning...

    Maggie’s The Retired Guy Thread

    Medicare Part D helps a lot. It's about $225 per month for each of us, but my wife's car was totaled and she had a 3 hour brain bleed operation. We never received a bill for medical expenses. We paid everything off before retirement, so SS covers us pretty nicely, even with hobbies. We both...

    Is .224 Valkyrie going to die out?

    I have a valkyrie with a bull barrel, 2 Grendels (1 rifle, 1 carbine), 1 22 Nosler. I built them all, and I like them all for what they were intended.

    Is .224 Valkyrie going to die out?

    1: It was 10 rounds leaning. The 25 yard range is the only range reasonably close, so I use what is available. 2. I was trying to help the previous poster. I reload every caliber I own except 22 and 32 rimfire. 3. Yes, I am 77, and I shoot every gun I build. All but one of my ARs are 80...

    20 practical reloading. please help a noob out

    I just tried using the seating die from the Redding Custom for 17-556 KAK on 5.56. Using the sizing die on the 5.56 cases, I was getting 50% crushed cases. Running them through the seating die, THEN the sizing die it worked 100% of the time. It leaves a little dimple on most shoulders, but...

    Is .224 Valkyrie going to die out?

    I have reloading dies, powder, projectiles, etc., for every gun I own. As much as I spent building my Valkyrie, I will be shooting it, and so will my Son.

    PISTOL BRACE

    Since I have learned my posts were of little consequence, I have taken the liberty of removing them. To all wanting to learn how to reload 8.6 BLK from 6.5 Creedmoor and buillding and using an annealer, or machining using a vertical mill, or MIG or TIG welding, perhaps armorpl8chikn can be of...

    PISTOL BRACE

    I remember I was on stage in the Senior class play when I learned of the assassinatin. Another member whispered it in my ear and I couldn't believe it. Our class motto was "Ask Not...." When everything started going liberal, I became a Conservative and left Minnesota for Texas in 1965. I...

    PISTOL BRACE

    I filed a couple of Form 1s - VZ.61 and a 5.56 pistol. Dems were smart... Jim Jordan was kicking ass and taking names with the ATF, so they hauled Trump into court and got Jim Jordan to play Whack-A-Mole. Because of that, It looks like we are running out of time.

    Any idea when Jim Jordan is going to continue on with the pistol brace problem, or is he going to be preoccupied with the Trump case?
