    I joined the reloading club! Check out my set up.

    Sorry I didn't catch that was 9mm. Carbide dies are flared at the mouth, so they won't remove that bulge. Ever. You have 2 choices (that I know of) with 9mm, find an old non-carbide die that is straight walled (the old RCBS is one), or you can order an undersized die from Evolution Gun Works-but...

    I joined the reloading club! Check out my set up.

    I have a setup in the garage and live in humid Florida. I built a shelf above the washing machine and placed a 75 pint dehumidifier with the drain line going into the washer drain. The humidity measures around 40% and temps from 70-85 degrees this summer with this setup, and I have absolutely no...

    HELP ME DECIDE LMT 260 or 6.5 barrel

    According to LMT they have an angled gas port and aftermarket gas blocks will not fit. I have not attempted to try myself yet but just an FYI.

    new varget metering

    I would not be surprised if stuff sitting in the back of peoples closets are making their way to the marketplace. With the current conditions I have seen some weird shit show up at gun stores lately, I recently picked up a bunch of Sears Robuck 22LR ammo at a local shop. Haven't seen that in...

    Stainless steel pins stuck in .260 Rem cases

    I missed 2 pins that decided to DP one of my flash holes and that was the end of my decapping rod assembly on my Redding die. It bent the pin in half and also bent the entire rod making the expander quite out of center. I always did my flashlight inspection before priming, and before loading. I...

    Is it just me, or is this not a smoking hot deal on a RCBS chargemaster?

    Natchez's has had it priced there for quite a while maybe since 2012, I have ordered 2 from them for that. I am glad others are dropping the price.

    Federal Brass Sucks

    I have noticed quite a difference in the Federal brass from FGMM that is sold as ".308", and the FC brass sold as "7.62x51". The former is shiny and pretty brass, and the latter looks just like my LC brass with annealing marks still on them. I have only reloaded the 7.62 stuff and so far so...

    primers and powder pessimism

    I totally understand this outlook, but I respectfully disagree with the bubble burst theory in total. I am but 1 person in a small little corner of the country and I am surrounded by dozens of new reloaders I know personally, and a hundred or more new gun owners and enthusiasts also known...

    Need a good pack

    I have a couple of MR packs, recently purchased the new Metcalf pack and all I can say is "wow". Under 7 pounds with daypack lid with the nice frame makes this the lightest MR NF option so far. I have only been able to load this up and run a couple test day-hikes, but will be taking it on a...

    Geissele triggers

    If the fcg pins are ruled out, could be an issue with the disconnector, or possibly an issue with the hammer itself. The best solution is to contact Geissele directly and they will most likely have you send it in and straighten the issue out. All we will do here is random guesswork-much like the...

    Join me on my EPIC AR accuracy journey! From reloading to bullet hole @600yards! WITH PICS

    Just an FYI in case anyone else wants them, the knobs are a great upgrade and you don't need any washers with them. McFeelys is one place that carries them: 1/4-20 Female, Fluted Anti Vibration Knob, Jig Knobs & Supplies, Jigs & Fixtures, Tools - McFeely's

    Just got my first Thumler's Tumbler and SS media from STM

    I have to give my thumbler a little push every once in a while to get it started, I would not trust it unattended as it could overheat and perhaps burn up the motor or worse.

    LaRue now making their own barrels

    Are these rifles rare? I got to play with one about a year ago, seemed like decent enough kit. I was not impressed with the $60 stock on a $3k rifle tho, so I had already pigeonholed them into my "ho-hum" rifle category. It shot decent enough, but lined up with a DPMS REPR, LMT, and a SASS...

    best way to display firearms.

    Greg, I must say I agree with what you say here 110%. I also have no choice but to agree with many points brought up above on the "responsible" thing to do. That said, I sure do miss the days when we were fucking IRRESPONSIBLE! Back when a loaded shotgun was hanging in the back window of a...

    Best long sleeve hot weather shirts

    So far, so good with about 10-15 washings each so far. I do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets on any of my SPF shirts tho as it seems to make them breathe less, dry slower and weigh more.

    Why a bolt gun?

    Everything stated above PLUS alot less weight with a bolt.

    Best long sleeve hot weather shirts

    The new omni-freeze line from columbia is working real good so far. I work in the sun-NO SHADE most of the week and we have near 100% humidity with temps in the upper 90s, not much worse conditions to test in. Color selection is not very "tactical" but so far these are the coolest shirts I have...

    Interesting Customer Service from RCBS

    I lost all the parts for one of my tricklers, tried to order the parts and for the third time in a row they just sent them to me for free just this week. Don't take this as "calling you out", but if they asked you to send it in I think you are bitching a bit premature. If past experience is...
