    Is lubing the neck really required?

    I think guys that wet tumble (like me) see more positive results with neck lube than guy that dry tumble.

    It says on PSA’s website that the 77 OTM bullet is made by Hornady….

    American Ammunition Company 77gr SMK HPBT

    I think their 77 OTM bullet is Made by Hornady. It might be their 77 SMK clone bullet that can only be bought as a component at Midsouth.

    American Ammunition Company 77gr SMK HPBT

    They need to offer the 77 OTM in the blue ammo can specials! That’s some kick ass ammo for the price!

    Opinions on VV N540 powder for 223/5.56 hand loads?

    In my quest to find a good alternative to XBR-8208 (because it's never available) for my 77 TMK loads, I got 1 lb of N540 to try out. Do any of you guys have experience with this powder using heavier bullets in 223/5.56 loads? I have used several other popular powders in my search for an XBR...

    Gunpowder allergy?

    I looked at the SDS sheets on AR Comp, H4350 and TAC and there was a chemical on the AR Comp that was a couple of ingredients in it the others don’t have, one having a very high skin irritant rating. I’ve been shooting H4350 for over a year and TAC for over 10 years…

    Gunpowder allergy?

    Two dogs, but they stay in our fenced in back yard and there is no poison ivy in the yard, I’ve checked three times.

    Gunpowder allergy?

    When I get healed up, I’m going to do some self allergy tests in a few non critical area on my body to see what’s what. Maybe crush up a few powders and lightly dab some small areas on my leg with the crushed powder on the end of a Q-tip. The whole situation is depressing. AR Comp is a...

    Gunpowder allergy?

    Any of you guys have allergic reactions to gunpowder or other reloading/shooting stuff? (not talking about high prices!) I ask because I think I’m very allergic to AR-Comp powder/residue. Last three trips to the range (only trips I’ve ever used/shot AR-Comp loads), I had major blistering and...

    Happy MOEthers Day—Magpul MOE PR stock

    While that’s a great stock (I have two of them), the CTR with Arisaka mods is arguably better in every way.

    My bad… I thought you did 10 shot groups of 4 separate powder charges.

    Ladder #3 has the best chance of being a good load.

    Help, my 5.56 reloads suck

    OP…. While the Armscor bullets may give crap groups at 100 yards off of a bench, they should be fine for training/drills with a red dot. Not every load needs to be near 1 MOA, it all depends on the use. In that same line of thought, I’d advise against someone doing red dot/carbine CQB training...

    Help, my 5.56 reloads suck

    The 55 Vmax + 25.0 gr of TAC and wolf SRP's are one of my best loads. Crazy accurate.

    Help, my 5.56 reloads suck

    I'd recommend trying the Hornady 55 Spire Point Boat Tail (SPBT) bullet with cannelure, P/N 2266. It's basically the same price as their 55 FMJ, but is significantly more accurate and more useful. My standard load (mixed brass) using TAC is 26.2 grains, COL = 2.185"-ish (case mouth is about 1/3...
