    Powder for multiple pistol cartridges

    I vote Bullseye is better for pistol only. Unique is useful if you want to load rifle/shotgun/pistol with a single powder, but Bullseye is a faster burn, more appropriate for handguns, especially the small calibers with short barrels. Bullseye takes less significantly less powder than Unique...

    Rifle Scopes 1" inch ring inserts

    They're OK, but not ideal of course. The best brand to get is the same one as your rings. Some, like ARMS rings, have a lip, so that inserts can't slip outside the outer ring. But to me it sounds like you're misgauged the sizes and not understanding. It reads to me like you currently have...

    Army tattoo policy

    There’s a difference between calling someone stupid while looking down at them and knowing what quality of tool you’re working with and realizing what it is or isn’t capable of. I’m glad you and your 8 recruits were all impressive top 10% guys, and I wish that’s the kind of stock our military...

    Army tattoo policy

    Good guess. No, I scored more than a 3 on the ASVAB. It’s a good point you bring up though, it’s comforting to know that the grunts are held to the standard of having to be smarter than the bottom few percent of the American population. First off, in what narrow minded view is “ground...

    Gunsmithing FFL/Liability insurance. how much should one have??

    Barely half of what a semi-decent policy for a 4k sq ft shop in a strip mall in Phoenix AZ costs.

    Army tattoo policy

    This has nothing to do with a "peacetime military looking for trivial things". The military is moving to replace the simple labor with technology. We're cutting down and trimming the fat, the future of the US military is fewer intellectuals with complex machines doing a better job than...

    Dream muscle car

    Shelby didn't make the GTO, but that's a sharp looking GT500. My ideal muscle car is also a 1969 Mustang, but not that giant air scoop front end Shelby. The best of the best is a Mach 1, factory red/black/gold. The 1969 Mach 1 is the car the 2005 Mustang was styled after.

    Best shooting truck for me??

    By the way, did you specify; is this going to be your dedicated off-roading toy or your only truck? Whether you have to commute in it, take your better half to dinner in it, and depend on it to take you anywhere in the country at the turn of a key will probably influence your choice. A lifted...

    Best shooting truck for me??

    As for reliability, everyone's going to give you their personal experience of (Brand A never breaks, but Brand B is junk. I would know, I had one/two/four of them!) or (Brand C is the most reliable, everyone knows that.) It's a lot like listening to people with guns. Folks with absolutely no...

    Best shooting truck for me??

    What you're talking about is quantified in the off-roading community in angles. Most commonly compared and published are approach, departure, and breakover. Basically approach is the angle you can drive into without scraping, departure is the angle you can drive off of without scraping, and...

    Best shooting truck for me??

    A used F150 with one of the offroad packages. Phoenix is loaded with them, you can find one for a steal. Industry-standard for reliability, popular as hell, massive aftermarket support, will hold its value much better than less common/less-liked trucks.

    Which AR15 to get?

    Also, remember the M&P Sport isn't quite a true AR-15, like the Oracle is. The M&P Sport has no forward assist, no dust cover, and a fixed trigger guard. The DPMS equivalent is called the Sportical, and usually sells for about $40-50 less than the Oracle. The Oracle is more of typical...

    Which AR15 to get?

    Those are both excellent entry level AR15's, but way overpriced. Remember you still have to add tax to that 700. The Oracle is available elsewhere for $519 and the M&P Sport is $549. Shop around, or buy online and have them ship to a dealer close to you (add $20 for shipping and $10-30...

    Free 3D Printed Parts....SH members pick a new idea

    This is a very generous gesture, I was billed over $200 by a lousy prototyping company for them to 3d print a tiny little piece that was 0.11 cubic inches. Yes, over $200 for less than a single cubic inch of 3d printing. They took 166% longer to ship than my initial quote and charged me for...

    Beginner Wanting to try 3 gun. Please Help!

    But if you're sure and are on the shopping hunt, best advise for a new purchase is skip new. Since you have a lower and are going to build yourself, you get no warranty. Buy used parts to build a rifle that's going to get slid in the sand, banged on barriers, dropped while running, etc...

    Beginner Wanting to try 3 gun. Please Help!

    Ok, well first off I suggest you stop any forward progress and research more. Unfortunately you've already wasted money for no real benefit. Getting a billet lower by itself and then pairing it with a budget upper is mostly a waste of money. There are some benefits to billet AR-15 lower...

    Factory rifle accuracy vs. Custom rifles

    "Custom" means nothing. A "custom" Honda Civic is still a piece of shit, while a factory Chevy Corvette ZR1 is a world class sports car. A "Custom" rifle is only as good as the quality of work put into it, and if you don't understand what work makes a rifle shoot to the level you want it to...

    Semi Auto 17 HMR ... is there any options besides Volq?

    The best option here is the Marlin. No longer produced, you gotta find a used one, but way cheaper than the other options so far. I believe the model number is 717, heavy barrel, wood stock, box mag fed.

    Denver 7-11 Hostage (taker) Shot - why the torso?

    A very intriguing thread title which I entered hoping to find some intellectual argument over legal/tactical/practical reasoning's for various shot placement decisions in hostage scenarios... ..which ended up just being a bunch of retards. SH gets better every year.

    I think it's a shame the wife didn't have a weapon to shoot back with.
