    9mm Power Pistol

    ....I would suggest you visit the Hodgdon web site and run the query for the bullet eights you might use and select ALL powder brands, ALL powders to generate a listing of recommendations that have been tested by Hodgdon. The key factors you want to look at are the Grains (case fill) and the...

    Quality AR10 .308 Magazines

    ...going back to the OP and intent of "SHTF", looking for/recommending mags with greater than the 2.800" spec is meaningless....in a SHTF scenario, pre-SHTF stockpiling would most likely be commercially available ammo that was loaded to 2.800" or less, depending on the bullet. During an actual...

    Lowers: Armalite vs DPMS ( Which Companies Lowers are compatible with other companies Uppers)

    ...the "DPMS compatible" market/after market" space is much larger than the Armalite AR10 space, something to consider. ...OP, because you have a specific brand/model you desire, I'd recommend you just get it as any attempt to "clone" it with a mashup of various manufacturers parts likely will...

    9mm Power Pistol

    ....the HAP bullets are relatively cheap when you buy the 500 qty boxes. Another good thing is if you decide to use the Hornady Defense line of factory ammo with the XTP bullets, your training with the HAP's (assuming you match the FPS) will give you the same relative feel, recoil and POA/POI...

    9mm Power Pistol

    ...FWIW, with 5.9gn of PowerPistol I get an average of 1134fps with 115gn Hdy HAP bullet out of my FN9C (3.6" barrel). With 5.1gn I get an average of 1002fps with the 125gn Hdy HAP. These loads pretty much match factory FPS for same bullet weights and neither charge weight is MAX possible per...

    Proper Barrell Maintenance & Cleaning

    ....your procedure is fine, especially as a "new" shooter. You sound like the average consumer that is looking to preserve the life of their rifle, not a competitor that plans to shoot large quantities of rounds with a corresponding replacement of multiple barrels. There are those that...

    Noveske SBR Barrel Lengths - 300 BLK & 5.56

    ...all other responses aside, if you plan to add Noveske branded parts/assemblies to your existing Noveske Gen3 platform, I would suggest that the offerings Noveske provides have been thoroughly tested and optimized for their platforms and can provide a higher probability of compatibility and...

    Noveske SBR Barrel Lengths - 300 BLK & 5.56

    ....max "range" isn't the same as "max effective range". The aspect you should consider is what the energy number at specific range is for a caliber out of a particular barrel length....higher energy numbers induce more effective results on game or other fleshy threats. ...you can use a...

    Noveske SBR Barrel Lengths - 300 BLK & 5.56

    ....to be honest, IMHO having a 8-10" 300BLK and a 16-18" 223/556 upper in your backpack is a more practical combination. If you are confronted with an environment where "close" distances are dominant, the short 300BLK is lighter, handier and the caliber very effective. Once out of the...

    Noveske SBR Barrel Lengths - 300 BLK & 5.56

    ....IMHO, the 8" BLK and 12.5" are redundant (and unnecessary) since you already have a 12.5" 556, in a "peaceful" environment. If you had to "grab & go" it would probably be much simpler (& lighter) if you had the 8" BLK and a 556 in a more suitable length to cover possible engagement range...

    5.56 AR Only Loads

    ...I had the same question, but haven't found any published data in reloading manuals or manufacturers web sites. On most burn rate charts it's shown as slightly slower/comparable to CFE 223, so it could be viable. As always, start low and work up. My only concern is how "dirty" LVR has shown...

    .....and most manufacturers of "off-the-shelf" high production level rifles will chamber them with a chamber/throat geometry that allows the most commonly available commercial ammo, typically ammo using tangent ogive bullets.

    ...measure a fired case from that rifle then adjust your die to bump it back the desired amount. You can check it by manually chambering the empty, sized case. Slip it under the extractor and guide it into the chamber then push on the back of the BCG to see if it will close and lock. The...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    ....came across a post on another forum about a person relating how his gas tube (rifle +1, IIRC) became clogged up after ~1000 rds fired, a combo of Hornady factory & Lever handloads. He replaced the gas tube to get it functioning again. The individual competes in PRS type events, hence his...
