    Geissele Super Precision mount has no serial numbers on the rings?

    I usually buy ADM mounts for my ARS for the QD but figured I would try one of the G$ mounts to see if I liked it. I purchased from OpticsPlanet and just finished installing it. One thing I noticed was in the instructions it mentions the serial numbers on the top rings should match the base and...

    Issues with Lantec Ebcg not going fully into battery. Suggestions?

    Hey People’s, So I purchased one of the more expensive Lantec EBCG TiN coated ones, their most expensive ar15 bcg during one of their crazy 50% of sales. It feels and looks great but it just doesn’t function very well in most of my rifles. If the rifle and bcg are spotless and oiled up good...

    Looking for 44 mag projectile recommendations. Target / fun

    Hey guys. I am looking for some interesting bullets to load for my 6.5" 629 classic. I've never reloaded 44 mag but given I don't shoot it a ton I thought it would be nice to pickup some random style bullets to try and load up some small quantities. I actually know very little about 44 mag in...

    The darn dillon 9mm sizing die hour-glass shape

    Hey there, So I have been loading 9mm for years using a loadmaster and lee dies and have made thousands of rounds that always came out great and looked great. This past year I have been using a dillon progressive and decided to buy the dillon 9mm dies for the heck of it. I was confused after...

    Question on giraud tri-way trimmer concentricity

    Hello Everyone, Received my new tri-way trimmers today for 223 and 300blk and the build quality is amazing! I gave them both a whirl and noticed that both of calibers inside chamfer seem to be fairly uneven. To the point where one side has max chamfer that the tool leaves and the other side...

    .308 loading questions (dies and neck size bushing stuff) need advice

    Hi, So I am finally starting to get into loading for the .308, in the past i've stuck with easy cartridges like 223/300blk and pistols. For 308 I want much higher expectations to get the most out of my JP barreled semi auto. That said, when I went die hunting I was surprised to find out...

    Help with chrono data / advice please.

    I made a post a few weeks ago after my first time using a caldwell G2 chrono (upside down version with LED lights) and got some suggestions that I tried today. So I tried the chrono set from 9' - 16' today (originally tried it at 5' a few weeks ago) and it didn't seem to make much difference in...

    LF Advice. 300blk 225 grain ELDM using CFE BLK. Compressed load causing bullet deformation

    So I recently worked up a ladder load using CFE BLK and 225 grain ELD-M’s for my 8.3” AR 300blk. My load range was 10.5-11.5 grains of CFE BLK. When I chronographed the loads the 11.5 was the best with a very low spread and about 1050-1060 FPS. So I went to load some more today and noticed...

    Help with chrono spread data - is it my reloads or the chrono?

    Hello everyone, Long time reloader but never owned a chrono until I decided to start loading subsonics recently. I tried doing some research so I apologize if my questions are basic. Chrono used is the caldwell G2 that sits upside down and has LED lights. So, I went out today and tested some...

    Wondering if I can skip crimping 300blk, details inside

    So I just finished getting everything ready to work up some 300blk loads and realized I somehow got a bad lee factory crimp die. It just doesn’t adjust in anyway and if I manually put a complete round in it the the round just pushed all the way in until the case is inside the die almost 1/2”...

    Coated lead vs plated - Do i need to worry about leading?

    Hi all, I’m looking for more affordable 300 blk bullets to load subsonic and am not having much luck. I have always loaded plated or jacketed bullets when I reload and just never felt like I wanted raw or coated lead. Well I think it’s time to try some coated bullets that are Missouri bullets...

    Gunsmithing Loctite or grease on Rifle Length buffer tube?

    I find a lot of varying information on this subject. Buttoning up my AR10 build and ready to go break it in but I still need to torque on the rifle length buffer tube.
