    Tell me if I'm missing anything for loading 223

    I have an LNL AP. This is the first time I will be loading rifle rounds. They will be for a precision AR. I will be tumbling in corn cob media. I will probably get a single stage press, and possibly a Thumbler Tumbler in the not-so-distant future, but my goal is to simply get started while I get...

    What dies should I buy for 223 AR?

    I will be loading for a precision AR with a Wylde chamber and 1:7.7 twist. I will load 77rg SMK BTHP bullets. This is my first precision rifle. I will be using a Hornady LNL AP to start while I get used to shooting the rifle. When I hit a plateau in precision I'll probably buy a single stage...

    AR 20" 1:7.7 Kreiger reload components

    I have a one time chance to get some components, and I need to decide quickly (prices are shipped): Bullets: 77gr smk for $243.4/1000 or Hornady 75gr bthp for $192/1000. Primers: Only Winchester or Remington small rifle primers are available. For powder the only good option right now is...

    Powder suggestions for 9mm with 3 inch barrel

    I figure you rifle guys will load some handguns too. So, I have a Kahr PM9 to feed. I switched from precision delta 124 gr bullets to montana gold 124 gr because the MG bullets are more blunt and fit in the magazine more comfortably. I have been putting the MG 124gr FMJ's over 5.4gr Unique. I...

    Varmint AR - Last few decisions - Opinions Please

    This is a varmint AR built primarily for shooting between 100-400 yards. That being said the actual usage will probably be as follows: 50% - Paper at 100yd 25% - Steel at 300-500yd (I'd like to casually play at 600-800) 15% - Rabbits at 100-400 yards 10% - Stroking and admiring Here are the...

    Rifle Scopes What scope would YOU buy

    I have almost completed a varmint AR rifle. It is the first rifle I have built for reaching out beyond 100 yards. I’m building it for bunny hunting at up to 400 yards. It will have the following components: 20” Kreiger fluted HBAR 223 Wylde barrel Magpul PRS Giessele SSA-E 3.5# trigger Troy...

    FF handguard length

    I'm looking for a FF handguard. The Rainier Arms Evolution tickles my fancy (link below). I'm going to mount a bipod and like the looks of the rail on top of the handguard (even though I'm unlikely to use it). I'm an engineer so I find the triangular cutouts particularly appealing...

    Threaded barrel vs post-ban

    I ordered a Krieger barrel today for my varmint rifle (bunnies @ ~300 yards). I still have a few days to waffle over some details. 1) Threaded or not threaded - Other than the fact that I am immature and think having a suppressor would be cool, I can't really come up with an argument either...

    Show me your varmint AR

    Show me what you have an what you love about your gun (and maybe what you would have done differently). I'm putting together a varmint AR and still need to purchase a number of components such as pistol grip, BCG (I know, terrible timing on this one), handguard, and various other bits. I know...

    Krieger barrel worth it?

    I am considering a Krieger barrel: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/637159/...stainless-steel The fact this barrel is in stock is attractive because I had hoped to have the gun ready by late spring. A few questions: 1) It says gunsmith installation required, but it has the barrel extension...

    SOTA Upper any good?

    I am assembling a varmint rifle and was offered a SOTA assembled upper receiver for $100. I have two questions: 1) Does anyone have any experience with a SOTA upper 2) Should I buy the SOTA upper or pay an extra $30 and backorder a Daniels Defense assembled upper? Any input is be appreciated.

    Varmint AR-15 barrel

    I'm putting together a long range varmint gun for rabbits at 300-400 yards. This rifle will be my first gun for reaching beyond 100 yards. Here are my priorities for the barrel in order of importance. 1) accuracy 2) price (~$500, less would be nice) 3) weight (I'm young and can move a heavy...
