Re: Resizing for AR Not recommended. Spend the money and buy an RCBS Precision Micrometer. Bump the shoulder at least .003" (most recommend .005") and seat the pimers at least .003" below flush. You should be reloading with a good FL die and might have to use a small base die depending on...

Re: an observation on ANNEALING On .308, I hold them at the tip of the inner jet for ~8 seconds. The question concerning how many loadings is a crap shoot. I cannot give an estimate, only advice to keep close watch over them and cull them when one cracks. If you made it to 5 loadings, then...

Re: Whale Wars looses a boat Can't support the Japanese concerning whaling, I see no other point than profit. But have no sorrow for the Sea Shepard's either. Come on, you harass a vessel and antagonize the crew in international waters and then "park" your carbon fiber speed boat in front of...

Re: an observation on ANNEALING If you over anneal (too much heat) you burn the zinc out of it. This in turn makes the brass brittle and will result in cracked necks. For a duration of 15 seconds you must be using a low temperature. At what temperature was the brass annealed at? If you over...

Re: rem.700 .308 recoil Well, when the weather gets warmer let us try to get together and shoot at APG (I assume that's where you shoot). No need to fight the cold while focusing on form.

Re: rem.700 .308 recoil Then go naked, sans brake. The best way to control the recoil of the rifle and help with muzzle rise is proper form. Probably not what you were wanting to hear, but no piece of gear will correct improper form. Assuming that your form is down pat then the decision is...

Re: rem.700 .308 recoil A suppressor would solve both felt recoil and blast... but costs more than a simple brake. Adding weight ill help with felt recoil, but then the rifle starts to become heavy and awkward in positional shooting.

Re: Powder for 5.56 Another vote for Ramshot TAC. Works very well in my AR.

Re: problems with 223/5.56 reloads Check shoulder bump and inspect for shoulder/body junction swell (set back in an AR should be .003-.005 inches). <span style="font-weight: bold">Remove lubricants from sized cases</span>. Trim cases to minimum. Inspect the cartridge OAL off the bullet ogive...

Re: 1911 pistol question A good checkering job can be done for $150-250. If it's grip, buy some skateboard tape and press on.

Re: Les Bear,Wilson,Ed brown,etc Try Fusion Arms. All Tier 1 parts and he knows his way around a 1911. There are "standard" models, but anything that you want done to it to make it special he'll do within reason. Fusion Firearms

Re: Spike's Tactical Dedicated .22lr upper I run an M4 variant of the ST-22 with BDM mags. Money WELL spent IMO. I run Federal bulk box .22 and have had only one round not go boom. Accuracy is very good, ragged holes at 25 and under are quite possible. Past out to 100 yards 2" plates are...

Re: Falcon Optics 5.5-25x56 Menace Review Perhaps "value" wasn't the best of terms. What I was checking was that at 20x the image read the same Mil reading at twice the power of 10x. The way that I checked it was with a barricade and a yard stick. I used the barricade (72") in reference to...

Re: Falcon Optics 5.5-25x56 Menace Review TresMon, Thank you for the complements. Concerning the setting and FFP, that's the whole point. How do you know if the FFP actually tracks properly unless you test it. In other words, at 20x it should be exactly twice the value at 10x... right...
