    Re: Is this a proper way to develop a load? just finished reading Newberry's article on "optimal charge weight" and it brought to mind a couple of questions: 1. Newberry suggests "cleaning the barrel midway through the load develoment process" which is subjective depending on how many rounds...

    When did Eagle move to PuertoRico?

    Re: When did Eagle move to PuertoRico? I believe ATK also operates Lake City... somewhere in another post there was mention that they were attempting to buy once fired brass directly from military bases as opposed to from a centralized disposal site. The incentive for the bases to do this...

    cleaning after shooting cupro-nickel bullets

    Re: cleaning after shooting cupro-nickel bullets I try not to use a bore brush and if I do, it's a nylon one. This bore tech brand seems to be very effective in removing copper fouling without having to use a brush. I verified it by using a "foul out" after cleaning my AR with boretech and...
