    Nonsensical Headspace Measurements on 223rem cases...??

    How would full-length sizing a case increase the headspace measurement on a .223 case, and charging/seating/crimping decrease the headspace measurement?? This weekend, I started taking headspace measurements on some 223 cases in my stockpile in various states on the way to being reloaded, in...

    Leica 1600-R/2000-B/Kilo 2200MR: Angle vs. True Horizontal Range? And other questions...

    Trying to find information on exactly what the Leica 1600-R and Sig Kilo 2200MR provide in terms of angle vs. true horizontal distance to target. Does each provide both? Thank you for the help - I'm in the middle of attempting to choose a range finder that can reliably range deer at ~800m, and...

    Rifle Scopes ADM Recon Scope Mount Ring Inserts?

    Does anyone know if there are inserts that will make it possible to mount a 30mm scope inside of a 34mm ADM Recon Scope mount? I've not been able to find any information on this.

    308 Brass Prep Level

    I have a lot of 308 brass (Winchester and PMC) that I'm not going to reload, but am thinking about selling. I reload FGMM for my own precision rifle use, so I have everything for fully prepping it. My question, however, is this: would buyers of brass (specifically 308) generally prefer to do...

    AR-15: magazine-supported prone

    Question for you experts. When I'm in the prone position with my AR and the magazine is being used for support (tripod: two elbows and magazine form triangle), the bolt does not lock to the rear when the mag runs dry. Magazine used is a Magpul PMAG. What's the problem? Is this normal?

    6.5 Grendel Flash Suppressors

    Does the 6.5 Grendel cartridge fired out of a barrel of length greater than or equal to 18" benefit from the addition of a flash suppressor? Or, is there really not much flash to suppress anyway in barrels that long?

    Suppressors Sig P226 E^2 grip change

    I have a P226 E-squared in 40s&w. I want to experiment with different grips, but am not sure what modifications must be done to the pistol to enable it to use original P226 grips. I have read that changing from an original P226 grip to the E-squared grip requires changing some of the internal...

    DPMS REPR issue

    Picked one up yesterday, but have not fired it yet. Took it home to clean it and dry fire with some snap caps and noted that charging the rifle is extremely difficult. Moving the BCG to the rear with the rifle fully assembled is about all I have the strength to do using one hand. It's not...

    Suppressors Any Sig Armorers in NC?

    As per my other post from this morning about the exorbitant sum Sig charges for their in-house detailed cleaning service, it'd be nice if I could find a official Sig Armorer who operates out of NC. Anyone know of someone?

    Suppressors Sig Customer Service

    Just got off the phone with Sig's Customer service... Last night at a match, I had a light strike on a primer apparently (not sure if it was actually a light strike or if it was crappy ammo, but I was using Federal American Eagle in .40s&w, 165 gr). It's the first light strike I've had, so...

    Suppressors Sig P226 grip/brass-throwing question

    I acquired a Sig P226 E2 in .40s&w a few months ago and have put about 1000-1500 rounds through the pistol. Being the first pistol I've shot regularly or owned, I've not had any formal pistol marksmanship training - just friendly advice from more experienced shooters at matches. This past...

    Hunting & Fishing NC Coyote hunting during deer bow-season

    I went out this past Sunday on private land with a buddy who was bow hunting for deer (I don't own a bow), to watch him hunt. He did not get one, but we did see a coyote chasing a large doe about 60 yards from our stands. This got me thinking about possibly trying to coyote hunt a little bit...

    AR-15 gas tube question

    Is the AR-15 gas tube supposed to be a little loose inside the receiver where it comes through to the gas key on the BCG? I was cleaning the rifle last night and when I put some patches and a toothbrush down in the charging handle raceway towards where the gas tube comes through the front of...

    18" Stainless Fluted 1:7 AR barrel, 5.56 NATO

    I'm having a heck of a time finding a barrel that fits the above description. I was wondering if there's any particular reason that that's the case. I'm going for a setup that isn't too terribly front-heavy (without adding a counter-balance) so that it can be fired offhand, yet will be in the...

    Rifle Scopes Scope-mounting conundrum

    I purchased a Bushnell Elite 6500 4.5-30x50mm and a Leupold 1-piece picatinny rail mount to go on top of my Rem 700 5r. The Elite supposedly has 50moa of elevation/windage adjustment range, so with the 20moa rail, I was expecting to have around 45 moa of adjustment to get the projectile to near...
