    308Win - Why the High Velocity?

    This post didn't garner any attention in the pinned 308 Win thread that is going on 16 years old, so I thought I'd post it here: I have been doing some chrono work with my 308 and a new bullet/powder combo and seeing what seems like unusually high velocities. Wanted to get...

    What Happened to Powder Valley?

    I logged onto Powder Valley's website this morning and noticed that none of their smokeless powders are posted. Does anyone that has connections know what's going on? Hoping they've just taken their inventory off the site to update it, but that's not normally how it works.

    What brand(s) of flat 1911 triggers do you guys like? I'm thinking about putting one on an STI Trojan 5.0 I'm about to get.

    Suppressors Springfield 1911 Trophy Match

    What is a fair price for a stock used Springfield Trophy Match with no damage and all original parts (i.e. box and mags). I am looking to get one and want to be well informed. I can't seem to find many used ones online for a solid comparison. Looks like new ones are just under $1250. I have...

    Suppressors What do your ladies wear?

    I'll probably catch some flak for the title of the thread, but I'm wondering what all you/your ladies wear for concealed carry holsters. I'm going to be picking up a Taurus 85 .38sp 2"barrel revolver for my wife as a Christmas present and want some on-body carry options. She is thin and often...

    To crimp or not to crimp

    I am setting up my dillon to reload 9mm and .40SW. Prior to now, I have reloaded .44mag only on it. I have just used the 3-die sets with the bullet seating die that taper crimps. Do you recommend factory crimping on autos?

    Suppressors Smith & Wesson 4006

    I did some searches, but didn't come up with much for this particular model. Does anyone have any experience with the Smith and Wesson 4006 in .40SW? I'm mainly concerned about the overall quality of the gun as well as reliability and trigger (compared to other factory triggers). Assume that...

    Colt Woodsman Match Target Question

    Hey guys, my dad is looking to sell his 2nd Series Colt Woodsman Match Target 6" bar .22LR to invest in something a little more practical (range/carry use). I am not one to sell my guns and neither is he, but wanted to be sure to get a fair price for it. I was wondering if it is out of line to...

    Where do you get your bullets/brass?

    I'm sure this topic has been visited MANY times, but I haven't checked these forums in a while. I searched, but didn't find anything. Where are you all getting your bullets/brass these days. It seems like everyone is out of everything. I used to use midway for everything, but it seems that...
