    Double cannelure bullet

    I "inherited" these bullets. 75 grain, double cannelure bullets. I'm not familiar with this - how does one go about reloading in terms of seating depth? What's the purpose of this anywawy??

    E-form question

    Probably a stupid question, but how do I go about filing an e-form to SBR an AR? Is this an online thing that I can access?

    Eotech issue

    I recently purchased a new Eotech EXPS 3. I put it on my SBR'd 556. After about 50 rounds I have had issues where the red dot spontaneously shuts off. I changed the battery, but i doubt that is the problem, since the Eotech powers up fairly quickly when I hit the on button. The bright/dimming...

    Choice of dies in a 550b

    I have been reloading for several years - most 9mm on my Dillon 550b. Recently, I started reloading 223 as well. Do any of you use different brand dies for each station? I don't like the dillon seater die and use a Lee for that station. Just curious if you all found a specific die you like...

    Dillon 550 overthrowing powder

    I have been using my Dillon 550b for a couple of years for 9mm and 223 without any problems. Today, I noticed that every 5th round my Dillon went bonkers and threw enough powder to overflow the case (Using Varget for 223). No problems earlier this morning. I am in the process of emptying and...

    Valkyrie Bolt Action

    For those of you who shoot the 224 Valkyrie in bolt, what twist rate performs the best and which gun maker do you like the most? I have always wanted to shoot the (very) expensive MPA Valkyrie, but I'm not sure if it is worth the moolah.

    Probably an idiot question - but what is the advantage of a shortened barrel that is then P&W'd to make it legal length??

    What lower parts to use in a new build

    Does it make a difference what parts kit one uses when assembling a lower? I have used CMMG and Colt - no problems whatsoever. Just wondering if there is a preference amongst you more seasoned builders.

    Ruger vs Kidd receiver

    I have various 10/22 and Kidd parts occupying space on my work bench - so I am looking to assemble another 22 for the grandkids. Is there an appreciable difference between a Kidd receiver and the standard Ruger 10/22 receiver?? From what I can see, if there is any difference it is minimal

    Ideal AR upper

    In 1858 the venerable Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote a poem entitled the "One Wonderful Hoss Shay". Basically it was about a deacon who built a shay out of top notch materials as he was tired of having his current carriages fall apart a piece at a time. In the long run, the shay he built...

    Shortest AR barrel for successful suppression

    What would be the shortest barrel that one can use as a reliable suppressor host in 5.56. 10+?? 11+?? 14.5"?? I have read about blowback in the shortest barrels and am not anxious to play that game - but I have no experience with SBR'd ARs...

    22LR optics

    For shooting 100 yards and less has anyone used a red dot plus a magnifier as your primary optic? I recently mounted and Eotech on a new 22 and was surprised at how easy it was to sight in and to shoot. However, it became apparent that some magnification was necessary at 100 yards for my 70...

    Older eyes

    For those of you over 60 who don't have perfect vision - how does your current visual status effect your choice of scopes? Do you prefer certain types of scopes/magnifications/FOV? Have you gravitated to certain scope makers because you feel their scopes meet your needs the best? I am 71 and...

    VANTAGE IR 3-9x40

    Has anyone used this scope on your 22? I am getting a Tippmann elite which is fairly accurate, but not a competition level gun. So I don't need a super powered optic. I have watched some YouTube videos with shooters using the Hawke scope ( and they are highly complimentary of same) - but I...

    Tippmann Arms

    Anyone have any experience with the Tippmann M4-22 Micro Elite .22LR AR pistol? From what I can pick up from some investigation these appear to be fun little plinkers that are reliable and aren't picky about ammo.

    Custom Dies

    Does anyone use custom dies? Are they worth it? I want to squeeze all the performance out of my hand loads possible, but I am far from a precision shooter compared to many. It looks like, cost aside, that a custom die may make loading ammunition a little more fool proof all other things being...
