Saw these bullets over at The American Marksman and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. I *think* the accuracy should be fairly good since the bullet is solid copper and the bases will be very consistent. Has anyone given these a try yet and can report on how well they shoot...

In my opinion there are two striker-fired polymer pistols which are head and shoulders above all the others - the VP9 and PPQ. For a $50-$100 price premium over a Gen4 Glock 19 I can't see why I would purchase the Glock. I have all three sitting in front of me on the desk, here's what I see that...

Muzzle is .750 I believe, so the JP large profile at .750 OD would be a good fit. I had an extra .875 one laying around and it was excellent on the SSG. The .750 would be a better fit. JP Rifles

Going to have to disagree with this. Last summer I picked up 4 8lb kegs of powder from Powder Valley. Shipping was 15 and hazmat 27.50. That works out to $10.62 per item. There is no LGS that sells powder for $10 more than PVI, especially after factoring in tax. Bullets you can still get cheaper...

+1 on everything Tx said. That assessment was right on the money. To give you an idea of my current cost here is my breakdown: Brass - .02 per firing (0.1 per piece 5 firings) Powder - 0.11 per firing (8 lb kegs bought in bulk to reduce hazmat and shipping) Bullet - .23 (175 Nosler factory...

If you buy into all the POF love around the hide (and their own marketing literature) the gen 3 was a reliable and accurate firearm. In that case, what does the gen 4 add? It was a reliable gun before, why does it need the E^2 chamber?

They were marked down to $99.99 when the OP made his post, so it was actually $35 more.

That story sounds familiar... I will add not to judge the VP9 by the P-30. They are ergonomically similar, but they don't shoot anywhere near the same.

Yes it is common to find a load that works in multile rifles. I haven't found a rifle yet that won't shoot 42.5gr of Varget under a 168 Nosler. I agree that 41.8-42.0 is promising. Both charge weights have the same POI and accuracy is good. The node seems extremely narrow though. Part of an ocw...

Thanks for the update. Your post has a ton of great information on the xmark trigger.

I have been doing all my pistol loading on a Lee die set. It was cheap and the truth is I haven't had a reason a switch. Also a big +1 on the polymer coated bullets like Bayou bullets. For all intents and purposes a coated bullet is just a lead bullet that wont lead your barrel. Source them...

Accuracy is largely going to be a function of your components. Don't expect 1/2 MOA accuracy from scrounged range brass and pulled 147gr FMJ bullets. In terms of equipment here are a few buy once cry once items that will improve accuracy: Bench source annealer (or some annealer) Redding type-s...

I think you missed the point of the post. If you automate the process then WHERE IS THE $200 GOING TO!? Don't even suggest something stupid like using it for something else.

Clearly you don't understand the purpose of any of the systems that are in place. This rather famous quote should explain: “The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.” I imagine the conversation went something like this: "Sir - why do we need to...

Zak, would the 30P-1 or CB be considered hearing safe on .308 bolt gun?

Same experiences here. Loaded a couple thousand and shot through my 9mm Glock with no issues whatsoever.

I really don't understand the discussion here. That rifle isn't safe and has no business being used in any fashion whatsoever. Either get the trigger fixed or put that rifle away until it is. The facts are: 1. You have a rifle that discharges unintentionally 2. You cannot intentionally repeat...

Interesting idea, but I wouldn't be able to get a solid cheekweld using a carbine stock on that rifle. The rail is already way taller than a standard AR and then add in that the objective bell of your optic has to clear the rail as well and you are looking at a rifle you can fire from the hip...
