    Got my AR15, now what?!

    Hey all, I just invested in my first AR15. It's pretty standard, normal handguards and all. So what should I do now in terms of parts? My first instinct was to get a red dot that will get me on the paper at the range, but now I'm looking for the fun stuff. I think I'd like to start with a new...

    WC 844 for 5.56

    I purchased quite a bit of 844 about 5 months ago to use mainly as a plinking load since I was told its H335 in a poors mans label. The information that came with this said to just use the H335 load data as well. As I said, Im mainly using this as plinking ammo for up close, inside 100yd...

    Hunting & Fishing is the 5.56 enough?

    is the 5.56 good enough to take a 150lb to 250lb russian boar down without it being a center mass hit? If so, what ammo do you prefer? Has anybody ever used any blended metal loads?? http://www.rbcd.net/2009%20NEW%20PRODUCTSa.htm My AR shoots 62-69grn very well but I'm willing to bump up to 75...

    5.56 case length with bullet problems now!

    I just trimmed 50 rounds of LC 5.56 and was thinking maybe I trimmed to much. I am loading for a 5.56 AR15 and read the Hornady manual and it says 1.750, is this right for 5.56?

    Gunsmithing .233 ammunition versus 5.56 pressure problems

    I built a couple of AR-15 uppers for some clients and when test firing each upper I could not get the bolt to latch back on the last shot. After changing gas blocks, BCGs, etc, I finally tried some 5.56 ammo and it worked fine. The ammo I was originally using was .223 PPU 69grn. Has anyone...

    Which 5.56 black rifle?

    I need to get myself something in 5.56/.223. It will primarily be a prairie dog and coyote gun. I want a black rifle, at least a 20 inch barrel, with accuracy being the primary concern. I would prefer to stay around that $2k or lower price range, but would still like to here all options. So far...

    Once fired LC Split Necks 556

    Well, I was bored and wanted to do something gun related around the house. I knew I had about 300pc of spent LC 556 brass so I thought why not tumble them. The LC brass was from reloads that I purchased with a buddy for a carbine match so we wouldn't have to burn up our 31a and 193 good stuff...
