      300 Blackout primer question

      I don't mean to hijack this thread but my question is related. I have substituted different primers from what is listed in manuals but with the understanding that it can greatly affect pressures. With that said it always is best to start at minimum charges and work up. My main question is this...

      7mm-08 load data

      There are so many different powders and bullets now it can get confusing. I picked up some AA#2495 but now I wish I got 4064 instead. Thanks for all the info and I will try to post some results if I can shoot this weekend.

      7mm-08 load data

      My son needs a practice load right now. Nothing to light, yet not a full power load. He is not new to shooting but this is his first true hunting rifle. We got it last November and it doesn't have 50 rounds thru it yet between the both of us. My goal is to have 3 loads worked up. Coyote, hogs...

      RV Home Defense - What to use?

      I would go with a frangible handgun load. Birdshot is better than nothing but will just make a flesh wound. Maybe step up to #5 or 6 shot size in 410? But unless someone is doped up birdshot would still likely persuade them to move on regardless. Also, a pistol round in FMJ will penetrate walls...

      Need some info

      Hate to hear this. This is exactly what the liberals hold against us. This is why the gun show loophole comes up all the time in debates. I don't think you should be to worried being you did right with the bill of sale. You have to remember some gun shops hate individual sales as this competes...

      7mm-08 load data

      Thanks for the input. Honestly I was hoping someone could post a pic out of the Hornady book. I need to just break down and buy one. I keep spending my money on ammo or another gun. I have the Lee(very generic) and the Lyman. Priorities priorities. This is my 10 year old sons rifle. I got these...

      De-primer malfunction

      This has happened to me as well. Try to be careful not to mar up the pin with the pliers if you have to use them. Maybe wrap a cloth around it before you grab it with the pliers. And patience. What brand die? I couldn't view your picture. I have never had this happen on pistol rounds, only rifle...

      308 load data needed

      Crimping in the cannelure dictates the OAL to be around 2.700-2.725. I typically use RL15 but recently got some AR Comp and CFE 223. I loaded a few test rounds last night and hope to try them out this weekend.

      308 load data needed

      I have some 150 gr fmj Hdy, trying to work up some loads using AR Comp. My OAL is around 2.700 when using the cannelure. Alliants website has no info using this bullet for some reason. Any help would be appreciated.

      First Time Reloading...what manual should I get

      Get the Lyman, they just released a new one. Also look for Handloader magazine, very good information in every issue. You can also contact component manufacturers for data. And be careful where you get your information from.

      Cfe 223

      I have only loaded and shot about 50 rounds using 26.5 grains behind a 55 gr sp. Accuracy was better than AR Comp I tested, so I bought 2 more pounds thinking I would be as happy as with H335. I feel now I should have just stuck with the tried and true H335, or maybe more Tac. It does meter...

      Cfe 223

      Just picked up some CFE 223 today. Hodgdons site doesn't show any data for 55gr fmj. Anyone have any data for Hndy 55gr? Also have 62gr fmj, 55gr hp, Nosler 55gr BT, and Hdy 75gr HP I want to experiment with. Also got some AR Comp. what fun.

      AR15 vise clamp Milton

      I see where Bass Pro has the upper receiver clamp kit by Wheeler. If anyone has experience with these let me know how good they work.

      AR15 vise clamp Milton

      Anyone know a place around Pensacola that sells a vise clamp for a AR15 upper? I need to break loose the barrel retaining nut.

      PT-101P (Beretta M9 style .40) - Pensacola

      I can vouch for the quality of these guns. I picked up one a few years ago on Black Friday not knowing what to expect. It has been rock solid, eats everything I give it
