I also went through the armorer's class and also think that the M&Ps are very well designed. I love how all the safties just move the trigger bar over, clever design! ETA: I work at an outdoor outfitting store, and they paid for me to go to the class :) and I get to go to the M&P rifle one...

I love that all the advice here happens to be things that I have thought of. I have a Glock 36 that I use for carry, and like it. I like the Glocks, but I just kind of want a 1911 as well. The Smith has a 1911-esque feel to it, which I like, but I also am looking for a pistol I can give my...

I am torn between a S&W M&P45 or a Ruger SR1911. Have not had a chance to fire either, but I like the feel of the smiths, but am a fan of the 1911 platform. Any insights? Either would be a range toy/competition (3 gun most likely) gun. Thanks!

I have a Savage 116 in 30-06 and love it. 168gr FailSafe's are what I shoot for elk, and this last season it did the job at 550yds (estimated). My dad likes the 300WM with 180s, but I picked the '06 for its "all-around-ability"

I have a Browning Challenger II, and 2 of my 3 mags misfeed. When it does misfeed (on one mag it is every round) it is the bolt-over-bullet. I am thinking that the springs are bad. However, I have looked around and am unable to find replacement springs for these mags. I have found Triple-K mags...

I recently picked up a Hornady LNL AP (LOVE IT) and have been looking for a new powder to use for 45. I like to load 185 Nosler JHP, and they are just for range practice. I have been loading single stage with 5.3 gr of BE and am looking for a powder that will fill over 50% of the case capacity...

I already almost exclusively reload for anything I shoot. I can't afford to shoot very much otherwise. So I really wouldn't be saving anything more than I am now other than time. I went down to Cabela's today and ordered the press, they didn't have one in stock :( Hopefully it will be here in a...

i am looking at either getting a new pistol, or possibly getting a progressive press (lnl ap). I would like to get a CZ75, or a G20. I love the ballistics of the 10mm, and my Brother-in-law has a ton of brass I can reload, but I also am in love with the cz75. I just feels good in my hand :). I...

I picked up a Vortex SPARC, which is very much like an Aimpoint. It has a 2 MOA dot, and with the regular paper targets that I use, I was able to shoot a 1.25" group at 100 yds. Like mshootnit said, it is about indexing the center of your groups at the center of the dot and putting that at the...

A side note about glass, but I recall hearing someplace that all optics grade glass is either made in japan or germany, and that there are only a couple companies that make it. What it really comes down to is how precisely the glass is ground and what sort of crazy-complicated-ultra-high-tech...

I have handled the Razor HD, one of their viper 4-12's, and one of their diamondbacks. The viper is much much clearer than a Sightron SII big sky. the diamondback was probably close to the sightron(with the edge to the sightron). the razor HD definitely does compare with the high end brands...

I had a thread a while back about shooting the 185 HBRN's in my glock 36. In the hornady reloading handbook, it mentions that 5.3 grs of Bullseye was an accurate target load. I found this also to be true with my glock and those berry's. i found that 6.5 grs of BE was also quite accurate, but...

So finally got around to doing my load development today, and found that a charge of 5-5.3 grs of Bullseye shoot well, and 6.5 grs also shoots very well (both behind the 185 HBRN). Much better that what I was getting with 6.5 grs of Unique. 6.5grs of BE was a pretty stout load (some primer...

Looks suspiciously like a Browning Challenger II that I have....

I have been hankerin' for an AR for quite a while, and took the opportunity to get a $75 stripped lower from Fulton Armory. It been hard to save up money to get a CMMG bargain bin rifle, so build piece by piece it is :) and I get exactly what I want :) Next on the list, LPK. Thinking Stag...

Hornady makes a "powder cop" die that fits into a progressive. It has a little plunger with a white o-ring on it that becomes just visible when the ram is raised all the way up. I think Lee makes a "lockout die" that will physically disable the press from continuing in the event of a no/double...

When you pick which brand shotgun shells you shoot by which powder smell you like best. And you hang on to a couple hulls and smell them every once in a while when you feel bad, and then get sad when the smell fades after a week. Ask me how I know...

I will have to add that 150 gr FailSafe's out of an 06' work very well.

-PSG-1 -CheyTac m200 in 408 CT -MG-42 -Ma-Deuce -Several full-auto lowers that would have various combinations of SBR's, suppressors, and m203's attached :evil: -AI AWSM (name says it all) -and a howitzer

Berry's- Thanks for the info! I will have to do some load development and post what I find back in here. I was just loading some plinking rounds, and even though I was not looking for ragged-hole-at-50yds accuracy, what I was getting left something to be desired. I love your bullets, and will...
