    9mm Aero EPC-9 carbine misfeeding

    I just built a Aero EPC-9 carbine using all Aero parts, except a Faxon bolt. It feeds FMJ ammo fine, but REFUSES to feed even one round of RMR JHP handloads, loaded to 1.075" OAL. It gets hung up between the mag and chamber, on a 45 degree angle. Is anybody else having this issue? I'm wondering...

    (POLL) I like arched MSHs. Am I weird?

    First mod I do to all my 1911s is changing out the flat mainspring housing to an arched one. It just feels so much better to me, and points more naturally for me. It seems that all of them are offered new with flat ones these days. Am I am oddball, or are you guys changing them too?

    Larue hit it out of the park with their new triggers!

    I have Geissele SSAs (not SSA -E) in two of my rifles, and I can honestly say I cannot tell the difference between them and my two rifles with Larue MBT2s. If anything, the Larues are a bit lighter, 3.75#, and almost a THIRD of the price. Given Larue's reputation for quality, the feel of the...

    Why all the ultra short AR barrels?

    I've been scratching my head as to why every one is going in the direction of ultra-short AR pistol builds. I understand the whole pistol brace situation, but don't you think the short barrels are seriously handicapping the velocity and accuracy potential of the weapon? Just to make it a little...

    Does the latest Quickload include 6mm Creedmore?

    I've been using the 243 Win model up until now to search load potential, and I was wondering if the latest update includes the 6mm Creedmore cartridge. Thanks!

    Any input from Vortex Golden Eagle owners?

    After much online research, I'm about to buy a Vortex 15-60X Golden Eagle for my F-class rifle. I was looking at it, the NF 12-42X BR, and Leupold 45X comp scope. Any input, good or bad is appreciated!

    Are all "decoppering" powders the same? I think not!

    After using CFE223 in my 222 Rem this year for F-class, I'm very impressed on how copper-free it has left my bore. It does leave a black, sooty material behind, but is easily removed with a few wet patches. It shows almost no hint of blue, even after soaking with Shooter's Choice. On the other...

    List the copper reducing powders please....

    Can anybody list the powders known to possess the copper fowling reducing chemicals? I know of CFE223, TAC, IMR4166. I'd like to incorporate them into more of my reloading, if their burn speeds are appropriate for the caliber. Thanks!

    Ken Waters and the 222

    I don't own the Ken Waters "Pet Loads" book, but was wondering if someone could pass on some of his pet loads for a fast, 50grn bullet 222 rem load. Thanks!

    Are Nosler Comp bullets = SMK?

    I always see Nosler 30 cal 168 Competition bullets on sale for considerably less than Sierra's. Are they equal in regards to quality and accuracy? Thanks!

    I need a load that is close to Hornady's 38spl lite load

    My friend's wife really does well with Hornady's Lite load using a 90grn expanding bullet going 1200fps. (claimed velocity from 4" bbl). She is shooting them from a S&W 642 snubbie. I've purchased some Hornady 110 XTPs and Starline brass, now I am looking for a suitable load to emulate the...

    Is anyone using IMR4166 in their Garands?

    If you are using IMR4166 in you '06 Garand, how do you like it? Accurate? Does it get the velocity you need? Does it eliminate copper fouling? Etc... Thanks!

    What kind of bayonet do I have?

    I would appreciate any help you guys could give me with identifying this bayonet. Is it worth anything with a scabbard? Thanks!

    Powder in 1pound or 8lb for extended storage?

    Because I couldn't find 8# jugs of powder, I bought 16 1# jugs, all of the same lot number. My question is: Do you think it might be a better idea to buy powder like this in the future, especially if you intend to load batches of only a couple hundred at a time? My thinking is that over an...

    Walther PPK/S 22lr. Opinions please?

    I'm looking for a easy to conceal, 22lr plinker, with decent accuracy. I have a PPK/S in .380 and like how it conceals and shoots, so I thought the 22 would be a welcome addition. I was wondering if the 22 version is made as well, functions reliably, and is as accurate as the 380 version. Any...

    Round nose vs. Truncated cone

    I just bought a SA XD mod2 3" 9mm pistol,(I love it), and I'm looking to start loading for it, using my now "vacated" brass. Lol I'm torn between loading 115grn TC or RN boolits. I was just wondering what the pros and cons of each are. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Titegroup or BE-86 for cast 9mm?

    I have never tried loading for 9mm and wanted to start with these two powders. For loading a 9mm 125 cast (non-gas checked) bullet, which powder would you you use? I'll be firing them from a 3" barreled XD Mod2, if that matters. Care to share some recipes?
