The magnets in a TV are very small, small enough that you would have trouble hitting one if you could see it, much less if you can't, they are also fragile enough I doubt that they would even stop a 22 rimfire. I grew up in a TV shop, the really old TV's had some sheet metal in them that might...

Here's what my Rock Chucker says:

I've only loaded a few thousand, 5,000+ 223 shells for use in my AR-15's, 99% of those with Winchester small rifle primers with no issues of any kind. One difference with the AR design is that the firing pin in an AR cannot reach the primer till the bolt is locked, so while a slam fire is...

Use walnut shell for cleaning, it cleans at least twice as fast as corn cob, clean is important, shiny is nice but not necessary.

With those quantities, you really need a Giraud, if you don't think so now, wait till you've done a few hundred, you will change your mind! http://www.giraudtool.com/

If the XD was a revelation to you, wait till you try the S&W Military & Police pistols, the XD is good, the MP series is great!

OK, here's some actual photo proof of "hearsay", hint: this doesn't show good quality control on Ultramax part. They don't just make this stuff up out of thin air...... http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=16&t=319431

Clean brass is important, shiny is nice but not needed. Back in the 60's the vibratory brass cleaners hadn't come out yet, the only thing available was the rotary tumblers which are expensive, and chemical cleaning, very few people owned a brass cleaner, I just cleaned my brass with soap and...

I haven't seen a label saying "reclassified", but there have been runs of law enforcement ammo labeled as "Not for law enforcment use" or "For practice only", these have been certain lots of ammo that don't perform to the level required for defense use. One that I recall specifically were...

Anything with a missing primer is junk, if you pick it up, throw it away! The missing primer is evidence of primer pockets that have stretched to the point where they will no longer retain the primer, they aren't suitable for reloading.

Unless they have changed it lately, Cabela's was using Ultramax for their reloaded ammo, remanufactured is simply a pretty word for reloaded. Ultramax isn't that great, on AR15.com they have the Ammunition Review & Reference, it takes reports from actual users of the product and compiles them...

Those Ruskie rifles can be long!

With a magnified scope on my AR you can't see the front sight at all, you can see it on the red dot sight.

If you haven't already done this, the very first thing to do to an SKS is a complete and total teardown and cleaning, getting all the cosmolene out of everything, including inside the bolt. http://www.surplusrifle.com/sks/carbine/index.asp

Mine was really loaded with cosmolene, the most effective thing I tried was WD40, it worked better than anything else I tried, some people have had good luck with steam cleaning. http://www.surplusrifle.com/sks/index.asp http://www.surplusrifle.com/sks/cleaning/hs.asp...
