I'll be the difficult libertarian... If a felon is too dangerous to own a gun then they should still be in jail. If they've paid their debt to society then ALL of their rights should be restored - voting and gun rights. I'm no felon so I'm not sure what else they lose...but that's my...

Thanks all. Walkalong- I may have to check out that gauge. In the meantime, I'll probably sort based on whether I'm sure there's still a crimp or not.

I've got a bunch of range pickup 5.56 brass and I'm having trouble telling if the primer pocket has already been swaged on some of it. Specifically LC brass-some of it has obviously been reamed before: the bevel is clearly visible and I don't feel anything when I stick my Lyman reamer in the...

I like the ammo cans. Harbor freight has the plastic cans on sale for $4.99 a piece right now. I like the smaller size-so they don't get so heavy as a .50 cal can. I picked up 8 more of them yesterday.

owning firearms from a deceased family member? (Illinois THR members please h... Where do your folks live? If he's in IL then you're residents of the same state and it shouldn't be an issue (but if any state has odd rules it would be IL). If he's in MO then my best guess is you need to go...

I love my .300blk. I'm not an AR guy, until the Brady bunch tries to keep me from having one...then I needed one. Then I needed to hunt with it and I'm a big fan of .30 caliber. The Barnes black tip dropped the biggest hog I'd ever killed in its tracks. I've shot pigs with .30-06 that I...

.300 blk kills them just fine. I built my upper with PSA parts and it's my new favorite gun. Now if Barnes will just start selling their black tips to us.

Interesting that an old study is suddenly getting media attention from multiple sources. Noted that the authors didn't go to Harvard-one went to yale and the other UC Irvine. They both have fairly impressive resumes. It's not like this came out of el toro or Phoenix university.

I just received a special order die set from RCBS that is designed for forming .350 RM from 7 mm RM. I also shoot 7mm, and I have a ton of range pickup brass for that. The dies were pricy and took 8-12 weeks or something, but I had enough brass that cam with the gun to tide me over. I got...

What he said!

Congrats. I love mine. Priming on the press can be made to work but I've found that I prefer slowing down just a bit. I resize/deprime then hand prime on the couch before running everything through the press for loading. I can't believe I loaded pistol on a single stage before I got my LNL AP.

Jackal: can you enlighten us a bit more? I was at my LGS yesterday and almost picked up a bushmaster for 650. The least expensive PSA I see on their website is $1000. $350 plus FFL transfer fees will buy a lot of ammo... I'm not saying I disagree with your AR brand preferences, just that I...

Those two threads you reference about reusing primers are both talking about straight up reloads with (presumably) known components. Not breaking down factory ammo. As has been stated previously, there is no way to know why that ammo got rejected at the factory. I'm not going to convince you...

The theme of these answers seems to mirror the answers we see in the threads asking about saving money by reloading. It can be done, but most of us aren't hunting to save money. Most of us are hunting because we enjoy it - it's a hobby, like golf (as someone else pointed out a few posts back)...

Anyone seen any reporting/guessing at what he's going to do?
