Walther PPQ

I had the same question as the OP about a year ago. I ended up getting a Ruger American in .308 with Nikon Prostaff Scope (4-12x40). Entire package less than $450!

I understand that this is a legal way to build your own AR without going through FFL or SN. Is this true and can someone recommend a good source for 80 AR lowers? Any tips on machining or building?

BERSA THUNDER 380! Walther PPK clone but less than half the price ($270) and more reliable with very manageable recoil!

This is for his 10th grade speech class. He is looking for sources, illustrations, true stories,etc. to cite in his report. Can anybody offer any suggestions? He needs to present arguments from both sides but intends on persuading the class that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

It would also seem to me that a bulging case would have thinner brass at the bulge. Just putting it through a die or making sure the outside case dimensions are "spec" would not repair the thinness of the case. Does that make sense or am I missing something?

I am shooting a gen 3 - has the finger grooves and rail. I have not loaded the new ammo yet. But I have shot whatever is cheapest for plinking. I have head stamps showing CCI, Blazer, Federal, R P. Why do you ask?

I am reloading some brass cases fired from my Glock 23 (.40 S&W) to be reused in the same gun. When inspecting the brass, I noticed that one side of the case near the base is slightly bulged out. Should I be concerned? I remember hearing some thing a while back about some Glock's not having a...

I could not see anywhere where Lee had carbide dies for this caliber...???

OK - so I've successfully reloaded a small batch of 9mm and now I'm moving on to .223 Remington. I'm on the Midway site and they have two die sets for sale. They are: Lee Deluxe 3-Die Set 223 Remington - $30.99 (description below) "The Lee Deluxe Rifle 3-Die set is perfect for the...

Thank you all for your help. The information is much appreciated. One last question though. I assume that (from the data on my original post) I am OK to start my loading at 4.6 grains and work up from there? My next purchase will be a scale and a powder measure!! I have heard very...

Can I get the taper crimp using the standard bullet seating die that came with my Lee Die set?

I am ready to do my first reloads ever. I have my cases cleaned, de-primed and primed and am ready to charge and seat bullets. I am using Lee Press and Dies. My data is below with questions after. Data from Lee Die instruction for 115 grain 9mm using “Alliant Unique” powder. I am using...

I have shot both 5.56 and .223 through my AR-15. I would like to reload all of them with one dye. Can I do that? Or do I need to purchase two dyes?

Thank you all for your help. Looks like there is no "one way" to do it.
