    My AR got super hot on a long car trip. You think there's any damage?

    It's a 15 year old truck so I'm thinking I either left a rear heater on and didn't notice or some kind of heat from the engine which would be strange but I'm not a car guy.

    My AR got super hot on a long car trip. You think there's any damage?

    Ok so I was driving home from the mountains, about an 8 hour drive. I put my new Daniel Defense DDM4 rifle, in its factory case, on the floor of the rear space in my Tahoe, pushed up against the back seats and then piled a bunch of luggage and what not ontop of it. When we got home I parked the...

    I am the main cause of the ammo shortage

    I am the opposite. I shoot casually and have a moderate stash of a few different calibers. I refuse to buy at inflated prices. I'll happily burn through my stash, keep shooting and buy more/reload more later to replenish. The supply will catch up to the demand, econ 101.

    Confused about weighing powder

    I was talking about grains. My Lyman manual says 11.3 low and 14.9 high. So I thought low-mid would be a good place to start. I ended up spending over an hour just trying to tune the powder measure and the scale. Finally got it spitting out 12.5 grains consistently when my lady came home...

    Confused about weighing powder

    Got it. Im just gonna go 12 to be safe. You're right also about not being able to trust this scale right now, if I move it 1/4 inch, its off.

    Confused about weighing powder

    Thanks to all of you for the fast help. As to why I should not start near the maximum, is that because its dangerous to the reload process or that it just makes for a heavy recoil shot? Im no stranger to shooting heavy loads(purchased) out of this pistol, just brand spankin new to reloading them.

    Homeless+McDonald=Concealed Carry for All

    I dont think its messed up at all, I'm glad the homeless don't have guns. I live in a beach community swarmed with them and can only imagine how quickly begging might turn into armed robbery if that were the case. I know this is O/T though, proceed....
