Mine are from the Beltman and I wear one every day. I don't think I will live long enough to wear one out.

JTQ's reference to Horseshoe Leather is spot on. This is the most comprehensive description of the various holster designs I have found. And the quality of Mr. Arratonian's holsters is worth the wait.

grubbylads, while I do not have the model Sig you are contemplating, I have had numerous Sigs over the years and have a lot of confidence in Sig to produce a reliable handgun. If that was the model I wanted, I would buy it. My experience with the 3" 1911-format 45s has been mixed - I had 3...

I don't have any scientific facts to offer up, such as muzzle speed, but I load 110-grain Berry's with 14.0 grains of H110. The cartridges are accurate and cycle my M1 Carbines just fine. The fired cases are just fine, also, usually within 10 feet or so front right.

Mat, the Korean mags work well in my M1 carbines. I ran across them a few weeks ago at Wideners (out of stock now, as with most things related to firearms, ammo, reloading)and bought 10. The only mags I have had issues with have been "vintage" WWII-era mags, even after replacing the springs.

Just 5; W231 for pistol rounds (9mm and 45 ACP), H322 for 223 Rem., 6.5 Grendel, 6.5x55 and 6.8 SPC; IMR 4064 for 30-30 and 308; H110 for 30 Carbine; and H1000 for 300 Win. Mag.

You Georgia boys are making me homesick - grew up in Rome, lived in Buckhead 12 years and 13 more in Kennesaw (the town that adopted an ordinance requiring homeowners to possess a firearm). We used to say that if the Kennesaw Police stopped you, you would be asked if you have a gun - if the...

Thanks for the tip! I checked a few days ago and Powder was sold out of most everything. I just ordered IMR 4064 and H 322. Both are very versitle and I use one or the other for all my rifle loads other than 300 Win Mag.

The Hornady 8th edition lists a starting load of 32.8 g. of IMR 4064 with the 150 g. bullet (41.5 max) and a starting load of 31.4 g with a 174 g. bullet (max 39.3). Thde rifle used for these loads is an Enfield #4 Mark 2, 25.25" barrel.

I use just 3 different powders for those calibers (except for 338 Lapua) and am getting some very accurate rounds. I use H322 for 223 Rem. and 6.5 Grendel; IMR 4064 for 308 Win. and 30-30; and H1000 for 300 Win. Mag. I have not loaded 338 Lapua but H1000 is a commonly used powder. Hodgdon's...

My Hodgdon info (2011 Annual Manual) shows loads for 55 g. 223 Rem. with H4198: 19.0 grains for start and 21.0 grains max. The load data will vary somewhat, depending on the projectile you use

Good find. I generally have to order my supplies on the Internet, as none of the local stores keep a dependable supply of anything in particular. Right now I think we reloaders are under Obama's radar.

Very nice RRA. I have a 20" RRA with the same trigger, with a Springfield 4-14x40 scope. The trigger Is special, for sure.

My favorite scope for the AR-15 in 223 is the Springfield 4-14x40. This scope has not neen made in a few years but can still be found reasonably priced on ebay and is still guaranteed for life by Springfield. Calibrated for 223, this scope has an internal level bubble so it's easy to correct...

I don't have a Weatherby but my Savage 12 BVSS wii shoot the groups you desire. I paid about $600 for it a few years ago (unscoped) and have a Nikon Monarch 6-24x44 scope on it. Last time I shot it at 200 yards, I had a 4-shot group of .5". That was a hand load with a 40 grain Hornady V-Max...
