    Anyone into MilSurps and reloading for them?

    fpgt72....man it is a big learning process to me. My friend can quote more specs off the top of his head then I can find. Amazes me but he has been at it for a long time. I do appreciate the info on the primer but again his guidance prevent that error. Now one error his missed or maybe can...

    Anyone into MilSurps and reloading for them?

    This afternoon got copy of what he based this upon: Sierra's 5th edition reloading manual, page 544. It reads: " Loads for G.I. cases should be reduced by one to one and a half grains to compensate for their heavier construction." That follows some comments on the Garands so it might be...

    Anyone into MilSurps and reloading for them?

    "I don't think your friend is too much of an expert....and likely that brass is berdan primed. Pretty much useless in the reloading world...yea you can do it but why on something so common as a 3006." He has some specs on reloading the older military 3006 brass that gives lower specs. So...

    Anyone into MilSurps and reloading for them?

    I am getting ready to reload some 3006 military surplus brass and my friend who is the expert on this tells me the powder loads are different for this brass compared to regular commercial brass due to it's thickness and is a lower load. Yet I have fail to find info on that. Can any of you help me?

    Diamondback DB9 story..

    Mike hope it turns out well for you. I am one of the owners who is pleased. Mine is about 1 1/2 years old and somewhere about 2 to 3 hundred rounds shot with no issue. Did find your experience with the different brands of ammo interesting. Reminded me of two 380 Taurus we had and had...

    I like mine and have two friends who are not big Ruger pistol fans and both bragged on it also. Would recommend it to anyone.

    Diamondback DB9 story..

    Got chance today to visit other LGS I use on this today. He had one in his display for sale. Not a fan of the DB. He had a couple he had sent back for repair. Said he had tried one and had jamming issue but looked back at review on youtube and the man (can not think of his name right off but he...

    Gun business exodus begins in Colorado

    I agree there is much for any company to consider before moving any size operation and the larger maybe more difficult it is, maybe. But to think the companies in the North East will not move is missing some facts as they have done it at least with the textile industry years ago as they did...

    Hot spent casings

    That is just funny. True, but funny. It is a 7400 Remington. Rate of fire was not an issue with it. It was noticed with the very first round from both. There was a total of three rounds fired from the semi auto over about 5 minutes. About two minutes between the first two. There was about 10...

    Diamondback DB9 story..

    I have no reason to believe anyone is not telling the truth as they know it.

Will not be the next few days but will follow back...

    Gun Control Cartoons

    I think we all feel one innocent death is too many, even if from a legal gun. We have to realize this is a big fund raiser for the Democrats. But they are fine with kill babies that were born alive. Yet the legal and ethical gun owners probably do more to protect the innocent against gun...
