    Question about Springfield XD guide rod

    It's normal. I have an XD45 Service. My guide rod hasn't snagged anything. It's a non-issue. ZM

    Am I lucky? Or do cheap holsters work?

    I have a Uncle Mike's Paddle holster for my XD45's that works great. Rugged and comfortable. The XD Gear paddle that comes with XD's works very well too. My other holsters I paid good money for to get quality. ZM

    DPMS or Olympic AR15?

    Neither Oly or DPMS will win any brownie points for quality or customer service. DPMS is hit or miss on quality and uniformity of parts and tolerances. Some run good, some don't. Oly is junk. Stay away. Try Del-ton if you need a quality low end AR. When buying an AR it is best to...

    Steven's Point, WI student not charged for gun on school property

    This kind of BS just makes my blood boil. Back in the stone age(1978), I would keep my 7MM in the trunk of my car and proceed directly to the hills after school. Some kids even had the nerve to keep their rifles in the window racks of their pick-ups in the school parking lot. Funny that the...

    Whose worse? Glock Homers or XD Homers

    I think the Glock homers are far more annoying than any of the other homers combined. They've been at it longer, and have perfected the fine art of whining. Hope the Glock guys have a sense of humor today. ZM

    46.0 gr IMR 4350 in .270

    I tried IMR-4350 just for something to do. Got some nifty cloverleaf groups with the 135gr Matchking. Worked pretty good with Hornady 140gr BT bullets too. I have since stopped using 4350. No performance reason. Just narrowed down my 270 loads to three instead of eight. My only powder...

    What are the benefits of a rifle for HD?

    In order of preference AR15. Less recoil and more ammo than my HD shotgun. Much fast follow-up shots. Hang a flashlight off of it, shorten the stock an inch and it's good to go. Shotgun. My HD shotgun had a 18.5" barrel. Easy to use in halls and confined spaces, but kicks pretty hard...

    Do you decap before you tumble?

    Depends. Everything but .223 gets deprimed first. My AR is hungry. I load .223 in 300-500 round batches. Tumble Spray with lots of One Shot Resize Tumble again to get the one-shot off the cases decap etc. etc. Repeat hundreds of times. ZM
