I’ve been reloading (Lots of reloading!) for more than 3 decades and I’ve always heard and also read in several books to start at 10% under the “starting load”. When a manual publishes a starting load why would you start 10% under it? I understand that there is a possibility that the manual...

Glasses and or contact lenses are now a part of my daily life. Long story short, sometimes the situation that dictates what my eye correction methods are is not complimentary to fast target acquisition. I would ask those of you that actually have encountered this problem to share how they...

SWMBO informed me that it would better utilize our living space (and foster our continued peace and harmony) if I downsized my reloading room into the utility room. My previous one had the bench set up for reloading while sitting. I think this time I’m going to build my bench to reload while...

It’s common knowledge that you can fire a .38 Spl & a .38 Spl +P round in a .357 Mag revolver. I was curious if the first two cases mentioned are strong enough to take a .357 Mag loading and would it be safe to shoot in a .357 Mag revolver? I would also think that the shorter case would be...

What has be the range in transfer charges of machine guns by dealers in full auto firearms? Thanks.....Doc

I'm retired and maybe I have too much time on my hands but... I love machine guns and airplanes and I thought I might combine the two. I build experimental aircraft and I have this Cassutt Racer. I didn't build this particular airplane, but FAA regulations allow me to modify it. I...

I've been shooting my AR in .223 averageing 200 to 300 rounds a month. So far I've put ~2,000 rounds of Win. 55gr fmj bullets reloaded @ 3,200fps through this chrome lined upper and I haven't seen any decrease in accuracy yet. However, from some of the tales I've heard I am getting concerned...

I am visiting a friend in a neighboring state and he offered me a very good deal on a semi-auto pistol. Can I buy it and bring it home legally without going though a FFL dealer?

Cleaner: Brake vs Carburetor 1 - Which is better for removing oil from firearms? 2 - Can either of them pose a health problem by contact or inhalation? 3 - Can either of them harm the plastic or polymer parts found on guns? 4 - Can either of them discolor the finish on a firearm?

I hunt and I 've shot in small bore competitions, but I've never hunted using a .22lr cartridge. I plan to use my heavy barreled (Butler Creek .910" diameter) Ruger 10/22 shooting CCI Stinger ammo to primarily hunt squirrels. My question is what would be the optimal distance to sight-in this...

I inherited a 12 gauge Browning Auto 5 Magnum shotgun (circa 196? - it has the round pistol grip) and an additional barrel with rifle sights marked 2 ¾ “ . Do I have to do anything more than have the chamber reamed out to be able to shoot 3” shells through it? Thanks in advance for any...

My metallic cartridge handloads look as good or better than factory offerings. I know all that polishing isn't necessary, but handloading for me is also about aesthetics and I'm not apologizing for it or am I asking for help conquering my addiction. Now my obsession is looking for a new...

I found over three hundred threads that had some mention of cleaning brass cases, but very little info on what soap reloaders use to wash their brass. I just want to wash the dirt off and remove most of the carbon before putting them into my vibratory tumbler. I’m only interested in using...

Jeff Copper was known to use .223 brass in his 38 Super - known as the Super Cooper. Can someone tell me how to inside ream the .223 case so a bullet can be seated without bulging the case? Thanks in advance.....Doc

A neighbor offered me a Springfield Armory 1911A1 safe-queen, a Colt 9x23 Win.conversion kit, a set of RCBS carbide dies and ~500 once fired Winchester brass for $600.00. He will at my option sell me 20 WWB ammo (50 rds each) for $10/box. I don’t need another 45 and I don’t want to...

Several years ago I set up a Anshutz 64 with a Leupold fixed 12X scope on two piece Leupold bases. I used to shoot it in my basement and at a 25 yd indoor range. The scope is equipped with a Leupold screw-on lens to adapt it to close ranges. I used all the up adjustment on the scope which put...

In pamphlet written by The Florida Secretary of State the following weapons are permitted by law to be concealed on a person with a permit. I Googled "Florida Statute 790.06" and found that the Florida Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services is now the regulatory authority and The Jack Hagler...

I read all reviews about coating cast bullets with Alox on MidwayUSA.com and the great majority of them were positive. There were, however, many reports that even after the Alox dried the bullets remained tacky. A few of the reviewers advised that they solved the problem by putting mica or...

I want to convert my .458 Win Mag to .458 Lott and I was wondering if I would still be able to shoot .458 Win Mags in it after the conversion - much like shooting .38 Spl. in a .357 Mag chamber. If this is possible would the longer .3" lead caused by the Lott chamber be detrimental to...

It is my understanding that a specific form must be filled out and sent to the BATFE if you transport your machine gun out of the state it is registered in. I have the following questions: 1 - Is this a form that is used to get "permission" from the Bureau or is it just a notification...
