Are those kits up to that much now? WOW! The whole premise of it makes me sick. I have one of those 1928 parts kits to go with my 1928. The "kit" that I got looks like it was made yesterday. Except for the fact that someone used a chop saw to cut straight through the ejection port...

Well those parts aren't worth a whole lot right now. There are still a TON of the Russian parts kits out there. But do your best to preserve them anyway. Even if you just dump them into a 5 gallon bucket full of oil it will at the very least stop the rust. At some point in the future that...

My Remington 700 chambered in .223 has produced stellar groups using Benchmark. Other powders that have worked very well: Win 748 IMR 3031 Varget IMR 4064 My rifle has a 1:12 twist barrel and the 52 grain SMK's loaded over Benchmark are nothing short of amazing.

Not sure what you mean by that GRIZ22. Are you talking M1A and M14? I can assure you there is more than just the selector to make the rifle full auto. The selector switch is merely held on with a set screw, there isn't even a place to attach it to an M1A. There are multiple other...

We got a bunch of NM M-14's in for the shooting team here at the NG base. They all had the selector lever removed but all the other full auto parts were there. It looked like a guy with a pair of pliers could easily turn the selector. But when I broke one of the rifles down I found a...

The media came from http://www.stainlesstumblingmedia.com/ It is $50 per 5 lbs. That five pounds will do about 2 lbs of empty cases. So it is not a cheap polishing alternative but worth every penny to me. The brass is clean enough for me to put through my dies. In my process the brass is...

I thought some people might like to see this. I have recently started tumbling with stainless pins in a Thumlers Tumbler. Wow does it work! For this post I took 50 of the grungiest .223 cases I could find. I was given tens of thousands of empties that were picked up on a military firing...

Gasitman- The caliber changes aren't as bad as you think. It just takes a bit of time to learn how to do it quickly! After a bit of practice you will be an expert! As far as the bent chute goes for the finished rounds, contact Dillon as soon as possible. They are top notch when it comes...

M40A1 106MM Recoilless rifle. Supposedly there are some on the registry. It is a true fire breathing monster. Not sure what I would even do with it, but I sure would like to have it sitting in my living room as a conversation starter. :D

For several years my go to load for for 45 ACP has been: 5.1 Grains W231 CCI LP Primer 230 Grain jacketed/FMJ bullet Any case This is a great load. Light recoil, good accuracy. More than enough power to cycle anything you might put it into. It is a winner in my book. :)

Years, yes years I have been on this forum and you are the first one to get the "Exposure" moniker. In fact, I have been on here so long that my interest in photography has waned down to nothing. But I have kept this screen name just because it is what I know. :neener: I look at my screen...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I have a feeling, actually I KNOW there are people viewing this that have done the same thing and are just keeping silent. I have gotten a ton of use out of this chronograph. I have hit the sky screen legs on at least 6 different occasions. Yes, I am a...

Looks like a sabot round for the M1 Abrams main gun if I had to guess. Very cool! :D

Yea, the pic says it all. Turns out a 40 S&W 165 GR JFP is more than enough round to stop a charging F1 Chrony. :o

Pointing a firearm at someone and pulling the trigger has only one intended purpose. That purpose is to stop whoever is on the wrong end of said firearm. And by stop that means to either disable, or KILL them. Understand that before you get wrapped up in this amazingly deep discussion of what...

The "severely flattened" 357 primer is not a reloading issue. The primer seated backwards, that is an honest accident that EVERY reloader will have given enough time. And the live round, well who among us hasn't ejected a live round at the range and then not picked it up/not been able to...

While primers are sensitive to percussion I can assure you that they do not need to be struck to detonate. Crushed primers can, and DO detonate. I, and many others, have had it happen. A quick google search of "primer detonation" will give lots of interesting reading. Will a primer...

Don't risk it! In the event that the primer were to detonate for whatever reason the powder in the round would ignite and rupture the case. Potentially spraying shrapnel into your face and body. Ouch! I have had a primer detonate on seating and my God it was loud! I can't imagine what...

I'm going to agree with Sunray. Your question is so vague as to be almost unanswerable. You ask the following per your own post: "before I start working up loads I thought I'd ask you fellas who've used both what your experiences have been as to how these to [sic] propellants group...

Sherri- I have loaded thousands of the Rainier 230 grain FMJ bullets over a charge of 5.0 grains of Bullseye. It is very accurate. Until recently it had been my favorite 45 ACP load but I am currently enamored with Winchester AutoComp. But that is for another thread! The 5.0 grains of...
