    safe upgrade and fire rating

    Hi, I have a National Security safe. I was thinking of putting a Goldenrod and some lighting in it. It already has a hole in the top. At this time there is a 1/2" bolt plugging the hole. Will removing the plug and threading a power cord through the hole significantly reduce the fire rating...

    Remington 512 scope mount

    I've got an old Remington 512 tube fed, bolt action, .22 that I want to put a scope on. The owners manual, online, says the receiver is grooved. Well, mine is not. My question is: should I look into having dovetail grooves machined into the receiver or having 4 holes drilled and tapped into...

    Scope for Marlin Model 25 - 22lr

    I have a Marlin Model 25 - 22lr. rifle. Until recently, I've only shot it with the original iron sights. Being 66, that doesn't work so well any more. I slapped a red dot on it recently and was getting dime sized groups at about 40 yards. I was impressed. I think I'd like to get a variable...

    .300 blackout doesn't like 150gr. bullets

    My brother sent me a .300 blackout upper that he picked up as part of a build. He wanted me to check it out while he was waiting for his lower. Eventually I was going to load some ammo for him. I took it to the range today, mounted on my S&W M&P 15 lower. It loved 125gr. Nosler green tips...

    when does a compressed load become dangerous?

    I'm working up loads for my 300 AAC blackout. I'm using 125gr. Nosler ballistic tip over Lil Gun. Their data says that 17gr. has a load density of 102% and 18gr. is 108%. That is with brass that is trimmed to, I would assume, 1.363-1.368. They say their 18gr. load is the most accurate. I...

    RCBS powder trickler

    I was given an RCBS powder trickler. I have never used one before. I was trying it out and powder was coming out both ends. I looked online and saw there is supposed to be a knob on one end. (Probably why I had powder coming out both ends.) I can put a knob on the tube, no problem. My...

    Is Hodgdon Lil Gun 300 blackout load data too conservative

    I finally rounded up some Hornady .308 cal 150 gr FMJ-BT bullets to load for my 300 blackout. I'll be using Hodgdon Lil Gun. The Hodgdon website says 13.9-15.2 grains of Lil Gun for the Hornady 150 gr inter-bond bullet. From what I've read, that seems a little wimpy. I've seen recipes...

    Why I check my brass

    I bought 1000 pieces of 300 blackout brass made from once fired surplus 5.56 cases. The brass was pretty clean already but I'm anal about my brass. I tumbled with stainless and was rinsing and inspecting for hiding pins. Something didn't look right with this case so I cut it in half. Turns...

    Sierra Pro Hunter "too short" for 300 blackout AR?

    I want to load up some 125 grain pills for my 300 blackout. Bullet availability is not too good right now, as you know. I have some Hornady 308 cal 125 gr SSTs on backorder. I've shot those and like them. Anyway, I found some Sierra Pro Hunter 125gr soft points that are available. I read...

    Ultradot

    About a year ago I asked for recommendations for a red dot sight that would hold up on my T/C Contender in 35 Remington. Among others, I was directed to Ultradot. I bought the Ultradot 30 and have been very happy with it. It's held up and held zero for many range trips and I got a deer with...

    38 S&W ammo in a Ruger .38/.357

    I have an acquaintance who asked me to pick up some ammo for him, if I got a chance. He has a Ruger .38/.357. I don't know what model. He asked me to pick up some .38 special and if I couldn't find that, some .38 S&W ammo. I told him I didn't think the 38 S&W cartridge was compatible with...

    300 AAC Blackout upper

    Hi all. I'm thinking of getting a 300 AAC Blackout upper for my S&W M&P15 Sport. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg. In my search I found them down to $350-$375 w/o bolt carrier group and charge handle. I can use the bcg and ch from my S&W. Has anyone done business with DS Arms. Thanks.

    Primer pocket swaging - Am I missing something?

    I’m new to reloading military brass. I’ve got brass from some Federal XM193 that I shot. I know you have to remove the primer pocket crimp before reloading. I deprimed with the Lee universal decapper. I have the RCBS primer pocket swagger combo die set up on a basic $35 Lee reloader. From...

    Got lucky today

    This morning I lucked out and was able to buy several cases of ammo. On the way home I stopped at the gas station and this drop dead gorgeous blond was filling up her car at the next pump. She looked at the ammo in the back of my car and said in a very sexy voice, "I'm a big believer in...

    Am I overreacting?

    Hi all. The other night there was a movie coming on T.V. that my wife thought I’d like to see. I looked at the cast list and said to my wife, “I’m not watching anything with that hypocrite in it! He gives tons of money to anti 2A groups.” I can’t remember the name of the movie or the name of...
