Thanks for the feedback. I have never used this ammo before and wanted to hear what others had to say. Little wolf

Walmart had a sale on some ammo they stock today. The good news is they actually had a sufficient amount of 22 LR to sale so that more than five customers could be satisfied!:) They also had a special 20% discount off the regular price of their ZQ1 ammo. The 5.56 x 45 and 7.62 x 51 are made...

Thanks RC I enjoy your posts on THR and for these helpful ideas on the AR wrenches. The Brownell's wrench has the best reviews. You have been a big help to me on a number of issues on this forum. I'm grateful. Little Wolf

Who makes the best armorer's wrench for ARs? Particularly, for breaking loose the castle nut on the buffer tube to remove the tube from the lower receiver. Your thoughts are appreciated. Little wolf

Prior to the rush on components, military pull down powder and projectiles were readily available. However, since December, 2012, they have become mostly nonexistent. Does anyone see new sales of these components anywhere or heard if these items might return once supplies of civilian...

I agree, run them through a 40 S & W carbide sizing die. If you want to determine if the small flash hole is the main obstacle, consider using a decapping die to remove only the primer. If you meet a lot of resistance with the decapper, then the resistance issue is with the flash hole, not the...

Thanks for the feedback. Didn't think a full powder charge was possible for them due to the length.

I have noticed that Grafs and others are selling military surplus tracers for 223. These bullets are quite long due to the tracing component chamber in the base. They are supposedly designed to mimic the flight characteristics of M855 ammo although I am wondering how close they really are...

My $.02. I have seen all sorts of glassware on top of ARs from conventional scopes, to illuminated reticles, to red dots, etc. The final answer simply depends on what you intend to use your weapon for AND how much you are willing to spend. The most impressive sight system I have seen on ARs...

Thanks for all the input folks. I guess the question comes down to PF (Power Factor) perhaps to determine powder burn in a 4 inch barrel. Is there any information regarding PF to reducing flash? Littlewolf

Are any powders used in reloading (especially pistol powders) low or no flash?

Power Pistol Found this to be an excellent powder for full power loads behind a 180 FMJ. It's a bit snappy with a flash but very accurate. :) Little wolf

Thanks all. I feel better with the standard size flash hole.

I have observed the primer flash holes in Speer 357 SIG brass to be very small compared to other brands. Is there a reason for this? Should this flash holes be enlarged to proper size? What consequences could occur from reloading this brass with the smaller holes?:confused:

Been thinking about reloading for a Glock in 10mm. What thoughts do you reloaders have for that caliber?

Went in a LGS yesterday to see how prices had changed since the election. Looked at prices on primers in comparison with just two weeks ago. Prices for Winchester Large Rifle primers had increased from $3.35 per hundred to $4.00 per hundred. Increases were seen with other primers though not...

Interesting reading. Never thought my post would generate this volume but I thank you all for giving your opinions to consider. I've yet to do anything due to being occupied with other endeavors but plan to see what the first jug looks like soon. Littlewolf.

I may have overlooked someone making this comment but I'll add it anyway. The cartridge uses a .355 inch diameter bullet and not a .357 inch diameter bullet. It seems confusing because it is called the 357 Sig but it uses a 9 mm diameter bullet. Use of a .357 diameter bullet will increase...

Appreciate the responses. My thoughts were in agreement with GLOOB in that mixing the same powder type such as WC844 into one well blended mass would be the best way to make several jugs consistently the same. It is understood that a workable load must be worked up from there. The reason to...

At a recent gun show, a vendor had various military surplus powders for sale. I understand these are canister powders and the same powder (WC844 for example) will not be consistent from lot to lot. The question is this, should each 8 pound container sold by the vendor be tested to work up an...
