    ZQ1 rifle ammo at Walmart

    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...

    Military surplus components

    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...

    M856 tracer reloading

    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...

    Speer 357 SIG brass - very small flash holes

    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:

    Reloading prices going up

    Surplus powder question

    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...

    198 gr FMJBT load recipes for 8 mm Mauser

    I was following the recent thread on hand loads for the 8 mm Mauser but noted most of the responses were for 150 and 170 gr bullets. The Mauser has tremendous potential for higher velocities and I understand why American factory loads are so wimpy (due to the number of .318 bores). My question...

    Surplus Ammo Question

    Found an individual wanting to sell some 8mm Turkish ammo he had bought in the past. While none has been available in bulk for some time, a question came to mind on some military surplus ammo recently. Much of the 8mm Turkish ammo released about 10 years ago was soft steel jacket bullets but...

    Mini 14 not ejecting brass

    Have an old Mini 14 that was shooting fine until recently. Seems to not have enough gas to work the slide. Checked the gas hole in the barrell and this area is open and was cleaned. Still would not eject due to lack of sufficient gas. :eek: Checked the bushing between the barrell and the...
