    Topic Dead

    B.O. offers much easier to get components, powder usually availability in a shortage, castable bullets, 5.56 mags and bolts, quieter non-suppressed, and widest variety of bullets. seems superior for anything but 200+ yard target shooting. The BO is a great reloader round. I do not recommend it...

    25-Yd zero for a 9mm carbine

    i zero'd my 16'' for 25 yds and it was dead exactly the same at 100. About 4 feet of drop to 200. 115gr@1300 or so. 125's were ''close enough''

    Conventional Wisdom on .223 and 5.56?

    You're never going see a post WW1 firearm damaged from a few thousand PSI. The brass will show it. Failed primer pockets are the big indicator. Sticky bolts can happen, but in 5.56 you'll probably never notice. But if it does fail for any reason, the manufacturer will have a blown out 5.56...

    Small 380 with Hammer, External Safety and works DA/SA?

    If I knew you could buy a full blown Walther PPK only with a higher standard of finish for $180 new back in the early 2000's I would have bought 20. Mine is an APK in .380 acp, maybe a waste since I load 9mak anyway for a PA-63. FEG made some incredible pistols. I must add mine are very...

    Liberty Safes Gives Out Access Code

    Obviously the existence of an access code should be a deal breaker for 100% of the population. Changing an electric code is simple enough that its almost universal. If Liberty gave out only the original code, I suppose I wouldn't blame them, but if some secret factory access code exists, then...

    Why do some use high power scopes for 22lr comps.

    I use a Leupold Marksman 3X9 on my Savage MKII. Its not really hi-power but some would say its unnecessary. It has good light, and very clear lines. I use it at 50 yards. I like seeing a target clearly even at relatively short ranges. Its makes 200 shot single hole groups fun. The...

    How important is easy maintance to your gun selection

    maintenances depends on what you mean. I've ran 1911's so dirty that the solid carbon buildup gets so heavy it ejects and hits me hard enough to hurt. I've ran a 9mm AR so dirty that it shot 3' to the left from the flash hider building up. In the case of the pistol, hand fitting, periodic...

    Hp38 barrel fouling 45 acp

    I use HP38 with similar results. I shoot 4 different 9mm's and all foul severely. Interestingly it runs extremely clean in low velocity rifle loads.

    Should A American Citizen With No Disqualifyers Be Able to Board a Train,Bus or Plane With a Gun?

    The first gun show I ever went to in Puallup Wa had a sign banning guns. This was at the end of the line at the admission point. I told them I had one and they only asked me to unload it in front of them. I wasn't required to hand anything over, they just asked me to keep it unloaded during the...

    Should A American Citizen With No Disqualifyers Be Able to Board a Train,Bus or Plane With a Gun?

    there comes a point where the inherent risk outweighs the benefit. Even the skyjack/terrorist risk can't compare to the accidental discharge risk on a plane. Image a bullet through hydraulic line, jammed in a jackscrew, the head of the pilot, or a fuel system part flying 500 miles in the...

    FEG PA-63

    If you do reload brass is easily made from 9mm luger brass, Missouri bullets sells a 93 grain bullet.

    FEG PA-63

    FEG is a quality manufacturer. The incredible DA pull is as bas as they say. Mine was 64lbs. Not exaggerating, actually measured. SA was about 16lbs. Recoil is significant, very harsh, sharp and snappy. BUT a Wolf PPK hammer spring made the DA pull 16lbs, and the SA pull about 6. Reloading...

    Question on pre-primed brass

    fired brass will almost always accept a bullet easily unless there is something wrong with the gun. Sized brass will not. No real need to resize if already done. Trim lengths can be dangerous in rifles and necks get dented so i always fully reprocess rifle brass regardless of condition. I've...

    Should I consider reloading?

    For what its worth I did save money for the first 10 years. I got my first press, dies and accessories and shot the exact amount I had been for years. The equipment paid for itself in about 6 months. After 10 years I probably am not saving money, but at this point I just wouldn't be shooting...

    Should I consider reloading?

    I currently am paying the following prices .308 -50c/round (jacketed) 5.56 -25c/round (jacketed) 9mm -11c/round (cast bullet) 45 colt -11c/round (cast bullet) 300bo -15c/round (cast bullet) 8mauser -12c/round (light load, cast bullet) Prices are inflated now, and who knows if they'll go...

    Brass Black for 9mak

    I can't answer your question but I will say that my 9mak brass gets a gouge from a triangle file in the rim. Easy for me to find and anyone who picks it up and reuses it with clear damage is an idiot.
