If so, how long is the throat in general terms? Are you hanging heavy, 220-250gr far out of the case, or is it relatively short? Any problems with the secant ogive bullets?

Finally shot some ladder loads that I made up almost two years ago in 7mm-08. Shooting them from a Remington 700 SPS Varmint with 26" barrel I got an average of 2949fps at the max charge (47.5gr) listed in Hornady's 9th edition! No pressure signs that I can tell and great accuracy, but Hornady...

I have a DPMS G2 Recon on its way and I would really like to have the barrel(stainless) re-profiled to shave some weight. This will be in addition to changing the HG for a 12" MI rail. I want the rifle as easy to carry(light) as reasonably possible and I would like it to maintain acceptable...

I've been meaning to pick up a budget hunting rifle that I can use with "relaxed" levels of concern about nicks and scratches. After being invited to hunt hogs again I decided it was time to make the jump. Stopped at Academy and found a Savage Axis with Bushnell 3-9x40 for $299. Sold. The...

I recently purchased an M&P Pro 5" model. Today at the range it had a few hiccups in the first two magazines but cleared up. My main concern is that this pistol is shooting 6-8" low at 10 yards. I rented one before I bought this one and it was shooting 1/2-3/4" below the bull at the same...

I found this to work pretty well with the blue lube found on MBC bullets. I submerged 500 of them in a sealed bucket overnight and when I checked I had bare bullets in a light blue liquid. I will wash them with clean Xylene or brake clean when I pull them out to dry. Then I will try the powder...

I have some MBC 9 cone bullets I want to powder coat but I am not sure of the best way to dissolve the lube out of the groove first. I am sure I could melt it off but I am worried about that leaving a film that the powder wont adhere to. Anyone done this before or know what this lube is made...

I just started another thread about the SA-08 I purchased for my girlfriend to begin with and it got me thinking about what else I may need to begin this successfully. I have limited funds with which to start so higher end guns and accessories are not on the table as of now, although I won't...

Well I got the Weatherby SA-08 in today. My initial impression is that it seems fine to me and is what I expected for the price. It is made in Turkey but looks to be of quality on par with budget pumps I own (870 Express and Win 1300). If it runs good with a variety of ammo I will say it is a...

I have fired about 400 rounds or so through this rifle mostly trouble free. The majority of that was de-linked non-corrosive Korean surplus. During the last 30 or so rounds it began leaving the empty in the action although it would pop free of the extractor. The more briskly I operated it the...

Original thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=767810&highlight=ammo+stolen I actually got pretty busy with holidays and work and semi-forgot about this little problem. In short, the ammo was lost or stolen in shipment according to SGAmmo. They provided me a refund and I will...

I have a Rem 700 in .30-06 that I inherited from my grandfather when I was a kid. The rifle is mid 1970's production, or thereabouts I believe, and it is an ADL in gloss finish and iron sights. Anyway, he never really hunted much with it and it was used mostly for pest control on his land...

I size a lot of once fired 5.56/7.62 and have used Imperial Sizing Wax with good results. Lubing inside the neck is difficult and tedious for large quantity. I have tried One Shot with decent results but it seems like I have to use a lot of it(aerosol). I tried some Case Slick and it works...

Just trying to vent in a peaceful manner. Ordered a 250 case shotshells that was delivered today. Get home, nothing. Checked all around, delivery confirmation shows delivered. I sent the vendor an email to see what can be done. Having someone at the house all day isn't possible, and I've...

I posted this over on the M14 forum and figured I'd share here too. At first glance I was a little disappointed until I actually tried it out and I really like it now. It is a mount made by Midwest Industries for the M1A's that have the scout rail although it can be fit to any one of them...

I have resized plenty of brass, just trying to learn how to best approach it with better goals in mind. Brass: Once fired LC 12 7.62, fired in my M1A. The brass was primed unfired when I bought it. Goal: To make this resized brass: 1. Cycle reliably in most any M1A/.308 AR rifle. 2...

I could have sworn that there was a thread here recently about some newer case trimmers similar to the WFT, but my search didn't find anything. The difference was that it would deburr and chamfer simultaneously. I know of the Giraud and RCBS ones, but this tool was to be chucked in a drill/drill...

Learning the importance of case inspection - again No editing titles? Anyway, A little while back I had a case separation in my AR-15 from using once fired military brass. I made an assumption that it being once fired was no cause for concern as I thought that these would be like other...

Finally got around to this, my first attempt at it. I may redo it because it looks like I twisted the paracord in places. I am not sure how much it will really cushion the stock but maybe during the two months a year that it gets cold here it will insulate my face! ETA: Material is by Paracord...

Well, this is a first for me! Rifle: DPMS AP4/carbine gas, circa 2007. Non-chrome bore/chamber, but chamber cleaned prior to this trip. Brass failure occurred ~200 rounds into the trip. Ammunition: My own reloads. LC08 case, Tula KVB-223, 25.5gr H335, Hornady 55 FMJ First off, I'm not overly...
