Aside from shooting magnum loads, how do you get that nice "tuning fork" sound from your steel targets? I have used shepherd's hooks from the garden section with some good success, but it seems that when using chain or fire hose it dampens the great vibration sound that nice thin AR plate sends...

Shooting my Glock 22 (40 S&W) with 5.0gr bullseye in front of a home cast 175 TC and got one that blew smoke and soot and spit brass. I found the piece of brass, and it had a chunk missing at the base or near the web and there was a hairline crack near the case mouth. I also found a little chunk...

Anyone ever try using hearing aides as ear protection when out hunting in the field? I've noticed that there are some amplified hearing protection options but over the ear muffs interfere with my cheek weld on my stock and the purpose built amplified hearing protection that goes in-ear that I...

Just got my M&P Shield today around 4 o'clock and ran out to the countryside to test it out. I couldn't hit a thing. I had limited paper targets so I warmed up on my steel targets. Everything I shot was down and left. I know I'm not jerking the trigger, but I'm thinking my grip was too hard on...

Just ordered a 9mm Shield. Waiting on good ol 10 day waiting period here in California. Before I am able to pick it up in a week and a half, I'd like to get a case or maybe just a half a case of good quality hollow point ammo and prefer not paying $1 a shot. I saw that the IMI 9mm has too hard a...

I just started having this problem where my trigger was not resetting about once per mag. When I tried to fiddle with the slide, it was restring the trigger only half of the time. I should mention that I have a Ghost trigger, but it has been flawless for about two years and several thousand...

I just came across this new die wrench marketed it as a Dillon die wrench. It looks great because of its thin sides and close space capability, however that's until you look at the price! $27.95 http://www.uniquetek.com/site/696296/product/T1532

Been wanting to make a wooden handle for my dillon press for some time now and did a test last night with pretty decent success (see attachment at the bottom of this post). I have a lathe but it's in storage but I came across a fella on YouTube who makes wooden balls with a holesaw and a bit of...

When do you think folks will stop laughing at me for asking about Bullseye powder and 22lr? Really, I want your guestimate. I need some hope! :banghead:

Helping a friend find a price on this hand me down rifle. Mfg in 1978 no idea if it has even been shot. Caliber is 30-30 and besides the bubbling in the finish on the butt it is without blemish. Any help, even ball parking the price, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was taken by an article on 180s in front of bullseye for a soft shooting load that still makes a decent power factor. Anyone doing something similar (with good results)??? If so, I am contemplating getting into casting (since I have a good supply of lead) and I am thinking about getting a...

The first person to guess this cartridge correctly in the comments (Not PM) gets $1 via Paypal!

Before I get to the main question, I am full aware of the reduced brass flow around the shoulder in the Ackley since it has the sharper angle. I am more concerned with overall brass life ie primer pockets/cracks/web. Specifically, is Ackleyizing a case going to let you increase velocity by...

Trying to decide what cartridge to use in my first AR. Here are my two criteria. 1. I want to hunt pig, mule deer, and coyote 2. I may shoot it out to 6-800yd on rare occasion. This puts 223 out of the picture. Any advice welcome!

Getting ready to buy Lapua brass for my long range rifle. I currently load for my 260 using 43.1 gr of H4350 which is around a max load. I will be annealing after every shot and only neck sizing as long as I can. I'm trying to get a ballpark estimate of how many times I can reload the brass so I...

I have some Win 748 and H335 for my 223 loading. I don't have any slow pistol powder currently. Does anyone have any if (and then where) I might start out playing with these in any of my pistol calibers? (40S&W, 38sp/357, 44mag) I am most interested in trying it in my 40 since I have a a ported...

I have been on a quest to make my Glock 22 easier to shoot for my mom and wife. I bought a brass plug that fits behind the mag well, a tungsten rod is on the way, and I have loaded up some 180s with very light loads of Bullseye (3.7gr?? I don't quite recall). I just saw that Lone Wolf has a...

Said as much as I could think of when I took the video. Please watch and diagnose and suggest remedy if you can. This happened when I was installing the Ghost Rocket 3.5 connector. It happens the same when the connector is in or not. Also the same when the bbl and spring are in place or...

It's a long story, but I need to know sooner than later how much of a discount a guy gets from MBC for a bulk order of 13k.

What is the lightest load you have had success with in your full sized autoloader? I am shooting 180 gr pills out of a stock Glock 22 and pushing them with Bullseye. Trying to get my mom and my wife to enjoy the autoloader and to become competent for self protection. And no, I dont want to shoot...
