I love LC brass. It's all I shoot for my .308 and .223 rifles. I currently neck-size for my .308, and my current batch of brass is on it's 4th neck sizing so far. I don't shoot hot loads, so if I can get 10 loads out of any batch then I'll be happy. I've shot 150gr Hornady FMJBT's, 168gr SMK's...

I have a little older YHM Cobra M2 I bought new around the time YHM was changing to a new series of pistol suppressor. You can disassemble it for cleaning, and you can get threaded adapters for different guns. I've used it on 45, 9mm, and 22 so far. A little white lithium grease coated on the...

I meant to upload the targets last night. The upper left-hand corner (red circle) was the re-zero from when I transitioned from ZQI ammo to my reloads. The holes were almost on top of each other, and it was the lightest load in my ladder test (42.4gr). It was fairly windy the day of the test...

Finally got out to shoot some Varget loads; the groups were pretty good, but the accuracy differences between the powder loads were less obvious compared to IMR4064 where it was easier to tell which load it liked best. Either way, it looks like 42.4gr of Varget worked pretty well over the rest...

Got to shoot again today, finally; did a ladder test with IMR4064 only (will do Varget next time); started with 42.6gr up through 43.4gr using .2gr increments, 10 rounds each. My rifle liked the 42.6 the best, and in the group it had a nice little cloverleaf; the recoil was pretty mild, as well...

Nevermind, it states on the 5320.23 that the form is NOT required for an individual transfer. MIND BLOWN. I can't believe these changes took place. It's been over 2 years since my last transfer. I'll get the paperwork sent out this weekend. Thank you, Elkins45.

I have the updated forms from the website. So you're saying I can just send them in with the fingerprints? I found the information about 41F on the ATF website, but everything there is referring to trusts or legal entities. Is a 5320.23 required by an individual, or is it just for trusts/legal...

I just spent the entire afternoon chasing a dream. APD (Albuquerque Police Dept) used to have a unit that dealt with the ATF Form 1's and 4's, but I found out sometime in the last 2 years they shut the unit down. I was then sent to NM State Police, whom refused to review or sign my Form 1's. I...

It's funny you mention that, Wally. I was just now disassembling the can and I'm having trouble getting the Nielsen off. The piston isn't fully pushed back in, and the takedown tool I have is not making contact with the back plate to screw it off. The Nielsen device is probably jammed, and...

I vaguely remember Freedom Munitions 45ACP cycling in the G21, but I haven't shot much factory ammo in the G19. The YHM is a super-light can. I would be greatly surprised (and saddened) if the can was too heavy to use. My Ruger Mark 3 Talo Edition 22 pistol cycles fine with it (same thread...

I'm currently using a YHM Cobra M2 .45 can on a G21 and G19. I've been handloading for a few years now, and finally got my hands on some Titegroup. Everything I've read on Titegroup indicates this powder is a good choice for handloading for a suppressed pistol as it is faster-burning. I used the...

Finally got out today to shoot. The conditions weren't favorable, but with the loads I posted above I got some holes-touching groups with Varget and IMR4064. The H335 did well, but again the conditions weren't great (shooting on the downslope of a hill at a target straight ahead, couldn't get a...

Thanks for the info. That's why I changed out all of my 308 brass for LC; it's stronger and lasts longer. I won't be hot-rodding any crazy loads, and I want something that will last. That, and I wanted everything to be consistent in terms of performance with no variations between brass...

I remember coming across that story regarding the out-of-square brass issue in my research. I didn't quite understand it until what you described just now. Pretty much, putting the brass on a turntable and watching it to see if it leans one direction or the other as it turns will indicate the...

True, Sunray. I have done minor spreads in the past for load workups without any issue, but it was with pistol rounds only (9, 40, and 45 so far). I figured it would be a good place to start with .308 to get an idea of what they would shoot like as long as they were safe, then figure which load...

The plan with IMR4064 was to experiment with 43, 44, and 45gr loads based on my Lyman #49, which is 3gr below the max load for similar 150gr bullets with that powder in that manual. I came across another forum in my research where someone was using 44gr of IMR4064 reliably in surplus cases using...

I've been reloading pistol for almost 2 years now, but will start working up some rifle loads soon. I have a bunch of Hornady #3037's to play with along with some Lake City once-fired surplus brass. I know to knock 1-2 grains off of loads using military brass (per my Lyman's #49). Just wondering...

My first NFA item was a 590 14" pump. Still have it, still love it.

You could always SBR a Zastava AK pistol SBR'ing a Zastava AK Pistol was pretty fun. Had JBI out of Texas do the conversion. Polish underfolder w/red-stained handguards along with a full black duracoat finish. JBI was able to cut/modify the existing rear trunion instead of needing to install a...
