    80 yrs old surplus ammo!

    I picked up some 8mm Mauser brass at the range, headstamp BT3 40, Yugo made in 1940, appears Century is selling them now, must have found another cave somewhere. The brass looks pretty good. I don't have an 8mm, I doubt I will shoot ammo this old if I have one! What do you guys do when shooting...

    Life expectation of beam scales?

    How long a beam style powder scale last? When I started reloading a few years ago, I bought a used Lyman 500 scale, it looks old, so I bought another RCBS 505 scale as back up. Now seems the Lyman scale is going strong and will last for years, I wonder if I really need a backup scale. How old is...

    Do you feel offended if seller asks for a copy of CHL for record when doing FTF?

    I have a few handguns I want to sell in near future, shipping handgun is too expensive and only FFL can ship USPS (with Priority Flat Rate Box) but not many FFLs would do outbound transfers, many times only small gun shops and they charge outbound FFL fee much higher. FTF seems to be the only...

    DPMS and Bushmaster ARs become "desirable" when bankrupt?

    Bushmaster and DPMS were considered entry level when market only have a few brands, then considered better brands when more and more cheap ones in the market.

    CDNN has it for $250 (4.25" version) after rebate. The price is very temping and an interesting locked breech 380 ACP 1911 want-to-be on a polymer frame.
