    Hornady OAL gauge and AR15

    I've tried measuring several AR15's with the Hornady OAL gauge to determine where the bullet contacts the lands. I don't have the curved version for semi-autos, but I am using the straight version, the one for bolt rifles, and simply removing the bolt carrier. I am getting some unreasonably...

    Load data for Precision Delta bullets

    I've been reloading PD 124gr 9mm JHP and FMJ for a long time using WW231. I've just bought some Titegroup and need to work up a load. Of course none of the manuals are going to list PD bullets so should I just use other comparable bullet's data and COAL. I called Hodgdon and was told 4.1 to...

    punch for sight install

    I'm getting ready to do an sight install on a Glock. I don't have a nylon punch so I'm considering building a punch out of wood dowel or possibly using a piece of Delvin rod. I've never used Delvin for this application but seems it would be easy to shape and I'm feeling it would not scratch...

    eye protection

    I have been using some Oakley ANSI rated clear lens when at the range. I know glasses with this rating would probably protect me from almost any thing that could occur, but I'm still thinking it might be time to get a little more serious about eye protection. I have discovered that Wiley X...

    FMJ or JHP in 9mm

    I have been shooting Precision Delta 124gr. FMJ for several years with fairly good results. I'm getting ready to place a new order and considering trying some of their 124gr. jacketed hollow points. Anyone noticing improved accuracy with the JHP's in 9mm and .45 over the FMJ? Any feed...

    223 brass sizing question

    I've reloaded lots of straight wall handgun ammo but relatively new to bottleneck cases. I'm processing a lot of .223 brass and using calipers and a Hornady Headspace Gauge I've measured a lot of once fired brass I bought. The cases measured anywhere from 1.450 to 1.470, with most around 1.460...

    storing bulk ammo in safe

    I'm having a hard time finding any info on this subject. Lots of "opinions" and "here is what I do" but little data available. I would never store my powder or primers in a gun safe but I have been storing my ammunition in 30 and 50 cal USGI ammo cans and putting these inside a dedicated gun...

    confused on Wolf primers

    I'm getting confused with all the reports on Wolf Primers when used in 223. It seems the Wolf Small Rifle Magnum primers KVB-5.56M works fine with everything but H335 and WC844. I can't find any other ball powders that are an issue with these primers. This primer seems to be the one recommended...

    internet gun dealers

    It's been some time since I ordered a gun online. Who are some of the more reputable dealers? Looks like Palmetto State Armory, Sportsman Outdoor Superstore, and Bud's gun Shop get a lot of positive reviews. Any known issues with these dealers? thanks,

    Rust on brass

    I've got a couple of thousand rounds of processed .223 brass that's been in my garage for about 10 years. On inspection the brass appears to have small rust spots on them. I've tumbled a batch in walnut media for 16 hours and while the cases look a lot better there is still some small evidence...

    Precision Delta bullets

    Considering placing an order for some Precision Delta 9mm 124gr bullets. For those that have used how is the quality control? Are diameters and length pretty consistent? Also, would I likely see any difference in accuracy in the JHP over the FMJ?
