    Oal 5.56/223

    As someone mentioned, the OAL is not set in stone, one factor to take into consideration is the barrel's throat wear, which is the distance the bullet has to travel before it contacts the riflings in the barrel, the more travel the less the accuracy and that usually happens when the barrel has...

    Tumbling media?

    Corn cob works very well for me. :)

    9mm in a 38?

    I would keep 9mm bullets in 9mm cases, and .38/357 bullets with their properly loaded .38 Special or .357 Magnum rounds.

    RCBS ChargeMaster 1500 Combo, First Impression!

    LOL.. Yep, I'm in the "Left the drain open" club also! :banghead: :cuss: I'm happy with the Chargemaster 1500 Combo. The only thing I don't like about it is when I have small charges under 10 grains, it dispenses the powder very slowly at trickle speed, which is not fun if you have to load 50...

    man have you guys got to hear this story

    I've been going to the Ben Avery Range (formerly Black Canyon Shooting Range) just north of Phoenix, AZ, for the past 26 years and I've seen a couple of instances where somebody was asked to leave because of safety violations. During cease fire breaks, you're supposed to stay away from the...

    Number of firearms in America

    Sixty million firearms is way too low, even for the number of gun owners. The number grows daily, and estimates put the number of households that have guns are around 80 million. I have 9 rifles, 4 handguns and one shotgun, all except one handgun, which I keep with me, are stored in a...

    What's the most regrettable firearm purchase you've ever made?

    Most regretable firearm purchase... I can't say that I regeretted it, but in 1993, I bought a brand new Ruger Mini-14. I never had any problems with it, other than the fact that I couldn't keep 5 shots within a 2-inch group from the reloaded .223 Rem ammo. I sold it then got a new Colt AR-15 in...

    How Do You Grade GW Bush (President of US)?

    Biker - "Still evil though, eh Mike? Biker" "Evil" may not necesserily be the right word, but he's still the better choice than Hanoi Kerry or Al Gore, who was a solid advocate of Second Amendment rights, up until he came into office with Billy Jeff.

    Which caliber?

    Choice of calibers I'm not sure about the 7.62x39, I guess it's okay for short range, but for best long range shots, my first choice would be the .300 Win Mag, second choice would be the 30-06, or any of its cousins like the 270 Winchester or the 280 Remington. For ranges shorter than 300...

    Goose's Revenge

    This is pretty comical, along the same lines as Elmer Fudd and the "wabbit" or Daffy Duck. :D http://www.azfamily.com/sharedcontent/dws/fea/breakroom/offbeat/stories/100605dnnatoffbeat4.c8dde915.html

    How Do You Grade GW Bush (President of US)?

    Overall, I'd give him a C. I voted for him in 2000 and 2004 because he is, as the old saying goes, "The lesser of 2 evils".

    Say Good night to guns in Belgium!

    LOL.. The gun ban in Belgium makes about as much sense as the law the French parliment passed a few years ago, which banned the .308 Winchester caliber for hunting because it is also a caliber that's used by the military. This happened in 2000 or 2001, and I'm still trying to figure out the...

    Another Black Eye For FEMA

    Phoenix Fire Department Banned by Fema from New Orleans Here's something else that makes everyone question the competence of the people at FEMA. The crew from the Phoenix Fire Department volunteered in the rescue operations on September 26th, but they were sent back to Phoenix because they were...

    What's your politics?

    I'm a registered Republican, and I only vote for Republicans because they are the lesser of two evils. The fact of the matter is, I am an American, who earns his living, enjoys shooting sports, has reverance for the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and I don't want the Government telling...

    Bill O'reilley let Bill Maher off the hook!

    I saw that too, which shows how ignorant Maher is when he implied that the threat of terrorism is still present with his statement "people can still buy guns thanks to the NRA".; then he got interrupted by Bill O in the middle of his statement. I hate to tell you this Bill Maher, but we...

    Gaza in America-would you move or fight?

    I don't think what's happening in Gaza can happen here. I can't understand why Palestinians and Jewish settlers cannot live in peace together on the same land and share it. I know we have our problems here between Hispanics and White Americans, but for the most part, we managed to get along...

    New Jersey Sucks! What crap.

    The assault weapons are able to fire hundreds of rounds per minute and can fire rounds farther than rifles and handguns. The ammunition that are used with these assault weapons can pierce the bullet proof vests worn by police officers. FBI statistics show that one in every five officers killed...

    How old is your reloading equipment?

    I have an RCBS Rock Chucker that I've been using since 1994. I started out with a cheaper RCBS single stage (forgot the model name) in 1986. All of the equipment is stored at room temperature and I'm sure they'll be around long after I'm gone.

    M1-A .308 cases

    Thanks for all the tips guys, I'm going to do some experimentation on the die settings and look at using a faster burning powder, like IMR 4064 or 4895. Last weekend was the very first time I've ever seen case splits at the mouth with the first load, and that only started when I used Win 748 for...
