We just moved and I am getting way more organized than I was before I retired. I have a healthy amount of magazines for each mag fed gun. I have a healthy number of firearms. Which means a lot of magazines that are coming with to the range, getting wiped down, stored for a day, a month, week or...

OK guys, I shoot and now have dies for: 7.62x25 357Sig 9x25 How do most people trim these to length?

Experienced 357Sig reloaders - regardless of bullet weight, what are the bullets you recommend?

Does anyone know for Colt Trooper Mk III grips, what kind of wood Colt used in the 1970's? I did a refinish job on a set of grips for my other Trooper Mk III that were frankly trashed. Most folks said I should just throw them away. I'm not sure what was on them (blood?), burned (?), at least...

I need ideas on stackable bins with lids for dirty spent brass storage. Doing chores today. Mostly cleaning and such. Wife is back in her career full time as my youngest is getting ready to leave the nest, so I help. Not sure likes it when I clean the bathroom with a firehose, but I...

Using Longshot, my standard RCBS powder measure and it's just not consistent. I try to be even handed, hold it plumb and all, but: .1, .2 and sometimes .3 gr variance. Am I doing it wrong? Should I try something else?

I can't decide which 6.8SPC rifle powder I should choose. Any recommendations? Benchmark looks like it works for multiple bullet weights. New to rifle reloading so I am open minded, unfamiliar with rifle powders and big eyed at the choices.

I have a Lee Turret press and in general I love the thing. I have done 45ACP to the point of saving money and 10mm to the point of really saving some dough. I have other dies and have fun and love the science. Question: How does everyone install, setup, use, control, etc in detail the Lee flare...

Really curious what about Blackmaxx bullet coating. Here are some examples, but googling didn't get a straight answer. http://monmouthreloading.com/product/40-cal-180gr-flat-point-coated/ http://shootersbullets.com/shop/40-cal-flat-point-180-grain-coated-price-per-500/

I bought the 4oz bottle of Militec and small tube of Militec grease. Not an inexpensive deal, $25 but does include a nice needle dispenser. I mainly bought the stuff for lubricating my AR bolt and BCG moving parts. I did NOT buy it for corrosion prevent, or a general firearm lubricant. I will...

I have Lee, RCBS, Hornady dies. For my Lee Turret press. No general problems. I wish to finally buy a new Dillon 9x25 Die Set L85-14601. Dillon has some language that only seems to confuse me about apparently other die sets that are unique to the Square B deal press. I ASSUME the Dillon 9x25...

I just bought a new S&W 617 10 round .22LR, 4". Shoots fine. First thing is to downsize the huge stock rubber grips. Who makes the smallest grips for the the Round Butt K-frame 617? First I would love the rubber inlaid variety I have seen on Rugers. But checkered wood OK or rubber OK...

I seem to be getting conflicting input from various sources. What is the correct crimp for classic 10mm rounds?

Does anyone have direct experience with loading 6.8 with Hogdon Varget? Did not see it on their site and a couple books didn't mention it either. Thanks.

Sometimes I need to get a grip on a knurled thread protector or grip a object temporarily without damage. I have used certain pipe straps and soft jaw pliers for plumbing, are there any favorites for gunsmithing?

Has anyone tried the alternative pins like the KNS? IMHO this is a weak link in the AR. Not that they are prone to failure, but the cotter pin is just plain junky. Some bolt carriers will have the hole at MMC, then if you have a fat "pin", the battle begins, it bends on insertion and you...

Bought a new .40S&W Carbine. Took it to the range today for the first time. Filled a magazine with standard Federal .40S&W plinking ammo. First shot at around 20 yards, drilled a perfect bullseye. Easy. Second shot KABLAM!! Casing completely fragged, near obliteration. Found the first...

I purchased a Lone Wolf Glock Long Slide for my Glock 20SF. The plain old stainless looks odd on the black polymer frame. I want it black or dark gray. What are my options? I REALLY don't want to send it out of state and all. Can I spray it with Duracoat in a can? How durable is that...

How do you know on the fly if a powder will work for your stable of calibers? Do you only shop for your top 3 (or whatever) powders? So, say once a quarter you agree to some retail therapy with the wife.... I mean the all day kind. At least I get a good lunch and some bonus points. These...

Who makes the best most accurate 6.8SPCII dies ?
