A good deal on an AK63D came my way. I jumped. Not mine, just an image. I already reload for several calibers. With x39 surplus selling for .20-.40 in Bulk, I started thinking about reloading. If you reload for this caliber: Where are you sourcing your brass? Favorite Powder...

I bought a Springfield 1903 about 10 years ago at a gun-show. The receiver has been drilled and tapped for a scope. I don't think it came from the factory this way. The date stamped on the barrel is Oct/1918. Couple questions: Is it possible to add a "peep" type rear sight? The receiver...

Evening all, I'm looking for suggestions/recommendations on a Traditionally mounted .308 Scope with a BDC or Mil-Dot reticle for a Ruger Gunsite .308. I'll be using an XS picatinny rail. Any and all input/suggestions or critique appreciated. Pics of your setup appreciated. Even if you...

Evening All, I ordered some Speer 170gr SPFN bullets for my Marlin 336. I got to wondering, can these bullets be loaded for my .308 Win rifles? This particular bullet isn't listed in the Speer 14 for .308 Win, only 30-30 Win. Can the bullet construction handle the increased powder...

I've been loading a fair amount of 5.56. At some point, I decided to clean the resize die. I failed to reorient the die correctly and then resized/processed/and loaded approximately 500-700 rounds of ammo that will not chamber. The die body wasn't wasn't set deep enough. :uhoh: My...

A question I've been pondering. Maybe I'm over thinking it.... I found an accurate load at the very bottom of the Min/Max charge scale. Can I expect a Soft Point, 5.56 round to mushroom and perform terminally at roughly 2200 FPS? I can raise the charge, at the cost of accuracy...

Are there any Zen-Full folks with words of wisdom. Or at least people with links? :what: My Hornady LNL-AP is giving me fits. Last night, I was reloading some 9mm and at first, I had problems with the shell plate advancing far enough to allow the spent primer to drop... Give it a "wiggle"...

I'm shooting a new model Ranch Rifle. 582 Series. I've shot Federal 5.56 and American Eagle .223. I cant get through any Factory Ruger Magazine, 5 round/20 round without a failure to extract. AFAIK, there has been less than 200 rounds through this rifle. The pic isn't mine, but this...

Anyone here load for their Mini 14/Ranch Rifle? 1:9 twist, 582 series I'm gearing up to give it a go with some CCI 41, some IMR 4064 and most likely a 55 gr HPBT to start. I'm Interested in what worked best for y'all, if you feel like sharing. Thanks PS, I posted this same...

I ordered a RCBS X Die, .308 Haven't received it yet. I plan on using it for my M1A. I'm hoping that it will increase case life. Any opinions, thoughts, or input??? Thanks :)

I've been loading for my Rem 700 in .308 and I'm getting about 1-2 MOA. The free bore measures out to 2.955" From what I've learned, .020" off the lands will give better accuracy. With such a long free-bore, this isn't possible. My questions: What is the longest COAL anyone here has...

My question is: When switching between calibers, do other LNL AP users need to make pawl adjustments? I reload and shoot mostly 357 Mag and 45 ACP. Whenever I switch-out between the two, adjustments are necessary for smooth operation. Is this common, or have I just not found the "Sweet...

I just cast my first .38 cal boolits ever last night. All went well. I shot a couple hundred today and am very happy. Now I want to cast for .30 cal rifle with a gas check. My Question: I am looking for a .311 dia bullet. Is there a way to use a .309 mold and a the Lee .311 Sizer Lube Kit to...

Hello, I have question. I shoot Speer 158 gr SWCHP over 6 grains of Unique in .357 cases. I'm happy with the load. What is the danger of putting that same amount of powder in a .38 case? My Speer manual lists 5.2 as max for .38+P Every once in a while, when shooting from a LCR, the...

Anyone have information about 165 gr RNFP Cast Bullet, plain base, over Unique in 30-06? I bought some Missouri bullet .309s for my Marlin 336 Micro Groove. I need .311s and am considering loading these up in my Springfield 30-06. The Powder I have on hand is Unique. Any information...
