    Replacement Hornaday LNL

    Hello all, I am getting a new LNL today from Hornaday. I hope this one runs. I was so busy trying to get the other one to work I forgot to see what some "must haves" or "nice to have" items I could get for the press to make life easier. I have everything I need to reload but as far as new...

    Shell Plates

    So you have LNL....how do you like it? I have watched you tube in it's operations and read reviews but know of no one who actutally has one. Big blue rules around here.

    Shell Plates

    Yep, it looks that way. Oh well I can stick with the Rock Chucker. Hornaday even said it may be months before they are back on the shelves in the numbers to satisfy everyone. Sheeple. Shame.

    Shell Plates

    Well I was about to pull the trigger on a Hornaday LNL and read that it came without shell plates...well ok. I went to add them to my cart and there were none. I kept the window open and went to every site I could think of and nothing. What the heck is going on? Is that a part that breaks...

    Reloading for rifle accuracy

    I was using the same powder for each bullet; H335. The rifle is a RRA Predator LAR 15. My groups were average 1 inch or less at 100 yards with the 62 grain so using a bullet weight more in tune with the twist rate I was anticipating better than the previous results.

    Reloading for rifle accuracy

    Hello all, this weekend I took my .223 to test some loads that had increments of .3 grains from minimum to maximum, and was really anticipating great results. It's a 1x12 twist rate and not knowing any better I previously loaded 62 grain bullets and got 1 inch groups. Everyone said that better...

    Load data for .223 Hornaday 50 Gr., V Max BT

    I have three reloading books, Speer, Lyman, and ABC's of reloading, none had Hornaday 50 Grain VMAX, hence my post. Thanks to all for the replys. Since I use a lot of Hornaday bullets I may have to add a fourth book to my collection.

    Load data for .223 Hornaday 50 Gr., V Max BT

    Hello all, I can't seem to find this bullet in my books or the web. I've contacted Hornaday twice to no avail. I'm too new to reloading to wing it with data from other similiar bullets. Could someone point me in the right direction for load data for an AR and bolt gun. Thanks, C

    Cleaning a new barrel

    Hello all, I just picked up a Remington 700 5r Milspec in .308. I soaked a patch to run through the barrel and much top my surprise it came out black along with the following 15 patches. The patches looked like the ones that came out of a recently bought K98 RC with a frosted barrel. That one...

    Confrontations

    Asking for trouble packing in my grandpa pouch when taking those walks with my wife. Where am I suppose to carry it in my shorts and a tee shirt. When I was a kid older folks corrected my bad behavior and it was called a village. Now I still attemp to correct bad behavior but the courts and...

    Confrontations

    Hungry Seagull, hey I have one of those little pouches with a .357 SP 101, but still talk bigger than I walk. The wife even tells me you better be quiet or some punk will shoot you. I just reply, I practice every week and they don't. But hey that theory got dispelled in a thread here a few...

    Confrontations

    Hello all, I getting up there in years (and feeling every bit of it), and wonder at what point if any I could use stronger force on an attacker when threatened. Say a fit twenty year old threatens to kick my butt. When I was twenty I could easily kick my current butt. Do I simply take the...

    S&W or Taurus 1911

    I have one Taurus 1911 and 2 Smith 1911's. Hands down the Smith 1911's. The front sight was too high so I called Taurus CS and explained and they said "what do you want us to do"? I have used Colt, Sig, and Glock CS and never been asked that question. They all seemed to know what to do about...

    Alarm goes off at 2:19 am

    Will look into a panel in the bedroom. With the noise of the alarm and never having a false alarm before it was a pump to say the least. The false alarm was a low battery. In five years no false alarms. Batteries will be replaced, but really need a method to secure home. I don't think it's...

    Alarm goes off at 2:19 am

    Nothing exciting guys; false alarm. That has never happened with my system. Lesson; I have no clue how to clear a house. I was alone and armed with a Glock 21 with light. I had four bedrooms to clear, one den, one Florida room, living room, then kitchen to turn the alarm off. I felt...

    Reloading for a 7.62x51

    I was shocked for the good. I would not have thought a battle rifle with military brass would do that good, except for maybe a K-31 with GP 100. Thanks for the info gents.

    Reloading for a 7.62x51

    Hello all, I recently shot my STG 58 that was built by a gent from another board about 4 years ago. Yes it was in the safe for that long unfired. I scoped it for fun and went to the range with some Nato ammo. Well after sighting in, this gun shot four three shot 100 yards groups under 2...

    High Standard Supermatic Citation

    Well gents we had a gun show this weekend and finally found an old High Standard. The trigger would not reset and barely moved and the safety was stuck. It was filthy and the last lube had hardened and everything was stuck bigtime. Got an excellent deal considering. Later I took it apart the...
