I've considered the "to-carry-or-not-to-carry" question each time I traveled to NJ. On the one hand, get caught = go to jail. Period. On the other hand, you've got stuff like -- "Better to be tried by twelve than carried by six" -- "Guns are like parachutes- if you need one...

I've used someone from this site to do transfers in Austin. He's Class 3. Good guy, very reasonable prices. Do a Google search for Spreadfire Arms. He's up near Anderson Mill.

+1. hahahaha Was going to volley the same thing. Beat me to it. It's "la poo ah" here in Texas. From what I can gather that ain't proper Finnish, but, then, that doesn't much matter. It's "la poo ah" down here. Remember a particularly hot thread about this couple years back...

I'm certainly no physicist, but my attempt at an answer. First, maybe it's helpful to exaggerate the air resistance to illustrate the point. 1. Suppose the air resistance is so great that it instantly overcomes the horizontal velocity of the bullet and decelerates it to 0 fps. The bullet...

+1. Thought the same thing.

Perry's a big advocate of this. In a speech last year I heard him make several comments advocating for concealed carry on Texas' campuses. It was great to hear. I actually wrote him a letter to say so.

It’s a tough question. Of course, the touchstone of all crime is theft, including murder. However, it's hard to walk through the exercise of making value determinations. Example. My life is worth killing to protect, but not my pickup truck. Or my wrist watch. All seem to agree that...

Relatively new. I've owned it about 6 weeks. Fired maybe 50-60 times.

Tried a resizing method from the Barnes reloading manual. 1. Screw in die until it contacts the shellholder. 2. Back off half-turn. 3. Resize a case. 4. Chamber case into rifle (looking to feel a mild "crush"). If resistent to chambering, screw die in one clock position and resize...

Dies are stamped 338 lapua. Redding box reads "338 Lapua magnum, #18 shellholder, series: CUSTOM." Bullets are .338" (average measurements were .337-.338"; RCBS digital caliper). I think it was definitely a matter of setting the seating die improperly in the press. I very carefully...

PM sent. Thanks for your comments. The dies are Redding. Bought them used (no instructions/manual). Specifics: once-fired Norma brass, hornady sst 225 gr bullet, powder = 87,0 gr RL19, bullet seat depth = ~.570".

Also, if I were to decide to scrap the lot (only 20 rounds) and start over again with the brass, what is the procedure for doing so? Thanks.

As requested, here are some photos. Listening to the round as I shake it, it's clear there's still a lot of empty space still in the case. So I don't think it's powder compression that deformed the neck. Is it possible I had the bullet seating die at an improper height, and warped the...

I posted this elsewhere. Looking for advice/opinions. I'm a handloading newbie. I reloaded for the first time ever last night. I have a question about bullet seating and case bulge (and pressure). I was reloading for 338 lapua magnum --- 225 gr Hornady SST bullets, Norma brass, 87,0...

I think 338 RUM is comparable in recoil to my 338 Lapua Magnum. If so, I got one word for you: muzzlebrake. Is the 700xcr heavy barreled?

How long are the ranges at Austin Skeet & Rifle? I've been there a few times, but only ever for shotgunning. Looking for any range in Austin longer than 100 yards. I shoot most every weekend, but at Red's (south store, 0-100 yards). I'd like to reach out a bit more with my 300 WSM. And I...

I own HK USPc in .40 and .45 and Sig 220 in .45, 226 in 9mm and 229 in .357sig. I think the Sig vs. HK debate comes down to what feels best in your hand. Both are excellent pistols of comparable quality. They'll differ with respect to, say, how fast they "come up" to your eye (ie. draw to...

Need help deciding between two rifles. 1. New Savage 10FP or LNIB Remington 700P/PSS? 2a. What caliber (.308 vs. others)? The 10FP is .308 but Savage also makes a long action 110FP, and one of the Remingtons I'm considering is chambered in 300 Ultra Mag. 2b. Why is .308 seemingly the...

HAHAHAHAHA

I've been looking at safes in $800-1000 range. I've settled on Granite Security, made in Fort Worth, Texas. I've heard good buzz on them.
