Looking for a budget rifle in .308 to learn and plink with while reaching out to 300 - 500 yards. How many rounds of normal pressure loads can I expect the barrel to last? I have read 3000 - 16,000 rounds with normal pressure .308 loads. Riiiiiiiiiight.........thats why I'm asking for real world...
New Reloader: Glock Bulge or Smile
I’ve learned through research starting my reloading journey that Glock’s and other semi autos have unsupported chambers. I now understand the only fully supported chamber is a revolver. Please don’t go there.
My question is: Why does Redding only offer their...
Overall this looks like a great package and Armalite seems to have a good reputation. Any thoughts from current and previous owners? Likes or dislikes.
The Armalite M15 - 18" Tactical seems to have the features I want.
18" barrel stainless steel barrel with a Cerakote finish and 1 in 8 twist...
It is OK to use .45 and or .50 cal bullets that are short and heavy for caliber in a .54 cal. sabot in a rifle with a 1 in 60 twist?
I have a Lyman Great Plains front stuffer in .54 cal w/ a 1 in 60 twist. I understand this is optimal for round balls. At the time of purchase I was a newbie to...
New to reloading using a Redding T7 Turret Press. Will be reloading pistol and rifle brass.
Just ordered the Sinclair / L.E.Wilson Stainless Ultimate trimmer w/ micometer to trim brass. Not the cheapest but it makes the most sense for my OCD relationship with repeatable accuracy.
As a...
Looking to store toys in a tube buried in the ground long term (years). I've done a lot of research of rust preventatives but not in this application.
I understand Ezox and RIG are great for normal storage. Will they work in this application. What about Mil-Spec Cosmoline?
Toys will be...
Newbie…..and I’m thinking it is. Please educate me as I don’t want to get blown up! My area is carpeted so it’s probably going to happen with walking and normal operations around and on the bench. I would like to shop vac the area and bench to clean up metal shavings, debris etc. Shop vacs cause...
A complete newbie to reloading.
A Redding T7 Turret press is what I will be mounting.
Can you guys post some pictures of your benches?
I'm thinking a bench that is 5ft long and 30" deep would be OK. Is this enough room for all the accessories? I want a birch or maple 1.5" - 1.75"...
I have a Ruger M77 MKII in 7mm Rem Mag w/ standard barrel purchased new in the mid 90's with the ugly and hard kicking black plastic "skeleton" stock. The butt stock is sort of hollowed out on the sides. If I do my part this rifle will group 1.5" consistently at 100 yards with several ammo...
I purchased a Ruger M77 MKII in .223 with a 1 in 12 twist in 2004 and have put around 200 rounds through it (55 FMJ).
I put NECG peep sight on it and is has been "soda can MOA" at 100 yards but now I want to mount an optic and wring out it's accuracy potential. Back in the day I was ignorant...
I have a pre-ban (purchased new 1993) Colt Match H-Bar with the A2 non detachable carry handle receiver. It works great and is sub MOA with the factory peep sights with good ammo from the bench if I do my part. However I want to mount an optic with back up folding front and rear sights...
NO Frog Lube for me!
I've read through the tests from Diyguy and I agree the lubricity and corrosion tests are extensive and I learned a lot. My reason for researching this topic was to find a slippery lube that reduces friction under 'pressure' lessening metal wear or galling. This is what...
