    Glock bulge or smile

    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...

    Opinons on Armalite M15 - 18" Tactical?

    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...

    .54 cal. sabot 1 in 60 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...

    Trimming and deburring

    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...

    underground storage rust prevention

    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...

    Is static electricity dangerous w/ reloading?

    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...

    Reloading bench set up advice?

    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"...

    Hogue stock opinions Ruger M77 MKII?

    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...

    .223 bullet choice 1 1n 12 twist?

    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...

    Which AR flat top reciever to buy?

    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...

    Is it OK to mix gun care products?

    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...
