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...

I have put up recent posts about a 5 day salt water fog corrosion test and Eezox was the winner. RIG was not tested but was highly recommended by readers. I also put up a friction metal wear test in which Weapon Shield was the winner but I cannot find corrosion tests on it. I also learned Eezox...

First test: A 96 hour or five day torture test of salt water fog being circulated around the suspended metal blanks. Ouch, a real test! This test meets ATSM B117 Salt Spray Corrosion Test. The salt spray test is a standardized and popular corrosion test method, used to check corrosion resistance...

Not abusing our toys is the best thing we can do to prolong service life. Metal to metal friction is what wears parts out. I found this product by accident on youtube. It's called Weapon Shield by Steel Shield. I have no affiliation with them. After looking into the reviews on Midway USA...

I have a Glock Gen 1 model 23 purchased new in the early mid 90's. It has worked flawlessly & I have learned to use it well. However it does not have the interchangeable grip spacers (I have really long fingers), no double recoil spring (.40's are snappy) or a rail to mount a light or laser...

Will the Crimson Trace Laser grips (green) fit over the various thickness grips on the Glock 19 Gen 4's? I don't see anything on Crimson's site about the different thickness of grip spacers included with the Gen 4's and compatibility. Thanks!

Experienced shooter but have never loaded my own. The progressives proved to be a seductive mistress but I don't need to load 500 rounds per hour. As a newbie the progressives are intimidating any many seem to always have problems with indexing or this or that. Most seem to have an issue with...

I have a Marlin 336 I purchased used 25 years ago and it has been great. I honestly don't know how old it is. These features might help determine age. The hammer gets thicker as it gets closer to the receiver so I have not been able to find a hammer spur to fit. It has a straight no pistol...

An Armalite AR10 Tactical 18" or 20" rifle is the platform. Any mfgr suggestions for an adjustable gas block and why? Thanks.

New member, please help. I’ve decided I need more horsepower and an AR10 is in my future. The premium piston versions like POF, PWS, LWRC, Sig 716, and premium impingement versions like Daniel Defense etc. are out of my price range. I’ve decided on the middle of the talent pool direct...
