I re-sized some 30-06 to 8mm Mauser,Do I need to anneal these or any other prep? I did up 60 this last week and shot them, one neck split.They were all once fired. Could someone direct me to some good reading material on annealing brass?

I am considering re barreling a Mauser with a short chambered barrel. The one thing I haven't seen anywhere is how tight to make the new barrel. Any suggestions of reading would be appreciated .

I have my Indiana permit. It seems to be accepted as much as any other states,(so no "NEED" for a non res.)but would getting as many non res permits as possible help,or hurt our causes? If politicians look at numbers,i would think it would be helpful,but are there legal aspects i'm over looking?

This may belong in reloading,but... The indoor range i frequent USED to allow me to shoot my own reloads,or store bought ,or.... Now you have to use "total copper bullets".The reason i was told is EPA hassles and expences.Even the owner of the range is having a hard time getting enough of...

Can anyone point me to the facts of traveling with firearms in a motorhome?I've heard everything from"you need a safe"to"It's just like your house,they need a warrent to search it"

Say their was a massive shortage of smokeless(commercial)powder,and you had to make your own.....(Gubmit,aliens,strike,pick your poison)... How would one find.. A) the formal to make gun powder B) What ratios to modern reloading could one expect C) What weapons would best deal with "home...

Maybe it's geography,but i've never seen,heard of,or known anyone thats ever been harassed,thier dog shot,ticketed,or otherwise hassled without cause by the local LEO'S,county,state or town.Some of the younger ones(cops) may be a little gung-ho,but are still professional. Who/where else...

Other than,"neat,this load goes x fps"what do you use them for,and how do you adjust loads per data? This might sound niave,but i still have never varyed from winchesters load data/componets in my reloading,but i am starting to wonder if i can do better.....

There is a walton chapter that just opened 2 blocks from my house,and a buddy who just joined gave me the tour yesterday,nice range, club house,property,ect. Week days there is never anyone there,kinda "mine all mine",ya know what i mean. Any one have any clues what there political slant...

While i'm pretty sure i know the differance,i am having a bit of trouble relateing it to my 15 year old daughter(who's taken quite an intrest in high power,and my AR:D ). Maybe some of you can explain it better than i.

I've never even had a "close call" out in the field,but with more guys on the ever shrinking available land,it might be a good idea. What is out there that would protect against,say a deer slug that "got away"?

I shoot revolvers,mainly a Tauras tracker in 357.My first 20 or so shots are good,nice group,but then i start "stringing" verticaly. The more i try to correct this ,the more i string 'em. Any ideas that i could work on to correct this?

I've noticed a few folks from my neck of the woods here. Range officer told me other day,numbers have dropped to the point that closing of a couple ranges may be coming,more due to folks not signing in,than actual useage. Which do you use? What plus's and problems have you incountered? I...

Please explain a little about primers for me please. How much hotter is magnum,vs standard? Whats the differnace between rifle and pistol,(i ask because one Win. recipe calls for small rifle primers,with 296). For accuracy,is there a "best" primer to use?,like match bullets? What pro's and...

Do you clean the case lube off your finished rifle bullets? I've just started reloading for my AR, and with all i've heard of keeping it spotless,seemed like i should.I am using a rcbs lube pad,and they feel sticky when finished. What do I use,rubbing alchol? Do you lube every case,every...

While at the range today,a fellow was talking about his new remington,and how it had electric primers,at first i thought he was pullin my leg,.. What is the advantage? Would one go off from say,static?

I have a dillion 550,and have only loaded 45 acp's on it so far. I just bought everything for 223's,and set up for them. The bullets are not tight in the throat of the brass.Snug,but a little pressure and they move. I've been using win.'s powder and specs. The crimp die is all the...
