    Safety Protection: What equipment do you use?

    I'm still putting together my overall reloading kit. Among the particulars there's 18" welders gloves for when I cast my own lead bullets. See here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MRQAJG/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Thinking about getting something to cover my face as...

    Mossberg 590A1

    Choices, choices. I'm looking to purchase a shotgun for the first time, for the primary role of home defense. From what I've read, the 590A1 is about as tough as it gets but still has simple controls. I've fondled one in a LGS a while back, but was still doing comparison shopping. Thoughts on...

    Casting 223 From Molds?

    I've been doing a lot of googling on making my own bullet from lead casting molds. It seems that it is fairly common for various pistol calibers, but not so common for rifle ones. One of the concerns I read on some other web forum is that 223 bullets created from lead molds can often be very...

    Cheapest Powder for 9mm and 223 loads?

    Beginning reloader here, just checking in to make sure I don't order something that won't work with my objectives. For all of my personal protection roads, I buy factory ammo, and will continue to do so unless I was VERY confident of my abilities to make something of similar quality down the...

    10 Round AR-15 Mag: What sites have them in stock/fairly cheap?

    I'm in the market for dozen or so AR-15 10-round magazines. Just about every site I've searched out there doesn't have them in stock, or if they are in stock, they are crazy expensive. I'm okay with placing a backorder if the price is right. What vendors have you seen recently that will have one...

    California Citizens: Action Needed Today and Tomorrow

    The following is copied from an NRA ILA action alert I just received via email. (If you're not already signed up for the alerts, do so for your particular state, we must keep flooding the lines just as the anti-gunners are.) There are a LOT of very evil bills that are being introduced in...

    Newbie here, looking for some advice! :-)

    Hi all, I'm currently not a gun owner, nor did I ever intend to be just for the "sake of owning a weapon". Don't get me wrong, I'm not against those who wish to exercise their 2nd amendment rights, I just didn't think it was important to me. Well, sometimes your mind changes with time. Despite...
