    I'm going to use up the stock of the 75 HPBT bullets I have and then probably switch to a different, less heavy bullet.

    Thanks. I do think I have room to work up to at least 24 gr. I'll have to work some up and start the testing procedure.

    The Hornady Reloading App does have H4895, The max for it is 23.3 gr. But H4895 and IMR 4895 are not the same. This thread shows that one can go up to 24 gr with IMR-4895. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/hornady-75-gr-bthp-223-loads.789677/ I can increase OAL a bit. I measured...

    Dennis, thanks. Yes, I figure I have to work up a new load, but what I need to know and can't find out is what is the high load for IMR 4895 for the Hornady 75 Gr ain HPBT bullet?

    I've been using Hornady .224 75 gr BTHP Match in my Highpower match rifle, an Armalite AR -15 for years. I didn't fire for a couple of years and came back just after scopes were allowed. So I had the upper converted to a rail upper for the scope and took off the A2 stock and put on a Magpul...

    Safe Bottom Rusting

    After I made my post, I remembered I had a POR-15 kit I used on my Jeep. I'm right now in the prep process. I sanded off the heavy rust and there are no perforations. I went to Home depot and looked around for somethings to put the safe on. I came up with the instead of using the new...

    30 months in jail for broken gun!

    Well, you don't concede anything. You fight these laws from being made in the first place and once passed you fight to get them repealed. Howerve, once it is a law you don not violate it. It is not prudent to do so; nothing is helped nor gained by violating the law and you play into the...

    Did I overreact? My wife thinks I'm becoming a gun nut

    Well, you almost overreacted. Brandishing like what you wanted your wife to do is illegal in many places. In Michigan that would have got you in a whole lot of trouble, and rightly so. People who carry should always be calm and cool under stress and pressure. Only pull out a firearm when you...

    The Auto Ordnance Semi Thomposons

    Thanks guys. This is one I may put in my great deal category. Keep my eye out for the good deal, and buy it then. Don't need to rush out and get one.

    The Auto Ordnance Semi Thomposons

    Over the years I've looked at Auto Ordnances semi-auto Thompson. I don't have a M1 in my military collection because the real deal is just too much coin. I'm in MI and we can't own SBRs (but can own the full auto, go figure). So I may have to settle on one of the 16 in barrel Thompsons...

    Would you buy a modern carbine in... .30 Carbine?

    No. .30 Carbine is not a very good cartridge when compared to ones like .223. I'd take a carbine in .233. Heck I already have an M-Forgery.

    Volunteer Enterprises .45 Thompson "Clones"

    Any thoughts on the Volunteer Enterprises Carbines that look somewhat like Thompsons? I see one every now and then and look at them curiously. Any good? Prices? I see there are different models like the Commando 45, or the Commando V, or Commando Mk III. What are the differences...

    Mistaken crimp

    Since you did this to only one round, just dispose of it if you have any suspicion that it might cause problems or be dangerous. It cost you pennies, the weapon cost you $100s, your body parts are priceless.
