From the notice: "ATF estimates that this rulemaking will have an impact on approximately 9,674 licensees or permittees" In addition to the above citations, this is clearly not rolling up reloading hobbyists.

^This. Norinco makes a modern 7.62x25 with a 10-round magazine, and can you believe they import them to Canada but aren't available in the USA???

12Bravo20 has used the word "maximum" in several posts referring to the EXAMPLE given in the ATF letter, when the word "maximum" is NOT used in the ATF letter in any context relative to that 6" - 6 1/2" length. If it were a maximum, they would give a maximum value and not a range. They go on...

Do you have a source for that length "requirement"? I was troubled reading the ruling that they said length of pull would be a considering factor in evaluating weapons but then gave no metric for it. Same thing with weight. On the form 4999 "checklist" that they abandoned, they had 10 1/2" as...

I didn't figure this belonged in the Legal channel where we have a good discussion going on the ATF ruling regarding pistol stabilizing braces. As soon as I read through the 293-page ruling last weekend, I ordered an Aero Precision pistol buffer assembly (i.e. the buffer tube is smooth with no...

Constructive possession wouldn't make sense for the brace. I could put said brace on any other rifle with a 16" barrel and it's just a rifle with a weird stock now, thanks to the ATF ruling. They even say you can keep the brace if you replace the barrel with a 16"+ barrel. They don't say "and...

I've spent quite a while now reading over the 293 page document. The one course of action, to remove the stabilizing brace and the adjustable buffer tube and replace with a smooth pistol buffer tube, appears to satisfy the rule (assuming no forward grips or grip stops, scope restrictions, or...

On my first reloading .32 ACP, many of my resized cases had little to no neck tension on my sized, powder coated cast bullets. I ordered a Lee undersize sizing die and that fixed my problem. Just mentioning it in case you experience this when you get to that stage.

I have never hunted hogs before but will have the opportunity to do a chartered hunt this summer in central Florida. I have a 20" 450 Bushmaster AR and factory Hornady 250 grain FTX ammo but am concerned I may want a tougher bullet. Any experienced folks here to advocate for this bullet or...

I went back and looked at several threads here for the .450 Mongo and several are locked for new posting, so here's a new thread. I'm not going to rehash the whole subject, basically using longer brass in .45 Colt/.410 chambered guns to get the bullet closer to the rifling than standard .45...

I just got my new Keter folding workbench today for use as a portable shooting table and it looks promising. It's not as stable as concrete, but a lot more portable. I got this one from Northern Tool because it was the only model that I saw with the extendable legs that give it the full 33.7"...

1895 Nagant revolver with .32 ACP cylinder - I'm too lazy to go take my own picture, so here's a nice one online already: https://www.alloutdoor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/nagant-32acp-2.jpg

I hunt with Lyman 525 grain slugs cast with WW alloy, bases filled and struck flat with hot glue, recipe from Lyman manual with a healty charge of Blue Dot. Out of my H&R Ultra Slug off a rest, it shoots 1.3" center-to-center groups at 100 yards. Pic shows 5 slugs, center is unfired and the...

You baited me, I thought this was a thread about reloading 44 Mag with Red Dot.

250 grain, XTP?

I load my .454 shells with the Hornady 240 grain XTP mag bullet, regardless. I was trying to gauge more the bullet performance range and not as much the gun applicability. All good info and I appreciate it.

I found more info in, of all places... my Speer reloading manual! They load this bullet up to 696 ft/sec in the 45 Auto Rim, 847 in 45 ACP, 941 for SAAMI 45 Colt, 1183 for "Ruger Only" 45 Colt (jives with BBarn's comment), and even up to 1786 ft/sec for 454 Casull. The 454 section specifically...

I can't find much of anything online regarding how this bullet performs on deer at various velocities, or what the velocity limit should be before it grenades. Hornady has a nice velocity range chart for it's XTP bullets, but I found nothing similar for Speer. I have the option to use these...

Wait, did Riomouse say he VACUUMS them up? I thought the residue from primers contained lead. So vacuuming them up blows lead dust everywhere and contaminates your vacuum. Am I wrong? They contain lead styphnate (sp?) https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/lead-in-primers.138308/

My three novice shooters were also trying to do what I'd told them to do on the pistols --> "Slow, easy squeeze on the trigger!" which made the problem worse. You're all right - it's not a target gun, I just didn't want them jerking the trigger.
