I'm going to go ahead and join the NRA next week, probably with the current 3 year / $70 deal, and I'm trying to figure out which magazine to get. I'm not a hunter, so I have the choice narrowed down to American Rifleman or America's 1st Freedom. I've been able to browse Rifleman at my rifle...

I sat down at the puter, almost logged on, then decided that I'd run 50 pieces of 308 brass through the sizing die. Well, 50 turned into 100, then 150, then 200, which when added to the 50 I did as a demonstration to friends last night is half the brass I was given a little time ago. I get...

When the bullet travels through the barrel, does the part of the bullet that contacts the rifling become elevated in temperature? If so, any idea how hot it gets?

I'm planning a trip to the range with a friend who has never fired a weapon before. We're going to be doing long arms only. Calibers include 22 LR (of course), 223, 308 and maybe the M44 flame thrower for dusk. I might also bring along the 12 gauge for slug fun. How do you guys go over the...

Currently open carry is illegal in NY. NYC is even worse. What sort of ruling would be required from Heller to make it possible to overturn the NY "no open carry" law? Other than carrying openly and being arrested, how would one gain standing to challenge said law in the event Heller makes...

Bullets are getting expensive. I don't know if I'll be taking the plunge, but the prices sure do have me thinking about getting into casting my own. Could I get some advice on on what is involved in getting started? My plans are to do 45 ACP mostly also with some 44 mag, 38 / 357 and maybe...

I think that I will be able to pick up a Lee 100 series progressive press for stupid cheap (under $50) soon. It's going to need a little cleaning and TLC. Is the online manual sufficient for a disassembly / cleaning / reassembly or is there a better place to go for such information?

I have a neck die kit for my 308. I recently came into a bunch of once fired brass from a different gun, so I went to get a 308 FL die. Turns out that getting a single die from RCBS or Redding is more expensive than the kit from Lee which includes a factory crimp die. I do not currently have...

If I made a wooden box to put my tumbler in and then hooked up a shop vac with a HEPA filter, would this reduce the lead exposure to me?

What is the difference between a small base die and a small base type S die?

I have spent the past two bullseye pistol (indoor) seasons focusing on trigger control and have started seeing things come together. I shoot a Ruger 22/45 for that game. Well, I went out to sight in my 10/22 for 100 yards from prone and my trigger squeeze is horrible. Is the stock trigger...

Would it help 2A by having a grassroots call for mandatory gun ownership? After all, that's how it is in Switzerland and they count years per gun homicide not gun homicides per year. Therefore, forcing everyone to own a gun must reduce gun violence.

Situation: There are two shopping centers across the street from each other and they share a common traffic light as an entrance / exit. I am on my way back to work after lunch (1st shift, middle of the day) and am unarmed (work policy, no weapons, not even in parking area). I am approaching...

I'm thinking about getting one of these and am interested in knowing what the max metered charge is. A simple cc reading would be great. I looked at the Lee website last night but was not able to find an answer. Thanks!

I'm planning to build an AR this summer and am totally overwhelmed. This is worse than going to the Chinese restaurant and being afflicted by Chinese menu syndrome. I live in NY, so the ban is still in effect, so I will be getting a crowned barrel without any other doo-dads like flash...

If I am reloading once fired LC brass from the mid-late 70's (presumably 5.56) with 223 dies, will a 223 barrel work? Thanks!

Is the HF spotting scope better than no spotting scope? Here is a link to the item. Thanks!

I have three choices and I'm not sure which to go for first. I like putting holes in paper and am still learning to make the groups get smaller. I don't hunt at this point. The three choices are an AR, a CMP Garand or a 45/70. Going for an AR, I'd try to find a stripped lower at the...

Using a hip holster or shoulder rig, the piece will (under normal sedentary conditions) always be pointed barrel down. When pocket carrying, once you sit down, the piece is very likely going to be pointing at someone if you're in a public place like a restaurant. What sorts of safety...

A friend of mine has one of those reloading kits that you need to use a hammer to beat things into place with (I don't remember the name at the moment). Does anyone know if the dies for that system have a common thread so as to be also used with a press? I'm giving some though to getting him...
