This is more or less an expansion one the ".22 cal pellet options" thread from a couple weeks ago. That thread drifted a bit more towards long range shooting, so maybe this thread can build on that and have folks post up results with their rifle/pellet/slug combos. I initially said that my...

Since there's lately a good bit of action here in the airgun forum I thought this may be of interest to some. In case you haven't seen the hype over this new pcp rifle, I can tell you that it is not vaporware, the first batch shipped late last week, mine came in this past Saturday. The next...

Searched this forum and didn't see anything posted. Just in case you have a burning desire, JP is actually selling the Cazador! I have a feeling that all those cans and bottles in my garage still won't be enough to cover the cost though...

Gents, Just a theoretical question for you all and hoping someone knows off the top of their head. Looking at 9mm Luger loads shows that max pressure is in the ballpark of 33,000. A typical AR barrel is going to be rated around 62,000 for 5.56 Nato chamberings. Does anyone know the...

This question isn't a big deal, but I am curious about it. I have a known load in .223 using 53 grain bullets with 26.2 grains TAC. I've been shooting this load in an 18" stainless barrel, 1/8, 5.56 chamber, and I've been shooting this load for a few years now. Now, using the same upper...

I know next to nothing about the M1 Carbine, but the recent posts have gotten my interest up. A local shop has this listed but I have not seen it in person. The only information is that it's a used Plainfield M1, and the linked photo. The listed price is $500.00, your thoughts are...

Just in case you've been considering the buttstock options that ACE offers, but which have been out of stock for many moons - they're finally available again. http://riflestocks.com/store/product111.html If you aren't sure how it works, visit their home page for a slight overview of what...

I just recently picked up one of the 3-12X versions of this scope, with the Nikoplex reticle and rapid action turrets. It works pretty well and I like it. However it's replacing a Burris Euro Diamond 2.5-10X scope and the Burris has much better optical performance. In terms of clarity...

Gents, looking for your thoughts and opinions. I'm in the market for a new upper and unfortunately cost is big factor. I'm looking for sub MOA accuracy the lighter the better, though weight is not the overriding factor. I'll be running it with a 2.5x10 scope and an offset RDO, and all going...

Let's try a poll to quantify the AR reliability questions that seem to be bothering folks so much. If you vote for a mechanical failure in the rifle, please post a description. Same for a mag related failure. Ammo related failure - go ahead and describe that if you want to. For the...

Hey all, Got another question. I have a 6.5 Grendel upper that shoots well, but even though I have a nice RR NM trigger, I think it's too heavy for longer range accuracy use. I'm now thinking I should just spring for a bench type trigger such as a McCormick, Timney, and so forth...

OK, I recently have been trying out some soft point 55 grain bullets. My OAL has been all over the place with the same seater die adjustment. Finally figured out that the bullets are not consistent at all, primarily the soft tip is of varying lengths. If I target an OAL of 2.225, I can get...

Brass is LC 05, inspected prior to loading. H335 25.2 grains. 55 grain JSP at 2.225. It's a fairly normal load and I've shot a few thousand just like this one. So if you can see the photo, how serious a failure is this? The round fired normally, but did not eject, both pieces of...

Like a lot of folks, my eyes are aging, so with contact lenses I've been trading distance vision at the expense of close up vision. Of course, the aging process continues on and lately my vision isn't all that great either close up or at distance! So, holo type sights are great for me up...

I'm considering loading .223 for an AR. So I've been looking at component pricing and so far have not found any .223 bullets available anywhere. Anyone have a source that you're willing to share?

Anyone have any thoughts about or has tried to use the Alexander Arms Grendel 26 round mag with 7.62x39 cartridges in an AR chambered in x39? Seems like it could work, just wondering since a higher capacity x39 mag remains a problem...
