After 5 or so years of using moly coated lead 230 RN bullets in my XD45, I've finally exhausted my supply of components and I'm looking to restock. I want to get back into IDPA, and maybe even dabble in USPSA, so I need to take power factor into consideration when I work up my next load. For...

The corner of the basement that serves as my "reloading room" is in dire need of a makeover. At the moment it's just piles of boxes and totes filled with ziplock bags, and I need some ideas. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything on Pinterest - go figure. So please, share with me - how do you...

This is a practice that has irked me for a while, and reared its ugly head again tonight. A guy on a local forum posted a WTT (want to trade) ad, offer up a gun I've been looking for, looking for something specific in return. I PMed him and asked what his cash price for the gun was - he...

Question for those more knowledgeable than I - is .243 Winchester useful for anything besides hunting? I recently gained access to a 100-200-300 yard range, and I'd like to begin to built my medium distance marksmanship skills. My plan has been to buy/build a Remington 700 in .308 to my...

I started shooting IDPA because I conceal carry on a regular basis, and the IDPA practices and matches I attend seemed to be a fun yet effective way to train the practical skills I need to be effective with my CCW. We all know the running joke among IDPA shooters is that we're the only true...

Hi guys, I used to run a a Dillon XL650 reloading press, but I haven't reloaded in a few years and the press has been in storage. I pulled the press out this morning, and set it up, and it's a mess. So far as I can tell, it appears the station one locator is damaged, the shoulder washer...

My wife is a wonderful person. She is kind, caring, selfless and has a good heart. If the world was full of people like her, we wouldn’t have a need for locks on our doors. Unfortunately she is one of the most unaware, sheltered people I’ve ever met. Just to give you an idea of her...

I recently upgraded my workhorse firearm from an XD 45 to an XDm in the same caliber. I love the new gun, but was dismayed to learn (according to EVERY internet thread I could find) that XD magazines are NOT compatable with the XDm. HOWEVER, when I got the gun home, just for ****s and giggles...

I've always had a 'bug out bag' sitting in the corner, but it was more of a storage place for my camping gear than anything else, and I'd pull items out of it for daily use on a regular basis. Basically, it was crap. Recently I've put a lot of thought and effort into revamping not just the...

I'm trying to get some inexpensive (relatively) trigger time on my new M14, so I've been cruising the reloading components. I came across some super cheap M-160 108.5 gr bullets (green/white tip) which I think may do the trick. The problem is, I can find very little information on reloading...
