With the 1911 you really should be taper crimping, not roll crimping, and doing it as a separate operation from seating. Your seated and crimped case mouth should measure .470" There's nothing wrong with those bullets.

I have two regular Lee carbide sizing die sets that do not do this - as said, they are tapered, and produce volumes of perfect ammo.

It is not an argument, it is a statement of fact. There is no claim the AR is not lethal, any firearm can be. Nothing political on my part. The current public discussion would profit from more fact and less fantasy, more light and less heat.

I suspect this question goes to the current media descriptions of the AR as an unusually powerful large caliber rifle (I have personally heard these multiple times); it is neither. The 5.56 aka .223 Remington is what is generally considered a varmint and target cartridge, and it's anti-personnel...

Does anyone have the instruction sheet for adjusting this Ruger #1 set trigger? Installation is no problem, but I could sure use the adjustment info.

The original poster expressed concern for his son's face. The AR will not fire or slam fire out of battery unless a very high primer detonates early while being driven home by the bolt, highly unlikely but possible. An in-battery slam fire is just an unintended accidental or negligent discharge...

I don't see how the primer alone could have done that. Must have been a squib load of powder in there too. There is another explanation possible. You say you visually check each case before seating. A case with NO powder would really stand out. A case with a low charge in a block would be far...

There is a possibility to be considered here. With inappropriate too light loads of some slow burning powders, the initial primer surge and poor ignition due to slow pressure rise can cause the bullet to leave the case and stop after a short travel into the bore, as the fire ALMOST goes out. Now...

(Reply to comment on judgment and judgement) In this case, both are correct. It is not productive to lose (not loose) sight of the fact that words have meanings. If they don't, or we don't know them or proudly don't care, accurate communication becomes impossible. Expressions such as "being on...

You need not dictate that we will agree to disagree. We will not. You are mistaken.

Ruger went to investment casting as a conscious design and manufacturing efficiency decision, not from any lack of manufacturing capability. His #1 Single Shot receiver for example could not be internally machined by any process available at that time. What Remington pioneered back then was an...

Compared to "modern" guns, they are ammo sensitive. Use good 124 gr. factory or milsurp loads as a baseline before thinking you have a gun or mag problem. Most don't like cast bullets, and bullet shape is important. Handloads are fine if you keep these characteristics in mind and stick with full...

Can you cite a specific example where that might be true? And cite some technical sources for that conclusion?

"...........The Yankee Marshal's video on casting vs. forging and how S&W can make a gun of the same strength with less steel." That statement is the essence of the falsehood. S&W can't do that, and neither can anyone else unless there are fundamental design flaws in the Ruger, a possibility...

Until they repeal the laws of physics (Newton's Third in this case), the recoil starts as the bullet moves.

Why don't you think Burris would know the correct (and logical) answer? Oh heck, just go for it and turn it to the left. Let us know what happens.

Not so. Tactically oriented shooters such as Todd Hodnett at Accuracy First, and competitive shooters/ballisticians like Brian Litz are unconcerned about trans-sonic and subsonic changes. Predictable first round hits are normal with the .308 beyond well 1000 meters...

Don't know about the new Lyman, but the bore diameter of the old 94 will be too large to shoot ,375 diameter bullets well, if that 's what you're using. Traditional 38-55 groove diameter is .379. Cast bullets should be sized a thou or two over that...

Newsflash. Folks who carry for keeps cycle every round through their gun before it goes to work. Been doing it for generations. Lots of things can go wrong - you don't have to do it to yourself.
