Don't really want to send it back to Ruger, as I would have to remove the Voquartsen trigger & sear and Tandem Cross loaded chamber indicator replacement & hammer bushing. Ruger likes to return everything back to factory specs. FWIW I've had this action work done nearly as long as I've had the...

Hello all, I have a Ruger MK III and I would like to know what is the tolerances/dementions of what the chamber should be, and what would be the easy way to check this? The reason I ask, is that I get a lot of split cases, some to the extreme that go all the way down to the rim, but most do...

I'm a bad boy too! Have always left powder in my hoppers of my Dillon 550B, untill I choose to change powders. Then it gets dumped into its original container, and so on. I have two hoppers for my Dillon and pretty much use one type of powder for each, that was till lately with the powder...

Here's an interesting web site: http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/ You may be interested in looking at. LM

Hello all, Looking at changing the barrel on my AR-10 (7.62x51mm/.308WIN) as I'm mostly going to shoot it from the bench, so I have accuracy on my mind for longer ranges. I'm thinking a 22" or 24" heavy barrel but can't decide, so any thoughts on that? Also what company has a reputation for...

I've seen TAC it at my LGS, matter of speaking I was just there and their powder list had 9 one pound jugs of it. Other powders like RL-15, Varget, or CFE is always gone. LM

In reguards to the original poster, I must be in the minority as I own 3 of them and like them quite well. I will agree with the triggers as they seem to be all over the board. My first M&P (also my carry gun) is a .40 S&W compact, and I have a full size 9mm, also a full size .40 V-TAC model...

I briefly had a XRS-9, but it wouldn't function right, from the day I got it. Had bullets getting pulled, and I'm not talking my plated reloads which Boberg has said not to use, but factory Speer Gold Dots. Although this was not the deal breaker as I could re-crimp my ammunition to handle the...

Just posting to let anyone know that I loaded some rounds using those 180 gr. Bronze Points by using data from different brands of bullets, but of similar style, all 180 grains and using the same powder. I decided to go with IMR 4895 using 40.0 grains. My cases were Lake City, trimmed at 2.005...

steve4102 if not a short cut, just a starting point, or range in which to work with. I can and do usually work up a load starting with the start grain data and adding .4 to .5 tenths of grain per 5-10 rounds till I get near the max data. I start with the lowest charge with a crony setup to...

Thanks for the replys, I fired a few test rounds today using mid-range jacketed data. Had no issues, shooting them in two different pistols. LM

Yeah steve4102 thats what I will do if I can't find anyone with actual experence loading these specific bullets. I only have 75 of these and don't want to waste a bunch working on a good accurate load. Not all 180 gr .308 bullets will shoot the same using the same powder charge. So if I could...

Hello again, I bought these bullets at a local gun show from an old guy selling off some of his reloading supplies. The yellow plastic box with Speer colors of Gray, black & yellow label on it says; "10mm 180GR .400 plated hollow point bullets" Are these really plated or are they jacketed? As I...

Hello all, I have some 180gr. Remington Bronze Point bullets, and want to know if there is an accurate load (long range target shooting) for them in my AR-10/.308-7.62x51? I have no spicific data for that paticular bullet in any manual I have, so was hopeful someone here has used them with good...

If this helps with your decision, I have a shootin buddy that has a TC with 3 barrels, ( .22 LR, .357 mag, & 45-70 ) he was not allowed to shoot the 45-70 in the indoor range of our gun club, as it is considered a rifle cartridge (club rules). But he wanted to go beyond the max of what the...

Here's my perspective on having a FiveseveN pistol, I bought mine 6+ years ago at a more reasonable price ($800.00) as they are now selling for around $1200 or more. I bought lots of ammo when it was $18 a box of 50 ct. also now going for $30 or more a box of 50 ct. I've also learned to reload...

I only use 2.5 grs. and it works fine in my Sig 238. LM

To the original poster, "At least you had your pistol" I on the other hand, went all day thinking I was armed, but that was not the case. Before leaving the house that morning I had the sudden need to use the bathroom, where I laid my pistol on the top of the water tank, and thats where it...

Don't know exactly what your asking for but for worst placement for a manual safety on a semi-auto pistol, I'd pick Styer M series pistols. For me if I had it engaged and only had one hand available to shoot it, I'd be screwed. I would have to let go of my shooting grip to dis-engage it. LM

The only data I found is from a Alliant pamplet Reloader guide; For Alliant 2400 powder using a 90 grain LWC bullet, Fed small pistol primers, and a OAL of 1.180 out of a 5 inch barreled revolver, they used a max charge of 6.2 grains (Alliant 2400) with a velocity of 1.150 fps. having 20,400...
