    buying in bulk?

    Buy in bulk, you'll easily find someone that will buy what you have left if you decide it's not for you. I cast my own 9 & 40 boolits = about 3 cents per 9mm round & 10ish in the 40. 9's tickle around 8 cents if I use any of the 11,000+ 9mm Montana Gold I bought a long while ago.

    How do I overcome the gross factor of field dressing?

    Agent-J, I was wondering about this very thing last week, although I could blast a BG standing at the foot of my bed without a second thought easier than Bambi. I went to YouTube and searched for field dressing and just watched to see what it took. I would like to go hunting someday.

    YIKES, thanks for reminding me about primers. I am down to about 23,000 left, thank god the Tanner show is next weekend in Denver. and 12 pounds of powder. About primers, I read someone uses Mag Pistol in the AR 15 .223, does that make sense?

    7.62x39 Question

    26.4 grains should give you 2350. According to formula I found online. Number of grains/current FPS * FPS wanted -10% 25.7/2289 = .0112719 * 2350 = 26.488965 - 10% = 26.3890. I know the 10% part looks weird, but that's how it works out in MS Excel. I seriously suggest starting at the low end...

    Bushmaster gas piston or gas tube?

    I took my AR to the range for the first time and had too many FTFs to mention, after I got home and opened it up it was pretty dry, from sitting on the shelf waiting for me to buy it. I think I'll oil the crap out of it and run some more through it. NOTE about the Bushmaster Chrome lined barrel...

    Oops - Cases deforming

    How far into the die

    Do the LNL New D. dies have a break in period? I have it set to all the specs that everyone is talking about and I am having a heck of a time with sizing brass, in that I really have to use some UMMMF to get the brass out of the die. I've seen the videos of people running through loads with no...
