    Anyone else having issues with Hornady EZJect system?

    Was having some problems with my Hornady LNL and sent it off to Hornady to let them work their magic. While they had it I had them install the new EZJect subplate on. Is anyone else having problems with it? Every shell gets hung up on it and I have to manually pull the new bullet into the...

    Hope this isn't a stupid question - traveling with a gun

    I am wanting to bring a handgun on a trip I am taking to a different state. I will be flying and while I know it's a big time "no-no" to carry on a plane can I pack the gun in checked baggage if it is dismantled? I thought about FedExing the gun to my parents home but I think that isn't legal...

    Shemaugh

    I hope I spelled that right ... shemaugh .... those middle eastern looking wrap things that go around your face or head I guess. At any rate, is there any good purpose for these in everyday life? I was at a shooting school a little while back and two young bucks (early 20's I think) were...

    Nornady decapping die question

    Not sure what is going on but over the past 10-12 months I've bent the zip spindle on two of my .223 and one .45 decapping dies. For those not familiar with Hornady decapping dies anatomy the zip spindle holds the actual decapping pin and that is held in place by a expander decap retainer that...

    .223 case crimping

    Tried the THR search feature but for some reason unknown to me I keep getting a totally blank page. All I would like to know is if crimping .223 cases is necessary.

    Range report: XDm 3.8 .40 caliber

    Had a wonderfully sunny and warm day here in the Pacfic "Northwet" to go put 120 rounds down range with my new handgun. In the hand it feels just like any other XD with the exception of the grip being a bit more "aggressive" in terms of its surface texture. I tried all three backstraps that...

    Any thoughts on this red dot optic

    http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=179627 I can't decide between this optic (which is considerably less expensive) and the Burris Fasfire II to put on my Beretta CX4 Storm. Thanks for your opinions.

    Help me solve a problem: LnL issue

    Reloading .223 in a Hornady LnL press. When I raise the ram so the case activates the powder drop I hit a point where something is hanging up such that I have to add a fair amount of pressure to get the case to activate the powder drop. It feels like something is "hanging up" or binding and...

    Powder question

    When I finished up all my reloading from last spring I inadvertently left enough Titegroup in my hopper to load up about 75-100 .45 rounds. My reloading gear is in my garage where temps can fluctuate in the garage from "to damned hot" to "wow it's chilly out here" and I am certain humidities do...

    Can you "refresh" old tumbling media?

    Just so you know I did do a search but obviously didn't have any luck on this topic. After re-sizing used 5.56 brass and tumbling it to get the lube off after several hundred cases the media starts to get pretty dirty. In the past I've just tossed it. But is there something a guy could add...

    new brass prep question

    Just curious what you guys think about the need for brand new brass prep. Just received some brand new Winchester brass in 5.56. Is there a need to run it through a sizing die or do you think I can just start it through the reloading process?
