I've used all the majors over the last 35 or so years and will take Winchesters over the others for general loading. They seat a lot easier and I get fewer marred or crushed when using a RCBS hand primer seater. I like CCI for 223 and Federal Gold Medal for target loads but for all around...

The fact that he offered information that he was not a resident and might get turned down points to an ATF sting. If someone is going to a show in another state to descretly buy a gun, they probably aren't going to wear a sign saying " illegal gun purchase wanted" - they also aren't going to...

I may invest in some nickle and some other good quality cases and save the mil surp for the autoloaders, which has to be full length sized anyway. I'll see if I can find some of the colored dykum pens individually and see how it holds up- so far found online only by the case.

Thanks for your reply depoloni, like you, I've been using sharpies for years , so yes your right they are easy and convenient. I have a whole color code system to indicate type of load etc. I have even used paint pencils to color around the extractor groove and paint bullet tips, strippers etc...

I have a few rifles of the same caliber and in the past just full length sized my cases, Now I want to neck size for my 308 bolt guns and would like to keep their brass separate. In the past I have used markers or rim paint or other methods to mark various loads but that usually comes off in the...

Military bases and other federal buildings such as court houses and the post office do not normally allow ordinary citizens to carry a firearm in - even CCW holders. Now there are exceptions, where I work they have a skeet and rifle range open to the public and they allow you to bring one in for...

They may say that they only keep the records for 60 days but remember - they are also required to back up their computer data nightly and data is put on archive tape weekly for long term backup and recovery purposes (required by law and policy) Depending on the classification of the data, it has...

Since metric are much more plentiful and cheaper than inch I would bet that they are metric.

Oh No !! I just checked the link and the special pricing is gone! It was $59 earlier today and it said till supplies are gone - Just the sling alone is now $59 sorry guys - looks like they pulled it!

I have been looking for a versatile sling and after much research one of the top picks was the SOC-C Blue Force Gear contractor pak. I hesitated because the list price is $90 and the lowest street price I could find it at is $80 or thereabouts. Well today I decided to bite the bullet and...

My local shop has them but they're $45 a k - price gouging if you ask me

From what I am reading today in some inet forums, the outside turner will true the case necks while inside reaming will just make the hole larger, thus if the wall thickness is uneven it will remain so. Not good for accuracy. I am beginning to be more inclined to blow them back out to 308 and...

I switched from AA to Vhitavouri, seems to be cleaner

That is exactly what happened - I just wen out and pulled a few and put them in the case gauge - stuck out, Took my die, lubed a fired 243 case and sized it - checked out perfect. Resized the bad case without the decapper and checked its fit - OK, put the decapper/expander back in and resized it...

What a timely thread - I just discovered about 200 .243 loaded rounds I have that fail the chamer length guage! Long of the story- I recently bought a new 700T 308 and was sighting it in. Some of the reloads using military cases wouldn't chamber. I bought a cartridge length gauge and discovered...

I use the PACT competition timer with chrono function and the control unit with readout stays safly on my belt. I have shot my screen arms on a few occasions. These are well worth the $ if you reload and develop loads for different guns. Its interesting to see the differences in load data...

When I am working up loads I use a black sharpie and mark right on the brass case - either the bullet grains+powder+charge (IE: 55gr23.5A2230) or I just mark a sequence # on each and put the load on a chrono range sheet. For quanity in boxes or baggies I either write on the box/bag or I...

I often see what I think is a large center hole when picking up brass at the gravel pit and using sunlight to look down the case but only to find it is berdan - I think the forming process leaves something that looks like a hole but isn't. I've broken a few pins with that mistake - now I use a...

A lot of my FAL mags have holes as do Glock, XD and numerous other mags. These don't seem to cause problems. mags have numerous places dirt can get in, such as the follower and floorplate areas. The use is not to check ammo while in a shooting situation but when picking up a mag that may be only...

The Pmags are great and the ones with a window are sorta nice but of course they cost more. The ones without the window have three dimples where the window is on the other. It would be a simple matter to drill these out and make your own ammo check holes. This can be done on the USGI mags as...
