question

Hello All, I have always wondered about the Thommy Gun pistols. They look like a fun little range toy, and I have a chance to get one from a friend for cheap. I have one of the Auto Ordnance semiautomatic PCC Thompsons, and I love it. Especially with the Howell spring system. The stock springs...

I see two typhoon defense websites, one is spelled defence, is one of them not legitimate?

I recently heard about, and I’ve been doing some reading on Lubing bullets with HBN. This was with match bullets in the application I was reading about. I was just curious if anyone has done so. It sounds good in theory if somewhat cumbersome.

https://atlasworxs.com/shop/atlasworxs-bottom-metal-dbm-aics-howa-1500-weatherby-vanguard-sa/ I’m curious if anyone has any experience with these? Legacy has one, so does mdt, but if I can use a more “universal” mag instead of something proprietary, I’d like it better.

I have two rifles that I’m feeding. Both are 308 Winchester. Both are 1:10 twist rate. Both are bolt action. But one of them (mine) has a 26” barrel. The other (my brothers) is an 18” barrel. I’m wondering if more velocity could be gained by using a bit faster powder in the shorter barrel. I’m...

Hi all! I'm looking for a laser/flashlight combo for a rifle that takes AA batteries, but I can't seem to find anything. I did see EOTech used to make one called the WL1 AA, but it's been discontinued. Does anyone know of anything similar to this that I can still buy? Google is being no help at...

I am endeavoring to work up a load for 250 savage using sta ball 6.5. I have found data for a 115 brain Nosler ballistic tip, and a 100 grain soft point. I’m wondering, does anyone have any information with a 110 grain Hornady FTX bullet? I have some data using other Powders, but I was just...

I was getting some old cans ready to get scrapped the other day and saw a split case on the corner of my bench. Just wondering, anybody here save it to scrap out?

I've been looking into getting a new optic for my AR-15, it currently has a Vortex Strike Fire Gen 1. My price range is about the same as a Holosun 510c. Which is one of the optics that I'm looking at getting, but I don't like the shake awake feature because it uses a lot of battery life. The...

My deer rifle is torn down, getting “remodeled” so my daughter will be able to shoot it/hunt with it when she’s older. So, I’ve saved my pennies, and I’m after a rifle. I’m also working on another”Big Bang” build, so this one will be just my hunting rifle. Mostly deer, with the possibility of...

I'm shooting a 250-3000/savage built on a Mauser action (96 I believe) . It currently has about a 1:12 twist barrel. It doesn’t stabilize anything over 100gr very well. I’m planning on rebuilding the rifle for my daughter to hunt with (shorter stock, safety lever conversion, trigger etc) and I’m...

I finally found the four small pistol primers that I lost the other day. They turned up in my steel pin tumbler at the end of the cycle when I separated the pins from the casing. Yup. Found them. Wet. Dripping. Still good looking and intact. I know it's just four SPP but as you know they are...

Hi. While cleaning my relatively new (400 rounds through it) .45 cal Uberti 1873 Cattleman II single action revolver, I noticed a notch in the hole that the firing pin goes into that seems to indicate that the firing pin is striking the edge to some degree. I've attached a picture. I'm new to...

Or is it??? I don't know. Hi guys, I am brand new to reloading. I just got my press last week and I've been reading through the manual it came with and I picked up another that's specific for the caliber I want to reload (44 mag). I plan on reloading for my marlin 1894 first. It's new and I...
