    Is this nessesary?

    Siscoe, here's where it seems a lot of us are coming from: There is a SUPPOSED to be a delineation between the standing military, which, under Posse Comitatus, is NOT supposed to operate (in a non-training capacity) within our national borders, and the police, who are tasked with enforcing...

    Is it my press or my die? .009 runout

    Mr. Bodywerks, sir, with all due respect, take one of the turret plates for your Lee, and put it in there. Now wiggle the plate side to side and in a rotary motion... You see the VISIBLE amount of movement in there? That's nearly 100 thousandths of SLOP in your loading process, or +/- .050 if...

    Reseating pulled bullets, brass tension same?

    Red, pulling bullets will indeed change the tension of the necks of your brass. How much depends on the age of the brass, and how work hardened it is (firing, resizing). If you've got a neck size die, pull the decapping pin and hit those bad boys up. If you're not neck sizing (i'm not except...

    Compressed Loads

    Sorry to drag an old thread up from the depths, but I'm facing a situation where I'm going to need to run compressed loads in my gas gun... What percentage of compression is safe before you start breaking kernels of double-base powder and effing up your burn rates (double base powders having...

    Berger 168 Target VLD question

    I've searched to no avail, so I'm asking you all: The chamber on my DPMS SASS is 3.04" OAL to put the ogive on the lands, plus a few thousandths depending on how hard I'm pushing. I'm mag length limited to 2.845" (but probably won't exceed 2.840") and I'd like to seat Berger 168 Target VLDs...

    Gunsmithing Picatinny Rail on Round FF Handgard

    Re: Picatinny Rail on Round FF Handgard Thanks, John! Any recommendations for attachment hardware? will it be burly enough to just tap holes into an aluminum handguard or should I procure something to put inside the handgard for support?

    Triangular Shaped Groups

    Re: Triangular Shaped Groups Customgun1, this brings up the puzzling part for me: I put down 3 groups, each about 1.3 grains more powder than the last, each within about .2" of each other overall in terms of group size. Slowest in the middle, medium all around, and fastest was the largest...

    M1 Garand. H&R or Springfield?

    Re: M1 Garand. H&R or Springfield? I ran across a lengthy dissertation on the contractors for M1 and M14s, they were in favor of the H&Rs over the Springys for the same reasons Sinister mentioned. My M14 (yes, I know, different rifle) is H&R barrel and bolt, sprinfield receiver (modern)

    Options for 7.62/308 battle rifles

    Re: Options for 7.62/308 battle rifles I've owned several FALs, all frankenstein-ed together. They shoot reliably, but reliably inaccurately unless you put some work into them. Toughest battle rifle package out there, bar none and for hogs/shtf you probably can't do better. Depending on...

    Re: Hoping rifle when shooting with a bipod... ...I guess I'll have to find the sweet spot and learn how to not over-load the bipod.

    Advanced Marksmanship Hoping rifle when shooting with a bipod...

    Re: Hoping rifle when shooting with a bipod... This is an intriguing subject, considering the amount of issues I have with it. -LL, how does one with a Harris bipod 'fix' the issue of that brand not having any slack to take up? I'm not entirely sure, but it seems like my GG&G suffers from...
