    General reloading questions

    Hey all, I'm somewhat new to reloading but been very successful and having great results thus far. For the most part, I'm good as far as the whole process goes. I just have a few questions and I think I know the answers but would like to get a 2nd opinion from more experienced loaders...

    Where is everyone buying their precision calipers?

    Hey all, As title states, where are you buying calipers? I can go to Amazon and buy something & get it delivered the next day. However, with precision instruments, I would think buying straight from the manufacturer is best in order to avoid fakes. I went to mitutoyo website and it seems like...

    Optics Minox ZP5 3-15

    Hey all, Selling my ZP5 3-15. It's mostly brand new. I took it out once to a friend's ranch to do a bit of LR shooting and then it's been with me hunting a couple times. I rarely use the rifle this optic is on and the few times I've used it, I've realized more and more I do not really care...

    New virgin brass vs new factory ammo vs 1x fired brass

    Hey all, I'm starting this discussion to see if I can spark some conversation and maybe gather input from those who have been reloading for longer. Why is virgin brass tougher (in general when compared against fireformed or 1x brass) to get grouping small vs brass that's been shot already and...

    Suppressors Can anybody ID this suppressor?

    Hey, A good buddy of mine recognized this suppressor on a stock photo from KRG and remembered a buddy of ours having it and really liking it. I told him I'd be able to recognize it since he was curious on it but I actually don't know which one it is lol. Do any of you know which model it is?

    2004 cadillac deville 6 Doors worth anything?

    Hey all, I know, weird car. But there's one for sale in my AO and just because it's weird and odd I decided to take a look. It's super clean and well kept. It has sub 34,000 miles and clean title. They want $5000 for it. I'm thinking it might be worth it for re-sale. Check engine light is on...

    Will suppressor cover sliding forward act as crown or mess with groups?

    Hey all, I remember a thread not too long ago where a guy zeroed at 100 was impacting high at 200 without even touching turrets. I think this was the thread Frank mentioned a suppressor cover could act as a crown. Or maybe it was a different thread, but I remember this being mentioned. I've...

    First outing with my reloads...

    Hey all, I decided to hit the range with my reloads and see if I was good enough at both shooting and loading haha. I took my 18" grendel, 20" grendel, 6.5CM, and 223. Although for the 223 I just shot factory ammo so I can get once fired brass. Somewhere along the day, my garmin ran outta...

    How much should i pay to have a throat reamed longer

    Hey all, I have a rifle with an insanely short throat. It's an FN SPR with a custom 308 barrel and chamber. Previous owner said he had built it specifically for 155s. Regular factory ammo will not fit without jamming. Does anyone know what a ballpark figure would be to have it reamed out...

    Forster dies, how much to hone out?

    Hey all, I'm a fairly new reloader. I want to buy forster dies since they offer the honing for their dies, for an additional price of course. I tried calling 3 times already to see if I could speak to someone who could help me determine how much would be best. Every time no one is available...
