    Sidearms & Scatterguns Replacement sights for sig p229.. Question

    I just traded for a P229 Elite. After shooting consistently low I researched and came up with the fact that the sig sights are "combat" sights. This requires the target to be behind the front dot. As opposed to level with the top. I want to replace the combat sights with a traditional set. Can...

    RCBS hand primer

    I have a RCBS and it's a POS. I bought a Hornady and I think it's actually worse. I guess I will have to spend the money next time.

    I shopped all over local for either the X1 or R3. Couldn't find either so I ended up with a Stag 3G. I hope the stag shoots as well as the RRAs do

    Reloading kits. Which one should I buy?

    If I were doing it over I wouldn't buy a kit. I would find the press I wanted and then add all the other parts. The scale and the press is the only thing we use out of our original kit. We have upgraded everything else and we currently want to upgrade the scale. So, but the press you like and a...

    Thoughts on cutting a 24" barrel vs buying another barrel

    I am considering selling my AR and just starting over. However, I could have the barrel cut and re-crowned a little cheaper than 150. Those prices were threaded with a protector. Decisions decisions. Lol

    Locating 168gr FGMM

    Not sure if your gun is like mine but mine shoots the fgmm real well and shoots the hornady TAP 168 even better. Might be a thought if you can't locate the fgmm. Of course the taps might not be available either??? Good luck

    Thoughts on cutting a 24" barrel vs buying another barrel

    How long is safe for the rifle length? 20-22"??? To change the system I would just need to get a different gas tube? Assuming the gas block was the correct diameter I could use it correct?

    308 168 gr SMK. Need some load data

    I tried 44, 44.3, and 44.6 all three shot under .750. Oddly enough the middle load had the largest group. 3 shot groups at 100. 44- .692" 44.3- .750" 44.6- .642" Should I go up to 45?

    Range Report Two Questions: Recommended 308 Ammo and Where to Buy?

    I like the Gold Metal Match. With Sierra Matchkings. My gun also shoots the Hornady match in 168 real well. A lot of guns like the AMax but mine likes the SMK better. Good Luck. I just started reloading. When I get my load developed I will have 6-8 boxes of GMM to sale.

    Newbe. Can 80 gr SMK'S be loaded for an AR mag?

    I don't have a Sierra book so I couldn't check but I knew from the way it looked that 2.25 was too short for that bullet. Thanks for all the advice! BTW I have a Rem 700 sps tactical .223 with the 20" barrel and 1 / 12 twist And a RRA AR with a 24" 1 / 7 twist barrel. Anyone have any good...

    Newbe. Can 80 gr SMK'S be loaded for an AR mag?

    I just got a reloader and bought some 80 gr Sierras I have about 15 loaded up but they just don't look right. That is why I started trying to research. I'm glad I asked now because I was going to shoot them today. I guess I can buy a bullet puller now. I didn't have a Sierra book to look at. Thanks
