    Gunsmithing steel casing for ar-15 rounds jamming

    I have recently purchased my 1st ar-15 rifle, DPMS Panther. I was shooting Wolf ammunition which was steel-cased and after only 6 rounds the rifle jammed w/ a live round in the receiver. I was able to extract the round w/ help from DPMS's tech's over the phone. They said not to use the steel...

    Most productive way to expend 50 handgun rounds.

    Times are tough, money is tight, blah. I figure most handgun ammo comes 50 to a box, so I want to base a practice COF off that. I have been looking a different drills and stuff to get an idea of what one should look like. I mixed/mangled a couple together tonight to try out. Here is what I did...

    Gunsmithing 7mm RSUM Barrel Burn out 570 Rounds

    A friend of mine burned his 7 mm RSUM barrel out in 570 rounds the bore scoped photos look like a 6.5 x 284 barrel after 1000 rounds, stress cracking etc. He is thinking about a coating. Salt-bath nitrocarburizing by Melonite, nitride coating or it has been suggested by several metallurgists...

    Bullets were fine, now keyholing after 150 rounds?

    Anyone ever have this happen before? I've been shooting 105 AMAX bullets from my factory Rem 700 .243 with 26" 1:9.125 twist barrel since I got it and they seemed fine, but after about 150 rounds through it, I had a few keyholes with the starting loads of retumbo which were fine before. Some...

    When David Ives had the chance to go to the range with a customer last week to shoot one of the new rifles, this customer was no stranger to the Windrunner Model 06. He was actually the very same person that was responsible for loaning the Nemesis to the Marine Snipers at the Mountain Warfare...

    Tumbling loaded rounds to clean sizing lubricant

    I've heard very negative things can happen when you tumble loaded rounds. Not from them "going off" in the tumbler, but because the tumbling action can act as a mill and change the powder, instead of a rod powder you can end up with a fine ball dust powder adn the burn rate is extremely high...

    Old rimfire rounds found in my field

    I am not sure as to where I should post this. You guys in rimfire seem to me to be the more dedicated followers of helping people like me so I will put my post here. I do archaeological research in my local area and have in the past been more interested in lithic, {made from rocks or stone}...

    22 LR subsonic rounds

    I've been using Remington's 22 subs for awhile now. Performance is okay for a sub-round, but I'd like to find something with a heavier grain. Any suggestions?

    Gunsmithing Issues with going from WSM to 308 rounds on a M70

    Traded my bolt off my M70 WSM for a standered bolt face one. Wondering if there are any issues in this transition. I currently feed from AICS mags and CDI bottom metal. I will be keeping it that way. Any issues I should expect?
