      EOTeck Backlog

      I have been after an EoTech 512 for my new patrol rifle as well. According to my LGS late last week, they are currently working on fulfilling some sort of gov't contract and there is no indication as to when they will be in...idk how much of that is true, but it's the word on the street here...

      Reflex sight with 3x to 4x magnification?

      So, I will be looking at an optics rig for an AR very soon. As I understand, Aimpoint and EOTech both make a dot reflex 1x with a 3x or 4x additional optic. I am totally new to the world of optics and want to make sure I am looking at it correctly. I want a reflex rig that will reach out and...

      reloading component availibility

      Mcdonalds in Marion. Had em last week. I'd call ahead but he had more than a couple lbs when I was in.

      Hornady 158 grain lswc-hp

      Agreed with the general consensus...I will stick with my jacketed 357 mag rounds. I currently use 16 grains of h110 under a 158 grain Hornady xtp. Nice load and the rifle eats up most of the recoil...I'll use those lswc in 38sp cases. Just scored a pound of unique so I think I'll work up a...

      reloading component availibility

      Bullseye and Unique 1lb cans at McDonald's in Marion this afternoon. Scored 1 of each for 26 bucks apiece, and there were probably 4 or 5 lbs of each left.

      Hornady 158 grain lswc-hp

      Thanks, oldpink. I'll load up a few blanks and see how they cycle. The Henry doesn't seem to mind 38sp cases which, as I understand, cause some lever guns fits. I have loaded a bunch of plated target loads. Not a bad idea to check for function with the lswc profile...

      reloading component availibility

      Jeff over at McDonald's in Marion has a ready supply of brass, powder, primers. Not a ton of pistol but he does have some hs6, 700x, and had a couple lbs of bullseye last I was in. Primers are a little salty...around 3 5ish IIRC. powder is 26 a lb. Has lots of rifle powder. A few cans of...

      What's Your Next Handgun...and why?

      Glock 43. Because it's in layaway :) I am excited to get it and try it out. Will be a hopefully good backup duty weapon.

      help needed with duty holster....

      Jenkins in Indy will almost certainly have new brown basketweave, and possibly used in the back bins as mentioned. It's a one stop shop for LEO including the blue label Glock program.

      Hornady 158 grain lswc-hp

      Thanks for the detailed response...I didn't realize the Hornady lswc was such a soft lead to be honest. I have loaded quite a few hard cast bullets from BK over in Peru with good results. The hornady was a new critter to me. Glad I asked about them.

      Hornady 158 grain lswc-hp

      I don't have a method to seat the gas check as far as I'm aware. Haven't studied it too much honestly. Don't you need a specific piece of hardware for that?

      Hornady 158 grain lswc-hp

      Thanks for the feedback. I may work up a few in 357 and see how it goes. I'm fairly sure I can load em in 38 special with relatively low risk of leading.

      Hornady 158 grain lswc-hp

      So, I picked up a box of 300 of these pills....paid 15 bucks for them off a buddy. They don't have lube grooves - they are knurled. Anyone have experience loading these? I can use them for 38sp plinking loads, but would like to use them for some mid range (1000-1100fps) 357 loads as well...

      .357 brass

      I bought a bunch of once fired stuff from a LGS. So far so good, but several of then came in at around 1.250", while the majority were in the 1.285" ish range. Not a big deal just watch the once fired stuff as the different lengths will make a big difference in bullet depth and roll crimp out...
