      IWB leather holster

      I just bought a leather IWB holster from a local company and I'm not too sure about it. Had it for a couple weeks and really like the concealment part of not showing the barrel under my jacket. I have to put the holster on my pants and belt before getting dressed. If I holster the M&P Shield...

      Flashlights.

      Help me understand something. I am a Vietnam combat veteran. I walked the jungle at night sometimes and I NEVER thought about have a bright light at the end of my barrel. I wouldn't even smoke cigarettes after dark. Why in the world would I want a spotlight on my weapon now? Too many TV...

      That looks like a gun!!

      Well, I'm officially an old man today since I just signed up for retirement benefits at the SSA. But that isn't the reason for this thread. I was in the turn lane to the Social Security Admin on Bluffton Road in Fort Wayne, IN and had to stop and back up. Sure enough, there was a single stack...

      What am I doing wrong?

      I am loading 40 S&W and about 20 percent are not passing the Wilson gauge test. I am using 4.2 grains of Titegroup with Berry's 180 grain bullets. I am concerned about crimping too much and causing excess pressure in the case. Every round that fails has a pressure ring in the copper. (see...

      Disgust with the White House.

      I am so pi**ed off now I can hardly see straight. I just saw the evening news and of course the hot topic is the legalizing of LGBT. This does bother me but doesn't effect me directly. What does bother me and effects me directly is the view of the White House that was completely covered with...

      Stuck mags.

      I went to the Hillside range yesterday to try out my new Seekins 223/556 lower that I built and a Bushnell TRS32. The red dot is amazing and I really like using it. Was hitting the steel out 200 yards and it only took a few rounds to get everything zeroed in. The Seekins lower was not so...

      Are these safe?

      I am loading my first batch of 223 and not sure if these will be safe to shoot. I had the redding die set too low and crushed the brass on about 8 of them. I've loaded a few hundred 40 and 9mm but not 223, this is a lot different. They all passed the Wilson gauge test. Also, how do you expand...

      Question for old guys.

      I am getting re-interested in shooting skeet. I was in a league back in the 80's and really enjoyed using my Browning Citori 12 gauge. Came on bad times and had to sell it to pay the mortgage one month. Now all I have is a 1973 Remington 870 that I bought new and will use that for awhile. My...

      Help with first reloads.

      I completed my first reload ever last week and have some issues (maybe)...(possibly)...(I think so). I loaded 50 rounds of 40 cal for my Glock 23 and things just don't seem right. My am using a Lee single stage press, RCBS powder uniflow measure. Using a Frankford Arsenal DS-750 scale. Tight...

      Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms

      Sometime I get this prompt and can't access any more pages even when I see there are hundreds more pages to see? What does it mean??

      Corncob

      I just finished building a new brass tumbler for my .223 and 40 cal and bought corncob from a local pet store. Ran about 150 .223 cases through and it didn't do too bad. Not as shiny as I expected, but clean. The big problem I had was the corncob was stuck inside every .223 case and it took...

      Almond shells for brass cleaning

      I am putting the finishing touches on a new brass polishing tumbler. I stopped in a local pet store to get corn cob and found a bag of ground Almond shells. Do any of you reloaders use almond? It was pretty cheap and I don't want too buy something that I can't use if my tumbler doesn't work...

      Casting bullets

      I'm just getting ready to start casting bullets for my g23. I have about 75 pounds of lead pipe and now wonder how to check how hard my bullets will be. I know I can get a Lee hardness tester but how do I know how much tin to add? I also have about 50 lbs of lead shop and I suppose it will...

      New AR

      I finally got to fire my new AR15 last Saturday. About 125 rounds at Hillside Shooting range. I have a question for all. The rear sight is a MBUS that has a flip up part that makes the aiming hole either smaller or larger. What is the difference? I used the smaller hole to zero at 50 yards...
