Bullet Weight vs Powder Type vs Recipe
I am confused how reloading recipe are formulated. For instance, I reload 6.5 Grendel. I use 123 grain bullets and the recipe (I use the Hodgdon recipe calculator) specifies to use Accurate 2230 (among others). If I move to a 129 grain bullet, there is no recipe using any Accurate powder. For... -
Pulled 100 bullets
After the fiasco with 6.5 Grendel not chambering I finally got around to pulling the bullets and dumping the powder. I ran them through the resizing die again without adjusting it and to my surprise they chambered after sizing. What I think happened is one of the other dies was too far in the... -
Survival PVC Pipe Cache
Has anyone assembled a PVC pipe cache? I am thinking of making a couple. Not sure the contents I was thinking maybe an AR, ammo, knives, liquor, matches, fishing gear, medical kit, radio, etc. I am looking for content ideas. Construction I am thinking just a PVC pipe with the ends glued on so... -
.224 Valkyrie - Good Deal?
I have been offered the below for $600. That scope is a Millett 6-25x56 LRS-1. Taken to the range one time. .224 Valkyrie I think that is expensive to shoot? He is including like 60 rounds of ammo. Worth it or no? What would new price on that package be? -
Is Accuracy Based on the Barrel?
If I take my mediocre BCA 20" 6.5 Grendel upper and re-barrel it with a Wilson Combat "match" grade 22" barrel, will the gun, all things being equal, be more accurate? And by more accurate I mean tighter groups. I would use as many parts from the BCA upper as I can and buy only what doesn't work... -
Colt for Colt - Value Change?
I have an all original Colt 6520. It has an integrated carry handle. If I replaced it with the below flat top Colt upper and transferred all the upper parts over to that upper, would that affect any collector value it might have? I would keep the original upper of course. I probably won't do... -
Thumb Brake?
I was at the range the other day and a guy there was using an auto with a modified slide lock. I asked about it and he said it was some sort of "thumb brake" that helped you to grip the gun properly. I wanted to check this out further but having trouble finding it. Anyone know what this was? -
New AR 6.5 Grendel Problems
I took my recently built AR 6.5 Grendel to the range yesterday and it had problems. It would not fully seat rounds and the rounds it tried to seat got stuck in the bore. The first one that got stuck I had to separate the AR lower and upper and use a tool to pry the bolt back. I tried again and... -
AR LPK - 9mm vs .223
Is there any difference between a 9mm and .223 BCG when building an AR in 9mm? I have a milspec lower but see they sell BCGs as 9mm and .223. Can I use either?

Dry Firing a Single Action Army
Uberti says not to dry-fire their SAAs. Why? Their claim is that it will ruin the cylinder. But nothing ever touches the cylinder so how can that happen? You can see my pictures below where the firing pin and no part of the hammer ever comes into contact with the cylinder. So how could that... -
Shooting 45 Colt from a 45 ACP Cylinder - SAA
What would happen if you tried to shoot 45 Colt from the 45 ACP SAA cylinder? A friend of mine took his SAA to the range, he has both cylinders, and had an odd issue. The 45 Colt ammo (He says he was using the correct cylinder) expanded so much that he had a hard time removing the empties from... -
Single Action Army Replica
I am looking for a high quality, single action army replica gun. I'd like it as close to real in every way other than unable to fire. I do not want a bb or pellet gun. Cap gun is ok. I would like it to chamber dummy rounds. Any tips, leads, links, or help appreciated! -
Stuck case, removing bullet
I got a stuck case. I got it out but what a PITA. Ended up removing the primer plunger which was also stuck in the case. Hammering got everything out. I first hammered the pin into the stuck case which freed that, and then I had to hammer the plunger out. I mushroomed out the end of the plunger... -
Rifle Case Suggestions
Can someone recommend a rifle case for my 6.5 Grendel AR with attached scope? I don't want to have to take the upper off so need a 44" or larger case. Soft-sided. I always have a range bag so need of any extra space just padded for the rifle. Just a trunk case not a shipping case. TIA! -

Radiation Detector - $47 (1/2 price)
I picked one up. Does anyone know if these have a shelf life? Does the sensor element wear out over time? Seems like a good thing to have in your bugout bag. Amazon Radiation Detector -
Lunchtime AR build and minor issue.... **PIC**
My friend got his first AR and we built it a couple hours ago over lunch. Went well! Roll pins went in easy because I got those punches with the hollow end to start the roll pins. And I remembered electrical tape to protect the lower this time. Issue we ran into was the safety detent pin would...
