      New AR15 poor primer striking issue

      Hi I'm new to the AR15's. I bought a Del-Ton carbine rifle kit. Problem app rears to happen when the rifle gets hot. Some rounds won't fire and sometimes I'll reload the round it'll fire. I cleaned and lubed the BCG and the same thing happened. I'm shooting American...

      What's harder to build upper or lower?

      Just built my first lower from a Del-ton complete rifle kit, used a BCI lower. Both items bought from LGS. All I can say is those tiny springs and indent/roll pins are a pita to install. Took awhile but got it done, just glad I started out cheap. Tough with 52 year old...

      Why isn't the NICS check instant?

      Went to the not so LGS (90 miles away from my home) to pick up a long gun. Needlessly the NICS back ground check wasn't instant last Friday now it looks like a handgun waiting period:mad54: and another road trip. Why the wait for a long gun?

      Anybody use X-TREME Bullets for 45acp reloads

      I was thinking about getting some 230gr RN and 200gr HP X-TREME bullets for reloading 45acp but some of the bullets are .452 diameter. There copper plated and a good price if the will work. My question is can I reload 45acp with .452 diameter bullets and have no problems reloading and...

      PPQ or VP9?

      I think I've narrowed my 9mm handgun search down to these 2 guns. I just like how they feel in my hand. The triggers do feel different. The PPQ has a long travel and seems to have no resistance/wall before the trigger breaks. I have to go on length of travel and just guess when it's going to...

      Great American Outdoor Show never been is it worth the road trip?

      I've never been to the Great American Outdoor Show (formerly the Harrisburg, PA show). Looks like a really big show with all kinds of vendors showing there goods, but are there vendors there selling goods all so? It sounds like I'd have to get a motel room for the night and spend 2 days walking...

      Anybody load hornady .458 325gr flex tip

      Guys I've a mix of 45/70 Hornady LEVERevolution and Remington cases. Just found out that the Horrnady cases are shorter. So I guess I can only load the 325 flex tip bullets in the Hornady cases? The other cases I'll have to cut down to 2.040" for the 325gr FTX's or leave at 2.100" and load with...

      CanI use a progressive reloader if I've all ready preprimed?

      Guys I ask this question because right now I'm doing everything single stage. If I happen to build up a large number of primed cases can I finish the last steps on a progressive system? Thanks

      Which powder measure works best for Bullseye powder?

      I just have a single stage press right now and I just started loading 45acp. I would like to get a powder measure that works for fine powders. The Lee hand scooper method takes a long time to make a hundred rounds:sad20: I don't mind doing this method for my rifle loads, but I've got about...

      Just shot my first handgun reloads 45acp 200gr Hornady HP/XTP

I got my first handgun this April and I have some spent cases I can reload now.I made 100 rounds of 45acp Hornady 200gr HP/XTP. Used Bullseye and CCI large pistol primers. I had a hard time finding a manufacture...

      Thinking about getting a Hi-Point Carbine anybody have one?

      Thinking about getting a Hi-Point carbine now that I'm shooting hand guns and it's a PITA getting 22LR cheap. Plus I can shot said gun at indoor handgun ranges. I'd like some pros and cons from real users of the Hi-Points. For the price of the Hi-Point (I know you get what you pay for) and...

      Time to go shopping. Just got my HQL yesterday and took less than a month from finger prints 3/10/2014 to mailbox 4/1/2014. Hope it's real and not a April fools joke?
