Biden EO’d some additional restrictions on selling milsurp ammunition, or so I recall.

If it’s headstamped WCC, it’s not military brass necessarily. One of the things that does happen is ammo that doesn’t meet military QC requirements as mil spec, but meets SAAMI is perfectly ok to sell. What do you think XM193 ammo was? It wasn’t M193. Some of this is due to the democrats new rules o...

It doesn’t do you any good… but a Dillon 1050 makes short work of your problem.

It’s just kind of a PITA to set the swage rod right.

I agree that it is unlikely to go anywhere, but also that it is encouraging.

Well, I’ve been here a while. Trump is not the salvation some seem to say. I like his policies better than Harris, but I don’t trust him to follow through on them. Vance has convinced me to go from definitely voting write in to thinking “maybe” on Trump, but Trump is the negative in my mind. Almost ...

We could and should do better than DJT.

He’s not conservative, smart, moral, principled, or a decent human being.

That he looks good compared to the democrats is a very sorry statement about public life in the US.

Not quite…

The 8 rounders are high capacity, but not extended- they are the same length…

If it isn’t the receiver/frame, it isn’t a gun.

Besides, these anti gun folks are a protected class. Rules only apply to us untermenschen.

The advantage of a big magazine is that if you get in a fight and get a bit excited, you can stay in the fight longer with a larger magazine. Folks have been known to sit and keep pulling the trigger despite the gun being empty… From my USPSA experience, the larger mags are a bit more difficult to k...

I have used a bunch of IMI brass in the past in handgun calibers, and it was good stuff. I’ve not used any IMI .308, but have used some .223 IMI factory ammo which was good, and some .50 BMG which was good (but my use wasn’t the hyper accurate stuff - .50 BMG Barrett shooting. It’s been closer to co...

Well, since suppressors increase gas pressure, I would put the suppressor on before tuning to function if that is your intended use. If it functions without the suppressor it will be overgassed with it.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but if the bullet is jamming before it goes to full lockup,it sounds like something other than a gas problem.

I think most gunsmith shops can accomplish that…. If you leave out the last word. You are better off selling it at a gun show as a project/parts gun. You are undoubtedly losing money now, and the more you put in, the more you lose. With the exception of collector arms, lever guns are just not worth ...

Additionally- I have shot a .350 Remington magnum some. It’s a short action version of the .35 Whelen. I’ve had good luck with a 225 TSX and the 250 A Frame in that. The A frame is a bit slow unless you load it a bit long due to a lack of powder space. It’s less of an issue in the whelen. At those v...

Moose are rather dumb… it takes a lot to convince them that they are dead. The Barnes is the prototypical monometal bullet. I use them on dangerous game regularly. (.375, .416, and .470) If you use the TTSX, I’ve never seen them not expand. I’ve seen and heard of the .30 and smaller not expanding in...
