I think if a thing like this was done it would really drive the wedge between the feds and the middle of the country deeper. I think it would help revive an interest in the 10th amendment, which has already begun.

Unfortunately, I've had failures to feed with the Hornady V-Max rounds; the plastic tip seems to be the culprit. I haven't had a failure to feed with any other ammo that I've tried in 5.45 (except for magazine-related failures).

Know where I can buy some non-magnetic 5.45mm FMJ projectiles?

Has anyone done this? I'm thinking of reloading for 5.45x39mm now that Hornady is making brass cases for it. For bullets, I'd like to buy cheap bulk .224 FMJ rounds (55 grain, probably) and draw them to .221. Is this feasible?

I know someone out there bought an aftermarket G17 slide and now the original is collecting dust somewhere. If you want to turn that into cash, I'm looking to buy.

A couple of follow-ups here: First, I weighed a selection of brass by brand. I weighed ten cases from Armscor, CORBON, Starline, Federal, Winchester, Top Brass, and PPU. The Remington, which caused me seating problems, I couldn't find any more of in my stash but the PPU exhibited very similar...

I haven't weighed the empty cases so that something I could try. I haven't kept track of how much each of the cases has been reloaded but I haven't reloaded all that much 10mm yet so I'm not sure that I've even loaded any case more than once (I think the most I would have done would be twice)...

I did some reading online it people were saying that some Hornady dies have the crimp feature and some don't. They also said that the die sets that have the crimp feature will say "Taper Crimp" on the box; my 9mm Hornady dies say that but the 10mm dies don't. Also, I followed the instructions...

Also, I learned that my Hornady 9mm dies have a crimp feature built into the seating die but the 10mm dies, also Hornady, do not. Is the lack of crimp feature perhaps to blame for the bullet-falls-in-case problem? It's just odd that the problem only arises with one kind of brass.

Today I was loading up some 10mm Auto and I made about 100 rounds with Federal brass, no problem. The COAL stayed consistent and all seemed to be going well. I had a bit of Remington brass lying around and so I thought I'd load some of that too. With the die still in the press at the same...

On a Larry Vickers YT Q&A vid he recently recommended "Barbarossa" by Alan Clark: https://www.amazon.com/Barbarossa-Russian-German-Conflict-Alan-Clark/dp/0688042686 Normally I have tons of time to read at work but the last few weeks have offered few opportunities. So far it's good though and...

Are those eggs massive or do you have Trump hands?

Another question: I was going through my stuff today and found a Vltor flashlight mount that goes on a pic rail and holds a 1" diameter light. I could put this on one of my uppers that I have kind of as a backup but I'd need a decent 1" light. Is there a good one that wouldn't break the bank...

Thanks for the info! Now that you mention it, it might just have been the DF versions that I heard people complaining about.

I'm thinking of picking up a Surefire Scout for my AR15. Some folks have complained about the swivel-adjust mount that SF now includes. Is it that bad? If so, can I get an aftermarket mount that doesn't suck? All that aside, is there another brand/model I should consider? I'd like something...

I think a friend of mine has a chrono but he's in the process of moving so it's probably packed up right now. Once he's completed the move I'll bug him to let me use it. In the mean time, I'm happy to say that my brass looks fine; none of the signs that you listed. Another thing I thought of...

Is there a way to measure pressure? I know you can measure velocity with a chronograph but I assume that doesn't necessarily tell you anything about pressure. I've also seen flattened primers as a sign of high pressure; is that a good indicator? Isn't loading too long also potentially a...

I thought it would be better to bump an old thread than to create a new one on a topic that's already been covered: Yesterday I went to the range before work and tested some handloads. I'd made up six different loads. The difference between them was powder charge and overall length of the...

The OP is a list of all the things I did wrong when I got into bending Kydex. I'm still not very good at it but I've at least learned what NOT to do.
