    Please list of non-major reloading companies/sources that are legitimate

    Great idea. Mores choices of legit companies is always better. Especially when someone here has vetted them.

    I Know This Is LRH... But What Is The Shortest Distance You Have Taken A Live Target?

    Did that shot cut or burn your toenails with it? Remember the old movie, "Kingrat"? Yum. Course, all you would have harvested at that range was spray and mush. 🤪

    I Know This Is LRH... But What Is The Shortest Distance You Have Taken A Live Target?

    Was that guy trying to get back to his Neanderthal roots? Maybe having a big gun on your belt would have givin him a little assurance and let climb down that tree earlier. More power to him. As a matter of SOP for me, I always carry a pistol when I hunt no matter what I'm hunting or whether...

    Wart hog. 30 feet. 1966. Browning Safari in .375 HH. I was 10. It nearly broke my sholder, was bruised for weeks.

    AR10 barrel nut problem

    There is a standard for the AR15. It follows the M16 and M4. If this is a large frame, all bets are off. I cant tell you how many fitment issues I had when I built my first AR10. Ouch! No matter. My guess is that since you stated the CMMG upper did fit with very minimal filing, it's possible the...

    AR10 barrel nut problem

    I guess if it works and your happy, so be it. I (you too) would have really liked to know the exact root of the problem, but oh well. Stay safe and have fun.

    Ever See Donkeys in with Livestock?

    I saw a mule kick out at a dog and missed. He hit a 4x4 post support in the paddock and broke it half. With all that power, I couldn't imagine what your leg or body would go through on a solid contact. However, I did have one step on my foot. Made me invent a few new words that day.😵‍💫

    KESTREL BALLISTICS ACCESSORIES FOR UPGRADES AND UPDATES

    What is the usb plug type you are looking for? IE, type A or B or C or D??? Also, are both ends the same? Let me know, I may have one. Have no idea about the dongle.

    Post brass cleaning?

    Wet tumble with pins for 30 minutes. Use a squirt of Dawn dish soap with small scoop of Lemi Shine. Works like a champ, gets them clean, and shines up nice. No water spots. If your storing long term, put a dessicant pack in an air tight container or bag, try to remove all air you can and seal...

    If you had $700, what would you get for reloading?

    That will cost a fair bit more than whatever change is left from that 700. 🤪

    What gun did you want that was never made ?

    Could you imagine the weight? Oof.

    What gun did you want that was never made ?

    It's a crap shoot. Some worked ok, others didn't. I pulled down the remaining ammo I had-all checked out ok. Ruger took the gun with no more questions asked. We were testing the applicability and possible submission of this gun for use as a survival gun for the AF. They passed.

    What gun did you want that was never made ?

    It did have a bad flaw. The receiver cracked of the second shot. Factory ammo. Sprayed my face and hand with hot gas and a couple of metal frags. Had shooting glasses on, saved my eyes. My chin had a 2 inch slice on it. Glad I sent it back. Great idea, bad implementation. 👎 Got another 10/22...

    What gun did you want that was never made ?

    I had one of the 22mag guns many years ago. It blew up in my face on the second shot. Factory ammo. I sent it back to Ruger with my compliments. As they were. Think I paid around 300 for it new. Great idea. Bad implementation. 👎
