I bought a Remington 870 in January and fired maybe about 25 rounds through it when I first got it. I cleaned it and its been in the safe until today. I took it out and tried skeet shooting for the first time today. Problem was, my gun wouldn't fire half the time.
I would load a shell, take...
I bought one a while back and absolutely love it. I can carry my xD9 all day without any problems. I even wore it on an 8 hour road trip and it didn't bother me at all. The only IWB holster I will ever own!
If you are looking to go to Four Guns in Lafayette, you will find that their store next to Haley's is closed. They have relocated just down the street and to the south (across from Von Tobel's).
Their old location has no sign directing you to the new place, so it looks like they went out of...
I started reloading about 7 months ago and bought the Lee Anniversary kit off of Midway USA for $100. I love my kit! Someday I might upgrade to a progressive, but it is a great kit for not a lot of money and easy to learn on.
I am starting to work up a load for my AR-15 Carbine and I had a question about primers. I have Winchester SR primer that I have loaded into some Lake City brass that I acquired.
I have been reading on the internet that I should only use the CCI #41 primers with an AR or I will end up with a...
I got the Lee Anniversary kit, a Lyman Tumbler, A set of carbide dies for 9mm, and a bullet puller when I started. I quickly upgraded the Lee scale to a Redding scale (the Lee scale was inconsistent and driving me nuts. Much happier with the Redding).
Welcome to reloading. You'll find that it...
When I first saw this thread, I got a little worried. I have been reloading in my attached, non-climate controlled garage since I started reloading about 7 months ago. I haven't had any issues, keep my press oiled, bullets and brass stay in the garage, primers and powder are stored in the house...
Mine started doing that after a couple months of use. I cleaned out the ram, lubed up the area, and still kept having the problem. I agree it's a pain when doing a lot of rounds.
I finally broke down and did what everyone else on here did. I bought the hand held Lee priming tool. I am yet to...
I bought an AR-15 Carbine several months back with the A2 upper. It is a Bushmaster with a chrome lined barrel and 1:9 twist. I recently have started shooting at 100-200 yards and have trouble really seeing the target with the A2 iron sights.
I am thinking of getting an A3 upper and putting...
Congratulations! A book I got when I received my Garand was "The M1 Garand: Owner's Guide" by Scoot Duff. Lots of good info on maintenance and assembly and disassembly. I bought it on Amazon.
I got one with new wood just like yours. Google different ways to finish that stock to protect it. I...
I would also recommend the Crossbreed Supertuck. I have tried several holsters and this one is the most comfortable one out there. I wear mine all the time. I even wore it for an 8 hour drive to Tennessee and it didn't bother me at all.
If you do decide to get one, check Midway first...
So, quick update.
I emailed Hornady and told them the problem I was having. Below is their response.
"The Hornady .22 cal. 68 gr. BT-HP match bullet profile is not fitting the bullet seating stem profile of your Lee bullet seating die. Would recommend lapping out the bullet seating stem...
Okay, went out and got some BLO this evening. Think I'll try this route. I've decided to try and do this sometime soon.
What's sad is, because of the weather, I haven't even shot this rifle yet. I figure if I'm going to do this, I should take it apart and finish the wood before taking it out...
I am using the Lee Anniversary kit press. I can't recall exactly what the press model is.
As for not being able to handle the long nose, if that were the problem, would the Sierra 69 gr MK work better? I recall reading somewhere that the 68 gr Hornadys tend to run pretty long.
