      Magnetospeed me

      Saw a Magnetospeed in action, a friend has one. Then saw the Labradar. Get the Labradar and don’t look back. I bought the Labradar and for the few times I have used it, no regrets.

      Frontier Day Practice = FUN!

      I have shot on the frontier range several times. My goals are a little different from most of the shooters there. Besides getting in practice at long-range shooting I use the day to verify my zeros. The last time I was shooting one rifle chambered in 308, the other 300 Win Mag. I was verifying...

      How prepared are you for a home invasion?

      Having no kids around makes things a little easier. The primary bedroom firearm is a M14s, loaded 20 round mag in the rifle, round chambered. Battle pack with ten extra loaded mags, Peltor Tac 7 hearing protection, safety glasses, and a Streamlight PROTAC HL-X light. One more thing to add. The...

      Old powder vs velocity

      As others have posted the numbers from the books are just numbers. Unless your load is from the same lot of brass, lot of primers, lot of powder, lot of bullets, and fired from the same test gun the that the publisher used, your numbers will be different. There are so many variables that it is...

      Question for those that wet tumble

      When it comes to the topic of cleaning brass with dry media or wet tumbling there are several questions that need to be asked. Simply put, how much brass needs to be cleaned and how shiny do you want it. However, there is one thing to get out of the way. There is cleaning and polishing, and...

      Fred's Waldorf Broken Into

      The Flamingo was located just south of where National Motors is. During the seventies, for a few years, the building was used as a crab restaurant. Then it was left vacant for some time. Eventually the building was torn down and the only thing that remained was the concrete slab foundation. Some...

      Ramshot Silhouette, anyone use it?

      Powder Valley has Ramshot Silhouette in stock at this time, Sunday evening the 11th. I have never used it before and was noticing it is listed for use in quite a few handgun calibers. While I don’t need any powder at this time, I was wondering if anyone has used it before and what are their...

      Update on the Taco Bell incident.

      There was a discussion about what happened at the Taco Bell in Waldorf in the Fred’s thread. Since the Taco Bell incident has gone international and there is some more information on it, I think it deserves its own thread. https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=254767 starting post 72 for...

      What is the difference between

      The time frame that I spoke of having difficulties with CCI primers was early 1986. As posted, I understand that CCI has improved their primes, as probably everyone has. I started using Winchester primers, they worked well for me and I didn’t see any reason to use CCI primers again. And...

      What is the difference between

      When I started reloading, I was getting CCI primers from a local shop. I had problems with them feeding in the press, a Dillon 550. When I contacted Dillon, they told me that the CCI primers were not consistently round and recommended Winchester primers. I started using Winchester primers and...

      Question for those that wet tumble

      I have tumbled loaded rounds for years, to remove lube. I have certain media that is used for cleaning. I have a different media that is contaminated with lube that is used only for already loaded stuff.

      Want to know one of the best ways to know if an area is done. It is when the stores have steel roll up shutters for when they are closed.

      Estimate on empty cases

      1000 5.56/223 case weight around 13.6 pounds. As an example, 5000 5.56/223 cases weight 68 pounds. Counting how many cases that are in a 5-gallon bucket is on my to do list. I can say that there are around 1160 cases in a 50 cal can. If you can weight the bucket of brass, then you can figure how...

      Estimate on empty cases

      The value is dependent on what kind of brass. Is it mixed range pickup, or all once fired military? For most reloaders, mixed cases are not worth as much as cases with the same headstamp. 7 cents a case is about average for once fired military in quantities that large. One can figure around...
