Short Action Customs has a novel design for its bushings that it claims will prevent the common concentricity problems associated with bushing dies.
I’ve seen independent testing on YT confirm the low concentricity.
I took delivery of a SAC bushing today and the quality is superb. Near mirror...
I might be asking the impossible. I’d like a 12ga that handle heavy turkey loads, easily (and reasonably priced ) conversion for slug barrel, but will also run 2 3/4 buck loads well. And can easily mount a red dot.
fwiw I hate 870s.
I’ve using my DDM4v11 pro as a do-all AR. It’s a solid rifle, but that 18” s2w barrel is nearly 3# by itself and a bit longer than ideal for social work. It’s presently used most for competition and it’s probably 12# with 3-15PSTg2.
It’s time to build a lighter, shorter upper for <50y use. I...
1) For my hands, the P10s is ergonomic perfection. Not good, not great-- PERFECT. It feels like a power tool, not a gun. I've never held a gun in this size range that was as good a fit for my hand. I don't have big hands, but the way the largest backstrap rounds out the back of the gun gives a...
Do we know if the P10s will largely work with G26 holsters along the lines of the way many of the G19 holsters will work on a P10C?
Or is it a totally different holster config?
Didn’t see a thread on this announcement yet.
It’s basically a necked down Grendel with a bit longer neck. Should push 108s to 2700+ in 18” gun. Same PPC bolt face, Grendel mags work. Same 52ksi pressure.
In a bolt gun it should approach a Dasher, but with affordable factory ammo and brass...
Yes, it works. And boy the FPS will show up.
Since you're flying blind on data, I guesstimated (based on online content) a start of ~45gr and worked up to 47 to see what I'd get.
Starline brass, 140 RDFs seated at ~2.883", a .040" jump in my gun (26" bbl). THIS LOAD IS NOT COMPRESSED AND I...
I know that I personally still see a lot of value in a double rifle. Especially one chambered in something in a classic rimmed magnum revolver round. A double rifle in 460SW or such would be something like the ultimate "woods gun" in my view.
Why?

This thing is awesome. I can wet tumble a batch of brass and not have a single pin in the case or stuck in a flash hole (at least not yet).
It is VERY effective at separating media and brass.
Since wet stainless pins seem to stick to everything, it amazes me that this thing can work so well...
I was reading recently the ATF letter of 2011 regarding the Thompson Center ruling on pistols made into rifles and back into pistols.
Here's the relevant text:
"Held, a firearm, as defined by the National Firearms Act (NFA), 26 U.S.C.5845(a)(3), is made when unassembled parts are placed in...
Trump may have a particular paternalistic gun control bent like Reagan did. Scroll down to first question.

Some of you guys know about this. I want to tell you about a way to get into high-power shooting without having to spend a fortune and without getting into stuff you'd otherwise never shoot.
If you were like me, you thought of HighPower shooting as a bit of an anachronism, like competitive...
My Google-Fu is obviously failing me. Everyone seems to be out all at once.
Does VLTOR not ship these anymore? Or do they just care so little about civilian sales that they don't care about the perpetual stock-out?
Bryan Litz's article on longer CBTO and the reduced pressure that comes with longer OAL has me thinking. The concept makes sense, but can it be quantified?
For example, how much more RL15 can I run at 2.45" OAL instead of 2.39" for comparable pressures?
I'm loading up some experiments that are...
Well, the deal I posted was too good for me to pass up myself. I ended up buying not one but two of the Savage 12FV models that are exclusive to Cabela's. One is .223 (9 twist) and the other is 6.5CM (8 twist). At $319 each for a non- Axis Savage, it's just too good to pass. Savage kicks in some...
Revolver or auto. I'm not necessarily saying *lightest* but rather Smoothest. That might be your Cajunized 75, an LCR, or P250, your massaged P226--you tell me.
I ask because I'm really starting to appreciate the advantages of DA and DAO and curious as to how good it gets.
I personally...
I found this fascinating video that gets at an idea I've been trying to spread for awhile: a loss leader only works if there's a gain follower. Otherwise, it's just a loss, right? Pretty simple concept, but it's one that so many--even senior and very educated people-- just fail to grasp.
For...
