    The Best Case Lube

    Have used a lot of them over the years .... but this is all I use now. Easiest, cheapest, best spray on a guy can use in my opinion. (In reality, the "best" is what works for you) If you try it, you will like it. A little goes a long long way. Trust me .... this stuff works. One Part...

    Annealing 30-06 brass

    Its a great question. As responded immediately above mine. Use Temp. 750 inside neck. Inside neck. Take out of heat source when tempilaq turns. This will occur before you see any red! Use it on every case if you don't have a machine. This is the way to consistent annealing and...

    Taurus PT111 GEN2 9MM $199

    Never owned a Taurus, never looked at a Taurus, didn't want a "Taurus", heard in the past they had bad quality control problems, knew they made the "judge" 410-45 yrs ago that I rolled my eyes at (no offense intended - not my cup of tea - ymmv), heard they lost a safety related law suit...

    Loading 223 60 gr Nosler Ballistic tip using imr 8208 xbr

    welcome to the forum. XBR is a great powder for 223/556. Have a couple of guys in our varmint crew that run it with 50 g v and z max, 55 g noslers, and 60 g vmax in semi auto accuracy rigs. I run it with 77 g noslers. So from 50's to heavies in 223 it works. Great powder if your...
