    Congressman Lawler praises inclusion of extension of Undetectable Firearms Act in appropriations package

    "It was first introduced after the emergence of firearms that could be undetectable by metal detectors or X-ray machines." Um, which guns were those exactly? I thought the 3D prints were the first ones that didn't use a metal slide or barrel. Or are they referring to the "Glock 7" from Die Hard?

    Safe Bullet Profiles?

    The round nose comment comes directly from the article posted about the CZ. The charge weight range is useable from one bullet of the same weight to another, but there are other factors that have to be taken in account to safely reload, as always. No manual I have lists a MAX OAL other than...

    Safe Bullet Profiles?

    Pg 158 of Lee Modern Reloading: "Jacketed: As the name implies, these are for jacketed bullets. In rifle loads, point styles may be used interchangeably. Handgun loads: be certain you do not use extreme hollow points with this data" And no, cramming a bullet into the lands from the case...

    Safe Bullet Profiles?

    Yes, within reason. As was stated, the ogive is going to effect seating depth (and by extension case volume) and the bullet's side profile is going to effect the drag on the barrel. Always start at the starting charge and work your way up, looking for pressure signs as you go. That's the key...

    Questions About Reloading Manuals

    99% of the time, the Lee book will have enough information to get started, but you can find most powder info online from the powder manufactures. Bullet manufacturers would like you to buy their manual and they can be helpful, but it's not 100% required unless you start getting into the...

    Mayor Evans Shares Gun Trace Data Report

    Higgins and Meng Introduce Legislation to Prohibit the Sale and Transfer of Body Armor to Potential Mass Shooters

    There is an upcharge for wearing body armor during a crime. Been that way for years. They passed a law that made soft armor illegal to buy or sell years ago. Then they passed a law after the Buffalo shooting that did the same for hard armor. You could own them if you already had them, but...
