    Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Added to Media?

    Ca approved bullets?

    Can you cite anything to substantiate that? I'm actually really curious about this, and not trying to be combative or start anything here. My LEO relative and I were discussing this very issue recently, and I think I found some evidence to the contrary...

    SOLD/EXPIRED .308 Win brass - 545 pieces

    Primers

    #1 shooting tip

    Of all the fundamentals (which of course are all important to master), the #1 factor for ME is breath control. When I really understood shooting on the respiratory pause, my groups improved significantly. If you're a new shooter, google "shooting on the respiratory pause" and read up.

    Best way to pull bullets without damaging them?

    Another vote for the RCBS collet puller. I just pulled 30 rounds without putting a single mark on any of the bullets.

    My 24" bull barrel AR LOVES 24.0 of RL-15 under a 77 SMK. I know several others have had success w/that recipe as well.
