145gr with a red tip is likely M1, M2, or M2 alternate pulled down from .30-06. I'd guess M2 alternate since you said they're magnetic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.30-06_Springfield#United_States

Thanks all for the comments. Definitely unanimous on sizing, and it makes sense.

I've bought some new brass (10mm auto) for the first time. I usually just buy once fired brass, but I got a smoking deal. Just curious what the consensus is on if you size the brass before loading or...

You might want to look into Griffin Armament's Red Cross program.

I used to have a RIA 1911 in 45 that I shot USPSA Single Stack with. It was a great gun. As accurate as I needed and reliable. I sold it to a buddy to by a S&W. I have a 10mm double stack inbound....

If the bolt won't close, I would guess it's a headspace problem. I'd run them through the sizing die and push the shoulder back another 1-2 thousandths.

Finally starting to organize the gun/reloading room beyond the initial unpacking 4 years ago when I bought the place. May actually have the benches cleared enough to setup my presses this year. :lol:

I've been running a set of these all year. Primarily for work travel to kill noise in-flight, but also while running power equipment doing yardwork. I've worn them a few times while shooting.

I have a CMP Special. It came in a new stock with a new Criterion barrel.

I've been using a drip coffee maker for the last 4.5 yrs. I used an AeroPress for about as long when I only made coffee on the weekends. Now that coffee is a daily thing, the drip coffee maker is...

Very nice. I've been contemplating a pcc SBR, and 10mm is very intriguing. Haven't moved on anything yet, though.

I have an EGW picatinny rail mounted on my 452, so I don't have to mess around with dovetail rings. It also allows for some adjustment of position. I had a Weaver Tactical 3-15 mounted on it for a...

I've got some rust showing in my muzzle loader barrel as well. However, I haven't fired it in around 8 years, and it's just been sitting in storage. I was living in the desert when I was hunting with...

I'm not a fan of collagen cases either. Used them to make some breakfast link sized Chorizo sausage. As mentioned they're tough when cooked. They also won't stay twisted into links. I've seen some...

I made this a Friday night and it came out really good. I'm not sure how the original recipe comes up with 24 tortillas unless like in Artful's recipe mod-post above they put down a layer before the...

I'll add another vote for Mountain House. I picked up a bunch of it when I went elk hunting late last year. Ate it for breakfast and dinner for 5 days. The dinners were all edible and for the most...

Check out this group buy. http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?167692-MiHec-311410-Brass-Cramer-HP

It's closed but there is a list started for the extras that are always made.

Sound to me like you're trying to turn the AR into an AK. It would be faster, cheaper, and easier just to go with the AK from the get go.

Haha.

Forgot to mention in my last post. When you get the press give Hornady a call and ask them to send you a set of shims for under the powder measure. A lot of people have problems with it...

Congrats on the purchase. I have a LNL-AP and enjoy it a lot. I use a #45 shell plate for loading .45 ACP. Hornady lists the #45 on their website as the one to use for .45 ACP and #1 for...

I have a pair of Leupold BX-1 Yosemite 8x30 binoculars. December was my first time using them on a hunt. I carried them on a Bushnell harness, and they were very comfortable. The optical...

I use the cheap leather welding gloves from Harbor Freight. You get 3 pairs for $12 or cheaper with a coupon or on sale.

I made a batch of modified Emmert's last year (5% canola 5% lanolin). I used the current Crisco formulation. The lube cooked up fine and worked fine for pan lubing a bunch of samples I got from...

I've used this method to save many a case.
