I buy these when I can find them, as they are usually out of stock, everywhere. Assuming that you load with very mild crimp, and keep velocity less than 900fps, these bullets will show off the accuracy potential of your pistol quite nicely. Unfortunately, they will also show off your so-called marksmanship skills at the same time. Consistent and accurate, and the price is right, too. I enjoy shooting these from my K-38's and Pythons. Try them, you'll like them!

I have several of these DuraMag Stainless Steel 6.8SPC mags, and use them for my .224 Valkyrie loads. They fit and function 100%, and are long enough to allow me to seat my bullets longer than max oal as listed in the reloading manuals. I recommend them over aluminum mags.

I have loaded 300 rounds so far, using this die set. The seating micrometer works well at getting my over-long cartridges set to my magazine’s maximum cartridge length. The set includes a neck sizer and a full-length sizer. I tried both, and they each perform as designed. My only suggestion to improve the die set, would be to include a VLD seating stem with the seater die. Otherwise, loading a VLD bullet results in a ring being dug into the VLD olive. No big deal, as Redding offers a VLD seater, which I ordered. Redding makes quality equipment.

Great ail that I used to replace the USGI plastic hand guards on my A3. My rifle had the USGI stocks over top of the Compass Lake free float tube, so I was concerned about clearance. After watching the UTube installation video, I followed the instructions on-screen, and had the old Delta ring, springs and the snap-ring off in 10 minutes. The new hand guard is a snug but excellent fit. Quality construction, excellent fit and finish that fit over my existing float tube. I now have a stable platform for my bipod, and it looks much better. The quick-connect sling fittings are a nice feature.

For the first time, I am now able to get the correct cheekweld on my AR15, allowing me a full and clear view through my scope. The Magpul arrived with clear instructions, and took about 10 minutes to hook up, adjust and sling up. Nice, solid design with distinct clicks for the adjustments. I’ll be purchasing another for my 224 Valkyrie AR. If weight of the rifle is important to you, think twice. Mine is on a HBAR Service Rifle that has been rebarrelled with a long, heavy tube, so I appreciate the added weight. Wouldn’t be good for extended carry. Otherwise, this is the best stock for an AR that I have seen.

I purchased the Sig Kilo1800BDX for its features and because I have had great experiences with Sig electronic devices and weapons. Sig once again has provided an excellent quality electronic device at a reasonable price, complete with a great warranty. The Kilo has so far provided known-distance range readings that are correct to 500 yards. Unknown range readings out to 1200 yards have been used. The eyepiece diopter adjustment works well, you can set the Kilo to turn itself off after a set time, and it will take instant or continuous range readings. A neat feature is the ability of the Kilo to communicate with a Kestrel wind measuring device, a cellphone ballistics program and even a new Sig rifle scope. It can provide range with the angle computed to correct for the amount of angle involved. For my use in providing scope adjustments and range, it is quite impressive, especially for such a small package.

I purchased this sling for my 7.5” barreled SBR AR-15. I knew I would need a lot of adjustments available, and I wanted quick disconnects and a straightforward adjustment. Most military-type slings get me tied up and wondering who designed them. This sling was an easy to adjust model that allows me to wrap the sling behind my back, and still have enough length to provide a firm hold with the stock adjusted out, yet adjusts quickly and easily to shorten down for easy muzzle-down carry. I now have three of this model on different carbines. All have excellent quick-disconnects and great quality at a reasonable price.

I used this kit to fit out a new Ruger stripped lower receiver. Each part was of excellent quality and fit and worked properly. This is a nice kit at a great price. The finish on each part is properly applied, all springs work as designed, and the levers and push-pins are of the correct dimensions.

I like these cotton cleaning swabs for their ability to hold solvent, and clean in tight places. I would like them much more if they didn’t snap in two when a little pressure. Is put on them. Probably be better with a stiff nylon or plastic stick.
