Just signed up and wanted to say hello ....... been reloading for a while now and get deeper and deeper into it every day ..... I reload 5.56/.223 , 45acp , 40s&w , 9mm the majority of it being the 5.56 cuzz my AR is just so darn fun to shoot and not to mention its 30 rounds per clip wich makes it VERY easy to blow thru ammo. I'm located in Lancaster PA if there is anyone else in PA make sure to say hey back !!!

Hey there 40twist and thanks for the info on the short stroke problems in ARs. It's a new rifle and is very tight as well. This very well might be the prob. Welcome th the HB. I live here in PA north of ya near Friedensburg.

Well actually its from my first handgun... It was a 40 cal.... I was cleaning it one evening and was looking down the barrel at the rifling and the "handle" 40twist just popped into my mind .. "40" in reference to the caliber and "twist" referencing the rifling..... yeh I know im goofy
