Apache Junction, AZ –-(Ammoland.com)- When reloading rifle ammo there are some important tolerances to keep in mind if you want the best possible ammo and there are certain tools that help you keep those tolerances correct.

That is especially true if you are involved in competition shooting. When the difference is .002 between first and 10’th place in a match each little measurement is critical.

Note: For this report, Brownells.com supplied all of the measuring equipment. If you are looking for a company that sells all types of tools and many other things Brownells will have it.

USA –  -(Ammoland.com)- Among the many sad signs of our time are the current political and media attacks on Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, for speaking the plain truth on a subject where lies have been the norm for years.

The case before the High Court is whether the use of race as a basis for admitting students to the University of Texas at Austin is a violation of the 14th Amendment’s requirement for government institutions to provide “equal protection of the laws” to all.

Affirmative action is supposed to be a benefit to black and other minority students admitted with lower academic qualifications than some white students who are rejected. But Justice Scalia questioned whether being admitted to an institution geared to students with higher-powered academic records was...

St. Paul, MN -(AmmoLand.com)- Minnesota state forests are one of the primary sources of balsam fir boughs and branches used to make holiday wreaths and swags, according to the Department of Natural Resources.

Balsam fir grows in northeastern and north-central Minnesota. The flat, fragrant, dense, dark green needles are well-suited for wreaths.

Each year, about 734,000 pounds of balsam boughs are harvested from state forests between late September and early December. A good day’s picking can yield up to 1,000 pounds of boughs – enough to make 200 wreaths, each 25 inches in diameter.

Minnesota is one of the national leaders in the holiday wreath industry, employing thousands of seasonal employees in several Minnesota cities. Workers harvest boughs from forests and assemble wreaths in small factories. Leading up to early December, one leading...

United States -(AmmoLand.com)- A simple fact is the anti-gun left spout numbers and statistics all the time, they get them wrong, keep on repeating them and sooner or later they get treated as fact.

Here are some actual numbers and reasoned discussions to leave them flapping in the breeze.

Chicago – Chicago has a murder rate almost seven times that of the national average. 

Chicago has 500 murders by gun a year and a population of 2.7 million people, the US has 8,500 gun related murders and a population of 318 million.

Chicago has 185 murders per million people; the US has 27 murders per million people. Chicago has a murder rate almost seven times that of the national average. So a city that has a virtual ban on guns also has a murder rate with guns that is dramatically higher than the rest of the country. By the “rest of the US” I exclude cities that have gun bans of their own...
