		<title>In Review: Fiocchi Exacta .223 &#8211; 77gr HPBT MatchKing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[







I was recently approached by an ammo retailer called www.ammoforsale.com, who sent me some Fiocchi Exacta 77gr Sierra MatchKing-HPBT .223 (223MKD) for testing. So, I pulled out the old 90’s model Ruger Ranch rifle, some targets and a chrono and set out to see what this ammo can do. Needless to say, my tough little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Armor Beat-Down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I&#8217;d share these pix with you from a recent trip to the public range. These are the 300 yard rifle gong&#8217;s after several seasons of hard pounding.

It&#8217;s amazing that hard armor plates can be defeated by soft lead given enough velocity and repetition.

		<title>Reloading, Simplified</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first started reloading, I recall feeling a bit overwhelmed by the perceived complexity of the task. Over time, I realized that reloading a modern metallic cartridge is actually quite a simple process, and is only complicated by the vast choices of equipment that we have to choose from. This post is designed to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Victim of Gun Control</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A farmer in the UK was recently threatened with deadly weapons by a group of gypsies that were squatting on her land. She decided to call the police to come deal with the thugs. After taking a whopping 35 minutes to send the first unit to the scene, they did not arrest a single person [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting into 10mm Auto?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One Brasstard.com reader recently contacted me with some questions about getting into a new 10mm Auto pistol. He had some great questions about 10mm guns, ammo, and accessories, and I thought it would be worth sharing with others who might be considering a 10mm in the future.
Hello,
First, I want to say that I really appreciate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this post, we will take a look at three high-grade .177&#8243; hunting pellets, and how they perform in wet mass. These include&#8230;

Beeman &#8220;Crow Magnum&#8221;
Gamo &#8220;Rocket&#8221;

		<title>BATFE on the Chopping Block</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was no surprise to me that the mainstream media has utterly ignored the shady on-going&#8217;s of a program called &#8220;Project Gunrunner&#8221; by the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives &#8211; formerly called the ATF). The program was supposed to be designed to thwart illegal gun sales in southern states that would later [...]]]></description>

		<title>Update from California: AB 962 Shot Down In Superior Court</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The poorly-conceived &#8220;ammo bill&#8221; AB962 has been struck down as being &#8220;unconstitutionally vague&#8221; by Fresno Superior Court Justice Jeffrey Hamilton. The ruling comes just days before the law would have taken effect&#8230; a law that, among other things, would ban internet sales of handgun ammo and require local ammo buyers to be fingerprinted and reported [...]]]></description>
