A key component of responsible gun ownership is safety; Peripherally, this includes protecting yourself while shooting with ear protection. Protecting your ears while shooting is seriously important, as the ear is a powerhouse of the human body. Not only does it control your ability to hear, the ear also collects information to send to your brainstem and spinal cord. The way you sense changes in movement around you, control your equilibrium, and your ability to balance are all controlled by factors within the ears. How can you go through 1000 rounds of bulk 9mm ammo if you can’t balance your stance correctly? If you are under the impression that shooting without ear protection doesn’t really harm you, look at the decibel levels (the unit all sound is measured in). It is important to understand that the decibel scale is logarithmic, all that means is that 70 decibels is actually TWICE as loud as 60 decibels and 80 decibels is four times as loud as 60 decibels. A normal co...

An enjoyable outing for the whole family, plinking allows you to hone your aim and form in a relaxed environment.  Informal target shooting with whatever you have lying around, plinking is a great way to get out into nature and have a blast. By plinking with things you have lying around the house, or can find very cheaply, you can save your money to buy bulk 223 ammo .  Ice Clays Perfect if you’re going a short distance, homemade ice clays are simple to make and won’t break the bank. All you need are water and paper cups. Fill the cups with water and place in the freezer, when frozen and ready to use, remove the paper cup exterior and ice will pop out smoothly. To shoot these ice clays from a distance, add food coloring to make them stand out. Milk Jugs or 2-liter bottles An old favorite because nearly everyone has these lying around the house ready to throw out. Milk jugs and 2-liter bottles will explode pretty epically if you fill them with something co...

American gunowners lost one of their finest and most passionate advocates when R. Lee Ermey passed away on April 15, 2018. He almost needs no introduction—folks from all walks of life knew and loved the man who played tough-as-nails Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in the classic 1987 film Full Metal Jacket (film buffs can recite Ermey’s opening tirade verbatim). However, Ermey—affectionately known as “Gunny”—will have a particularly special place in the hearts of servicemen and gun enthusiasts. Not only was he a former Marine drill instructor—he reportedly came up with 150 pages of insults for the grunts in Full Metal Jacket all on his own—he was also a GLOCK spokesman and NRA board member for many years. On top of that, he hosted the TV shows Mail Call , Lock N Load and GunnyTime , in which he got to fire off weapons like the M-134 Minigun (nice work if you can get it!). In honor of the Gunny, here are a few of his favorite guns: GLOCK G43 In a 2016 interview w...

Bulk 223 ammo can be a lot of fun to shoot. The .223 Remington cartridge is an excellent round for plinking, competitive shooting and varmint hunting. Here are some things to know about this round. Difference Between .223 Ammo and 5.56 NATO Ammo One important thing to note about the .223 Rem cartridge is the difference between it and the 5.56 NATO cartridge. The two rounds often get lumped together because NATO modified the .223 in order to make the 5.56 back in 1980. Consequently,the external dimensions of their cases look exactly the same. One difference between .223 ammo and 5.56 ammo involves the interior of their cases. The walls for the 5.56’s case are thicker than those of the .223, which increases its maximum chamber pressure by 10-15%. This means that the loading data will need to change if someone wants to reload 5.56 cases to .223 specs. A bigger—and more important—difference between the .223 and the 5.56 lies in the rifles that fire them. A .223 r...
