I use a 3 tray tackle box and a single pistol cleaning kit from Winchester. I have all kinds of calibers and in shotgun only 12ga. Have a good Tipton rod for rifles and brass rod for pistols bore brushes all mixed up, a caliber specific jag set and the old jags like threading a needle type...

could it have been the old lee and rcbs using different numbers and had the correct number but was the wrong brand a #3 rcbs and a lee #3 are not the same

Just have a good description and the value of each and tell her its in the safe. Never let a wife know how much you have in firearms or the combo to the safe, possible bad outcomes : divorce, wanting to spend an equal amount of money on her junk (women don't understand guns go up in value), are...

I have and older 40 xdm and a newer 9mm xdm with fiber optic sights, no problems from either one, will probably sell the 40 one day just to eliminate that caliber from my reloading, but the 9mm is a range favorite wife and son shoot it a lot. Very comfortable grip good sights never jams, these...

I just wish I could load fmj bullets cheaper than i could buy steel case ammo. I can load it for the same price as steel , been thinking of ditching ak and ammo and switch to 300bo.

keep the 280, the other calibers you mentioned have nothing over the 280. It's a long action so what how often are you firing more than one shot. Reloading makes all the calibers you listed equally available 280 brass is easy to find or make, use the money you saved by keeping the 280 and...

I would go with win 231 it is the easier powder to find during shortages and work with lot of pistol calibers a good powder to keep on hand in quantity. Different brand bullets shaped differently will have different lengths, use your tightest fitting 9mm chamber and do a plunk test,

I love 1911 pistols, I have 38 super, 45acp and 9mm, the 9mm is cheaper to shoot less recoil and my wife's favorite. I shoot the 9mm more than the others because of having more 9mm ammo

My cost for 62gr fmj hornady reloads at today prices is .333 cent per round, its better ammo than bulk NATO, brass free. Purchase components when hazmat is free and in bulk. Some calibers are a lot cheaper to reload, 45LC, 38 super are 2 calibers that got me into reloading.

with no extractor I always go with the hotter 22 rounds, low velocity stuff tends to jam.

I let mine go way back after the glory days of military surplus dried up I just didn't use it. Last C&R I purchased was a cz 82.

Stupid way to get hurt, I wonder if he had someone hold his beer. Lucky he did not get shrapnel in the face or molted plastic.

I don't use the hornady 55gr but I do use the 62gr hornady fmj midsouth has them for 11 cent each, very good bullet I use them in all my ar rifles, very accurate.

I gave up on taurus firearms years ago. I had a beretta copy model 99? and a taurus 66 never had a problem with either of them they were older guns purchased very late 80's or early 90's. It seams like those were the golden years for quality taurus guns. I had 2 other taurus guns so bad I got...

I would look into athlon scopes, they are my goto when I dont feel like paying for a higher brand, great optics and warranty.
