    My new STI Perfect 10

    I waited a while to finally get my Perfect 10, but I am one happy camper today. I got this gun with 2 extra mags and a 40 cal barrel so I can shoot bulk through it. I ordered it from the factory with the hard chrome. I apologize for the pics, but I had to use my iPhone w/o a flash to get any...

    New life to my Dan Wesson 15-2, thanks to EWK Arms

    Earlier this year I bought a used Dan Wesson 15-2 (about 70-80%) from a great member here. He described the gun perfectly, and I paid accordingly (not very much). I wanted this gun because I had always wanted a DW Pistol Pac with HV shrouds. Well this gun only came with one barrel/shroud and it...

    Did I make a mistake? IMR 4895 vs H4895? Plus 45-70 questions

    Sorry making this more long winded than it needs to be, but just so you know why it happened the way that it did. This kind of goes along with my VV post. I did the math and figured that since I was getting multiple pounds of powders I got at a cheaper price, it made sense to order online. Well...

    Looking to start a AR15 pistol build

    I was looking to make this as easy as possible on myself and just buy a lower and an upper. I know that about the legality of lower registration so we don't need to go down that road. This could translate into advise for another separate build I was going to do, but I was told and have read...

    Which Vihtavouri Powders to use for a variety of calibers

    I kind of have a weird inquiry in regards to which Vihtavouri powders I should purchase for the various calibers I reload for. I have not been able to find any Vihtavouri powder at any store locally in SE MI since I have been reloading. I have heard nothing but good things about their powders...

    Which dies/sets give me the most options for S&W 460

    I just bought a S&W 460 and would like to get a definitive answer to what dies will allow me to reload 45LC, 454 Casull, and the S&W 460 without having to buy all 3 die sets. I will be shooting the 460 primarily, but would like to have the dies to reload the others. I know the 460 is prone to...

    S&W 500 Crimping Questions (pics)

    Sorry to ask a question that kind of gets beat death around here, but I was semi concerned about how much crimp to apply to my S&W 500. I am using Lil Gun and W296, 2 powders I have never used but hear they run great in the 500. Being that these powders are slow, I was crimping them on the heavy...

    Need help between 2 Trijicon ACOG's

    I am going to buy one of these two Trijicon ACOG's, but do not know too much about them to make a informed decision. It is going to be about a week before I order one of them, but I would like to know which one would be the most useful in general terms. I don't shoot in any competitions or...

    What 9mm Ammo for IDPA?

    I went and bought a Glock 34 today. I have always wanted a 9mm and thought why not kill two birds with one stone. Until now I have shot CDP with a Glock 30. I like the gun and shoot well with it, but I see guys shoot with these 9mm's and brass just flys out. I just had a opportunity to...

    S&W 629 Classic info/advise needed

    I have the opportunity to get a S&W 629 Classic 629 w/ a 8 3/8 barrel. This is not a gun I was looking for but a friend of mine knows a guy who might sell it to me for 400 cash for a house payment or taxes. I said I would be willing to pay 400 because that is about all I could afford (poor...

    Help in choosing a aftermarket Glock Barrel

    I want to start shooting lead out of my glock and wanted to know a good drop in barrel. This new barrel will probably be beneficial in many respects and I would probably use it a lot since I have exclusively switched to shooting reloads (but still carry factory for cpl). My brother shoots a .40...

    Sizing Lead Bullets

    I have a question about loading lead bullets. I tried loading it the same way as tmjs (.45acp), and had to put more crimp on them to get the neck size down to .469-.471. Is this what you have to do? I know that lead has a larger diameter for a reason, I just wanted to make sure I am not doing...

    New to reloading lead, few questions

    Ive gotten into shooting IDPA, and have started to go though a lot of bullets each week and my wallet cannot sustain it for too much longer. I have been looking at reloading lead as I can probably shoot twice as much for the same money spent. Keep in mind I have not loaded with lead yet, but am...

    Just got into IDPA

    By a total mistake I showed up at a private range with the intentions of participating in a open to the public shoot. I thought it was going to be a shoot so to say, not realizing that it was a IDPA practice event. I was unprepared for this type of shooting but I did have my iwb holster and 1...

    Need help with RCBS press identification

    My brother and I have kind of taken over our fathers press because he never used it. We thought originally that it was a Piggyback II, but when we order parts for it, they are short (in length). Here are some picture to help with the identification process. All I know is that the press was...
