Spalding, in WW1 bullets were pulled from 30/06 ammo, turned around and reseated, the purpose? Snipers used small metal shields that handled small arms fire, but the when the flat end of the bullet hit the metal the opposite side scaled off. Tanks, same thing, it was like hitting an old...

Is zinc safe??? :confused: I may be wrong, but aren't zinc fumes toxic?? Seems like i remember reading that when welding on galvanized metal (which means zinc plated) you were supposed to wear a welding helmet that piped in air to keep the zinc fumes away from being inhaled.

Trail Boss and pressure. A while back I was looking for info for a low pressure load for a Webley MarkVI converted to .45ACP. I had figured on using Trail Boss, , but the info I found said NO to both Trail Boss and Tightgroup (the 2 powders I use the most). In fact, Unique was recommended...

Everybody is missing the point-all of a sudden no or little powder being thrown. I can tell you I've had a similar problem. The autodisk assembly must be screwed down all the way onto the die. It does tend to work loose. And it is critical on the smaller loads because the disk hole will not...

Charge vs volume. Seating the bullet does not affect the powder charge, but case volume does. The 38 and the 357 have different case volumes and that can make problems. For example, look at load data for .45ACP and .45 Colt. with the same bullet and powder, the charge will vary for similar...

Be careful when talking to insurance companies Don't count on the insurance agent being able to give you the correct answer. My father-in-law found out the hard way. He had a ham radio installed (bolted down) in his car. His agent told him it was covered. But when the car was broken in and...

Canuck-IL- It isn't "lazy" postal workers- The facility I used to work in was HUGE (5+ acres under roof}, and when bullets broke open the machinery would spread them all over the building. They fall deep into the sorting machines, and management is raising hell to get the machines started...

.380 vs 9 dies Don't count on it. I tried loading .38 special with Lee .357 magnum dies. It did not work well. The problem was the CRIMP DIE. It wouldn't fully crimp, even with the brass shoved up all the way. The die chamber was too long. The leading brass edge SCRAPED going into the...

Auto pro I've never had any success with the adjustable disk, and for awhile I was having trouble with the fixed disks also. Turns out that the powder measure HAS to be FULLY screwed into the die, And it DOES work lose, at least with the turret press. If it's not screwed tight, the arm...

clean dies I've had a similar problem. It turned out that the bullet lube getting in the die. This was with cast bullets. I had to take the die apart and scrape all the wax out and then reassemble it. I've had it happen twice since I started reloading

.22 magnum. In the dating of cartridges, you are all missing an important point. There was (is) a cartridge BETWEEN .22 rf and .22 magnum. it was the .22 WRF ( Winchester Rim Fire) I believe it was the predecessor to the .22 mag. Physically it was the same size as the .22 mag, except the...

Ruger Security Six :) I've had a SS 4 inch for YEARS. Biggest problem is mine is the original model (170 series if I remember right) It had a flared butt, and finding grips for it is a frustration. I had wanted Pacmyers, but they didn't make them for the original series. Another problem-...

Don't forget to do the hole in the cylinder also. That opening in a lot longer and can bind also.Clean and lube, see if the pin drags whit pushed thru the cylinder. You shouldn't need any tools to remove the pin and cylinder

moonclips Snooperman. I shoot BOTH a 1917 AND a Model 25. I don't use moonclips on either. And I just pop the empties out with my fingernail. They are not tight in the cylinder, and have never had a problem ever, even with Wolf

9mm revolver I've seen a couple of 9mm revolvers. But the biggest problem:banghead: I've seen is that they have a .38 sized cylinder. They could make the gun smaller if they used a shorter cylinder and maybe the extra length in the barrel .. That extra cylinder length adds needless weight...

I have a pre 17 S&W and a Ruger Single 6. I hate to say it, but the Ruger is more accurate. I also have a Colt Huntsman, and both beat it.

judge You're forgetting the main purpose of this gun--to sell lots of guns to people that wouldn't normally buy a gun. Me? today I bought a 625 performance center at a gun show. I'll take a .45 ACP w/4 inch barrel over a Judge any day.

.44 vs .45ACP To me, the main difference is that you can buy .45ACP just about anywhere, even Walmart. But finding .44 SPL is a LOT HARDER. Also, in factory loadings, the .45ACP has a LOT of options in loading 185-230 grain, FMJ, hollowpoints, etc. .44 SPL, if you can find them , are...

i use a jacketed bullet in the hotter loads and lead in normal loads. and if you also shoot .44 mag, don't mix .44s and .45s. I've seen .45 Colts chamber .44 mag. talk about a ruined day.

i haveboth the .45 convertible and the .357/9mm convertible. I think they are GREAT. i have had excellent results for both. if you don't reload, or don't like to, they are a godsend. 9mm and .45acp are the two cheapest centerfire handgun rounds you can buy. There is a very wide availablity...
