As some of you know I got a smoking deal on a RL550B at a garage sale on Friday while working up in Duluth. $55 for the press still in the box unopened and a 9mm Caliber Conversion kit. I set the press up Friday night. I decided to run a few rounds and see how it would shake out. Since I have...

With my job I do a ton of driving, from service call to service call. Some days I am 10 miles from home and other days I am 400 miles from home. I see a lot of signs for garage sales all summer long, if I have time I will stop at some. Yesterday I was about 200 miles from home working and saw...

I found out the other day that my biggest problem with low left and bad follow up shots lays a lot on my gun. I have a Gen3 G17 RTF2. I have learned my hands are to small to get the proper grip on the gun and keep that grip. I was talking to a guy and he suggested a new Gen4 without a back strap...

As some of you know I am fairly new to guns. I shot a gun for the 1st time on my 30th birthday, which was a year ago. Up to this point all I have are a few pistols. I now have the bug to get a rifle, I want to get an AR-15. I have been doing a ton of research for the last few weeks, I don’t feel...

Long story short I ened up with two case gages for 9mm. I have a L.E. Wilson and a Dillon. I know my length is fine because I check with a caliper. I just filled a 50 count box of rounds that went throught the L.E. Wilson just fine. To do that I ended up with 18 rounds that didn't pass the test...

I want to replace the sights on my G17. I think I have decided on Truglo TFO's. I can get them locally and they will install them while I wait at no charge. I have done a ton of research and I have held them in my hand. I still can’t decide if I want all green or green in the front and yellow in...

I want to buy another gun but the funds just aren't there for what I want. I am thinking about making the trigger on my G17 better. I plan on doing some matches this summer. I want to shoot in production class (USPSA). I am still new to match shooting and shooting in general. I found the...

:banghead::banghead::banghead: First I will give you the details. I am only reloading 9mm. I am shooting them out of a G17. I am using winchester primers, a few different powders and Montana Gold Bullets 115g and 147g. I am shooting my test loads at an indoor range, 7 yards off of a sandbag...

On another forum there is a thread that has drifted into talk about hammered pistols without a decocker. So you load the gun, grab the hammer and pull the trigger to drop the hammer to half cocked. Yes I know I'm still a newbie and all but this just seems like a bad idea to me. What if the...

I know there are a lot of people that say there is no reason to sort by headstamp when reloading 9mm. I guess the OCD in me takes over, because I can stand it not sorting my brass. Up until now I would sort in to three buckets. Federal, Winchester and everything else. The majority of the brass...

I was shooting in a USPSA style match last night. I noticed some people's guns really shoot a big flame out of the barrel. Others don't really have a flame to speak of. I assume this is from there powder choice. Are there some powders out there known for shooting fire? I would like to find one...

The title really says how far I have gotten. Background first. I have a G17, two .22lr autoloaders and one .22lr revolver. I like my G17. I want a new gun but I have no clue what to get. I do want a center fire I know that. My price limit is around $500 but that can be pushed up if need be. I...

I got into shooting pistols last spring. I love it, every single thing about it. After my first time I told my wife you should really come with, I think you would enjoy it. She had absolutely no interest at all. A friend of the family that has some land and a 200 yard range told me many times to...

Two weeks ago I shot in my 1st IPSC style match and I had a ton of fun. Something that was brought up to me is some steel matches this summer about an hour away from my house, which sounds really fun to me. I plan on giving it a go. One problem I have is I own one center fire pistol, which is a...

I just tried to de-primer my thumb. Man that hurts like hell. That's all I have carry on.:banghead:

I got to thinking on my way home. How does bullet weight affect recoil? I shot my 1st IPSC match last Thursday. The name of the game is speed and accuracy. The faster I can get the sights back on the target the better. I am shooting 115g bullets right now. The only reason I am shooting 115g is...

I shot in my 1st match Thursday night. These guys put on a match every other Thursday at the indoor range during the winter. It is not a sanctioned event but they use there rules as a guide line. I shot the only center fire pistol I own a G17 RTF2. I have been saving my pennies to get a new...

I have been asking all sorts of questions lately on the reloading forum. Questions like why keep working up, what powders for 9mm, can I shoot reloads out of a Glock and stuff like that. I found out what works really well for HP-38 pushing a 115g FMJ bullet. I tried 4.5g shooting 10 rounds off a...

I am thinking about a new pistol. I will probably be buying something in the next few months. A little history on me. I started shooting March of this year. I started off with a few .22lr pistols. I bought a G17 in May and I am now reloading 9mm. When I go to the range I bring a box or two of...

Like the title says, for those of you that print your own targets. Where are you getting them from and what ones are you using? I did a Google search and founds some. I am just looking to see what other people have found. Do you use just regular paper or are you getting thicker paper for targets?
