I never had a permit for years and never gave it much thought but after I started gun collecting and getting more involved with shooting sports I starting applying for permits that would cover me in the states I travel in. Now I have 5 permits that cover me in approx. 26 states. I have a...

It’s all relative to the weight of the gun in my opinion. The .357 Mag. in a light weight gun like S&W’s 11 or 12 ounce snubby’s has a more brutal quick snap recoil that feels like it will rip your thumb off and it also hurts your wrist compared to a loud boom and the muzzle raising up...

There's only one Dark Side and that's us Black Powder Shooters:neener: :D

How much do I know about 1911’s? Hummm, let me see. Well, I know if there weren’t any 1911’s around a lot of writers for gun magazines would be out of work cause you can’t buy a gun magazine anymore unless over half the pages are filled up with stories and pictures of’em.:rolleyes: DE

I've also got a gripe about the S$W Stainless Steel Revolvers what the heck is that dang ugly black trigger and hammer doing on a shiny stainless steel gun. I've got an older Model 66 .357 Mag. with a satin looking finish on the hammer and trigger that matches the stainless finish of the gun...

I started reloading shotgun shells when I was 12 years old in 1962 with a Lee Loader. Loading by hand was slow but I could load up enough ammo during the evenings after school to be ready for Dove hunting by the weekend. We also took our shotguns to school if we were going to be spending the...

No need in handling brass any more times than necessary. Tumble, deprime and reload that's all ya need to do. I've used Corn Cob Media with Brasso for years that cleans them fast and clean without a problem. There's an old wife's tales about ammonia weakening brass that many of us old kids know...

Something everybody needs to do after they've had a trigger job is test the gun using lots of different ammo. I did a spring change out on one of my carry guns sometime back and test fired it using my reloads which had soft federal primers in them. I forgot to run some factory ammo through it...

For me it’s the “bigger is better†thing that I like as far as calibers go. My favorite calibers are the .50AE and the .50 S&W Mag. But, when I want something easy to carry it’s the “smaller the better†with the biggest BOOM that is my favorite, which is why I carry a Kel-Tec P-3AT a...

These deformed cases resize in the sizing die just fine when I reload but what really counts is that the gun is ejecting them. As long as it's working good I wouldn't worry about some dinged cases. DE

Besides making a good crimp the most important thing Lee's Factory Crimp Die does is post size the casing after the bullet seating has made bulges in it. DE

Well let me try it again maybe I'll get it right this time. DE

Messed this one up so I posted a link to the picture below. DE

I use a couple of large round plastic vegetable strainers used for cleaning vegetables that look like a plastic pan with holes in it that I found at a good will store and I punched out the holes a little bigger to let more of the media fall though. I shake my brass around in one of them over a...

The best thing about the Lee Factory Crimp Die is that it post sizes the round when you crimp to take out any bulges from seating the bullet. Far as I can remember I've never collapsed a case with a Lee Factory Crimp Die but I have with regular dies. I have the Lee Factory Crimp Die with all my...

I can do 2 rounds a minute and not break a sweat and I regularly do that (actually with .38's or .357's closer to 3 rounds per minute) with straight walled pistol rounds and that's 120 rounds an hour easy. I also prime mine when I load at the same time to keep from having to handle the rounds...

I've never encountered anything like that in all the time I been reloading? Did you wash your brass before reloading it? Did you possibly get oil in it instead of water somehow? That is really puzzling to me and would want to get to the bottom of that before I shot any more of the reloads. You...

I use Hodgdon's data on their web site at www.hodgdon.com and load up ammo for plinking from their cowboy section for the 45 Colt using HP-38. For hotter rounds I use the H-110 loads from the pistol section data on their web site. I've always had good results with these two powders. And I also...

Thanks DE
