    Remington primer problem?

    PhotoBiker- you make a great point. Will do that from now on. I do know that I switched to Bullseye for 9mm, and those are with Remingtons. But thanks for the tip. Chuck

    Remington primer problem?

    gamestalker- the .38's today had deep indentations, and didn't fire with a second strike. 9mm's sometimes did, sometimes didn't. Chuck

    Remington primer problem?

    Hi, guys and gals. I've been loading for a number of years now, and have loaded well up in five figures of cartridges. Nary an issue. I now seem to have a new problem. The last 2000 small pistol primers I used were Federal- 1000 standard, 1000 match. Never had a problem. Now I'm getting FTF's...

    Bullet question- FMJ or Plated

    Then there's the issue of lead exposure. The large majority of my shooting is at indoor ranges. Full metal jacket bullets have an exposed lead base, which can create a bit of lead vapor with each shot. Complete metal jacket bullets CMJ) do not have an exposed base, but are more expensive, and...

    Bersa Thunder .380 Jamming Issue

    Is the gun under warranty? If it is, don't mess with it. Send it in for correction. Thet should pay shipping both ways.

    XD 9mm

    Yup. 4-5 pounds. Don't push your luck. When the adrenalin is coursing through your body, 4 pounds will feel like nothing. 2.5? Dangerous. Chuck

    Earth shattering discovery for me

    "Now you need to move to the head of the class and shoot a Python. Watch out. Once you're Snake bit there's no cure. You're in for a lifetime of lust and poverty." I agree- to a point. For many years, the Pythons were hand fitted, and were outstanding. Later models had less of that attention...

    FMJ vs Plated?

    "YOU MUST USE SLOW BURNING POWDERS TO GET THE MOST ACCURACY here is a note from a guy from Hipowerandhandguns.com that speak about this http://www.texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5984" Never heard that before. The late Mr. Camp was/is worth listening to, though. Any other opinions...

    Berry Cast Bullets

    Hi, LBEE. Loaded many thousands of 9mm and .38. Like 'em a lot. But perhaps you should do a search here for "Berry's" or "plated bullets". Lots of related threads. Chuck

    Odd Looking CCI Blazer, Dull Silver Cases

    If the boxes were marked "Blazer", they're aluminum cases. They would have to be labeled "Blazer Brass" to be brass. Chuck

    Springfield XDm9 - won't fire

    Rinspeed nailed the problem I had with my XD9. I removed the striker and cleaned the channel, but still got mildly indented primers. Once I removed the firing pin itself, and cleaned it and its channel thoroughly, I have run many hundreds of rounds trhrough it without a FTF. As far as a cracked...
