Also, have you shot the gun from a MECHANICAL REST? The attached picture was taken 9 years ago when I first got into reloading 45 ACP. Shots at 25 yds. Nosler 185 gr JHP, powder is VihtaVuori N 310, and at that time primers were CCI. After Obama came into office, I switched to Federal...

My son's father-in-law has an extensive collection of guns from the Civil War, World War I, as well as modern guns of all varieties. A collection large enough to warrant the walkin safe that he stores them in. He invites you to use any gun in his collection, but his first choice has always been...

The amount of brass that I have in 45 ACP can best be measured in pounds. I have a enough CCI brass to last a lifetime. As an instructor you may agree that less experienced shooters should be concentrating on consistent grip and trigger control as well as keeping the front sight focused. Brass...

As you well know fitting a swivel bushing and barrel together requires patience. The first time I fit the bushing to the barrel, the barrel only went halfway into the bushing. A slight bit of tapping got the bushing on to the barrel and a slight bit of tapping got the bushing off. Examination...

Gentlemen, I have not given up on range brass and I will explain why. I do not shoot in competition and I am not willing to give up drinking coffee. I am confident that I have the correct bullet, powder and primer. My issues with reloading 45 ACP has always been keeping the bullet concentric...

My thinking when reloading 45 ACP, it is low pressure, low temperature, low velocity. I've always been a fanatic for detail when reloading rifle. My 45 reloads are considerably more accurate than blazer. Years ago when my son was shooting in bull's-eye competition he only used one make a brass...

The first thing I noticed when I walked into his shop was the wall of awards and trophies. One of the awards was for IDPA world champion. Didn't see which year it was for, I was too busy answering his questions. He also showed me the target that was used, dated and noting the make. I assume he...

I own a Kimber 1911 grand rapture that I have never been pleased with its accuracy. Over the years when I have taken it to the range, it has always had flyers. In comparison, I own a Smith & Wesson model 945 that has never had flyers and shoots very accurately with the same handloads. After...

"Going by Swiss target shooter reports, its life cycle is over 60,000 rounds" You posted that 4 years ago. Now it's over a quarter million??? You've out done yourself. LOL

On the subject of the P-210, I find a reliable source: On the negative side is the hammerbite, less then optimum mag catch, and the frames isn't the most durable (except for the improved versions released in later years). Shooting hard swedish surplus ammo will crack the frames fast, but with...
