Stars and Astras are very nice handguns. Very underrated by the "experts".

H&G #68. Functions well in all my 45acp pistols

I just received the primers ($224/5K) I bought. That is 4 days after I ordered them. I would not hesitate to do business with them again.

I save one pound containers. most of which hold more than a pound, and fill from the huge containers. I label these using painters tape with the powder type, lot number and date. . More convenient for me. I have been doing this for years

Love my Winchester Model 12 16ga. My father gave it to me. I have hunted with it since a teen. The bluing is almost all gone. Its action is the smoothest. My dad bought it from a fellow pilot who got orders to Korea. It was made in 1929. It has seen a lot of use and love. I would never sell...

Hiking or not hiking. I carry a firearm all the time. You do not get to choose when you will need to protect yourself or others from harm.

The Rossi model 720 (44spl) is a solid revolver. I have reloaded for two of them (200-225grn) and have kept most loads under 1000fps. They handle hotter loads with no problem but I do not like to feed any gun a steady diet of hot loads. These Rossi's are good guns IMHO

Hit them harder, looks like light strikes.

Went to range today and put about 100 rounds through it. I can't say enough good things about this pistol. I love the sights and it has a great trigger. More later. Best wishes!

I just bought a Steyr C9-A2. I have wanted one for a while and finally got one at a price (299.00 @Bereli) I couldn't ignore, It has great reviews online. I would like hear about any hands on experiences. Best Wishes!

AA9 Bluedot 800X Longshot are your friends. Many good loads with these powders. AA9 12.5 MAX 180XTP 1.260 COL 1100+/-FPS Glock 20 THIS IS A MAX LOAD FOR ME. WHAT YOU DO IS YOUR BUSINESS!

So the boxes aren't pretty. What's the problem?

I have a couple of Taurus revolvers from the mid 1980s. They are both all steel 3" barrel 6 shot 357 magnums. I have shot them thousands of times. Almost all reloads although never max loads. Many 80-90% of max. at most. Most are moderate loads but in the 357 range. They are still as tight as...

I have been holding out before buying a chrono. Technology is advancing by leaps and bounds. I finally bought a Garmin Xero C1. I used it at the indoor range shooting my Arex Delta Gen 2 with different loads. Boy is it a jewel. It is everything I hoped it to be. Very intuitive and easy to use...

I go through the discard bin at my range. Mostly I find 22LR that have a strike on the rim. If only one strike I will fire again and most often they go off. If they have several strikes I leave them. Other than 22LR I find 9mm ( and others) that have light strikes. These almost always go off...
