    What am I doing wrong?

    I used to use Berry’s bullets but ended up just going back to lead SWC . I agree with some of the comments about them they are not for everyone if you go to Berry’s website they tell you to only put a light crimp on them but that never worked for me,they tell you that because if you cut the...

    Best 9mm 1911?

    Listen to what others have said - Send it back to S&W they have fixed anything I have ever sent back to them and properly. The most trouble free 9 mm I have is my S&W 929 PC revolver it just never fails.

    Hodgdon Powder acquires RCBS from Vista Outdoor

    I think this is a great fit reason being if they would have landed in a investment firm they would sucked the profits out of them and sold them again or worse just closed them once they got done with them. I will explain as I used to be a dairy farmer, White motor company bought Oliver Farm...

    My first gun I bought a Ruger K97 DC in 45 auto bought it 29 years ago I just don’t shoot it to much anymore but after finding it in the back of my safe the other day I think it needs to get to the range again on a more regular basis. I used to shoot it a lot but as we all know as you get more...

    Wadcutters tumbling?

    I use the MBC wad cutter with the same load you are , the load is fine I shoot them out of a S&W 14-2 6 inch barrel once in a while they just tumble they are not very aerodynamic which I think has something to do with it. Also I find if I don’t put a light to medium crimp on them that can make...

    Thompson Center Arms SOLD

    I would like to say Ruger only because of there success with Marlin if that would happen think of the market they would have by including Thompson Center in there lineup. It would set them apart from all others as Americas Premier Gun Company they would be a power house in the industry.

    Plated bullet data = lead? = jacketed?

    Use lead data it is what was always recommended when plated bullets came out was to use lead data and still a good rule of thumb to follow.

    They made a huge mistake dropping the Range Officer line mine is in 45 the only thing I did was put in a Swenson 2 piece full length guide rod I am considering having it ported with V-10 porting by SW Precision.
