Hi, I'm writing this to see if anyone else shares my opinion? I think that if any effective ideas about reducing mass-shootings are born - they will come from the firearms community. I'm 66. I belong to two Rod & Gun Clubs and I shoot a lot of trap and pin competitions. I've re-loaded both...

I bought a used Sig 1911 Target and immediately had bad jamming problems. I read on various Forums that the Wilson Combat Mags were great and I bought two. Sure enough they fixed the jamming problem 100%. I'm not knocking Sig because it was used gun. The previous owner might have altered the...

Guys, Yes. Those bullets were re-crimped. My normal crimp isn't that much on .45 acp. I test in a SAMMI Gage and in my 1911 chamber to make sure my reloads are not too big. I now understand what you are saying about the Expander and the Flaring Die. I didn't get that at first? I'll...

Thanks guys. I use RCBS Dies for .45ACP. I'm always impressed with the great body of collective wisdom & experience on this Forum. Even 25 years ago - where would the average guy learn this stuff? Let alone in 1 day. a.) I'm going to check my expanding procedure. I usually expand so the...

I reload .45ACP for a S&W 625. I use the flexible, plastic Moon Clips. I've noticed that with FMJ bullets, the recoil yanks them out of the casing's crimp? At a Pin Shoot two weeks ago, I'd sometimes shoot like 4 shots and eject the Moon Clip - the two unfired cartridges would have the FMJ...

This is probably a dumb question. In Massachusetts, when I buy a gun at an FFL - I must get the FBI Fingerprint Check and fill out the State Form. What information is recorded by the State and Federal Government and which Agencies stores it? Who traces firearms by serial numbers....the State...

I do. It's educational to learn the operation and characteristics of various firerams and then trade them in for differenr models.

Put 150 rounds thru it. Very impressed. Very accurate. Super easy to clean. Taking my MKIII back for resale. So far a GREAT little pistol. As good at 50' as a Ruger MK III. Very, very nice design.

I bought a 1990 BT-99 + at Kittery last week.I really like the Shotgun. I've been shooting Trap with an 870 Competition w/ a Jack West Stock. I wanted a shotgun with a higher rib and the adjustible comb and recoil reducer built-in. I put 4 rounds of Trap thru it and the ejector broke. I...

That Remington illustration solves the problem for me! Thanks, for the help!

I've been Trap Shooting about 2-years. My League average is 21.50 +/-. THe one thing that confuses me is foot position on the 5 Stations. I have books. I have Harlan Campbell's DVD.....I'm still confused as hell. I'd really like to see Foot & Torso Positions for a right handed shooter...

I just began reloading. I really got into Trap the past year. I have the Lyman Manual and I know how to get on the Hodgen Website. Here goes.....I've been reloading 17.0 grains of Clays in Winchester AA Hulls with Winchester Primers and 1.10 ounces of 7.5 shot. (I weigh everything in two...

Guys, Thanks for the great advice. It's 1 oz. Loads for me. At least for practice. In my League......I might go up to 1-1/8 oz. John

Just getting started. I bought: 50 lbs. of #8 Lead 1,000 Win AA Hulls Brick of Win Primers 4 lbs. of Clays and 1,000 WAA12SL Wads (pink) I had hoped to reload 1-1/8" oz. Target Loads of #8 Lead like I shoot Trap with but I was too dumb to know that a WAA12SL Wad was different than a...
