That was a learning lesson and thank you for all the replies. I only make one size for each caliber, I haven't changed weights or recipes in 20yrs. He thought I would know, and that's why I asked. Unfortunately he buys ammo, but I might go a little heavier in the pistol myself now. A new...

I've got an interesting question, it falls into the don't answer the phone when your buddy has been out drinking. So anyway, I figured I'd ask some people with more experience than myself. My friend has a Ruger PC9 and a Kimber 9mm. It seems he's been buying 124gr. for the Kimber and 115gr. for...

fire belching? personally I like the FAL for firebelching. :eek:

headspacing? of course. not checking is pretty silly considering the possible results.

rounds? ok, so I started counting. 2 mags on me, one rd. in the pipe, and 30 rds in the mags. So that's 31. (P95) It takes me about 3 sec to swap mags.

yeah, drag pipes are a no-no in NY. LOL

Krag I agree, they'll never give you what it's worth. I lucked out and found an old Mdl.1899 Krag carbine, and I bought it to a local gunsmith, and was told its been cut down, and he offered me $75 for it. I decided not to sell it, and after several thousand rounds, it's still one of my best...

thanks rcmodel and TonyT, lets see if this guy takes my bid of $200, it's only a 12guage press (not that I need the 20ga) but since it's older and well used, we'll see...thanks again.

Has anybody ever used one of these and what's the general opinion? seems kind of ancient, but should work, it's here at an estate sale, lots of extras, and the price seems reasonable.

^ agreed +1 cbmax Maybe I'm a little neurotic with my reloading; but after seeing a few squeezed rounds from a friend (no connalure and no crimp at all :what: ), that he made for his AR, I only use connalured bullets and crimp for myself for my semi-autos.

Krag .30-40 Took out my Krag: from the center pin to the top of the blade is 0.350". I don't know if that's going to help you, it's a model 1899 carbine.

thanks ok, ..you're right it doesn't cycle, and the pattern still sucks. :barf: Maybe I'll find a ..410 around here, this isn't NY anymore. :D

this is a little odd, but we have a small farm ; with a few Walnut trees. I've been shooting the little vagrant thieves (squirrels) with an old Remington, but I think the sights are off (alot). Normally, I use this rifle to dispatch "rat poisoned" rodents in the yard, pretty much head shots...

I've only traded one rifle, and I still regret it :( :banghead: It was an 1879 (?) Winchester .22LR single shot lever action. I'll never do that again, all my firearms are keepers to me, and after I'm gone, my friends already know who gets what... just like my bikes.

I once overheard some guy knocking my Colt HBAR AR15, he was telling his friend "it's a girly-gun". He was shooting some serious scoped hunting rifle (really big booms!!). After that comment, and a few others aimed at other people's rifles, I realized that his rifle must be the best ever...
