RR is my choice for a host of reasons... not the least of which is reliability, craftsmanship and 1.35" groups with reloads and scope at 300yds all day long. There are many fine AR's out there and now is a good time to shop. I carried and used various Colts for more than 25 years. I find...

J-Bar, Happy Birthday!!! I just had my seventieth in January so I guess we are at about the same mile marker on the big road. I'm betting that you are going to like 1911s so much you won't be able to stand it. I've got nine of 'em and usually, manage to shoot each at least every 60 days or...

I've seen this situation hundreds of times with young shooters. The best and quickest way to sort it out is to do as mentioned above> Be courteous, ask the assistance of a Bullseye shooter or other experienced 1911 hand who can keep 'em all in the 10 and X ring at 25 yds and let them test fire...

Two pristine 1909 Colts ( one USMC & one U.S. Army). I shoot them once or twice a year with duplicate 1909 (.454 dia) lead loads.

Accurate Arms #5. Burning rate in the Unique range and always meters precisely. I've had good luck with it and other Accurate powders for over 15 years.

Interestingly, my older RR Elite CAR A4 key was torqued and staked better than the key on my newer BCM BCG. Who would have guessed? With good loads the scoped RR will keep 10 rd groups under 3/4 " @ 100 yds all day long.

Easy there, gents!!! I'll wager all of you that the STREET PRICE will be $1,800 plus or minus change within 24 months...just sayin'...

Short answer: Properly anneal the case necks. "Split necks" is NOT an uncommon problem, especially with 22 CF and many wildcat cartridges, regardless of the brass manufacturer. The problem is normally with work hardening of the shoulder and neck during the manufacturing process followed by...

Another vote for the remarkable RCBS PRO 2000.

Nice going! Two other tricks which have come in handy with the 2000 are as follows: The first involves using a piece of suitably sized material like 1/2 of a shaved clothes pin to block the primer advance located below the strip (at the front of the unit). Just slip it in the "piston" opening...

$800-$1,100 is not uncommon for a used gun and they are normally worth every penny. "Annies" typically shoot in a whole different league from most other rimfires.

Lower the press handle slightly and pull the strip out the back of the press. Never try to pull the strip toward the front..i.e. opposite the direction it enters. Make sure that a loose primer, or one riding high in the strip, is not preventing it from advancing. You can reseat the primer (in...

Smith. Much stronger than a 101.

In FL you contact the local state attorney's office to secure the release of property/evidence subsequent to any court proceedings. You may want to contact the appropriate DA or SA regarding the release of your firearm.

I have loaded thousands of LSWC's in .40 S&W and .45 ACP. If you want to eliminate the cartridge as the problem, seat the bullet to a point where the shoulder is .030-.040 above the case mouth and taper crimp to .419 with a Lee FCD. This gives the bullet a bearing surface for feeding and a...
