    Question for experienced cast bullet guru.

    The MAX load listed is just over the Webley's rated pressure of 13400. (6 British tons). The minimum should be well within the range,. IF the data is accurate, which is the question. How good is LEE's data? I have 9 other books, but none have loads for bullets heavier than 238gr.

    Question for experienced cast bullet guru.

    I'm loading 255gr cast bullets in 45 auto rim for an old Webley. LEE 2nd edition has some good looking data using Accurate #7, 255gr cast loaded to 1.250, starting load of 8.6gr @ 744fps, max load 9.5gr @ 846fps - 13,600 cup. I like to confirm data from a second source, but there is almost no...

    How do you recover?

    This is one of the things I was taught to do. An old Korean War era Gunny taught me, drop the mag, rack twice, visually verify the chamber is clear, stick your pinkie in the chamber in case there is an invisible bullet there. Like every single other part of gun safety, do it every single...

    Do you like your local gun shop?

    A few weeks ago I would have said no. I had just purchased a new firearm from them 10 days earlier and I purchased a rifle they did not carry from an auction site. I went in to see about having it shipped to their FFL and was told that they have a graduated scale for the charge depending on...

    Is The 45ACP Too Slow?

    The 45ACP, sorry to say, IS too slow. It can readily be dodged by mall ninjas. John

    What metal do you like?

    The best knife I own has a blade of a material called Stellite K6. It's a material used for cutting tools to work steel. It's the only one the guy ever made of that material, he said it's just too hard to work with. It is hell to sharpen, too, but you don't have to do so often. John

    New US AK-47 Manufacturer

    I hate to say this, but someone should. From your post you plan on buying components off the shelf, just like any home builder would. "I having 0 heat treating capability, and I don't know how these people build their own furnaces, but I'm not that talented." "After that I can use this 12...

    Best IWB holster for Glock 19?

    I use a Bianchi Pistol Pocket. The angle is adjustable which makes for a really versatile holster and it's really well made. More important, in my opinion, is a really good gun belt. Lots of good holsters, none of them will do squat for you on a wimpy belt. John

    Kel Tec Sub 2000 9MM-Anyone have experience with these?

    Mine has the Glock 19 frame to match my carry pistol. I've added the Houge grip sleeve, the tube cover and the buffer. I also added an AK rail to the right side of the forend, shimmed parallel to the barrel and turned backward to take a QD mount from the front side so that it goes on without...

    Gander Mountain going out of business?

    For mailorder reloading supplies, Powder Valley is far better than Midway. So is Widener's. Tight markets hurt businesses that are not competitive first. That pretty much describes Gander Mountain. John

    Advice on powder

    I've been using Universal Clays for 9mm and 38spl. I recently have switch VV N330 for my 9mm, not because I was unhappy with the Hodgdon, but because of the performance of the N330. The Universal is clean burning and easy to work with. The N330 is also pretty clean, but gives me over 1350fps...

    Im looking for an AK-47 education

    I find Suarez' information spot on and his suggestions make sense to me. I've never had any reason to mistrust his advice, just recognize that what works for others may not be "best" for you. As for the Saiga, the purchase price is cheap, and if you are going to keep it "stock" I suppose they...
