Just got a job working at Trane in Lynn Haven , Fl. Working the line. During training, nothing was ever mentioned about firearms , and nothing is posted. I have a permit and wold like to carry. Does anyone know their policy?
4 revolvers , S&W 686+ , Ruger GP100 , S&W Mod 28 , brand new Ruger Sp101
4 loads , all 158 Gr jhp / jsp
14.0 2400
16.5 H-110
8.0 Power pistol
6.3 CSB-1
all loads work fine in every gun EXCEPT the SP-101 , all show sticky extraction in that one to a degree.Removing them one at a time...
Just got some 9MM Zero 147 gr JHP's. The have a step at the base. i have never seen this on any other bullet, though I havent loaded a lot of 9mm yet.
What is the purpose of this? Can I seat these without expanding the case?

Ok, so I had loaded some 9mm 115 JHP's a couple years ago for a sig P250 my wife had. She didnt like it so I got rid of it. Just bought her a XD9 SC.
loaded as follows;
115 Gr Horn XTP 5.2 grains W231 @ 1.050
115 Gr Sierra JHP 5.2 grains W231 @ 1.015
My concern is that the old Hornandy...
Just got back from a trip where we had to drive through MS. Both my wife and I have AR CCW permits.Stopped in a little town called New Augusta to get gas and a bite to eat. Big sign on the door of the gas station/convience store " No guns allowed". There was a Wards hamburger place next door...
The wife and I will be driving from Arkansas to Florida next week. We will be going through Mississippi and Alabama ( possible a small stretch of louisiana) on the way. We both have CCW permits, and will be carrying, and probably have a spare or 2 in the car.
Any special things to be aware of...
Got some zero 165 JHP.Loading with Power Pistol . The closest published data I could find was speer
They show 7.0 (978 fps) to 7.8 ( 1081fps)
I decided to go with 7.1. They feel pretty stout, and chrono at 1100 FPS from my XD40. They are extremelly accurate.
Any opinions ? is this too hot...
Ok, so it seems to be pretty much accepted that a firm crimp is needed when loading 357 magnums. So, why is it, that every factory 357 i have ever seen has little to no discernible crimp ?
JIM
Supposing you have a load with published, safe data. In this example a 180 gr cast for a .40 S&W. If you need to substitute a different profile ( but same weight ) bullet that may be longer, or need to seat deep to accomodate a certain gun , is it safe to assume that as long as the velocity is...
Since primers are so hard to get right now, I thought I would post these results;
158 SWC , winchester primers
HI / LOW AVG
38 special 4.0 gr W231
standard primer 772/731 754
Magnum primer 783/739 763

Standard primer 1169/1111 1143

How is it thousands upon thousands of people can be organized to go to Washington to protest a pipeline? Yet, even though there are way more of us that that group, it appears we do nothing. We talk amongst ourselves, we post on forums, but we don't really do anything. If we don't figure a way to...
I have heard that the FCD will resize lead bullets, but have never pulled any to test that theory. What I did just discover, is that it will loosen the bullets. I had loaded some coated lead bullets, and used the FCD. I put one on the bench and was able to push the bullet deeper by hand. Took a...
Loaded some Ranier 165 plated. I usually dont use them but right now i take what I can get. ANyway, 4.7 grains W231 @ 1.120. They wont cyle in the FNX, jams failure to eject every 3 rounds or so, though they shot fine from my XD.
I am thinking they are just to light to reliably cycle.
Any...
Bought a bunch of 158 flat point from thebulletworks.net . Seated them to the crimp groove, which made the OAL 1.480. They wont chamber in any of my revolvers correctly. That is they either wont allow the cylinder to close, or if it does it drags.
Question is, should I attempt to seat the...
Been using PP for my 40, so I thought I would give it a try in .357 Magnum.
I really like it. Within 100FPS of full power H-110 loads with a fraction the blast / recoil , and less than half the powder. Especially like the way it works in the short barrel
158 Grain Missouri Bullet SWC
8.0...
I loaded some 155 Grain XTP's with 8.5 Grains Power Pistol ( just under max according to latest hornady manual ) Shooting from my XD40
Every couple of rounds, it locks the slide open, even though it isnt empty. Are they just too hot? I chron'ed them at 1236 FPS
Everything else shoots just...
Anyone have any experience with ql and handgun loads? I was thinking of buying it, but..A buddy ( who only loads rifles) Let me run some numbers on his, and the results are strange.
38 special using bullseye or w231, 40 S&W using W231, 45 colt using unique, the numbers match my chrono almost...
