I purchased a box of Berry's 185gn 45 ACP Hybrid HPs(Beta) a while back as they were touted to be worthy of being usable for self defense. They supposedly will do a good job of expanding vs their other HPs that are for target use only. I will have a bit of me-time coming up and want to check...

Here it goes again, another seemingly stupid/senseless shooting. Since I live here in Charleston SC, I'll bring it up. "Police identify gunman who killed nine in South Carolina church attack" http://news.yahoo.com/shooting-erupts-church-charleston-south-carolina-021744448.html I guess I...

I built a 5.56 AR-15 last year, finaly laddered up some loads last month and the results aren't what I expected. I had to use AA-2460 as this all I had. Projectiles were Bullet Heads .224 jacketed boattails with canelure. I know these are not in anyway precision type projectiles but I...

My son is looking to build an AR-10 .308 on a PSA lower and concerned that the available barrels from PSA are only 16 & 18 inches. Is it really necessary to have a 20" or plus length barrel to get an accurate hunting rifle? I have always had the impression that burn time of the powder could be...

I'm making my yearly cross country RV trip and decided to dry camp in the Walmart parking lot in Miles City, MT as we were needing a grocery stop anyway. While the wife picked up the needs, I checked out the spporting area. Still no 22LR but they had an AR, lots of different reloading die...

I'm sorry, but after posting in the 'Victim shoots kidnapper' thread, I realized that I had done a little hijacking. Then the more I thought about it the more I thought this should be a new thread. Owen Sparks stated that if only we had some no kidnapping signs up the young lady wouldn't...

My first venture into pistol reloading was with 380 ACP. That was 15-20 years ago. My pistol was a WWII aged Husqvarna Browning Short. I reloaded 90-95 gr fmj and then plated bullets over Unique in the mid and just above mid range. Tried them out in the Browning Short for around 250 rnds...

Just want to put a little unexpected evidence on the table about the "anemic" little 380 ACP. I do understand its limitations but still carry a TCP myself due to my lifestyle allowing me to maintain residences in warm/hot weather climates year round. I previously felt it was at least a good...

I've been reloading for the last 15 or so years, nowadays, for the economics in handgun calibers (.380, 9mm, .40, 45 ACP). Early on I cast my own and was satisfied except for the leading that sometimes occurred. I see now that I was going about it wrong trying to reduce loads to stop this...

I have a Baby Eagle .40 cal with 2 high cap mags and 2 - 10 rnd mags. The gun feels great and shoots very accurately. The problem is that all four mags will not drop out freely. They drop free about an inch then hang up and I have to pull firmly to get them out. Pushing and holding the mag...

I've got a 1969 S/N 100- carbine that was failing to rechamber a shell every once in a while. Upon taking it down, I found that the little tab on the front of the aluminum trigger assembly was broken off resulting is an occational misfeed. I guess I bought it like that (no wonder it was such a...

I have a 1930 version of the model 11 that doesn't have "Model 11" stamped anywhere on the receiver or barrel and it's all original. I've fired slugs, a lot of buckshot, No. 2s and various bird shot. My Problem: I now see that I have been shooting this great old gun for nearly 50 years with...
