    PDP vs Glock 34 Range Day

    I went to the range today to rent a 4.5” PDP and a Gen5 Glock 34 . They told me when I called that they had the 4.5” model , but when I got there it was the 4” model . Maybe not a fair comparison , because of the longer barrel length of the Glock , but the PDP had the better trigger . I shot the...

    The Making of the Western Replica

    I saw a TV show last night and it was about how things are made . One of the products was a Italian Colt SAA clone . They didn’t name the company . It showed them testing the clicks and it had 3 clicks . I was surprised to see the way that they tightened the barrel to the frame . They use a big...

    Xtreme 200gr FN Bullets

    I am trying these bullets in a .45acp and don’t see any loading information on them . They pluck at 1.195 in my barrel . How deep would you seat them . I worked up and loaded 25 rounds at 1.19 . They weren’t that accurate , but they ran with no malfunctions . I was thinking about seating them to...

    Colt MK VI 70 Series Dented Cases

    What do you think is causing these dents in the mouth of my brass ? Does the extractor need tuning , or is it my reloads ? This is a pistol that I bought about 10 years ago and this is the first time shooting it with my reloads . It’s not denting all of the case . It is denting about 1/3 of them...

    What bullet and powder would you use for a .38 special with a 1 7/8 inch barrel if you were to load for defense purposes ? I know a lot of people won’t load their own for that , but I don’t want that to be the subject in this thread .

    BE-86

    I have been looking for a one powder for 9mm , .38 , .357 and .45 acp and maybe 45c .

Still high from just a few years ago like most of the...

    RMR Bullets Packaging

    I just received my first order of RMR bullets today . While I appreciate keeping the cost down , the way they were packaged leaves a lot to be desired . If they package them , they just wrapped a USPS box with layers of packaging tape . I could hardly get it off . I thought that I was going to...

    Good Rabbit Hunt Today

    We went to one of our best places today . It’s 3000 acres of privately owned land . We probably only walked 10 acres of it and killed most of the rabbits in a 3 acre area . Five of us were hunting and we had 8 dogs down . They ran great and the hunters did good . We went 10 for 10 . I cleaned my...
