Hello :), I have an old 700-X powder 8 oz. metal can labeled Du Pont, identical to the not-so-old IMR-labeled metal cans. Someone knows when the can label was changed from DuPont to IMR, please? Thanks in advance, Maxm

I found some old Winchester WLP primers, the nickeled ones in the white box with orange/red bands. Lot is FBL328G294. I'd like to know their manufacturing date, someone can help me by deciphering the lot code, please? I sent an e-mail to Winchester without reply. TIA, Maxm

There are few load data with N330 for 9x19 and 9x21 ammo. In my very first trials, I've found with surprise that I have to use powder charges only slightly lighter than with VV N340. I'd like to read your loads with this powder, especially with 124 grains and heavier bullets (lead, plated...

I have two questions for you, please. 1) I've observed that magnum primers improve speed and SD results with some powders, usually double-based. Do you know if AA5 likes magnum primers better than standard ones? 2) Would you be so kind to share your experience with AA5? I'd like to find a...

I love to read about the "best" european and american shotguns, especially the older ones. Can you suggest some good forum about them? I like especially technical discussions about the manufacturing process (damascus, barrels,stocks, locks, etc.). TIA, Maxm

Not a very smart question, I know :( ... but can kindly explain to me what's the way to measure a radius? For example: what's a .0625 , or 1/16, radius? Thanks, Maxm

Tuner, Fuff, Dave, Jim, Stans and many others, the skill and knowledge you put in your posts is really outstanding! I was impressed, for example, by the interest and experience Tuner has regarding 1911 springs. For what I can tell, it's the only (except someone in Brian Enos' Forums) that...

Can someone give me some suggestions about the best way to maintain some old gun parts (buttplate and forend tip of a beautiful 1884 W.W. Greener shotgun) made of horn? They are still in very good condition and I'd like to preserve them. Thanks, Maxm

Hello 1911Tuner, I'm exceedingly boring, I know...:rolleyes: , but have you completed your trials about the 1911 Wolff variable recoil springs ? I'd really like to know your judgement! Very best regards, MAXM

I've mounted in my Colt NRM 1991 this firing pin stop (thanks Tuner, for your fitting counseils) and I'm satisfied, it seems to offer a real altough slight delay in unlocking. What's your experience with this piece? Regards, MAXM

I'd like to obtain factory power (830-850 fps) from 45 ACP reloads with plated 230 RN bullets. Usually I adopt an OAL from 1.265 to 1.270. Can you kindly suggest me some loads with VV N340 powder? Thanks to all, MAXM

1911Tuner, you wrote that a too light 1911 mainspring can cause hammer "bounce". Could you kindly explain in detail this effect? Thanks, MAXM

at last I did it! After 1400 rounds - most reloads with all weight/style bullets, battered brass, etc etc - I found the way to have a FTF, the first, with my Colt 1991 NRM 5". As my pistol suffers of a slightly anticipated unlocking (I'll try to put in an EGW oversized FP stop, many thanks...
