    Shootout a squib? Powder & primer not with bullet?

    I would add two cents to the dowel rod: Lubricate the bullet with some oil while doing it

    which is more reliable: the Lee Pro 1000 or the Loadmaster?

    Matthew I vote for the Pro 1000. You don't need to run them through the LEE FCD, but it is a tremendous advantage to do it. It does get tedious to spend the extra time but well worth doing it on a single stage. What calibers are you loading for?. I've used Lee Loader, then Anniversary kit...

    9mm Trouble

    Josh, I have a Midway loadmap that lists Hornady 124gr lead RN COAL at 1.040in. AA# 2 loads start at 3.0 gr and maximum 4.3 gr. What charge are you using?

    Ruger P345

    I had a P97 and sold it after getting a p345. Paid about $365 for the former and $419 for the latter. The new one shoots much the same as the old one. Its just that the P97 was ugly. The new one looks halfway decent. The size of both is also quite similar, but the P345 is sleeker...

    My first time at skeet

    I snuck out last night between ferrying the kids to practice and shot two rounds of skeet for the first time. Talk about feeling like a "geek". I really didn't have a feel for swinging a heavy pump gun. Only got 10/25 then 11/25. Guess you have to start somewhere.

    My first time at skeet

    Campergeek, I just went out to the trap range for the first time in 25 years and felt the same nervousness about not knowing the protocol. My nervousnes dissolved after downing 19 out of 25 in each of two sessions. I had just bought the NEF Parner 12 g. and it functioned fine. I...

    That makes sense, thanks.

    What good is an overtravel adjustment...

    on a single shot rifle. In the Guns and Ammo, I reading about different good deer hunting rifles and the Thompson Center gun shows and describes having the overtravel adjustment. I would think this is only helpful on follow-up shots.

    Plastic ammo bags

    That's the only way I could figure it, but the ends of the lead wire don't stick out past the ends of the bag. Their original use might have been to keep magazines free of mud rather than loose rounds. Otherwise why not just have a zip lock on the end.

    Plastic ammo bags

    In the attached image,these surplus plastic bags have a lead metal strip on the end. If I were to use them for loose handgun rounds, how is the metal strip used to close the bag securely?

    Gp-100 Rattling

    Or maybe its the firing pin in a transfer bar system. My Taurus tracker does this.

    Tracker 627 questions

    I have a Taurus Tracker 627 Titanium 4'' barrel. You really can't compare impressions of this to the steel version. Mine's lightweight and recoils more. With the lightness the heavy factory trigger pull was too heavy to stage the trigger. I was having cylinder binding problems after less than...

    Holster for Beretta Cheetah 86FS

    The Model 86 Beretta seems to be quite different than the 84 or 85. The 86 has a round trigger guard and the others have square. Leaky Waders is your triggerguard square? I'm really striking out at the holster web sites. None list the 86

    Color me impressed by the new Ruger P345R

    Shot my new P345 yesterday. Some thoughts: -I love the look of the gun compared to the P97. -It shoots exactly the same as the P97, same trigger-pull -Excellent accuracy, great to shoot -Well worth the price $417 -Very confusing decocker. If i just remember its a decocker with an...

    Holster for Beretta Cheetah 86FS

    This gun is somewhat off the beaten path. Any suggestions for companies making IWB, OWB or even Uncle Mikes types that fit? Would a holster be the same as a round trigger guard model 84 or 87? From the August, 2004, Combat Handguns Magazine Review by Scott Wagner A GUN FOR SPECIAL NEEDS...
