I was shooting Glock 17 and a sig p229 chambered in .40. I was in a hurry, my reloads got mixed up on a target bench. I accidentally fed a lite loaded 9mm handloaded in my sig magizine. I shot it. It felt like a very lite load or a squib. The case flared up around the case mouth. The gun did...

https://www.google.com/amp/www.foxnews.com/us/2017/11/15/missouri-girl-14-faces-social-media-bullying-after-shooting-elk-mistook-for-buck.amp.html I understand we have a growing Elk population in the southern Missouri Ozarks. I found this story interesting that this Elk was killed near Columbia...

This doesn’t involve an armed citizen but it does include an armed person stopping an attacker. Rarely do I hear about how these killers are stopped. It’s a short easy read with a great interview quote from the armed police officer...

A great friend and reloading mentor just gave me a classic 60’s 870 20 gauge wingmaster. It had not been fired. It’s problem is the guy that gave to him engraved his S.S. Into the stock. It’s a 28 or 26 inch barrel with a modified choke. I want a short barreled 20. I have several other...

An old friend called me last night, asked me what 5 Guns I would have if I could only have 5. A lot of it comes to caliber, I can’t figure out what to give up for a .22 but my choice is final. As market forces have dictated, I consider a .223 the 21st century .22. Most of these I own. This has...

if you have seen this or it has been posted before please forgive. I hate recalls but prefer to deal with them head on. https://www.sigsauer.com/support/safety-center/rifle-safety-warning/

I bought the Turret Press Kit about 6 months ago after years of combining single stage presses. I used it once or twice and was very impressed. It took some of the fun out of hand loading but it's faster and easier on my hands. After returning to reloading after six months of adult life I'm...

I was given some 147 grain 9mm hornadys. I am wanting to launch them fast, for possible hog and other live situations. It's not my first pick for hogs, but I carry the Glock 17 a lot. I like shooting it on a whim. I don't want to waste expensive carry loads. I have loaded off and on for years...

I searched for it, couldn't find it. If somebody could inbox or post the discount code that would be great. Thanks.

How do you folks clean and or maintain dies? Thanks

With most of my reloading I've been quick to pick a product and slow to try something new. I'm loading for a gen 4 g-17, I prefer 115 or 124 grain. It has the stock barrel. I have a .40 p229 Sig. I prefer 180 grain bullets. I will use these as target loads. On hand I have tite group, 231 and...

Ive had some brand new Nosler brass for some time. I just opened it. I'm tempted to just load it up. Would you resize it?

I've loaded thousands and thousands of 9mm, .38s, and 40s using Unique, 231, and bullseye. I've had great success but I would like to increase my velocity. I have some expensive hollow points for the 9 and 40. I prefer my lead 158 grain semi wad cutter for my .38 special. I use the Lee auto...

I recently was working up a full power .357 load with H110. It was inspected range brass, 125 hornady xtp's. The bullets were seated to the crimping groove. I don't have it in front of my but I believe the lengths were 1.578. I crimped and seated in the same stage. I turned the die 1/4th of a...

Today I worked up some .357,s to a load 19.2 grains of Imr 4227, assorted range brass, 125 grain Hornady xtps, with Winchester standard primers. They all went off, I didn't see any un burned powder chunks, and they seemed extremely accurate. I saw no pressure signs. I then shot some federal...

I am loading some .308 assorted range brass I purcashed for my AR10. I noticed a strong roll crimp in the brass. The roll crimp still exist after trimming. If these are resized, loaded properly, and not crimped, think they will still function without giving me headaches? Not all have them...

I have a Gen 4 glock 17. After talking about it on here, and being frustrated as hell, I now shoot it great. It's dialed in and I want it forever. It has a fairly nasty scratch on the top of the slide from a range trip that involved too many people around a small concrete table. My gun...

Do you do anything different to to resize .357s than you do .38s while using a Lee .38 die?

I've had a G 17 about a year now. I've had lots of frustration with shooting it. I used to love shoot my friends glocks. I always wanted one. I acquired one through a trade. The trijicon night sights were installed by the dealer. They were off. Everybody kept telling me it was me, but upon...

I was testing some .357s today. They were 16.4 grains of IMR 4227, I believe 1.590 in length, once fired winchester brass, winchester standard small pistol primers. The bullets were Hornady 125 grain jacketed. The recipe came from a phone call about length. The chroneograph reported 3 speeds...
