Would powder coated bullet be OK for a Glock pistol with factory barrel? I really like RMR bullets and have quite a few straight lead bullets, that I use in my non-Glock 10 mm pistols. They also offer a powder coated version and I'm thinking about trying those.

Trijicon offers a range of their RMR sights in various MOAs. I recently bought a used RM5 with a 9.0 MOA. What does this mean to me? I'll be shooting at 25 yards or less the majority of the time. Longest would be 100 yards but this seldomly. Thanks,

A couple weeks ago I mentioned to my wife I was looking to buy either a Glock 17 or a 40(model). A few days later she asked me if I had decided, I said yes, on the 40. She said good, let's go get it. It'll be my Christmas present to you. So we did! She gave it to me early so I could shoot it...

How reliable are they? I know, it's a a Ruger...

I've been loading a lot of 10mm 180gn in various bullet types. I'm placing an order with MBC for some of their 200gn Steelers. Out of 6 manuals none list 200gn lead, 180 is the highest. Blue Dot is my preferred powder but I also have 800x, 231 and bullseye. Lyman 49th list these for 175g...

I just bought my 1st .38spl, I own several .357magnums. I always buy the MBC 357 Action bullet, a hard bullet for magnum loads. Would 3.3g of BE be good with this bullet in a 38? Or should I select a different bullet from MBC? Layman #49 says 3.4 g is max for a 158g SWC in .38spl. MBC has...

Yesterday while reloading 380acp on my Dillon 550 I not only broke the decapping pin but bent the assembly as well. I was able to continue reloading by stealing the assembly from a .357 die. Usually I'd buy a replacement from Midway but of course they are out of stock. Any recommendations...

I have several hundred Hornady 45 caliber 230 grain XTP/HP bullets and a whole bunch of bullseye powder. Hornady doesn't list Bulleye for the 230grn bullet. Looking at other bullet types in 230grn other manuals show as high as 6.0grns of Bullseye. Does anyone see a problem if I load with...

What were you thinking when you made small pistol primer pockets in 45auto brass? I bought 800 pieces of brass Saturday I just sorted it and probably 15% have small primer pocket. These would have screwed up my reloading with my Dillon press.

Are the Hornady Match as good as Sierra's Match King? Specifically the .308 168 grain BTHP.

I've got 7 manuals and loaddata.com and none of them list a 180 grain TCFP lead load using W-231. Closest I can find is a 175grn from 5.5 to 6.5 of W-231. If I load some at 6.0 should that be safe?

I have a guy offering me an AR-10A4 with stainless steel heavy barrel, 20" I believe. It has a 2 stage NM trigger. This is a Klinton era rifle. It comes with 1 10rnd mag and is in 7.62x51. It does not have a forward assist. This will be my 1st AR/EBR how important is the forward assist...

I have about .5 lb of 2400 left. I tried some loads with it last year. My problem is that no one local has 2400 in stock. They do have Unique though. I want to load some stout .357 and .44 magnum, mostly with Hornady XTP. So the ? is, wait on more 2400 or switch to Unique? I do have...

I started reloading last May. A month or 2 into it I started taking notes on my different loads. Today I decided to put those hand written notes into a spreadsheet. I learned that I hadn't taken any notes on my favorite caliber, .357 magnum. I hadn't taken very good notes in general. Sow...

I'm going to taking a long range rifle course, 600 plus yards. I'm going to use my PTR-91 in 7.62x51NATO. I need a good scope with a ranging reticule ~$300. I'm thinking a 3x9x40 or 4x12. My old eyes need all the help they can get. I also need 300 rounds of 175 grn match grade ammo. What...

I ordered 2k of 5.7x28 SS197 from a company last week. They shipped it UPS ground and I received it today. The box had a hole in the top corner, about a 2" circle. You could easily hear loose rounds rattling around inside. After taking several pics of the box I opened it. The boxes, FNH...

I was shooting my new 10mm carbine with some of my reloads. I was using 5.5 grains of w-231 under a 180 grn Sierra JHP with a Winchester LP. Sierra's manual says 5.8 as max. The case I used was an older case and had finger prints (rusted?) into the side. Stupid me used it anyways Stupid new...

Looking to do a group buy on powder in the Hagerstown, Eastern Panhandle, Winchester region. Powder Valley has some powder I want but the hazmat/shipping is a killer for the little bit I want. 4 - 8 lbs of 2400, maybe some blue dot.

I went to my local gun shop today after calling and verifying that they had W-231 & 296 in stock. I was planning on buying about 100 bucks worth of powder, 5 lbs. I wound up buying 3lb 296, 1lb 231, 2lbs Herco. Plus 500 Hornady 158 grain hp/xtp in 38cal. 1k each of SP, LP, SPM & LPM. Oh and 2...

Man, talk about FAST! I ordered 1k of .44 Keith style swc about 0300 this morning. By 0930 I had a shipped confirmation e-mail. Thanks Brad & Co. for that and the THR discount. MikeS.
