Simple question. Can I use the same bullets in .45acp and .45colt? Hmmmm.... maybe dumb question. I didn't look at my reloading books for bullet weights.... Oh well, I'll leave the question up and look for your responses.

I started a thread recently on brass vs nickel casings. During that thread, it was mentioned that nickel is especially good for .45LC. Checking my stocks today, I happily found that I have a bag or two of nickel in that caliber. So, I'm instantly interested in loading up some rounds for...

Inventorying my stock of bullets today, I find that I have several hundred lead non-jacketed bullets in 9mm. I've been told that semi-autos don't like lead bullets, especially Glocks. Do you load 9 in lead? What guns are they good for? Conversely, what guns are they not good for. I have...

I believe it is pertinent to this thread..... How do you embed photos like the ones above rather than with thumbnails? Getting ready to post some pics of my gun/reloading room. Just a bit more organizing.

Wow, great info. It sounds like nickel is what I need to use with my .45 LC Vaqueros. Brass ammo turns green very quickly when hung in the loops of my fast draw holsters. (I am not a fast draw or cowboy shooter, just like cowboy guns). Has anyone ever seen or know of a source for .45LC...

The title asks the question. Why do you prefer one or the other? Advantages or disadvantages? Does it matter what caliber?

WestKentucky, I found this exact device when I googled "ww2 booby trap". It is listed as an M5 Booby Trap. The cartridge shown with the device is slightly different than mine, but I found a very similar cartridge further down in the listing without the trigger. It was also shown as a...

:) Westkentucky, I have no desire to loose any part of my anatomy, particularly accidentally. Did that 2 years ago when my left thumb encountered an angry table saw. It ain't fun. At least, two years ago, a miracle working surgeon put my thumb back on... with explosives I'm afraid I might...

Any more specific info on this particular device? I'll google the terminology you used and see if I come up with any thing.

Again, moderators if this is inappropriate for this forum, please move it. Can anyone identify this device? It came to me in a lot of guns, ammunition, and accessories that I bought in an estate sale several years ago. There was a great deal of military paraphernalia in the lot. It was a...

Not sure if this fits in this forum. If not, moderator please move appropriately. Has anyone here ever seen .22 tracer ammunition? I had not even heard of it until now. Just recently I obtained this box. It is regular .22 Long Rifle. The dark tip in the pic is dark red. From what I...

So today, I am sorting and counting some 1960's .38 AMU brass and come across a loaded round. I kept looking and eventually found 11 loaded rounds among the casings. If these are truly original unfired .38 AMU cartridges, they could be somewhat valuable. I'm certain that the fellow who...

TimSr, I left a small quantity of primers in my strip loader and don't remember if I was loading pistol or rifle the last time I used it. In a case like this, I usually let my grandson hit them with a hammer on an anvil.... makes a great little pop with no apparent safety issue. (I also...

I have a 550b with strong mount. I permanently mounted the press to a 2x10 board and use c-clamps to mount the board to my loading table. works great. I like to change things around occasionally and just didn't want to drill holes in my nice oak table. My arrangement has been very...

Hmmmm..... food for thought. The cans are shiny on the inside and no peculiar odor. it looks and smells just like new powder. I have plenty of good powder anyhow, I just might dispose of it just to be safe. Thanks for the suggestions.

LOL... I'm pretty sure I have most of it. In researching this stuff, I haven't found any for sale since about 2010 on the net. Seriously I don't intend to shoot it up in my revolver. I have plenty of .38 special for that, just looking for discussions about the AMU brass. I don't know...

I have in excess of 3000 rounds in brass, and over a 1000 rounds in aluminum, I think, at least it is silver colored. I also picked up over 2000 rounds of .222 which is also quite rare I think.

rcmodel, I intend to do just that. I am in the process of subscribing as a paid member of this board so I can use the buy/sell forum, and also looking for other venues. I have a sufficient quantity of the brass to sell quite a bit of it and also use some for myself. The brass I have is...

I have acquired a quantity of relatively old powder. While the powder, by all appearances, is in usable condition, the storage containers are very dilapidated, rusted, and in general poor condition. Any suggestions on what type of containers would be safe and worthy of restoring this old...

Just a simple question.... Is there a way to tell the difference in small pistol and small rifle primers once they are on the loose.
