My message was truncated (and I was given a warning by our Administrator about verbage :( ) regarding Universal's abysmal metering...that's why it looks like it's an unfinished thought. I do not like having any powder running a +/- .4 grains. That's a total spread of .8 grains. To me that's 100%...

Thanks for the insight, Peter. I'm really not happy with the Universal, but I think I'll look into 231 or something for everyday usage to keep from running just the high pressure Longshot rounds through my 1911s. I try to go out and shoot two hundred rounds a week, so that translates to about...

Thanks for the input, all. I picked up a pound of Universal Clays to try with the 45 Auto (100 rounds this loading), and I will finish it off on about 15,000,000 rounds of 32 ACP for me little Seecamp critter. :banghead: Guess I'll be using the teaspoon & scale method for said 32 ACP. So, I...

Hodgdon does list it extensively in the recipe portion of their manual. It is also listed by Hornady in their manual. My curiosity was piqued because it was not listed in the Pistol Table of powders just prior to the recipe section. However the website says it is good in 357 sig and 40SW. If...

Why would you not use Longshot in 45? Too slow burning?

Outside I always use both eyes open. Inside ranges can be tough for me to focus, and if I'm tired I will have to use the one eye shut method. It seems to me that some of the other patrons of the local indoor range use the both eyes shut method, but I cannot highly recommend that. The only time I...

I have been loading up 9mm, 40 S&W and 45 Auto with Longshot for over a year now. It is very consistent, develops lots of velocity and seems to keep pressures normal. However, I am reading that Universal Clays is supposed to burn a tad bit cleaner. Since I am shooting 45 Auto mostly at the...

More food for thought, you might also look into Hodgdon's new Copper Fouling Eraser 223 powder. Sounds very promising, and I'll be picking up some as soon as I see it. I try to buy both powder and primers in bulk, and I do so through Midwayusa.com I'm sure there are better prices to be...

Crud. Why did they have to release it in high capacity??? That does nada thing for us stuck in Occupied Republic of California :cuss: I'll stick with my CA legal Kimber-framed-Ed Brown-Frankensteinian monster. :cool:

FWIW, here's what it costs me to load lots of 100 rounds with good namebrand copper jacketed bullets and Federal primers. 9mm: $19.16 .40S&W: $25.71 10mm Auto: $27.17 45 Auto: $26.54 Obviously, plated bullets are more cost effective, but I like keeping around 800-1,000 rounds of each...

I would have to recommend the Hi-Power. I have have shot the 9mm (my dad's) for over 25 years, and have shot my own .40 cal version (which is nearly identical) for 17 years. Everything good about Hi-Powers that you may have heard is true. My family and I have never had any parts break or...

:o Yipes! Caught in the act......... I'm actually looking for a 221 Fireball just so I can reload it

My $0.02 on the Extended Slide Release: Don't do it unless the factory one really irks you. The only one of mine that "needed" it was the G21. All others work just fine. Aside from that and the light connectors in most of them, my favorite add-on to my Glocks is my hand!

+1 on that! Gaston Glock's boys know a thing or two about a thing or two. My G27 only has night sights added to it, and it's my "there with me every day" piece. By Ti pins, I take it you mean the takedown pins, not the striker. Right? If you're going to use it as a carry piece for primary...

I have a new one to add to the list! Feather .22LR kit rifle. Worst. Purchase. Ever. Breaks down and fits into a laptop case, looks really cool, seems to make the bullet exit the bore once the primer is struck.... BUT Came with two magazines, neither one of them will feed more than one...

+1 on the High Power. Very accurate, reliable, and good looking. :D I have a Mark III with pachmyr grips. I do not own a more comfortable handgun. I shoot lots of different things, but when I pick up the High Power, I'm home.

:o whoopth. Joined up yesterday and didn't introduce meself.... I am 32 years old. Born & raised in the liberal, gun-hatin' Bay Area on the Left coast of California. My family moved here in the early 1940s when everything was orchards around us. We hunt duck, dove, pig, deer, antelope and...

I too tried the NY trigger, and ended up giving it a horrid review on Glockmeister. Not only did it rub the slide, it made the trigger pull heavier and clunky... :banghead: You should try the light connector (formerly known as the 3.5# connector). It is designated by a "-" marking on it. It...

Hands down, Gen3 G21 :cool: It remains the softest recoiling .45 I have shot to date due to it's long heavy slide, and therefore is super easy to double or triple tap. I own a beautiful Performance Center 1911, but the G21 is my zombie gun for pure reliability, capacity and a good rating on...

Though it is unorthadox, I have used JB Bore paste to clean mild rust spots from the ejector port on my Browning High Power's barrel. Worked like a champ! I also use M-Pro7 gun cleaning spray to clean my pieces, including a mirror finished stainless 1911. It's non-toxic, but you'd never know...
