    38spl Wadcutters

    Wow, going through my closet, if found 38pl wadcutters back from the early 90s. Don't even remember buying them. Anyway, once I shoot them up, can I re-use the brass for fmj reloads? Didn't know if the brass was any different (longer, thinner, etc). Thanks!

    Tumbling .22lr for better feeding

    I have a Sig 229 with a .22 conversion kit. It feeds mini-mags beautifully. I got a couple of boxes of the Federal 525 value packs. Almost every clip of 10 has 1 or 2 misfeeds. They seem a little gummy and I am wondering if this is the cause of the problem. Wondering if I throw them in the...

    After tumbling brass, it looks so nice, great color and all. Just looked at some I tumbled about 4 months ago and it has changed color some and not quite as vibrant as it was. Is there anything you can do to prevent this? John Bradley Sanger, TX

    OK, if this is a dumb question... don't laugh too hard. What is the difference between the blued and nickel magazines? Is it purely cosmetic or are there other differences that mean more (durablity, longevity, etc)? Thanks John

    Cleaning Primer Pockets

    OK, i know I am a newbie so if this is a good question, great. Otherwise, I hope some find it amusing. If you want to tumble your cases and eventually use a progressive, things seem out of order. I know you do things in quantity, but let's take it as if it was a single case. You put the...

    I am getting a 22LR conversion kit for my Sig P229 so I can get more practice rounds in for less cost. A friend recommended that I use the Winchester lead free. The only concern is that I can just about get 9mm for the same price. His thoughts on the bulk ammo was it is messy and "you get...
