    One of them days

    So last night I popped out some primers. 10mm. Boom easy peasy. Dropped them in the tumbler. Ran it awhile. Get up this morning. Run a huge batch of 9mm in the wet tumbler. Separate the pins and set cases out to dry. Then I pop them in the tumbler (I know I just like em shiny). Realized...

    Want to give it a shot. Pun intended

    So I'm here is the redneck riviera. Panama City. I'm wondering if any of our members shoot competitively. Years ago I did shoot a little steel and bullseye but nothing in the last 10 years at least. I'm not a member of any organization or club aside from NRA. I wouldn't even know where to start...

    Re-primed primer?

    So the other day I was curious. I'm always curious and willing to learn a new thing. So a quick Google search revealed several results. Primers reloaded using snap cap compound. You know, them little red rings of popping doodads we played with as kids. Do any of you have experience with this...

    Turning heads

    I don't recall where I got the data. I'm certain someone here. Awesome load. 10MM 8.3 gn Blue Dot under a 155 gn FP extreem seated 1.250. It is a boomer at an indoor range. I don't think I'll stick with it or at the very least I'll keep 50 or so on hand just for that boom factor. Muzzle flash...

    Just my 2 cents on a couple handguns

    As a rule I don't tout, brag, recommend (unless asked) or favor one type, caliber or action over any other. It can be as polarized as politics. If I could though I would like to take a moment and drop my 2 cents worth regarding my 2 most recent handgun purchases. Firstly, I've owned a plethora...

    10mm data

    I'm typically not this guy. My Lymann 49th isn't currently available. Gonna load some 10mm and I don't have any historical data for this round as the XDM 10 is a new acquisition. I found a recipe online and I currently only have #5 and Blue Dot on hand. I figured I would give the Blue Dot a try...

    Plus P Plus? +P+?

    I've been reloading getting on 2 decades. I can figure most things out. I really can't wrap my stupid brain around +P+ brass. Maybe +P Correct me if I'm wrong but there isn't a +P rated pistol out there. They are 9mm or 9x19 and that's that. The case has to be dimensionally correct to...

    Looking for load data

    Obviously I'm kidding. Just wondering if anyone might know what exactly fired it. Stamped 1913. Best I've come up with is anti-aircraft artillery. However, aircraft of the era didn't need flak to be shot down. The Patton Museum didn't know much (other than they wanted me to donate it), I'm...

    Color fill

    Maybe this has been discussed or maybe not. Maybe not worth discussing but what the heck, we are all at home bored so.... To color fill the lettering, inscriptions and logos on your pistol or not. Not really a discussion on how-to just a yay or nay topic. Personally I like it on some handguns...

    175gr LSWC 40S&W load help

    Awhile back I casted some 175gr (Lee mould) LSWC at 401 diameter. I picked up a pound of AA#5 today to load some up. Doing a ladder starting at 6.1 up to 6.6, this data comes from the Lyman 49th. Upon reading in this forum and many others there are claims that most Kabooms utilized AA#5...

    Need help identifying model number

    Hello ladies and gentlemen, I recently (yesterday) picked up an H&R top break chambered in 38 S&W (black powder I believe). I can't fully identify the model number or find the few parts I need to complete it. I think it only needs a rear trigger guard pin and main spring. I only paid...

    NORINCO SKS information

    Hello ladies and gentlemen. I recently acquired a Norinco SKS. I am trying to determine an estimate on date of manufacture and which bayonet I need to buy as the rifle didn't have one. Any information is appreciated. Another question. Is the brass deflector a stock accessory or aftermarket...

    Case prep centers opinions

    So I have been in the market for a long time for a case prep center. Particularly since I've started shooting my ARs more frequently. It is amazing how quickly you can run thru 250 rounds or more with a semi-auto. Case prep for my bolt guns is a non-issue as I only shoot 20 at most from any one...

    300 blackout load

    I know, i know. But has anyone used CFE 223 to load 300 blackout? Is it too fast for this round? Currently use 17gr imr4227 under a 125gr FBHP.

    40 S&W stamped 9mm

    Sorting some range brass and found a 9mm case with 40 S&W head stamp. Just found it interesting. Like finding a coin with an imperfection. Any thoughts? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Glock 37? Should I?

    I can get a police trade in Glock 37 Gen 3 for $299.00 plus 10$ transfer fee. I have two 1911s in .45 so do I need a .45 GAP? How is it to shoot, and reload? I am familiar with a Glock I have a 27 that I have fixed the trigger on and love shooting. So... just wanna know from someone who shoots...

    1911 Shooting high and left

    I know I have read somewhere that others have the same issue with their S&W 1911e shooting 6" high and 4" left. I have the same issue with mine. I bought it new 3 years ago and hardly shot it due to this aggrivation. I recently ordered a set of sights from Dawson precision and wondered if...
