Never noticed this. Will have to give this some testing to see what happens.

Yes, but the case will probably not last as long. The +P case is a bit thicker but is still the same length. Is there a similar thread here from about 2 or 3 weeks ago? If so, that might help.

I like Unique for cast bullet loads and for the 38 Spec. with the 158 grain bullet my load would be 4.5 grains. However, I usually cast my own and go with a softer lead mix for these light loads. This is because the softer bullets will obturate properly and I can go for 1000s of rounds without...

I do not remember why Lyman used the CCI 550 for the load development with the 357 Mag but for most powders the Standard primer will do the job. Another thing to think about; the Lyman manuals do not list TiteGroup loads, but the Hodgdon manual does. And, the Hodgdon manual does list the...

I bought a 1 lb can of TiteGroup to try and then won a 4 lb can at a match. So far the only loading has been in revolver cartridges like the 38 Spec., 357 Mag and the 44 Mag. It does meter well and it does have a low Standard of Deviation number when the loads are tested over a chronograph. I...

Give them a call. I ordered 32 lbs of powder from them just before the first of the year. Powder was here in less than a week. We have done group orders with them several times over the years. I would call about mid day their time. I have noticed that early morning calls often go unanswered...

If you shoot through all three of them you will not be posting any results. At least I do not think so. Instead, try to shoot over them and they will give years of results. I know that the Shooting Chrony I had did not like the bullet going through it.

I like that one, mec. Another reason for the decline could be the constant criticism of the usual magazines.

Using WD-20 or other penatrating solvents will not kill the primer. This has been tested over and over and was reported on in the NRA's AMERICAN RIFLEMAN about 2 years ago. The solvent will weaken a primer but it will dry out and the primer is about as good as new. The solvents will destroy...

Infidel is right on with his comments. There was an article a few years ago in which the author tested several chronographs and found them to be within 10 fps of each other. Do not remember exactly how he tested them but his method sounded logical at the time.

I have a batch of hanging plates for handgun shooting only. There are loops of rod welded to the top and then they hang from the frame using "S" hooks and chain. In thousands of rounds per target we have broken one chain (bent a few links) and have had to have only one weld replaced. There are a...

This is a problem for some of us. We have been around for decades and have been reading the magazines for just as long. So, yes, we are re-reading the same material year after year. But, what about the new guy. How is he supposed to be exposed to the same info that we were. I tolerate the...

So, if it is for promotional reasons all they need is the zip code. If it is for promotional reasons then why not just ask the person to fill in a form that they could print mailing labels from? Does the store guarantee that the data base will not be stolen or hacked? Lately I have been...

I subscribe to several magazines and then pick up more at the book store. I think that part of the problem for the specialty magazines like RELOADER and AMERICAN HANDGUNNER among others is the lack of exposure on the shelf at the bookstore magazine racks. My understanding is that part of the...

The heavy trigger pull seems to torque the gun to the side or over which is why is seems to be the worst.

Even soft steel should not wear out in 6 years. A commecial range better be using hardened steel for the backstop plates and the traps. These would not crater if the angle is right. The bullet will slide and go into the trap. Even the hard steels will crater with magnum or better loads if the...

Bushmaster, What was the problem? And, is it something you read about or something you experienced yourself?

And, you can never have enough friend who believe in the first statement.

If they have lube grooves there is a good chance they were lubed with liquid Alox or a similar lube mix. If they have the little dimples all over them they are probably some swaged bullet with a liquid lube applied and then allowed to dry. Alox is usually a light brown to heavy yellow in...

These are a great addition to anyone's library of loading manuals. They produced a series of them which covered other calibers. The books are out-of-print and unlikely to ever be reprinted. They missed a couple of powders which caused some people to return the manuals which I thought was a minor...
