    Civil war bullet holder?

    I don't know where this tongue in cheek link belongs, if anywhere, but I thought I should share it. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/187888869155432/

    Ruined game camera

    My game camera was ruined a couple weeks ago and I just found out what broke the sensor cover, a downy woodpecker! My son's friend captured 3 pictures of a downy woodpecker point blank. It is the second one in my woods this season. My neighbor said a guy in his woods had the same thing on one...

    Looking for a CFE Pistol load for 124gr 9mm

    Looking for a CFE Pistol load for 124gr 9mm Precision Delta 124 grain jacketed hollow points. Conflicting data on Hodgdon's web pages. http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/pistol gives a range of 4.9 to 5.5 grains for a 124 grain. (Not sure what profile a 124 GR. BERB HBRN TP is)...

    Looking for a 2015 mule deer hunt?

    I am from Wisconsin and kind of looking into a 2015 mulie/white tail hunt for a small group of guys. A coworker of mine just got back from one and it sounded very interesting. And recommendations for a reasonable hunt? None of us would have any preference points.

    Chamber jam in Ruger SR-556

    Yesterday at the range using my Brothers SR-556, we had a jam after the 1st 20 round magazine was shot without a glitch. The range officer had to remove the round from the chamber with a brass rod and hammer. Pounded the bullet back into the brass, Odd thing is the round forcibly removed...

    .44 Case wrinkle

    I loaded some .44 magnum tonight with AA#9 and Nosler 300 grain bullets. My dummy load went well back when I seated it. I filled case with the powder and seated 1st bullet when I had a slight wrinkle. Flared a sliver more, filled the 2nd case and seated another. Slight wrinkle again...

    Loading .223 on a Lee Pro 1000

    Today I converted one of my Lee Pro 1000 presses over to .223 for a larger run from .38 special. I changed the shell plate from a #1 to a #4. Looks like I still have a large pistol shell feeder on it. I added a double disk kit to the powder thrower and it seems to work pretty good for a 24.7...

    Trouble with CBC 9mm brass depriming

    The last couple days I have been depriming my 9mm cases I have polished and stockpiled. I have never had issues with Magtech brass before, but have dozens of CBC cases were the primers either bulge or tear the top of the primer off. It is almost like the primers were glued into the pockets...

    Taurus TRIAD85B

    Has anyone come across one of these revolvers? I understand it will shoot .38 special, .357, and 9mm. I am wondering how a snub nose revolver will shoot accurately with a .355 projectile in a .357 sized barrel? Obviously I can size my 9mm lead to .358. Being a snub nose revolver, should I...

    Adjusting a Gracey trimmer?

    I borrowed a Gracey trimmer from a coworker the other day. It was setup with about zero chamfer. He said to feel free to make any adjustments and furnished me with a set of vague instructions he had printed up. Has anyone truly figured out how to adjust a Gracey case trimmer. Just when I...

    Any favorite .480 Ruger loads?

    I have a friend that picked up a Super Redhawk in .480 Ruger. He bought some 325 grain XTP's and is looking for a target/hunting load would be my assumption. He was hoping to use HS-7/Winchester 571 powder that he has a pound of. I was only able to find a load for a lighter bullet like 270...

    I need to get OCD

    I found 147 sized and primed .44 magnum brass that seems to be trimmed, sized, and belled. I would have trimmed it a bit smaller with my Lee trimmer, so I know I didn't do it. I can't believe I could have polished this brass and not noticed this many where primed. I sorted through two bins...

    Sig 1911 tight chambers?

    My buddy tried to shoot my .45acp reloads last night and on his 5th (and last) round, it failed to go into battery. I had to bump his slide with the palm of my hand to bring it to battery. I have seen this in the past if my 200 grain LSWC were not seated properly. I haven't seen one of...

    Removing bullet lube from finished rounds

    What do you guys use to clean something like BAC bullet lube from your finished rounds. I hammered out a bunch of 200 grain SWC .45acp this afternoon and am going to load 300 more tomorrow. I would hate to rub all 700 rounds with a golf towel like I have been. Thought about a rag with...

    LC9 Kydex holster for CW9?

    I have a Theis horsehide IWB holster for an LC9, problem is I sold the LC9 back to my buddy. I have my eye on a Kahr CW9 and was wondering if the dimensions are close enough to use the Theis IWB? Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    .45 Colt dies to do .454 Casull?

    I am looking to start loading .45 Colt and was wondering if a guy could use the same dies for a .454 Casull should the need arise. I know that a .38 special Lee die set can be used for .357 magnum, so which Lee die set might work for both if the need were to arise? As a side note, which...

    HS-7 powder question

    I picked up a pound of HS-7 powder today along with a lot of other stuff, and was wondering that exactly this powder might really be good in? I think the guy may have used it in .44 magnum, but I'm really not sure. The price was right for all of the stuff I got. ;)

    1913 Colt Police Positive .38 Special

    Picked this up the other day. I understand that it has some old matching holster that comes with it. Grips not original but obviously very old.

    Can you chamber 3" mag in a 2 3/4" only 870?

    Will a 3" magnum chamber and fire in a 2.75" Remington 870 Wingmaster? I see no markings on the 870 but fired a 3" by mistake today. Would not extract until I cut a half inch of plastic from the hull. Was this just a dumb mistake, or could it have been worse? :what: I was only going to...

    Loctite 242 for scope mounts?

    I am going to mount a Leupold 2X scope on my S&W 629 Classic, and want to secure things against the .44 magnum recoil. I also want it to come off cleanly some day. Is Blue Loctite 242 a good thread locker choice?
