    Conflicting data on 357 H110

    Quick question regarding conflicting data on H110 loadings, specifically with 357mag 125gr XTP. I have loaded up a few rounds based on the Hornady Manuals data: 125gr XTP, 18.5gr of H110. In the Hornady manual this is a middle of the road H110 load. However, upon review of other manuals, I am...

    Cleaning Matte Chrome DE

    I just picked up a .44 DE in Matte Chrome. It was sold as LNIB, however it looks like there is some discoloration on parts of the gun. This is my first gun with Chrome platting and was wondering if there is anything specific I should know about cleaning it? Anything to avoid, anything that works...

    Lee Auto Disk Issues

    So tonight I loaded up some 357 Mag on my turret press using the Lee Auto Disk Pro. I was using H110 and aiming for 18.9gr. I noticed that the auto disk was not as consistent as I would have hoped. When weighing every 10th charge or so, I was getting between 18.7 and 19.3. Now for plinking ammo...

    Mandatory Firearms Possession, Got to love Maine!!

    So saw this in a local paper today. Started as tongue in cheek, because every resident already owns guns, but looks like it has an actual chance of passing! http://www.sunjournal.com/news/river-valley/2013/03/08/byron-aims-mandatory-gun-possession/1330923

    Upgrading consolidating collection?

    So I have a decent collection of long guns. But recently I have been considering "upgrading" it. I.E, selling multiple cheaper guns to fund 1 nice one. The advantages of this are many, fewer calibers to reload, fewer to clean, higher quality collection, etc... The only downside is a smaller...

    Mossberg 500 Loose Forearm

    I just purchased a Mossberg 500 Mariner used and the forearm has quite a bit of rotational wiggle to it. Is this normal? This is my first 500, I have always had 870's.

    Has anyone ordered from Brownells in the last week or so? I am wondering what the current order delay is? Any insight would be appreciated. On a related note, I have to give credit to midway. I have made 3 orders with them for various parts for a build over the last 2 weeks and they all...

I think he is going to really like it, and I thought you all would appreciate it as well. One of 300 made,

    Ruger 77/44 Load Help

    So I have a Ruger 77/44 Stainless/Synthetic that is my wifes deer rifle. We just mounted a Nikon Prostaff 2-7x on it and I sighted in with Win. 240gr JSPs, and was able to hold 1-1.5inch @ 50 yards. Now I am trying to work up a handload and I can't get anything much better then 4 inches @ 50...

    Real world gun safety

    This post isn't meant to challenge the importance of "The Rules" when it comes to range work, hunting, etc.... However, in a real world situation, there isn't necessarily a safe muzzle direction, or non-threats may cross your line of fire. I was talking to a friend who is on a local PD's SRT...

    How much time do you spend working up a load

    I am about to start working up a load for my 7mm, and it got me thinking. How much time do I really need to spend, working up incremental loads, testing, so on and so forth. The way I look at it, before I started reloading, I would buy a box of factory, and 9 times out of 10 it would be...

    Digital Scale

    So I have only be reloading for a small amount of time, but I have already decided I am not a big fan of the Lee Safety Scale. I think I am going to make the move to digital. What do you all think of the Rangemaster 750. Any better choices in that price range?

    SP101 Used Pricing

    So I just picked up a used SP101, 357, 3.06in Barrel, in great condition with box. In my excitement and lack of knowledge of revolver pricing, I think I overpaid substantially, I was just curious what the average used pricing is on these. I also noticed they seem to be a little difficult to find...
