I recently purchased a Little Dandy powder measure. The hopper doesn't appear to be attached to the rest of the measure in any way and is quite loose. Is it supposed to just sit on the top. It looks like if I were to pick it up by the hopper I would end up with a lot of powder on the ground...

I'm about to close on a house. I was over there yesterday for the home inspection which went very well. While I was down in the basement with the inspector I was thinking about where I could setup my reloading bench. 80% of the basement is nicely finished and the other 20% is a utility room...

I noticed this morning when I opened my first pound of Hodgdon clays that some of the flakes of powder had little holes through the center, but most did not. Is this normal? I just want to make sure I didn't get a bad or contaminated batch. Thanks!

I found a couple of oddly marked .38 special brass while resizing tonight. One is marked T Z Z with an 88 below it. The other (which I think I've seen before) is marked W C C with a 99. Anyone know the makers of these brass, I'm guessing the numbers are the production years, but I dont know...

I have a Hornady lock & load powder measure that I cannot get consistent powder drops out of. Here's what I've tried. - Different powders, mostly I've been using W231 as I've heard that it meters well - Added the handgun micrometer measuring insert - Added a powder baffle - Working the...

I picked up some .45 ACP brass today from my shooting range that has been sitting out in the weather over the winter. It was all pretty wet, but looked to be in good shape and should clean up nicely. My question is, can I trust this brass? Has sitting out in the weather made it brittle?

I was curious if anyone knew if it was possible to get (for free or by purchasing) any of Jeff Cooper's or other gunwriters works online in electronic format (.pdf, e-book, ect...) I know Cooper's Commentaries are available online, but I'm curious about the actual books.

I noticed that my AR15 is leaving a tiny dent in the primer when chambering a round. It's a small dent, but it is scary all the same. Obviously the firing pin is hitting the primer slightly, but not enough to ignite the round. Anyone know possible causes or solutions to this problem? I'm...

Does anyone happen to know where I can get PermaSlik G for AR15 magazine refinishing either in person or to order online? I've searched and haven't been able to come up with anything. I guess a place called georgia precision used to carry it, but they are no longer in business?

Does anyone happen to know how I can tell if the barrel of my AR-15 upper is chrome lined or not? It's a DPMS upper I purchased used and the previous owner didn't know either. The barrel markings don't specify.

I had the opportunity to shoot a Magnum Research BFR in .45-70 over the weekend. I expected the recoil and muzzle blast to be on the level of rediculous, however, it was very manageable. Anyone else have similiar experience? Has anyone been able to shoot one of these and compared it to the...

I was in a Walden Books the other day, located in the Fairfield Commons Mall in Dayton, OH, and noticed that they don't have any gun magazines. Granted, it is a smallish store, but they did find room for Playboy and similar magazines. I would guess I could find a copy of High Times as well, but...

I've been reading up on the HK USP series, and I don't entirely understand all of the variants. What I'm mainly interested in is, whether or not any variant is capable of condition 1 (cocked and locked) carry? From my reading it looks like variant 9 may be able to do this? Any USP experts out...

I've been having trouble while drawing with my belt, pistol, pants all sliding up when drawing. I realize that my holster isn't all the way broken in, and that will help....I'm using a good stiff tight gunbelt as well. I don't have too much of a gut to speak of, I understand this will help, and...

The last thing I need to do before I apply for my CCW is get a picture taken to submit with my application. Where did you other Ohio concealed handgun license holders get your picture taken? What size/style do I need? If I go to a local photo place, or perhaps the BMV and tell them that I...

I handled a glock 20 for the first time yesterday and found the grip to be quite bulky and overly large to the point that it was not at all comfortable for me. I have rather large hands (6'4"), with long fingers. I realize that these guns are quite popular, but does anyone actually like the...

Unfortunately I suffer from astigmatism and require eyeglasses to see properly, and contacts don't agree with me (constantly drying out my eyes). Normally my eyeglasses suffice for shooting glasses, however, I'm going to be taking my CCW class soon and I'm afraid my eyeglasses may not be...

I looked at a Taurus model 445 titanium today in a local shop. I had decided to give it a look, since I've never really looked one over. I haven't too many positive things about them. Upon inspection I noticed that there was nothing holding the cylinder in place at the front of the...

My dad just picked up a p22 and I'd like to get him a holster for it for father's day so he can carry it in the field while he's working with his dog. Does anyone know who makes a decent one, it looks like fobus makes one, but I rather it be not made of Kydex.

I was shooting some .38 special reloads today, and found that a one of my brass split along the side. I only noticed because it was a slightly more difficult to extract. I didn't notice any more recoil or a louder pop that might have indicated an overcharge. The load was 4.1 grains of...
