Want to load up some Hard cast loads, for both 10mm and 45acp. something in the line of a semi-wadcutter. Been searching all my catalogs and can't really find much. Thanks for any info.

I went into a local gun shop just to look around.:uhoh: Off in a far back corner of the display case i saw it. I know i just bought a G29 now she has a little sister. A Para Ordnance Warthog WHX1045R 45acp came home with me:eek: Have other 1911's but this is my first sub Compact 1911:)

My wife was just reading about them in the new issue of G&A. She thinks she may want one. I know a 22LR handgun is not high on the list for CC. Like they say it is better then a pointed stick. Has anyone had a chance to fire one yet? Pros and cons. Deep down i too think it could be a good old...

I have decided that i do want a 10mm Glock. Now i can't make up my mind on which one. Having large fat hands. I can not find any shop locally that has both of them to compare. In fact all i have found has been the G20. Any help will be appreciated. It will be a cc weapon.

I have a T/C Encore. So far i have been playing with anything based from the 30.06. I have 35Whelen , 30.06 , 338.06, now i am thinking about going with a 25.06. I like things derived from the 06 cartridge. What are the pro's and con's Re: the 25.06? We don't have very many pasture poodles...

I found a load my Thompson Encore really likes. 46.1 gr of RE15 under Speer Hot-Cor 250gr HCSP. The only problem is last night i loaded up 50 of them. Using my powder thrower. I dumped five loads weighed them on my electronic scale to double check them. All came out at 46.0 Then i would...

I have been reloading for a few months now. Also reloaded for many years way back in the 60;s and 70's. Never ran across this before. I picked up a large amount of RP 30-06 brass. Trimmed it to length, tumbled, primed it. loaded up 50 of them. (Lee single stage press and Lee pace setter dies...

I have been reloading for my other rifles now i want to proceed into the semi auto rifles. I have an Armarlite AR10A4 with 20 inch barrel. What would be a good starting load for the 308. I will be using Varget and 168gr BTHP bullets. Unless you can recommended something different for powder and...

I have read that you can use 38/357 bullets in the 35Whelen for fun shooting. Not to sure how accurate they will be. I have a 100 or so under my bench so i thought i would try. Will be using RE15 with 158gr JSP. What load should i start out with. I am thinking 48.0grs of RE15 Any help please...

I have a good friend that i thought i could trust. He was going camping in Big bear country. So i let him borrow my Mint condition Marlin 1895 45.70. He returned it last night. It is one large chunk of rust now, It will not even cycle with the lever. I want to shoot him. Have been almost 12...

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. Does anyone know if they will be having any gun shows in the Fairbanks area this fall? Most years they have one in early Oct at the U.A.F. campus (Patty Center) I have the itch to spend money on another gun and reloading supplies.:)

This past weekend i found a box of 19 Lapua 30.06 Brass new unfired at a yard sale. $2.00 My dilemma is to either use them as 30.06, which is my plinking range rifle,( no scope on it) not used for hunting. My primary hunting rifle is my 35Whelen with scope. Would necking up the Lapua brass...

I am in the middle of resizing some ammo with the FL DIE. Just ran out of case lube. Should i wait until i get more or can i use my can of Rem-Drilube w/ teflon?

I have worked up loads for all of my Bolt action and Semi Auto rifles with good success. When it comes to my Encore. I can get good groups with my 223 bbl, 45/70, and 375H&H. The 30.06 is so so but i can not get my 35Whelen to hit the barn wall from inside the barn. I thought it may have been...

I just found a box of 200, 45cal. Volunteer 451 Diameter, 450 grain bullets. BHN 5-6 They was in a box of ammo i picked up at a lawn sale. They have a blue colored wax type of lube in the ridges. I am thinking they may have been for a BP muzzle loader. Any idea what they can be used for? I do...

Does anyone know what type of powder may be in American Eagle 158gr. JHP bullets? Reason i am asking is i use 10grs of Bullseye to fireform 35Whelen brass. I just ran out of Bullseye and i have Five unopened boxes of 357 Mags that i no longer own. Was wondering if i could pull the bullets, use...

I just bought a 45 Colt Ruger Redhawk 4" Alaskan revolver. My question is. My wife wants to shoot it at the range, but she does not like the recoil on the hot loads. How far below the min. could i go to start working up a load for her? The load data for Hodgdon universal 230gr cast loads...

With once fired brass. Do any of you have a preference in manufactures. Federal, Remington, Winchester.

First let me say that i have started using Varget for my 308, 30.06 and was thinking it would be nice to also use the same powder for my 35whelen. I am thinking of starting out with 48.0 grs and working up to max of 50.0 grs. with 200 grain Remington Core-lokt soft points. Does this sound...

I have been reading about fire forming 35 whelen from 30.06 brass. They keep saying something about loading a light charge and cap it with cream of wheat??, then fire it in your 35whelen, with no bullet, to re-neck the case up to 35 cal. What amount of powder would i use. Do you need to use a...
