again, thanks.

Thanks. Yesterday I established that the pistol tolerates Winchester white box FMJ just fine. I'll have to add a few sample packs to my next MBC order. Maybe I'll order some Berry's too. And I have to get a shell plate, dies, ammunition boxes, large pistol primers, a lot of brass...

I picked up a Springfield Range Officer in 45 ACP yesterday. :) I ran 100 through it today to start break-in and begin accumulating brass. Before I start buying components, I have a question for those of you familiar with feeding a range officer. Does the range officer family have a short leade...

I've often read that POI will be lower with a faster bullet or heavier charge. I figured I'd post today's results as an example. -Each green triangle is the average height above or below POA for a 5 shot group. -The red squares are the averages for all 5 shot groups at a given powder load...

There's no weatherstripping yet, but I may have to find some thin, easily compressed stuff. I'll see if any dust sneaks in before I add weatherstrip. After taking the pictures, I added a pin through the frame into the side of the door that fixes that slight bow at the mid door hinge. The...

I put this together a couple of weeks ago. The reloading equipment is in the corner of my basement workshop, so the cabinet is intended to keep sawdust and kids out of my reloading stuff. With this setup, I don't have to pack everything away between loading sessions. Plenty of storage above and...

Radiotom said He signed two, vetoed 1 that day. We did get a simplified, streamlined permitting and registration process. NRA ILA article on the subject

Jrowland77, I'm working my way down this path right now. Yesterday I fired a test batch of Missouri Bullet Co 9mm lead SWC's through my CZ SP01. They're a little smoky, but I shoot at an outdoor range. There was no leading that I could see. Plated bullets fired after the lead test when...

thanks archangelcd, I figured I was overthinking the whole thing. So i loaded 100 and spent yesterday afternoon at the range trying them out. They all went bang and made holes in the paper. Bullet- 148g DEWC from Coyote Bullet works powder- 700x-ranged from 2.5g (38spl starting) to 3.5g (357...

I made the rounds of the shops yesterday and picked up a set of dies and some wadcutters. Now I'm adjusting the dies. I'm trying to use the crimp in the seating die instead of using the Lee FCD. The 3 cartridges shown shown were crimped with the seating die rotated 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 turn from...

If the seating die in the 4 die set is the same as the one in the 3 die set, I'll get the 4. I'll remember the M die option in case I'm unhappy with the results of the Lee expander. The Lee has worked fine for me with 3 varieties of Berry's plated 9mm, but un-plated lead will be a new...

again, lots of good points. Maj Dad- sticking to one case will help avoid mixing similar cases, but it will also eliminates another stack of plastic tubs of cases of various ages and stages of processing. That's the theory anyway. Zxcvbob, Lost Sheep- Have I got this right? If I go...

Lost Sheep, I should have been clearer above. I'm already reloading 9mm on a Lee Turret. My shopping list is the stuff I need or am considering to add 357/38 loading capability to the equipment I already have. Good points there. The Lee rings are working fine for me with my 9mm setup, but...

Thanks all. My shopping list is growing. Doesn't it always? Lee Turret disk Lee die set Hornady lock rings 0.135 Redding die spacers Lee 357 trimmer shell holder and pin Maybe the Redding profile crimp die if I'm not happy with the FCD Brass Bullets I think the crimp will take...

I picked up a 686 yesterday. :) . Guns Galore in Fenton, MI beat the big online shops prices, without the wait for shipping. I expect that most of what I load will be magnum cases with wadcutters and light powder loads, but I want the flexibility of running 38 spl cases too. So far I've...

I get better than 95%, but i'm a bit obsessive about it. I'm generally the only person on the range, grab the far right stall against the wall, and pick up after every 2nd or 3rd magazine. I mark my cases with different colored sharpies to differentiate lots. So identifying my brass is easy...

i joined http://www.washtenawsportsmansclub.org/ about a year ago when i got back into shooting. Nice outdoor range on the south side of Ypsilanti, MI (west of Detroit). I like the relative quiet and peace of the out-door range. If I time it right, I have the pistol/rimfire range to myself...

sight base swap Last year put on a new barrel, metal sight base, and some fiber optic sights. this RFC thread shows all the parts (part numbers) I had to replace. You can order all the parts from Browning. Whether or not you can swap the old sight blade to the new hardware, i can't say. I...

If you are looking to buy soon, the decision may be made for you by supply. There seems to be a shortage of steel CZ pistols right now. I read on another forum that the supply should loosen up again in a couple of months. When i made the rounds of the local stores I found plenty of the...
