Thanks Thank you all. I failed again to convince my brother to give up on the GAP. However, I was able to shoot successfully all the loads I made up for him in my S&W 625 JM without any difficulty. The GAP cases seated in the Moon clips that I have so that was a success. My loads of the...

Hello everyone. My brother is set on running a Glock GAP pistol and I have tried several loads for him in the past two years. Currently the load I have been giving him is listed here: Brass New Starline GAP Bullet Hornady 185gr XTP HP Powder W231 5.4gr Primer CCI SPP OAL: 1.060 Runs...

YUP except I use 5.4gr of W231

Bearhands, he got it right

9mm because its my everyday shooter 45 ACP because it is what I shoot the most of after 9mm .44 MAG is a super versatile round loaded light to heavy HMMMMM after that its a toss up between 45 Colt or .357

YUP a squib load could be as bad or possibly worse. As someone who has shot a hand loaded squib load, I am supper careful with checking powder. Yes, for that run of bullets use the impact bullet unloader and rest easy my friend. Its not worth the sleeplessness. BTW, the squib load in the S&W...

RC, I have read so many of your comments in the past and know your expertise. So no questions there. Just to clarify, my brother loaded up some 200gr LSWC in the G.A.P. case with Universal powder 5.0 or 5.2gr. The bullets were Missouri Bullet product that I have used before a 1911 and the...

Great topic. I've offen said to myself that the .44 mag is the most versitile cartridge that I have hand loaded for until I started doing a lot more carrying and hand loading for the .357. Now for me in my world of day hikes and city living the S&W 686+ with seven rounds in a 3 inch barrel has...

OK Folks just a quick question. Been loading and shooting the S&W 625 for a couple of years now with no complaints and lots of good times. Its kinda been my no picky eater of all of the .45 ACP ammo testing hand-loads that did not like my 1911's or my Glock 21. The S&W 625 JM just eats them...

My brother just picked up a new Glock 37 ugggg. He asked me to help him handload this new to me case. So I have been looking for a 200gr FMJ bullet. Usually I get my jacketed bullets from Precion Delta or Montana Gold. No luck either place now for the 200s. Any suggestions? In the mean...

Yes Don is of course right. However, i could not do the shooting I do if I did not handload. Be patient and buy supplies whenever prices normalize. Good luck and read as much as you can here.

Here in Lost Angeles NO PISTOL primers NO W231 to be had Very small supplies of ammo. We are still in the Dark Ages here.

629-1 Here is one of mine from the mid 80's

Thank you sir:

New photo Thanks. Went out today and got the girl dirty. We both liked it. Very accurate. In my hands hit steel plates out past couple hundred yards up to 50% of the time mostly 2 out of 6 hit the steel. Great shooter. This is a S&W 629-1 made in the mid 80's. Yes 8 3/8 barrel. From my...

Just picked up this beauty here in California. Not cheap but worth it. I am enjoying it bunches. You can notice that I am not a camera man but a Metal Tiger Shootist.

Just picked up a beauty in an 8 3/8 barrel .44 Mag. Smith and Wesson 629-1 Really nice with a serial number: N 9 3857 X What year?

For a moderate load 10 gr of unique is nice with the 240 gr lead SWC My fav light load is 7 gr of Trail Boss over the Keith 240 gr SWC super sweet shooting.

Fantastic Lt Dan. You will love it. Have loaded so many different calibers in the 550B and that is where it shines. For Huge volume loading of one caliber possibly there are better options but for 2 to 3 thousand rounds a month in 5 calibers the 550B rocks.

Just bought a bunch of stuff: LSWC 240gr Keith $46.50 From Missouri Bullet Starline brass 500 b $95.00 From Missouri Bullet CCI Primer 300 (1000) $27.99 Graf & Sons Unique powder 1lb $16.99 Graf & Sons (7000gr / 10gr = 700 rounds)...
