Lyman #5 is a very good manual, as is "Advantages" from Ballistic Products. Both have data as well as "hows and whys" of reloading.

This may not help you, but it works for me. Shooting factory ammo or reloads using Ideal mold 429241 for an extended time with my older Charter Bulldog will split my knuckle open. I got two boxes of .44 Colt ammo and use that brass and HP-38 or Trailboss powder and a 200gr Mav Dutchman bullet...

BMT is the best. And they are local to me. Great folks. Dave

M1A all day, everyday for a semi auto .308. Dave

I like the surplus rifles. Modern rifles without iron sights hold no appeal to me. I don't use a scope, so a rifle without irons is useless to me. My favorite right now is a 1922 Carl Gustav. But that may change when I get a 1917 Eddystone. Dave

642 no lock.

I have one, and it must have been a Wednesday pistol. Nary a hiccup. In fact, I used it as a 'loaner' during the last NRA Women on Target event before I left New Mexico. If you are having problems with some ammo, they come with two springs; one for high velocity and the other for lower...

When I was running the trap and skeet range here on the base, a buddy of mine had one and we shot a round of skeet with it. Really fun and aggravating at the same time. I'm in the same 'want, don't want' boat. It ebbs and flows like the tide. Right now, I am still holding fast in the 'don't...

I bought my calipers from Home Depot. The micrometer I got from Sears. Dave

That was excellent. Dave

I bought a Bobcat for $100 as well. Here's a tip - I put two lead ingots wrapped in a sock in the butt of the rifle. It helps with balance and recoil. It is a very accurate muzzleloader. Dave

Could the Smartcarry or Thunder Wear products meet your needs? Dave

Great score! Some .22lr auto pistols are finicky about ammo. Mine seem to prefer the Remington Golden Bullet. But still to find any .22lr around here of any marque would be amazing. .22lr may just as well be unicorns... Dave

I love my Sig Scorpion! But that puts you a bit over the 1K mark. Unless you are military. I got mine at the BX for $924. For value, I would go with the Tac Pac. There is a lot of stuff in that package. The BX didn't have that one so I got the Scorpion. I would not be comfortable with getting a...

I carry a 10mm. Either the Glock or the Smith & Wesson. I am not as worried about over-penetration as I am with missed shots. I try to practice with them as much as I can. I shoot the monthly IPSC match with the Glock. I may use the S&W for the match this month. Every time I have mentioned...

10mm in a S&W 1076 or Glock 29 depending on what the weather is like. If I could find the right holster, I would like to carry my Model 58. Dave

I'm in! S&W style. This brute followed me home last weekend. The N serial number puts it around 1973 or so. The grips aren't correct, but what I paid for it, I can get the correct service grips and then some. I ordered some of the police loads for it which should be here in a few days. To...

My wife will shoot if the weather is nice. She was not really into it, though. Then something happened; we went to a .22 action match. Now she is hooked. She bought two .22 pistols so far to shoot at the matches. I still have to clean the guns, no way no how she will go for that. Dave

For me, the oddest would have to be a Kropatschek 8X60R. Dad took my brother and I out and let my brother shoot it off a bench. He was really young at the time. He touched off a round, took off his muffs and said "I don't want to shoot anymore." Dave

Why? Because one is none and two is one. Dave
