    Rant on 380

    Do all 380 weapons toss the brass wildly? I have 2 Bersa Thunder 380s and a Makarov, so I realize that it's a small sample size, but from these weapons it is a royal pain to recover much more than 50-60 percent... Time to build a brass catcher of some kind I think...

    New M44

    A few pics of my new M44. 1954 Romanian manufacture, wood is pretty lousy, metal pretty good. Barrel is about average, it would appear previous owner didn't understand corrosive ammo. Took it to the range this morning and it shoots well. Burned up the last of the surplus ammo I had and just...

    Looking for a machinist

    I have a Lee Classic Turret(4 Hole). Lee lock rings for the dies(with the rubber O-ring) don't do a very good job of locking the dies in place. Hornady lock rings work great for the 3-Hole, but there is not enough clearance between dies to use on the 4-Hole. What I am looking for is someone...

    Powder for 7.62x54r

    Looking for the right powder for my Mosin, pretty partial to AA powders, can you gentleman suggest anything? Also, how much shoulder destruction can I remove from this cartridge and still be reasonably accurate? This thing is murder... Waiting on a limb saver pad...

    Looking for a new barrel for a mosin 91-30. I have not found anything "off the shelf", can someone point me in the direction of an outfit that would do custom work in 7.62/54?

    Powder for 380/9mm

    So being relatively new to the hobby, I am having some success so far. I have loaded 9mm and 380 with AA #5, and have been fairly pleased with the results. I know that many loads listed in the books are not optimal, more for people who want to use one powder for many calibers. What would the...
