I had a cz83 but ended up selling it due to jams - rtf, stovepipes. Happened with all 4 mags - 2 factory and 2 aftermarket. Loved the pistol but hated it's lack of reliability. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

Ruger LC9S. Accurate, reliable, light, flat and carries easily own or own. It's my favorite pistol. Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

I use AutoComp in my 9mm Luger, 380ACP and 44Mag. It's a great powder that meters well.

Rube Goldberg would be proud. Nice job!

UPDATE: Using a bronze bristle brush I cleaned the heck out of the bore - rusty brown color is what sprayed out with each extraction/repeat. Cleaning and then drying with dry patches followed. The bore looked better but still had lost of raised rust spots spread liberally through the bore. Next...

Everyone, thanks for the tips. I'll leave the breech plug and drum alone and try to tackle it all through the muzzle. Before I try lapping I'll see what a brush and rust solvent will do. I also found some good tips at the link below. The electrolysis method sounds interesting. Externally, the...

Today I acquired a used Traditions DeerHunter R 50cal Percussion rifle. Twenty years ago the owner fired it a few times and put it away without cleaning the bore. As a result, there is significant rust spotting throughout the bore. I was going to unscrew the breech plug and clean the bore with a...

Really? I also reload and, for the last two years, component prices jumped to dizzying prices IF you could even find them at all. Component price fluctuations lag finished ammo but price behavior is similar.

Search StealthGear on YouTube - lots of reviews, none negative.

I was initially very interested in getting an R51 as a carry gun but was waiting on availability to bring down inflated prices. While I was waiting, the bad press came out and then I was glad that I didn't purchase one. Since then I have purchased a Ruger lc9s. I could not be more pleased than I...

I went through this in the past with my own Powder Coated cast bullets. The difference was that the lead would be swagged down. Pushing the .357 bullets into the case would basically size down the bullet, which defeated the point of sizing them to .357. The Powder Coat is extremely hard and was...

Today, I did a test using Lucky13 Green Zombie 9mm Coated Lead Bullets sized .357. I was using my Beretta 92A1 which has a large .3575 slugged bore that is prone to keyholes with undersized lead bullets. I reload lead bullets with a Lee Classic Turret press w/o FCD. The first position is a...

During its short one-year life, the 5-lb Harbor Freight Vibratory Tumbler did a good job of noisily cleaning cartridge brass. A little over a year ago, I bought it on sale for about $45. After 6 months the threads on the vertical shaft that secures the lid stripped. I replaced the threaded shaft...

I'm mostly reload 9mm, between 200-500 rounds per week, using a Lee Classic Turret. The only cases that give me a problem are TulAmmo. These are brass cases that come in cylindrical plastic boxes. The cases seem to be quicker than any other case. I can always tell when one of these cases in the...

Hard to beat the LC9S or LC9S-PRO.

Lyman M die GLOOB - Thanks for the tip about the Lyman M die as I was unaware of it. It has always concerned me that lead bullets were just too darn large for the normal sized 9mm cases and I end up with bulged case walls that, I suspect, are still getting swagged down when fully seated...

these three targets were shot in order after about an hour and a half of shooting. I shot them specifically as an experiment because of the inconsistency during the shooting. so, no I wasn't warming up on target 3 this was at the end of a long series of shooting. I shoot 3 times a week for...

Thanks for the feedback. I am enroute home from a trip. I'll work up different loads and test again in the next week or two.

I slugged it. I had a darn hard time as, lacking a pure lead ball near that size, i used a hard lead cast, unsized, bullet. Anyway, it mike'd at .3571. I may repeat the test with another pistol that mikes .355 I agree that the Baretta's bore needs .358 bullets. I should have suspected this...

Future tests Upon my return from my trip, I intend to do additional testing. Next time I'll try different bullets from a bench rest. Plus, I'll clean the bore between each type.
