[/URL][/IMG] I thought I had already post this but I cannot find it. The pic is of 2 spent 9mm Luger cases fired from a new 'Just Right Carbine' The separated case head happened once during very fast fire. The cases in the pic have been cleaned off. Spent cases are always very sooty...

I don't usually load my 9mm with 147gr FMJ/JHP but I got a some ZERO 147gr JHP and want to try them over Hodgdon Titegroup. Looking at the Lyman 49th Edition data manual it shows the OAL for 147gr FMJ to be 1.115". I don't think I can get even the shorter 147gr JHP bullet that deep to...

When reloading 9mm pistol rounds how consistent or inconsistent can I expect the OAL to be from round to round? I sort my brass by headstamp hoping that will offer more consistency. I dug up a box of factory loads, Remington green & white box 9mm Luger that I bought from Walmart in 2006. Its...

I have a Springfield XDM 5.25 in 9mm that developed a hairline crack on the breech face...twice. Looking at the breech face the crack is around the 5 o'clock position[/URL][/IMG] The edge where the crack originates from looks beveled but it is not beveled. -Has anyone else out there seen or...

I have a Springfield XDM 5.25 in 9mm. If the pic shows up you can see the crack beginning at the corner of the 4 o'clock position. Yes, I do handload but I load less than max loads and certainly not +P pressures. This is the 2nd time this has happened. 1st time occurred the same way except it...

What to do about far conflicting Load Data? Lets talk about 9mm Luger bcuz that is what I am loading right now and they have small-low volume case. I am useing... The latest Lyman 49th Edition manual: 9mm Luger cartridge, 115gr. JHP bullet, Alliant Unique powder, Lyman shows a minimum...

I have a Marlin 900 series bolt action (982VS) stainless steel heavy barrel in .22WMR. Suddenly the bolt is hard to move for and aft. Seems to be draging on the reciever. The drag is worse when pulling the bolt open. I bought this rifle new and the action ran smooth for at least 3000 rounds...

Below is a pic of what I think is called the front strap of a S&W model 686 no dash. I bought it from the original owner 'Pete' who bought it from a gun shop in Minnasota about 30 years ago. When he bought the Smith he also bought a basic-cheap handgun cleaning kit, 2 boxes of Federal .357...

I want to load some minimum charge .38 Special loads with non-jacketed, non-plated lead bullets. Bullets I have are sourced from MAGNUS Bullet Company, USA and are... 158 Grain RN-BB or Round Nose-Bevel Bottom with .357" diameter. and... 148 Grain DEWC or Double Edge Wad Cutter with...

As mentioned in my previous post a few days ago I bought a stainless steel S&W Model 686 6 incher and an H&R Model 905 which is a Double Action, .22LR 9-shooter revolver also in stainless steel. (Both for $600 and I probably paid tooo much) I took it out yesterday and the darn thing functioned...

Few days ago I bought an H & R Model 905. This is a .22LR 9-shot stainless steel revolver with a 4" bull barrel that measures .725" dia. It has adj. rear sight and looks to be a Bullseye gun...its heavy. I also got a lightly used stainless S&W 686 with 6 inch barrel. Both wheelers for...

A buddy from work is moving to California and doesn't want to take any guns. At work he talked like he had some real nice guns so I brought enough cash to buy. When I got to his house and seen what he had I knew I would not need even half the cash that I brought with. Included in this package...

Last June as part of a trade deal I got a brand new in box Taurus PT1911. It's their basic no acc. rail, no frills blue model. Its works perdy good and I am pleased with it's function. Below is a pic of the above mentioned Tauri breech face. (Click on the pic for a larger version) Not a...

Somewhere on THR is how to check vertical engagement on 1911 barrel lugs. Can someone pass that on to me? Thanks Much

The gun is a new unmodified TAURUS PT1911 Gov length. When I fire it I feel something spattering my face. Not a lot, not painful but everyone who fires it feels it. The barrel and barrel link look chinsey, really cheap looking. The link almost looks like it was stamped from sheet metal and...

I want a new 1911A1 .45 Auto, specificaly an Ed Brown Special Forces 1911A1. However, I simply cannot afford one of those so back to reality... I can afford up to $650 for a 1911A1. Does anyone know anything about a Llama or Firestorm 1911? I myself have never read nor heard anything positive...

The gun is a Norinco 1911A1 .45 auto. When my Nork strips a round off the mag it will chamber the round but it will also cause some bullet set back.The more full the mag is the more set back occurs, as much as .040". This will happen with my handloads or factory ammo, ball or HP. To trouble...

If you use a Lyman 1200 powder digital dispenser how do you like it? Do you use it for pistol ammo or just rifle rounds? I have a very nice Yugo SKS that I rarely if ever shoot. My brother want to trade the Lyman for the SKS. If I rarely use the Lyman then I would rather have a rifle I...

I have been activly (at least twice a month) shooting for the past 7 years, have accumulated a dozen or so guns and load all my own ctrfire ammo. Most of my guns are on the lower wrung of rep and quality. I do have a decent RRA NM AR15 and a CZ75 SPO1 in 9mm. I have a Taurus D/A revolver, a...

It was 7 years ago when I started shooting activly, like once, twice, usually 3 times a month. Since then I've bought a half dozen lower end handguns and they've been good to me. My personal flagship and first (hand) gun is a made in China Norinco 1911A1 clone with an interesting history...
