    Decker/Buchanon hand press opinions

    Jeff: the Decker tool doesn't have near the mechanical advantage that mine does. I spent 2 hours analyzing the geometry of the Huntington Compac, Decker and Lee. IE: I drew them up on my CAD Program so I could see exactly what they were doing. The Lee was the highest and I increased that by...

    Decker/Buchanon hand press opinions

    Doug: Thanks for the heads up on this thread. Information on my tool is available at www.buchananprecisionmachine.com . As of last Friday (2/24/23) I have sold over 375 of these tools and they have been shipped all over the world. Have never gotten one back and have never gotten bad word on...

    Question About .44 Special Ammo.

    That's why you reload! Here's a good thing to use to reload with. Best there is and it takes up very little space. About the same as a Revolver. Randy

    Question About .44 Special Ammo.

    I have 10 different boolit moulds s for .44's from 190gr to 310 gr. Literally rats to moose, and everything in between. I use my S&W696 for IDPA with Keith boolits and midrange loads that would take out any man if called on to do so. The versatility of these rounds is not even debatable...

    What Are Your Thoughts on SA Revolvers?

    Hell I might as well post pics of my boomers too. Top is Ruger Blackhawk Bisley .44 Special. and 5" Super Blackhawk Bisley .44Magnum with some work done to it. Randy

    Question About .44 Special Ammo.

    Doesn't sound like .44's are for you. Randy

    New Charter Undercoverette question.

    The fixed sights on pretty much all revolvers are regulated to one specific bullet/ velocity. The elevation is usually directly tied to the velocity of the load which in turn correlates to the amount of time the bullet is traveling in the barrel and the amount of muzzle rise during recoil. In...

    What Are Your Thoughts on SA Revolvers?

    Dave: I would feel better armed with my Glock 21 also, but it is too big to carry full time. The whole point of the mouse guns is that you would be more likely to have it with you as it only weighs 8 oz and can easily be carried in your front pocket,,, as opposed to a 2.5lb Revolver or Pistol...

    What Are Your Thoughts on SA Revolvers?

    A lot of opinions on this one and I have several as well. Depending on the intended use a SA Ruger is as effective for the first 6 shots as anything out there. Coupled with the fact that the vast majority of those guns are in Major Calibers, and getting hit by a 250 gr .44 or .45 cal. slug...

    How do I break in a new Mini-14 SS barrel?

    All over the place on this topic. On a Mini 14 you probably wouldn't see much difference in accuracy however it wouldn't hurt to spend a little quality time with your new gun. If you simply clean the barrel after firing a few rounds you will probably get all the benefit of the process that you...

    The High Road AR15 Picture Thread

    OK just found this thread so I'll put mine up. Bushmaster Carbon 15 with Magpul Furniture and a few doodads. And my new completely CA Legal Fight Light SCR with PSA upper. It is not exactly an AR, but it is effectively an AR, and it runs so nice it is disgusting!!! All the firepower and...

    Thinking about a red dot

    I have a Burris Fast Fire III on my G35 it works very well with no gunsmithing work done at all. Depending on what you plan on doing with the gun, and unless you are planning full time carry with the sight on all the time, you don't really need iron sights as a backup. Burris has the mount to...

    Best powder for loading 55gr boolits in AR 15

    I bought 6,000 Hornady 55 gr FMJBT bullets from Mid-South last year for $471.84, and that worked out to @.07 per bullet. For the amount it would cost you to set up for bullet swaging you could buy 12,000 bullets. Unless you are Jerry Miculek you'll have a hard time shooting up 12,000 bullets...

    Loading .577 NE with the BPM Hand Press.

    Loading .577 NE with the BPM Hand Press. I figured you all would be interested to hear about one of my recent sales. I sold a BPM Lock-N-Load Hand Press to a guy who is loading .577 Nitro Express with Paper Patched Cast Boolits. He lives in Texas and has been going to Africa frequently and...

    Buchanan Hand Press

    I sold a press this week to a man who is taking it to Africa to reload his .577 Nitro Express. His dies are bigger and required the LNL Version of the press where he will remove the conversion buching and thread the 1 1/4-12 dies directly into the top plate of the press. Everything else works...

    Buchanan Hand Press

    Walkalong and Englishmn: it would be good if you would write about your impressions using the tool so others can get a different viewpoint on what it is like to use it. This tool will revitalize your desire to load ammo for your shorter runs (50-100) at the dining room table or where ever you...

    Buchanan Hand Press

    These are still selling well if anyone is interested in having something nice and very portable to load ammo with. I have been loading all my Ammo on my LNL Press lately, and there are several videos on Youtube showing the process. It works so well it is scary and I get a lot of tactile...

    S&W M69 2.75" L Frame .44 Mag

    The X frame grips are definitely the way to go. I have them on my 696 and they made the gun easy and accurate to shoot. The extra padding covering the back strap makes all the difference in the world. These guns tend to shoot very high with soft loads but once you get them up to about 850 fps...

    small red dot for 10/22: $100ish, good battery life

    I got here late but have talked more people into the Bushnell TRS-25 than I can count. They are simply the best bang for your Red Dot Buck out there.. I have 6 right now and Midway just put them on sale for $60! You can't beat that. When I bought my 10/22 a year ago I took it to the range to...

    Range finding reticles practical?

    If you use one of the Ballistic Programs out there for free you can suss out elevation offsets for the most common ranges you'd be shooting at. This usually will be for 200-600 yards or maybe 800 if you wanted to go farther. You didn't say what caliber you are using so lets assume .308...
