Over the years I have had quite a few 38/357’s. I have slugged the barrels of each and none of them had a grove diameter greater than .355. I did have a 9mm HK that slugged out at .358. Because of this, I have often used 9mm bullets in reloading 38’s with no ill effects.

If static discharge is of concern to you it can be easily be handled. Run a small gauge wire from your press mount to ground. 18 to 22 gauge will be sufficient. Each time you touch the press you will discharge safely. Or you could use a wrist strap like is used by computer technicians.

Ithaca Model 72. Accurate and very few springs to go bad.

Another thought Based on the headstamp of the casings shown (WCC), these casings were produced by Western Cartridge Company (Olin) for military use [please note the NATO compass rose circle]. As such, they are not commercially available to the public in loaded form. Spent casings are...

I have done a little research on you to eliminate the possibility that you are one of the drive-by goofs that are occasionally found here. If your posts other places are to be believed, it would seem that you have at least some interest in firearms but your experience is limited. If you are...

Received my order yesterday. Thank you for the prompt service. First loads went down the barrel this morning. I am quite pleased.

I have loaded several hundred rounds with these bullets over W296. They are reliable in function and a lot of fun to shoot.

“The treaty is ... a law made by the proper authority, and the courts of justice have no right to annul or disregard any of its provisions, unless they violate the Constitution of the United States.” Doe v. Braden, 57 U.S. (16 How.) 635, 656 (1853). “It need hardly be said that a treaty cannot...

Appropriate Celibration Since the schools are closed today, you should take the kids to a gun shop to celibrate. A friend and I are taking his son to Cabela's. Happy John Moses Browning Day!

My results so far As it turns out, I have recently started to develop loads using the Hornady XTP 90 grain using W296. The short version [so far]: Bullet 90 grain XTP Powder Winchester 296 Primer Remington 6 ½ [Small Rifle] Load 15.0 grains OAL 1.565...

check the new calender So much for subtle humor. No one checked their new calendar for holidays.

John M. Browning was born on January 21 [or 23 depending what source you use] 1855. It is only fitting and proper that a person responsible for providing the means for defending our rights and freedom be appropriately recognized. I therefore propose that January 21, 2008 be celebrated as...

Sorry, duplicate post. Please remove

A friend just gave me a supply of cast strange wadcutters. Diameter – 0.355 Length - 0.355 Weight - 76 grains [+ or -] The mold was a Lee single cavity aluminum type. I don’t think they were intended for 9mm, but they are a bit small for .38. Any information as to the...

As with any machine, firearms frequently have a break in period. I’m pleased that your PPK/S seems to be working well. Should you need to fine-tune the action, Wolff carries a wide selection of reduced and extra power springs for the Walther. This is preferable to cutting the spring. The...

Here is the slippery slope. The Psychology professionals have never defined what mental health is. They have only defined mental defects and diseases. They can, therefore, more easily classify someone as defective than they can as healthy. I can easily see the argument going something like...

I may have a problem. I was starting to develop loads for a new .223 Rem rifle [well, new to me]. I had assembled about 20 rounds when I realized that I was loading CCI 500 small pistol primers. The load is a 52 grain speer over 24.0 grains of Reloader 12. So here is the question: Should I...

I have a AR180b. As far as reliability, thus far mine has been excellent, but I have used only .223 cartages. As I understand it, the chamber is somewhat of a hybrid, being dimensionally a .223 with a little extra free boar like the 5.56. I certainly would not use steel cased ammo at any...

Possible answer Based solely on the fact that your PPK/S looks like a virtual twin to my own [color, finish, etc.] which is vintage 72, I would guess that your Walther was Armoloy treated. This is a hard chrome finish usually done in the Fort Worth facility. This was a popular treatment in...

Perhaps I was unclear. I am aware that AA#7 is better suited to higher-pressure cartridges. I was not trying to disparage this product. Even so, given that the primer detonated was able to push the bullet into the barrel, it should have caused some of the powder to ignite. This did not...
