I was looking for a set of 40 S&W dies for my SDB. I found a complete press with 40 dies, so I bid on it. $200 later I won. I am still in shock. Looks like it is all there. I will see how well it works when it arrives. The good thing is if anything is wrong Dillon will make it right.

With the opening of a new indoor range 15 min from me a month ago, I am able to shoot more and play with different loads. I love Trail Boss in my revolvers for light target loads, but it felt wrong to shoot such a light load in my Warrior. Fun, but wrong. I used 3.5 gr under a 200 LSWC. The...

I bought one on a whim about 4 years ago. After reading a few posts about the fluted chambers killing reloadable brass, and the butcher jobs Century did on some I was thinking about getting rid of it. So I gave it a thorough inspection/cleaning and figured I should at least shoot it to make sure...

In NJ anything over 15 rds is illegal. Trying to find Mec Gars in 15 rd capacity now that everything is 16 rd without paying $30 to $40 /mag is rediculous. I know Pro mags suck, but if I can get them for $11 ea, then pick up Wolf mag springs and replace the factory spring and come out 1/2 the...

My wife has an itch for a new pistol and saw this one in a magazine. She has yet to fondle one, but I am looking fo opinions or experiences. Thanks

I was recently given some once fired 45 brass. About 1/3 of it is NT. Does anyone have any recomendations for loads. I use 231 for normal loads in 45. Thanks

My friends Dad just gave him his old Belgian made Auto 5. The gun needs a little tlc so we are cleaning it up. I have downloaded the manual from Browning, but I can not find any info on how the remove the bolt from the reciever. I have an idea, there is a pin holding the bolt latch on and there...

A friend my wife works with has a 686-1 M, 4'' with wood medalion grips. She has less then 150 rds through it and bought it new 20 yrs ago. I took her to the range to teach her to shoot her pistol , but when she pulled out a 686 while she stood at only 5'1'' tall with little stubby hands I knew...

I am a die hard Sig fan. Today I shot my new CZ75B, and oh my god did it shoot just as good as any and dare I say better than a few Sigs I have shot. I brought out a new shooter and he shot out the 10 at 7 yards. He commented how comfortable it was to hold and how well it handled. I know the...

I have been trying to collect different pistols instead one kind/brand in different calibers. Not that I have a lot, but I am trying. I want a cross section of what is availible and with the exception of 1911's ( I am a sucker for them), I do not have any duplicate platforms. So I am thrilled to...

Does anyone know if these exist? I am sure I can make one, but it is so much easier to find one already done. Thanks

Someone was kind enough to leave me a few hundred once fired on the pistol range.There was 9mm, 40 and 45. My wife could not understand my joy at finding brass in the sand. There was also 70 9mm Makorovs that I do not load for. It is mostly S&B and a few Federals. If any one would like them...

I was in Dick's and they had a Rem 597 .22 with 3x9 scope for $150. What is everyones take on the 597, I like it better so far then the 10/22. Please do not respond to do a search, that defeats the whole purpose of interacting on the site which is why many are here.:neener: thanks

I am getting into the bullet forming stage of reloading. As I am researching casting equipment I came across a chapter on swaging. It seems easier than casting, requires less equipment but probably a little more expensive for supplies(having to buy lead wire). Thoughts, opinions or...

I am talking about the real deal, not a home invasion.(not that that is trivial). Out and out chaos. I have read a few threads about long range target aquisition, having 5000 rounds /gun, get out of dodge equipment etc.. Aside from those of you out in BF Egypt who can have a base of ops in the...

I keep reading about lead and not using them in these bores. Is there a list of pistol manufacturers who use these barrels? Thanks

I am looking for my first single action and I am leaning towards a Ruger Blackhawk. No particular use for it other than to shoot it. Any suggestions, experiences or dislikes? I have no preference in caliber or barrel length at this point. I already load for .357 and .44 mag. The 45 colt is an...

I currently have Win231 and Blue Dot. I am looking for the better of the two to load with 180 gr FMJ. I want to keep using the same powder with multiple calibers if posssible. If not, I am open to other powders. My barrels all have fully supported chambers. Thanks

I am thinking about casting my own bullets. It seems like the next logical step in reloading. But I want to know, is it worth it? Looking at the equipment needed, the amount of mold cavities that can be done at one time affordably. And the fact a range session seldom goes for less than 500...

I just started building my own 1911's and became intrigued when I read an article about Jim Clark building them in .38 spec for some years. Does anyone know anything about this combination? It is definately cheap and fun to shoot. Can I buy just the barrels anywhere, Clark only lists shop...
