I reloaded 200 40gn varmint rounds for my vintage BR rifle this afternoon, and noticed a couple odd-duck headstamps. 1. G.F. 2. Super-Speed Not quite sure who they are aside from the old Frontier, Super-X, and various Remington .222 cases. I even had one piece of Savage brass FWIW.

I just spent a few bucks on a new custom target gun that's going to be built up in the next few weeks. I'd like to work with a few experienced shooters so I can get started the right way without burning too much ammo and tearing my hair out. I can get .223's out to 500 yards, but I'd like to...

OK, I am the nomadic type and I spend most of my time off from work in my fifth-wheel trailer. The huge basement workshop has been gone for a year and I need some creative substitutes for reloading. I've been using a Frankford Arsenal portable stand (don't like it for my single stage and a...

I'm thinking of picking up a Lee hand press for stealth reloading at work and in the field. Are there are drawbacks or bits of advice, such as realistic caliber limitations or performance tweaks that would help me out? I'm planning on using it to reload .45 ACP, .38 Super Auto, .45-70...

I'm getting a nice Siamese Mauser conversion in 45-70 that I will definitely handload. So far, I've been disappointed with Lee dies and have been served well by RCBS, but I would like to know if there are other 45/70 die brands to consider?

I mulling over the idea of purchasing a stainless .45-70 rifle when my tax refund check arrives. I'd like to know what some of the better low recoil handloads work best in this caliber. Also, is it possible to handload.45 ACP bullets in a .45-70 case? I already handload for my .45 H&K USPc.

I have a opportunity to go take a few defensive pistol classes from "The Institute" that teaches out of Maxon shooting in Des Plaines, IL. Does anyone have any experiences to share (good or bad)? Was the training detailed and worth the cost?

Hi; I'm about to get my CCW permit and I'd like to get some kind of a .38 pocket revolver that can fire my .38 super handloads from moon clips. I'm not looking to 'sell one of my kidneys' to fund a new purchase, but I'd something that digests any of the my 2,000 handloads sitting on my...

Do the RCBS X-dies use the standard FL sizing die body? I would like the X-die sizing function without having to purchase another die for my .223 rem handloads/reloads. Can I just purchase the X-die mandrel for my FL small base die or does it utilize a different case?

I've been mulling over the idea of putting together a pistol carbine AR in a commando length either 45 ACP or 10mm Auto. The HK USC seems impressive, but it seems that I can build what I want for under $1000. . . Far under the price of a UMP conversion. I have 45 ACP brass and ammo, but the...

Do any of you have a favorite way of decapping primers with using a press? I collect used brass, which I may eventually sell, and I'd like a simple and effective way of removing the primers before tumbling without buying a million different shellholders.

Damn thing won't take a shellholder- either RCBS nor Lee. I am right to assume that this thing is a total POS, or am I missing something here. I insert the shellholder per the instructions, but the retaining lip on the bottom of the shellholder is too large to fit inside of the priming tool.

I have a PS 90 that I just had local machinist modify to hold a m1913 rail at a lower bore height. I'm considering the purchase the of a holographic sight, and I need your input. Here's what I'm considering: 1. Kobra Weaver red dot 2. C-more railway (aluminum, clicks) 3. Bushnell...

I just purchased a new Taurus PT38 in stainless steel (non-pimp model) and I was wondering if the grips were the same as the PT99 or other models. I'd like to install the factory rosewood grips. Any suggestions?

Hi; I'm considering the purchase of a .38 Super Auto pistol that can also reliably fire 9x23 cartridges. I've already looked the EAA Witness, and I would like to know if there are any other .38 Super pistols that can handle the higher chamber pressures? Also, I don't have the budget for a...

I finally broke down and purchased a new CZ550FS in .270 for $30 under dealer cost and I'm going to save up for a nice, spnedy scope while I work on iron sight marksmanship. Thinking of spending at least $500 on a fixed power scope used for the larger critters (minus Mr. Grizzly) in the...

I just purchased a new CZ 75B polycoat for use as my weekend range gun. Aside from adding on LPA fiber optic sights soon and getting a possible trigger job down the road (2K rounds), I need some new grip panels. I'm not very fond of the plastic cheese graters, and I'd like something a...
