Lyman lists it's bullet weights as used with #2 alloy, got it. Straight WW's give heavier weights, got it. For hardcast bullets I've been going with WW's with 1 LB rolls of 50/50 solder per 10 LBS WW's (44 Mag)...With this mixture, my bullets have been dropping around 15 to 20 gr heavier than...

1) Do you think it's necessary to use virgin brass to load Match quality ammo? 2) Do you think it's necessary to use Match Brass to load Match ammo? 3) Do you think it's necessary to use Match bullets to load Match quality ammo? 4) Define what Match grade means to you. (GMM, 1MOA...

What can you all tell me about the LDA's? Friend showed up with a new one. I think it was a P-7? It was full sized, 5", takes regular 1911 mags and is DAO. I liked it as a first impression but it struck me as kinda weird. The safety is engaged with hammer down of course, it being a DAO. I...

I loaded some 158g LSWC's with 3.0g Bullseye. The SWC's come from a LEE mould that I was given recently and have never loaded before. It was Lee mould #C358-158SWC which is a gascheck design. They wont chamber in about four different guns, in fact, none that were tried. They hang up on the...

The other malf we had yesterday at the range was my friend Daniels Model 60 Marlin Glenfield 22LR. Very weird. Very weird. The trigger started getting hard to pull. Real hard. I tried it and it was hard enough to be past the point of "I think somethings wrong", but wait! there's more! After...

Had a strange malfunction on my MKIV series 80 yesterday at the range. I hardly ever have malfs with this gun and when it does its always my reloads but not this time. My friend Daniel is shooting it left handed and it locks up in mid string. It appeared to be at slide lock but actually it...

I loaded and shot some 180g wadcutters with 11.0g of 2400 and really liked the accuracy and low recoil in my CA Bulldog, not to mention the pins didn't walk with these loads.:D I haven't replaced my shot up Chrony yet... Anyone venture a guesstimate to the velocity that I'm getting from...

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but can someone explain electoral votes to me? I'm probably wrong but from what I understand, the popular vote (peoples) does not (?) affect the electoral vote (which is the deciding factor in who gets elected.) If that's so then the peoples vote means nothing...

Saw a guy at the range yesterday with a S&W 500 complete with shoulder holster. I didn't get to shoot it but have you guys seen the cartridges for that thing? :what: Wow. I thought they were 45/70's at first glance! From what I've heard about that gun I expected it would have had to be...

My buddy got a titanium taurus .38 Will it handle a steady diet of +P's? Was 400 too much?

Interesting day saturday. Our own dog went traitor and bit 3 family members. The wife getting loaded up for us to go visit a friend and the BIL and my son get into a fight. Nothing serious, some shouting and BIL grabbed son by the shirt front and the dog jumps up and lays hold of sons hand. BIL...

After getting an M1A I began reloading for it, and My sons/BIL's 700 Remmy's. Many of the reloads would not chamber in the 700's. Advice gotten here was to give the sizing die an extra 1/8 to 1/4 turn. In between doing that and even running them through the sizer twice (?) seemed to help a...

I've heard and read about the steel rod penetrators that are inside the SS109's and M2AP's but never actually seen a cross section of one so decided to have a look see for myself. Very interesting so decided to share. 62g SS109 10.6g penetrator. 163g M2AP 79.4g penetrator.

Familierity breeds contempt and complacency. Having done something for a long time without a problem sometimes makes us feel as if we can do more than we can (cause we've been doing it so long we're 'experts' at it!):uhoh: Mike's blown case thread really made me rethink my own...

Whooppee Business is good, I get about 300 bucks in disposable income and I figure to buy a scope for my 20" A3 Bushy. It'll let me better test my loads for it mostly but I intend on still continuing to use the iron sights alot also. I know some of you guys have been into AR's for a long time...

I went to the range a couple weeks ago and my buddy shot his 30/06 (165g factory Ballistic Tips) into a piece of 3/4" plate steel I had and it made it half to two-thirds of the way through. Almost there.:cool: My buddy picked up some surplus M2AP 30/06 for 35 cents ea. at the gun show and I...

Had a blast at the range today. My & one of my buddies have been welding up our own steel targets and tried a bunch of them out. 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4" plate steel. welded/hung with rebar to be swingers. Some interesting shooting with 22lr, 380, 40S&W, 44 Mag, 12GA, 5.56MM, 7.62 X 39. .308 Win...

LMAO.

I stripped, stained and laquered my stock this weekend while the metals out getting refinished... The stain went on great, easy and looks beatiful. When I laquered it yesterday with multiple light coats from a spray can...It went great and looks awesome from a distance, but today when I look...

Sent my 870 out to get powdercoated and realized that the ejector spring is still staked into the receiver, as well as one of the shell latches. It'll go through the oven to bake on the finish, 350 to 400 deg F for 30 mins is my understanding. Will this affect the items mentioned? Should I...
