    New 1911 picture thread

    I wouldn't bump the old one so I thought it would be OK to start another. Time to bump this back up. All these targets were shot offhand at 15 yards using a 200g. LSWC over 4.3 grains of Bullseye. First up is one I shot today. Les Baer Premier II: Next, Les Baer Thunder...

    Smith & Wesson 1006 trouble. Help!!!!

    [B] I have a Smith & Wesson 1006 that has about 600 rounds through it. After running 500 trouble free rounds through it I am getting failure to eject issues ever magazine. My handloads are on the hot side (180g. bullet 1300 fps) which is a max load. Even with weaker factory UMC loads the results...

    Please help with competition die setup

    I am setting up a brand new RCBS Summit press with Redding competition dies for 308 using a .336 bushing. After getting the neck sizer setup I am getting 8 thousands of runnout on the case neck on my once fired cases. Before they are sized at most they have 1.5 thousands so it is the neck...

    Thought I would share my SCAR 17 load workups

    About a week ago I picked up a new SCAR 17. What an amazing rifle. Only complaint is the 16" barrel. Too short for 308 in my book but if they ever make an 18" it will be on my Christmas list. After playing with irons for a while I decided to mount up a Vortex Viper 2.5x10 to test some...

    I am puzzled by this one.

    Hello all, I have a head scratcher here you might be able to help me sort out. First of all I know light .223 bullets in a 1/7 twist can cause jacket separation. After doing some research and in need of something to feed my AR I ordered Hornday 50g. V-max bullets to try. The rifle is a...

    Please help a dummy with a Lee Auto Prime Hand Priming Tool

    Hello All, I am currently (until about an hour ago) using a Lee Auto Prime Hand Priming Tool. It has primed thousands of cases and worked great. I had it upside down with a fresh tray of primers when the elevator pin dropped out. I am not talking about the seating pin but the first one that...

    Forgive me but another 15-22 FTF thread. Please help me figure this thing out.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The gun was purchased in December of 2009 when it was fairly new. Since I am in California it came with a neutered full size magazine without the load button which makes it a bitch to load. Since then I got a...

    This article on the S&W 625 accuracy has me a bit worried.

    On Saturday I pick up a Performance Center 625 with a 4" barrel. This is my only wheel gun simply because the semi-auto's feel better in my hand. A good buddy of mine is a revolver fanatic and after shooting lots of his different model wheel guns I decided to order the 625. The main reason I got...

    How do you like your Glocks?

    If I could not modify the Glock I probably would not own one. The trigger is just too heavy, grip too slick and sights awful. As a reloader the cost of reloading doubles when the only bullets you can safely shoot are FMJ or plated. Even the moly coated by Precision are about as much as Montana...

    Anyone try Longshot for .45acp?

    I have been looking at the Winchester load data site looking for a hot load to use for my Montana Gold 185g. HP's. According to Winchester 8.2 grains of Longshot powder will push a 185g. bullet to 1044 fps. I use Longshot for my 10mm and it meters very well and works great. I have never heard of...

    My Glock drops the striker out of battery.

    I got my New G19 out to the range on Friday and loaded up a full magazine. Round one cycled and fired like normal. I squeezed off another round and felt the slide shift forward a bit and heard the striker fall but no boom. I ejected the offending round and noticed this off center light strike on...

    Which has more felt recoil .45 or .40 S&W?

    The question refers to major power factor loads only. The reason why I ask is because I am looking for a gun to compete in limited 10 USPSA. The gun I am lookng at is a USP Expert which I can get in .45acp and .40 S&W. Thanks all, Sammy

    New to reloading 10mm: Newbie questions

    Hello all, I am new to the 10mm round and have a few questions. The gun I am using is a Glock 20SF with a KKM barrel. The Glock stock is plenty accurate and the only reason I got the barrel is to save the brass. This weekend I shot 100 factory UMC part# LC L10MMG 180g FMJ flat nose. I am...

    Wolf FMJ on Steel Targets

    I am attending a tactical rifle match next weekend and have Golden Tiger and Wolf FMJ in 7.62x39. Both are made with a steel jacket and lead core. Is this going to be a problem with metal targets that are made for rifle rounds? I have searched companies making rifle steel popers and targets and...

    Which optic for my AK on an Ultimak

    I am strongly leaning toward the Burris XTS-135 but I am torn on just getting the Aimpoint. I have heard very little on the Burris but they have been on back order for the last 6 months. Optics planet is getting them in stock next week. The Aimpoint is option 2 and is about twice the money...
