I have an old Gemtech Trinity 9mm suppressor. The suppressor has had less than 500 rounds through it in the 20 years I’ve owned it. It was very loud even when new. I would like to get it rebuilt as a dedicated suppressor for a HK SP5 SBR. Has anyone had an old suppressor rebuilt? Who did...

I would like to develop a load for my full auto MAC10. The gun is a full size MAC but chambered in 9mm with an UZI mag well. Any special loading considerations for an open bolt? I’m planning to load some of what I believe is Hornady’s discontinued #35597 which is a 147 FMJ encapsulated boat...

I bought a box of Hornady hollow base wadcutters back a few months ago to experiment with. I began with the published starting loads in the Hornady manual and worked up to max. They have been a lot of fun! I even loaded up a batch of them backwards which was pretty cool in water jugs. The...

Hi everyone, I’ve been loading Berry’s thick plated 158 grain bullets for a little while in both .357 and .38 special loadings. I’ve been using 5 grains of Unique in .38 special and 6 grains Unique in .357 magnum. I’m shooting them in a Ruger 77/357 with an 11” barrel. They seem to hit pretty...

I’ve been shooting a US Armament reproduction Colt 1903 with an AAC Tirant 9mm suppressor for a couple weeks now and the gun locks open when you manually chamber the first round. I think what is happening is the extra weight of the suppressor is causing the top edge of the barrel to get caught...

I just started reloading .32 ACP this week and stumbled upon something interesting. My load consists of PPU brass, Berry’s plated 71 grain bullets, CCI primer and 2.0 grains of Bullseye. I’ve loaded and fired 50 rounds so far with no malfunctions out of my Colt 1903. I had some old pressure...

A few months back I traded my S&W 642 to a friend for a model 640. Very happy with my trade. Both guns were shot very little and the 640 is marked “tested for +p+” so I don’t feel bad about shooting the gun. However, living in South Florida I typically wear gym shorts year around and the 640 is...

So yesterday I attempted to reload some mixed brass that included .44 mag, .44 special and .44 Russian. I have only reloaded .44 magnum before and have had good luck with my set of Lee .44 mag dies. Everything resized as normal and the de-capped and resized empty classes all fit in the chamber...

So about 10 years ago I picked up a box of Buffalo Bore .44 magnum 340 grain +p+ ammo to shoot in my Ruger Super Blackhawk. Well the bottom line is I’m too chicken to shoot them out of my 4 5/8” barrel Super Blackhawk revolver but wouldn’t mind launching a couple out of my Ruger 77/44. The...

Got an email today from SG Ammo showing Winchester .35 Remington factory ammunition is available now. Link below: https://www.sgammo.com/product/35-remington-ammo/20-round-box-35-remington-200-grain-winchester-power-point-ammo-x35r1 So does this mean Winchester .35 Remington factory brass will...

I’m filling out an electronic form 1 and have everything completed except the fingerprint part. I called my local sheriff department and they will fingerprint on a paper FD-258 card. Per the ATF electronic form 1 submittal web sight fingerprints must be as an ETF file. I asked the girl at the...

Does anyone know where to purchase a Beretta 950 jetfire .25 acp firing pin from? I took my Beretta Jetfire out for a little shooting yesterday and on the second mag the firing pin broke. This is an older pre safety model and has always been ridiculously accurate and reliable. Do these guns...

I purchased a marlin 336 in .35 Remington from a neighbor back a few months ago. With it came one green and yellow box of Remington 200 grain core-lokt soft points. Here’s a link to the rifle. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/marlin-336-value-35-remington.914562/ Since I can’t...

Can anyone help me out with a fair value on a Marlin 336 chambered in 35 Remington I would like to purchase? I see the prices on Gunbroker are all over the place but many of course have no bids. I really don’t see many lever actions down here in Florida so I’m not sure how much they go for...

Hi everyone. Five years ago a friend gave me around 35 pounds of cast lead bullets that her deceased father cast. The .357 bullets look pretty standard. But aren’t they supposed to have lubrication grooves? What about the .380 diameter bullets? Anyone have any idea what these go to? And the...

Hi everyone, I own a Hornady lock-n-load classic press and the “conversion bushing” as Hornady calls it keeps unscrewing. There are no wrench flats on either the conversion bushings or the die bushings so I’m not sure how to tighten it down. What’s the proper way to fix this? Thank you, Dan

Hello everyone. I finally started reloading with my 7 year old son after sitting a full reloading setup my father left me. I have basically no experience reloading and my father passed away before he really gained any reloading experience to pass on. I figured the best place to start was with...

How does everyone here clean your optics? I did my annual PVS-14 cleaning and did the usual rinse with distilled water and then cleaned the lenses with 99% isopropyl and cotton balls and blew off with compressed air. Also cleaned some telescope eyepieces too using the same process but no...

I took a defensive pistol class over the weekend and the class instructor was using targets by M3 Strategies that I really liked. Unfortunately it looks like M3 Strategies web sight is no longer active. Does anyone use anything similar? Looking for a good target for short range fast pistol...

About a decade ago my sister purchased this “lightly used” .30-06 Handi Rifle. She tells me it misfires every few rounds but doesn’t remember if it hits off center or if it doesn’t hit the primer hard enough. From what I’ve read online it is a problem with the transfer bar and can be fixed...
