I'm going to take my 1911 to a pro for a trigger job, as my trigger has been getting a bit gritty. What I want is b/w 3.5 and 4.5 pounds, with a clean, crisp break. My preference is for as close to 4 pounds as possible, with no discernible creep. This is my primary carry gun, as well as my...

Yesterday, I had what I believe to be a squib load out of a box of Wolf 100 gr. 9x18 Makarov. While firing my CZ-82, I had downloaded my magazines to 3 rounds each. I was doing 3 round strings, dropping my empty magazines on the ground, performing a slide-lock reload (IDPA practice), then...

I use the primer attachment on my Redding T7 press to prime all of my cases. I've had it for a year, and this is the only thing that I don't like about that press. I use CCI primers, because they were cheap and I bought a couple thousand. I have often problems with primers not seating deep...

Hello, I've been trying to work up a reasonably accurate load with Berry's 185 gr flat-point bullets and W231 powder. Out of a 4" barrel, the best I can get was about a 6" 5-shot group at 25 yds. This was with 5.8 gr of W231. I've gone as low as 5.2 gr. I basically treated these using...

Now that NEF is making their HandiMag rifles, does anyone know if it would be possible to re-chamber the 300 WinMag into 300 H&H Mag? How much would such an operation be likely to cost? Please don't ask me why I want to do this, because I don't have a good answer other than "I like old...

Does anyone know anything about Sabatti shotguns? I had a nice 12 ga O/U follow me home last week (SN: 22XXX). I paid $335 for it. This one is in pretty good shape, but could stand to be refinished. This is a fairly "no frills" model. Double triggers, extractors (not auto-ejectors), etc...

Some friends and I are going on our first pheasant hunt in a month or so. One of them will be using his hand-me-down 1970's vintage 12 ga Browning auto-loader. Does anyone know if the Fiocchi nickel-plated Golden Pheasant loads are safe to fire in older guns like this? I know that...

Does anyone have data for Reloader 15 in the 7.5 Swiss? I sent Alliant a note, and all they had was the 130 grain bullet data from the Hornady Handbook (which I already had). I'm looking for data for 168 grain BTHP and/or 155 grain Hornady A-Max bullets. Thanks

Please tell me how I can improve this before sending. I plan to send a similar version to my state rep. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Governor Riley, I am writing to you to express my sadness and anger directed towards...

I am new to reloading and am wondering, do I really need to crimp my .45 Auto rounds? The test batches that I have done seem to work fine without any crimp, unless I'm missing something.

I've got a Kimber Series II (Pro Carry II HD), that I expect needs some extractor tuning. The problems that I am seeing are thusly: 1. 3 out of 200 rounds failed to extract, causing stoppage 2. Random ejection angles, sometimes hitting me in the head, some times landing brass inside my...
