    Loading .45 ACP with small primers

    I hate the small primer 45 brass. They drive me nuts. The reason is, I have to go through all my 45 brass now and pick them out. So I load them and keep them in my trunk until I see one of the clubs 3 hated brass scroungers show up. Then I break it out, shoot it and walk out for a minute...

    Problem with decapper on LNL Press HELP!!!

    I had that problem with my Hornaday and found that it was the primer hose. The hose was so dirty that the old primers were backing up and getting stuck under the shell plate. I cleaned it out with a can of compressed air.

    41 mag revolver, crimp?

    I've been reloading nothing but 210 gr cast with 7grs of Unique for years with a slight roll crimp. If I was reloading a heavier load I would increase the roll crimp.

    I think I got a good deal on a Type 99 Arisaka.

    A friend of mine who's in his late 80's has one on the wall in his living room. It is the nicest one I've ever seen. It's displayed with the bayonet and the wood is fantastic, light blond with out a mark on it. Complete matching numbers with a perfect mum. He told me He got it early in the war...

    Favorite Primers?

    I just started using a 100 Winchester and then a 100 Wolf to see if I could tell the difference when seating them. To be honest I can't tell the difference and I also can't see a difference in them at the range. The Wolf is a lot cheaper by almost $10.00 a 1000 and easier to find so I'll...

    .41 Magnum or .45 Colt Mountain Gun?

    I bought a 4 inch 657 41 mag in 1984. It's not a Mountain gun and it was one of a run of 1500 that came with a full barrel. I carried it for years in shoulder holster with 240gr Sliver tips as a back up. I use to get a little ribbing about carrying it until one day We were all at the range...

    What do you do when your arms are too short?

    I got a set of reading glasses that are safety rated. They don't really cost any more and you can buy them on line if you have your prescription.

    S&W 1911, SS or Scandium?

    I have 3 of them. I got the 108282 first about 4 years ago and it has been flawless in it's performance. Then a guy swapped me a brand new 108284 for a Model 27-3 and it's also been flawless in it's performance. A gun shop owner I know real good, offered me a real good deal [$750] on a...

    Need .44-40 and .41 Magnum loads

    I load a lot of 41 mag. Usally I use Penn 210gr or a Berry 210gr. I really like using Unique for 41mag. If I was loading a 230gr Keith bullet I would use 8grs of Unique.

    Early Model 57 4"

    7.0grs of Unique with 215gr cast wad cutters are a awesome combination for a 4 inch 41mag.

    Adjusting 32-20 sizing die to expand

    I got a new set of 32-20 dies from Hornady and the sizing die is suppose to also expand the mouth to seat bullets. Is it possibile to do this using 115 Grain Round Nose Flat Point Bevel Base with a Standard Sizing of .313... Or would I be better off buying a belling die like a 32 long.

    Hornady LNL vs Lee Turret Press

    Get the Hornady LnL it's a 5 hole press and it's real fast to change primers, powder charges and calibers. I reload a hour a night on mine and so far this month knocked out 2000 45's, 1000 41mags and a couple of 1000 of 38's and 357's. It's a real easy press to get use too.

    What to do with my old S&W 19-3

    I've used S&W for repairs alot and they do great work. But if you have a good gunsmith close by that's where I would go. Most gunsmiths are cheaper and faster than you would think and it won't hurt to get to know one in person..

    Why is a Smith 317 more than a 642?

    You would be better off getting a 617 10 shot if it's just for the range.
