    Suggestions for Best value in Jacketed .45 Auto

    Also please note I am curious about best value, not necessarily cheapest. But cheap is good too.

    Suggestions for Best value in Jacketed .45 Auto

    I could probably find this in a post somewhere if I hunted long enough, but I would appreciate your thoughts on the best value in jacketed .45 caliber projectiles for .45 Auto applications. Obviously the more you buy the better the value . . . but I think around 5000 would be the most I would...

    Hornady LNL Small Primer Feed Problem

    I am using a Hornady LNL and I am having a problem with my small primer feed system. I have loaded several thousand rounds of large primer ammo without this problem. It appears when I reach the top of the stroke and the primer slide is fully extended (the point at which the primer drops into...

    Kimber Custom Target II vs. Springfield Loaded

    I apologize if this has been discussed ad nauseum elsewhere. Any thoughts about the relative value of these two firearms? It is hard to figure out how to compare these two guns, but my general sense is that Springfield costs a bit more ($100-$200) for comparable characteristics. My only...

    Can a .452 Diameter Round be used in a .45 ACP case?

    So yes because the lead round is malleable and can be made to fit? What if I wanted to use a jacketed round, then no? Thanks

    Can a .452 Diameter Round be used in a .45 ACP case?

    I suspect the answer is no since the case has a diameter of .451, but I like to ask stupid questions. I ask because I have been using a 230 grain round for bowling pins, which poops out when the pins get full of lead and wont carry the pin off the table. I would like to try a heavier round...

    Smith Wesson 626 Frame Hammer Question (Looking for Schematics)

    I must give credit where credit is due. You were absolutely correct RCModel, I must have been hallucinating. It is a 625-6, the firing pin was slightly rotated not allowing the firing pin retaining pin to drop, and it is all better now. Thanks for taking the time to set me straight.

    Smith Wesson 626 Frame Hammer Question (Looking for Schematics)

    Oops, I see you linked me to 625-6. No it is definitely a 626-6. I can only find a very few references to a 626 on the web at all. Your comment about the pin sounds right though, I do recall seeing a flat along the pin so I'm sure that is what happened. Weird that the schematics jump from...

    Smith Wesson 626 Frame Hammer Question (Looking for Schematics)

    Most excellent! It is a 626-6, thanks for the link. I agree I will not do that again.

    Smith Wesson 626 Frame Hammer Question (Looking for Schematics)

    I have a 626-6 in 45 ACP I just bought used. I had the pistol disassembled with the side plate removed and (in retrospect stupidly) I dry fired the weapon to see the internal function without a snap cap in place. Out popped what appeared to be a small post which I believe was probably a...

    LNL AP Questions

    I am sure these items can be found elsewhere so forgive what is likely a repetitive post. I have just set up my Hornady LNL AP and have a few problems. 1) When I get to the bottom of the lever pull, there is a little resistance and then a "clunk" as the lever arm finishes the stroke. This...

    Reloading Supply Websites

    I have looked around and don't find a post on this topic, sorry if I am wrong. Looking for a list of online sources for powder, primers and projectiles (aside from the obvious like MidwayUSA, Cabelas, etc). Mom & Pop shops would be great too. Thanks.

    Mauser K98 "Parade Gun" with Jeweled Bolt?

    Wilson 1911 Drop In Barrel Is the Wilson 1911 drop in barrel really "drop-in"? Can a normal person actually fit this barrel?

    Slow C&R FFL Application

    As a follow up, I took the advice to write the ATF again and ask for a status. Less than a week later my C&R showed up in the mail! Thanks again for the excellent advice!

    Thanks Mustang. Actually, thats exactly what I sent when they asked for additional info. How long did it take for yours from start to finish?

    Slow C&R FFL Application

    Embarrassing thing to admit, but back in the days of my foolish youth I was arrested once for what is termed in my state a "simple assault". Never convicted for anything, dealt with the matter appropriately and quickly, and it happened over ten years ago. I applied for my C&R in early August...
