Hi all, I cast my own, but have been thinking of buying some jacketed. Berry's has 200 gr bullets with a hollow base and without hollow base. I like the idea of the hollow base, but wonder if it affects accuracy. Anyone tried the hollow base and did you get good results? These will be...

Hi all, 1- a 45 acp that has the same type of trigger pull as a 1911. I do not like the long trigger pull like a Glock has. 2- a larger capacity. 7+1 and 8+1 is ok, but want more. 3- Has at least a 5" barrel. 4- has no issue with lead bullets. With them 4 aspects, what can I...

Can boxer and berdan primers be removed with a standard decapping die? I hear a lot about one have 2 side holes and one having a center hole. I am only asking as 223/5.56 is new to me and I am just running a decap die now. Some seem really tough to decap, but look the same after decap. Mixed...

Hi All, I acquired a large coffee can of lead shot. Its mixed 8,9 6 and 4. I would like an easy way to get the 4 and 6 out. I load for cowboy shooting and they say no loads with #6 shot or larger. Its probably a one time deal and I just need a cheap simple option to seperate the larger 2...

as the title says-. I have 2 large coffee cans with 5, 6 and 8 shot mixed together. Is there a device to sort these? I don't care much for the 5&6 mixed. But would like the 8 removed for more standard use. Small screen or drilled out piece in a funnel is about the only thing I can come up...

Hi all, I lost a family member who is a collector and reloader like myself. I have to go to NY state to get some things that were left to me. I am wondering about handguns in NY state. Since they are registered to said owner, do I have to do forms in NY state to another FFL in my state of Maine...

I have had many shotguns in my lifetime, but never heard of or used a 'turkey choke'. It extends about 1 1/2" past the end of the barrel. I haven't used it to see what pattern I get, can you tell me more about this choke and what to expect pattern wise? Thanks, Bob

Hi all, Anyone know if the new H&R excell semi auto can take a mag extension? Is it from the illion plant? Just wondering, prices are very good at our local Cabelas. Knowledge of people behind the counter are not. For instance, I asked about JM pro 930 mossberge barrel length 22 or 24 on hand...

I had a stuck shell when doing some 30-06. had to drill and tap etc. Seems to me that maybe the lube needs to also be inside the case. Whats the norm on rifle case's and lube, inside or outside case or both? I am going to be using Hornaday One Shot as its what I have on hand. I've not...

I need some blue shotgun shells for some wedding decorations coming up this spring. My future daughter in law wants to make some (spelling?) boot-in-ears. Something like that. Just wonder who makes 12 gauge with blue hulls. I always use Win AA, and haven't seen blue. Any help would be...

Hi Guys, I have several loading books and looked them through. I am getting ready to load for my m&p 223/5.56. Barrel is stamped 5.56. I have w-748 and imr-3031 on hand from doing my 30-30 and 45-70 loading. But only about 3/4 pound of each. I want to make a powder order because I but don't...

Hi, I am looking for some light loads for 12ga for cowboy shooting. I use to load for my SxS, but stopped when prices of shot went to $45 per 25lbs. Now I use a mod 97, mfg date 1907 and it like factory winchester light load at 985fps. Would be nice to match that load somewhat. Found some #9...

Hey all, I load black powder and wonder the best way without a powder dump. I only load about 50 45-70s and a few hundred 45LCs with BP. I usually pour into a volumn type measurer. Gets a little messy. I was thinking of pouring powder into a bowl and scooping that way and wondered if plastic...

Hey Guys, A few questions? 1- why is special lube needed for black powder in cartridge ammo? 1a- my standard lube and the blackpowder lube by lyman both have a melt temp of 150 degrees. 2- I have a 50/50 mix of BP lube and the standard lube in my sizer. So, my bullets are 50/50 lubed...

Hey all , I picked up a wichester mod 97 pump and it doesn't seem to want to eject empty shells. It will eject a fully loaded shell, but not a fired shell. It keeps it up top and doesn't fall down into receiver. Ser # puts mfg date at 1907. Cannot find on gun if 2 3/4 , so maybe thats my issue...
