I picked up a freebie Lee Pro 1000 that appears mostly complete with a few mods. I’m wondering if this press uses a plastic insert on the auto-index rod (underneath the turret) similar to the LCT? Currently, the turret is just sitting directly on the rod. Tried looking for a parts schematic -...

I've tried a variety of searches to no avail. We're (me, wife, kids) going up to Wisconsin for vacation & spending a couple days in Chicago on the way back. I don't plan to carry at all while in IL since my home state is not on the short-list of those afforded reciprocity. The IL State Police...

I've looked around and ER Shaw seems to be the only outfit that (within my price range) can make the barrel I'd like to use. 7x57, 20-inch varmint or semi-bull, threaded, and maybe fluted, preferably stainless. They only have 1-9.5 twist for 7mm...I think that's probably OK; I'll largely be...

Anybody know of anyone that has A2 gas blocks available & in stock for a .625 (pencil) barrels?? Thanks...Funnel

Anyone have experience with lead and HP-38/ W231 in .38 Super? I'd like to use the same MB 125gr LRN's I load en masse for 9mm. Doing some reading it looks like HS6 might be a better choice, but I'm just looking for accurate target fodder. HP-38 has worked really well in everything I've...

One of the new Ruger ~4" SP101's...trying to figure out the best way to swing for target plinking (using .313 100gr. LRN): .32 S&W Long, .32 H&R, or the Mag? I like accurate loads so will roll any of the 3 if there's an inherent advantage. That said, all my other .32's are Colt D frames, so...

What readily available, affordable Mauser actions are suitable for a .308 build? The Yugo's? Most of the Brazilian actions have been ridden pretty hard and I don't want to chop up a milsurp. Thanks...Funnel

I'm a big fan of the .32 in revolvers. I picked up a qty. of MB 100gr. RNFP's and am trying to find a somewhat non-anemic load. Using the Google-fu, 2.8-3gr. of HP-38/ Win231 looks promising. Any others (non-Unique)? Thanks...Funnel

After a pretty thorough search & eval I purchased a Kahr CM9 for concealed carry. So far I've made one trip to the range. All went well, but I realized I'm probably not shooting it right. I'm pretty much a collector. Handgun-wise the only non-1911 type or non-Colt DA revolver I own is a...

I have a semi-soft spot for stuff (currently) off-beat. Subject is a Ruger M77 in 6.5 Remington Magnum. I'm a big fan of .25-6.5's but really have little (ok, no) use for the rifle/ caliber; it just kind of tweaked the "neat" bone. I also really don't need another caliber to reload. That...

Anyone know off-hand the weight difference between a 1911-type Officers frame in steel vs. aluminum? Thanks...Funnel

I'm in the market for one of the new(er) SP101's (5771 - the 4.2" .357). All the distributors are out and listing no b/o. I know many mfr's. typically do production runs, but good grief. A couple of the local LGS's quoted me a fine price, they just can't get them. Online these and their...

Looking @ a Colt Series 80 in 9x23 and memory fails me. Can the 9x23 barrel be used w/ .38 Super ammo, or would I be better off just picking up a 2nd barrel? Thanks...Funnel

Pretty much a Colt fan, but there are a few S&W revolvers (& auto's for that matter) that I find appealing; don't own a single one yet though. I recently came across an example that might be enough to push me over the edge. A Model 24 that pretty much looks new. Thing is SWEET. Good grief, I...

Anyone have a 7.62x54R load available for Sierra 150gr. .311 ProHunter & H4350? Thanks in advance...Funnel

I've got a box of 162gr. Hornady SST's and plenty of H4350. I can't find anything on the button, but 40-42gr. seems to be the line? Thanks...Funnel

Some time back I bought several boxes of "reloading stuff" from a buddy. Among the loot was a Dillon 450jr press. He mentioned a couple things were missing but could be purchased & it'd been some time since he'd boxed the stuff up and couldn't remember all of it. Not having reloaded before...

Anyone have any load data for .38 ACP using 125gr. Lead Bullets? Thanks...Funnel

Trying to pin down current value on an original Model 22 for a friend. Albeit I'm a Colt revolver fan, but I've searched high & low & outside of the Blue Book have found nada. The weapon is 98% with original box. Thanks...Funnel

I recently got the bug to build another 1911 and wound-up with a fairly decent rendition. One problem: the front sight. I picked the slide up on GunBroker (a good shape Colt ORM 1991) and it was already cut for Novak sights front & rear. Not the best job, but the rear was fine --nice & snug...
