    S&B .380

    Sorry, didn't mean for that to come off as smart-ass as it sounds this morning.. Just have spent years loading larger components, Probably not going to reload for 9mm Kurtz, don't think I'm going to keep the gun. Open for offers on .380 AMT,.. Trades?

    S&B .380

    Went to the ARX site, didn't find .380 listed out front.. Am able to control interest in .380, maybe especially AMT, doubt I'll be buying a lot of ammo for it. Can't even imagine re-loading for it. Not just for the AMT, reloading .380 seems, ah, a bit tedious. Do yo you use regular size...

    S&B .380

    Good idea, but I live in CA, where I evidently need to be an FFL to buy ammo. No biggie, justs wanted enough S&B 7.62x25 to shoot across an chrono, to show me how much PP to load behind my XTPs..

    S&B .380

    Thanks for the answers, guys. I got the gun from a fellow who carried and shot it for something like seven years, said it had never misfired once in that time.. Probably used S&B, is why he sent a couple of boxes along with it. Now I need to find some S&B for my .30 Tok...

    S&B .380

    Picked up an AMT .380, evidently wont feed anything but FMJ ball ammo. It came with a couple of boxes of S&B 92gr FMJ. Is there anything special about S&B FMJ, or is it just more ball ammo? For what ever reason, it seems a bit more expensive than the others. Is this just marketing, or is it...

    Mike Dillon has died

    Has he actually died? Facebook recently fat fingered something, announced about half its members died, turned out to be complete BS..

    .45-70 cast vs. jacketed of the same weight

    If you have a strong gun, I don't think you can get enough 3031 in the case to hurt it, using cast 405g gr. I usually load it compressed for my Siamese Mauser. When I want it a bit more sporty, I go to 4198, but I don't have my load data at hand, won't guess at loading.. I usually top off the...

    7.62x25 Tokarev

    Got a CZ52 with both barrels, shoot up a bunch of .30 Tok, pull slide, change in 9mm barrel, reassemble, fill same mag w/ 9mm and blast away. Note much less recoil with 9mm.. I checked the 9mm ammo box to make sure I wasn't shooting some kind of reduced recoil stuff... Prefer my TTC, but it...

    Real Reason for 380 over a 32 cal.?

    Ummm.. That's really interesting. What does it mean?

    Real Reason for 380 over a 32 cal.?

    35 cal bullet is bigger, heavier than 30 cal bullet at similar velocities...

    .44 mag rifle?

    I know a fella who had a .44 mag flattop, eventually got a lot of ammo for it, but developed a sore hand from the revolver, which he sold, and bought a Marlin (?) .44 carbine. All his pistol ammo is too small for the rifle bore, he sold the rifle and now has a lot of .44 rounds and nothing to...

    Savage 99

    #1 son still has an old .243 Savage 99 I gave him years ago. It's near enough to worn out, and Savage won't even discuss it. Is there anybody out there in the business of re-furbishing these old rifles? Still a good old gun, if a bit loose...

    9mm/.38 Super

    I sent an email to Starline, inquiring about the difference between their x23 and Largo brass, they replied: "The main difference between our 9mm Largo brass and our 9x23Comp brass is the hardness of the head of the case. The 9x23Comp get hit a lot harder during the heading process to harden...

    9mm/.38 Super

    Well I show both the x23 and the Largo with 10 thou taper, base to rim, and both have same base dia. as the basic 9mm... But I see there is a lot of different opinion on the dimensions of the x23 reamer and the throat length, and my local 'smith hasn't a Largo reamer, whatever the throat is...

    9mm/.38 Super

    Well, I already have a quite functional 9mm, an S&W99, and since I'm a long-time reloader, caster, etc, have a lot of 9mm bullets, and all types of powder, and primers and whatnot, the brass would be the only issue. I don't see any important differences between the Largo and the 9x23, but...

    9mm/.38 Super

    Makes since to me, how about 9mm Largo/9x23 Win, loaded to .38 Super velocities. I have some doubt about the strength of the barrel vs. 9x23 Win at factory loadings, but I mostly re-load everything for the result I'm looking for. Probably can't just bop on down to the gun store and pick up a...

    What Was the Powder Used During Early Vietnam?

    The first Stoner designed weapons in 'Nam were AR15s, bought for AF Mps, by Gen. Curtis LeMay. These weapons were supplied with armorers kits and ammunition. I heard that none of the armorers kits were even opened, non of the AF guns ever jammed or failed. So the Army had a go, immediately...
