Been looking for a good load to match to some boolits I ordered today from Rimrock. I got their 158gr SWCHP with a gascheck, the same used by Buffalo Bore to make their +P and non-+P Metro loads. I have Unique, Titegroup, Longshot, Vihtavouri 3N37, a touch (not much) HP38 and a bit of Blue...

Excuse my potential ignorance :neener: I have shot many of my .38 12.5gr of 2400 158gr Keith loads in my GP100, but I have just purchased a SP101 for carry. For backwoods carry or similar, can the SP101 handle such a load? I know they are similar if not crazier than .357, but just wanted to...

Hey all! I just obtained a nice 2 1/2 barreled stainless Security Six, only to have a question. It is the adjustable sight model and serial is 159xxx, will the sights from the GP100 fit these? I ask as this is my toting around mohaska and wouldn't mind some night sights just in case the...

I just recieved a new Arsenal ALR106FR and a mess of mags from a friend who passed away recently. Needless to say, this gun will never be sold! :) Anyway, it is a 5.56mm AK, standard AK sighting, up to 800M. My question is, using 62gr ball, where would I sit the zeroing target with what...

Quick one: Friend gave me a bunch of bullets he didnt want anymore. I have been loading .38 Special for quite a while. One box (about 500 of them left) was marked Ranier (good bullets, but I love Berry's :D) ballistics 130gr Round nose flat point .38. They mic at .3565 and are in fact 130...

I was loading some of my M855 loads (25gr. H335, non-loaded SS109 projectiles) this weekend. I loaded 50 of them, but while loading, I began to seal the primers using nail polish (blue, like some of the cool Federal M193). I put a small smear of it around the primer wall (? terminology?) in...

Hey all: I have rejoined the Mini-14 crowd after too many years in the AR group :D:D:D. I picked up a Mini-14 that has the older 1/10" twist rate. Before I rid myself of the AR, however, I am flush with non-loaded M855 bullets and 64gr. Power Points. I researched my rear off, only to...

This is a question in regards to the .22 conversion kits for the Ar-15. I have a M261 kit and love it to death. It is pretty acurate (2" at 50, and Im shakey) and the mags have a different top than the Cienar mags, so the BlackDog Machine mags are plentiful and IN stock (rather than many of...

To all: I have tuned up my nice PT1911, replaced all the internals, everything (essentially!). However (not since I have replaced the parts), with my mags (a few McCormicks shooting stars and some no name mags that use some McCormick shooting star parts) jam up with a full mag. Insert full...

Hey Gang! I have been loading my .223 subsonic stuff for a while now (usually 3.1gr Titegroup, nice, clean, consistent). I love it! More accurate than a .22 conversion kit (55gr. Stabilizes well), I can cover a 5 shot group at 50 yards with a quarter if I do my part. My question is: If...

I have a cute little Constable that I absolutely adore. However, lately, I have had an issue with the single action aspect of the weapon. With the hammer completely back (weapon completely clean and good ammunition), pulling the trigger will only result in putting the hammer to half cock only...

I have put a very well used Smith 915 in lay away here for practically nothing. Comes with three magazines, a worn out finish (but i do love the plum look older smiths get with their bluing), but the trigger is incredibly smooth, especially in double action. Looks bad, will most certainly run...

Hey guys. Ive wanted to know what kind of loads (and maybe recipes:D) people have for loads of history (loads you used to carry, shoot or maybe dad/grandad used to shoot). I needed some help with one though... .38: Treasury Loads (I like heavy doses of Titegroup for these) Metro Loads...

I have been blessed with several bottles of Royal purple engine assembly lubricant. I have been using this on my slide rails as it is very sticky, stays in one place, slippery and seems to work well. I only put a thin layer on the rails and other bearing surfaces (barrel lugs, bushings, etc.)...

Okay, with all the posts of "range idiots", makes me worry about the image of "dont go to the range, you mess up once, you get screamed and threatened!". We dont do that of course ;), but I would like to request people's ideas and stories on how they CONSTRUCTIVELY corrected a range mistake. I...

I recently bought a nice RIA 1911 off a friend for roughly 200 dollars (well, 100 plus a days work putting up a fence). He claims to be a good gunsmith (1st hand knowledge he is not) and the RIA has one of his "ramp jobs". The gun sets back any FMJ that I put into it. The chamber is roughly...
