    Nickel cases - sources?

    I believe brittleness is proportional to the thickness of the nickel plating... IE the amount of time the brass company leaves the cases in the plating solution. Perhaps newer nickel brass uses less plating?

    Nickel cases - sources?

    I bought 3 cases of the grade 3 nickel .40 brass($18/1000) from midway last month. 90% were speer and all were of acceptable quality.

    Berretta 92's-break any parts lately?

    I have broken two minor parts on my USA made 92FS INOX in the 4 years I have owned it --over 12,000rds--. 1st part to break occured about 1 year ago (maybe less maybe more): Hammer Release Lever. COST TO FIX: ~$100 (Gunsmith) because I didnt know I could order parts from beretta directly...

    Do you load hot?

    I load my HG loads pretty close to the max published, and in 9mm I have even exceeded it. (with care!) I'm sure I will get bored someday and load down for pure accuracy...:rolleyes:

    Used gun parts?

    Numrich's pricing on ammo and components is seriously FUBAR. $10 for 500 primed .223 cases.... FFL REQUIRED?? $106 for 1000 used 9mm brass?? LOL. If I was an FFL I'd buy all their .223 brass and sell it on ebay for 3x as much....

    Sabots for 9mm, do they exist?

    The OAL would be too great for all but the lightest .30 cal bullets.

    135gr .40 JHP

    Georgia Arms has a 155gr gold dot moving at 1300fps.... I think that may be a good choice for all year work.

    Thoughts on - Remington Golden Saber 124gr +P

    My informal water bottle tests 3 years ago showed me that pushing a golden sabre really fast ment jacket seperation.... No problems with the gold dots. Although the jacket seperated, the core still expanded....

    Herco in the .40s+w?

    I prefer longshot for most of my 40 loadings.... except for 200gr bullets. Pretty accurate and completely fills up the case. Louder than power pistol but similar flash.(for mid-weight bullets at least)

    Where can I find Surplus 124 gr. Nato 9mm?? in Case lots?

    I just orded a case of the 124gr +P gold dots from ammoman.($159 shipped) Doing the math, I came to the conclusion that loading my own gold dots to 1250fps velocity would cost me about $135/case.:( And I get 1000 pieces of nickel brass(one-fired is ~ $21/1000 from midway) So I basically...

    Explosive decompression

    I'd be more interested in how long until the SR71 overtakes the bullet--assuming plane is flying in the same direction and gun is angled for appropriate trajectory. I think I'm gonna pop this one on my physics professor(who should make short work of it).:D

    Poll: Would you be opposed to a program such as this?

    I dont need any ????ing license to own a weapon or should I feel the need(which I currently do not) carry it concealed/open. Should it become illegal to carry open, and I feel a need for a weapon/pistol, I will merely carry clandestinely. You cannot regulate a primeval right. There is...

    Preacherman ..... prisoner's gun attitudes?

    Preacherman: Have any of these 'professional criminals' hinted at the availability of fully automatic weapons on the 'black market'? Just how knowledgible about guns/reloading/explosives/fighting styles are these guys? Any with military training? Scary thought: said professional is...

    Midway replacement

    Shipping from midway(MO to KS) actually costs less than buying locally and paying sales tax, even on the heavier items, at least for me.:)

    Cheap 9mm +p+ 125-127grain practice ammo?

    What are you shooting them out of? If a glock.... I have heard of quite a few people shooting subgun ammo from them to mimic their +p+ carry load.... I wouldnt shoot the stuff out of my beretta or a sig. Stuff can be had for about $140/1200rd.

    Midway replacement

    Just wanted to say that midway customer service is pretty damn good. I bought one of their tumblers at a gunshow 4 years ago(is actually says midway, not frankford arsenal) and a few weeks ago one of the wires sheered out of the motor. I sent it back to them($9 s&h) an they replaced it with a...
