    10mm hands down auto pistol, 44 or 41 mag in a revolver.

    10mm reloading opinions needed.

    800X is a very good 10mm powder,you may have to hand weigh ea charge because the large flakes measure poorly thru powder throwers. I have no data :uhoh: In the future try AA#7....Power Pistol......Blue Dot. I like 165gr. and 180 or 190's the lighter bullets can be driven at exceptionally...

    Bought a Sigma

    I am a 1911 diehard, I did break stride and shot my son's Sigma and found the trigger different from what I'm use to but once I mentally dialed in the pull and focus on "frontsite" the Sigma was'nt a bad shooter for the price,my eyesite has seen better day's and I was still able to put'em all...

    Oil or Brush First

    I'll settle on the factory or barrel mfg's finish as they know more about "surface texture" than I. I've read that a glass smooth finish on a bore is not the optimum finish on a gun barrel. JB bore cleaner uses flaxseed as their abrasive which is aggressive on fouling but not on barrel steel. I...

    .45 Hollowpoints

    I've never had a problem with ftf with any of my 3 Springfields with any bullet configuration common to 45acp., my Champ's are sometimes mag sensitive, the full length eat's anything and isn't picky about any mag it's fed from. I've used the most common jhp's I guess, that would be Gold Dots...

    Oil or Brush First

    My cleaning procedure involves removing the grip panels and soaking the frame'slide & barrel in parts cleaning solution, brush out the barrel with a 45cal. rifle brush (more scrubbing surface than short pistol brush) I clean from the breech end of the barrel and leave the muzzle end in the parts...

    1911 for CCW?

    I don't mind a full length 1911 the holsters they offer us these day's make carry preference a non-issue with the 1911 design. I have 2 SS Champions one tight (new) and one loooose (old) both are reliable and accuracy is excellent at defense ranges.

    .243 load advice

    you have a good bullet for the task at hand as the Hornady "interlock" is a darn good bullet in any caliber. You might want to try one of the 4350 - 4831 class of powders.

    357 nickel cases

    Nickel Plated cases the nickle plating makes for a much harder exterior which may damage your carbide ring if they are not free of abrasives ie; make sure they are clean. Nickle also has a tendancy to split around the case mouth ,although it's a slow gradual process that takes place over time...

    Dan Wesson 10mm Razorback

    any pro's and con's,as to the Razorback and or the 10mm cartridge ? I will be using it for close and longer range, 50yds., targets and don't mind carrying a 5" for self defense. Does this partictular frame have a "Beefed up" design due to the increased pressures of the 10mm ? I love my 1911's in...

    Anyone go light (75-90 grains) in .25-'06

    I have the 257 IMP and the 250 Sav IMP and a std Roberts all w/ 1-10 twist and they shoot 100-120's ...1/2" or better. Ballistic Tip's generally do well. If your rifle is a bolt action I would think it should do better than your results indicate, maybe a mechanical problem in the rifle, stock or...

    30-06 model 721 ammo

    I've owned 3 ...721's in 06 in the past and I would never attempt a shot past 300yds. They are good guns and with a custom barrel and properly bedded stock will shoot with the best. I never was able to find a load I ever felt confident with to justify carring a factory barreled 721 in the...

    Help with .45acp golden sabers

    I have recently laoded Golden Sabres in 3 of my Springfields, the following method of seating depth worked for me since I had no reference to start with either. Start by seating the bullets long and continue to reduce the OAL until they just fit the magazine and seat in the chamber, allowng...

    45 ACP defence rounds?

    I stand to be corrected on this but I beleive the Gold dot is the same bullet that was previously loade in the "Lawman" series of ammunition. That .45cal 200gr., bullet is excellent. The expansion with adaquate velocities is 1" or better... :what:

    2" group

    My SA Champions will do 2"@25yds., with any bullet I load them with, but only if shot off a rest. Offhand I'd probably expect groups in the 6" range. My eyes are wornout :scrutiny:
