Hi Guys- I had a frustrating weekend out in the garage. New rifle, new single stage press, new dies, once fired brass, and no rush to get shooting as I am waiting for a scope to arrive. I am not new to rifle reloading. I am new to bolt action rifle reloading. My plan was to full length re...

Just a heads up for those in the market for a Hornady LNL AP press: There is a LNL Ammo Plant in the bargain cave at the Ft Worth Cabelas priced at $675 marked down from just under $1200. That's a solid bargain, I think! It was there as of about 11:45 today. Man I wish I could...

Hello- I am gathering components to start loading for a bolt action rifle that will be a target/range gun (338 Lapua) I have experience in loading for revolvers, semi-auto pistols and rifles, and lever guns, but this will be my first foray into bolt-action reloading. I am used to full...

Hi everyone- My father found the box and accessories pictured below while going through his deceased brother's belongings prior to selling his house. My uncle was a Chicago police officer during the 70's and 80's. The grips( stocks?) look brand new. Can you tell if they are from Colt or...

The purpose of this thread is to help those who are having problems priming on their LNL AP press. When I read about folks having these problems I feel lucky that I have escaped these problems for tens of thousands of rounds. I feel that if I could get together with someone who is having...

I was wondering if anyone can point me to this information. The data on the SAAMI web site is dated 1993 and does not include the S&W 500. I am not interested in loading to the SAAMI maximum, I just wanted to get a real answer. I have heard that the pressure was as high as 65,000 psi or...

Over the weekend I had a major failure of some of my light .357 reloads. I stuck three 158gr Hornady XTPs in a S&W 27-2 and one in a Dan Wesson 15. Both revolvers have 6" barrels. The loads were in .357 brass with CCI SPM primers as follows: -4.0gr Trailboss..This load worked great...

Hi- I had a horrible day at the range today. I managed to get three 158gr Hornady XTP bullets stuck in the barrel of my new to me S&W 27. This was the first time shooting a very light load that had worked great in my other, shorter barrel revolvers. I could not perceive a difference in...

Hi- For the first time, I am shipping a handgun that I sold to a FFL. I need to get a shipping price before shipping because the buyer is to pay. The revolver is in the factory plastic box, but I do not have a cardboard box that fits. Is there a better way to do this than just...

I was looking through the new Colt catalog which has historic Colt products mixed in with the new guns. On page 10 of the 2011 catalog, they picture a BP revolver with the heading "1847 Walker". The revolver shown has a latch on the end of its loading lever like a Dragoon. Is this correct...

I was trying out some loads for my S&W 500, 10.5", and noticed these marks on some of the targets: [/IMG] [/IMG] It looks like powder is swirling off of the bullet as it passes through the target. Details: -350gr Hornady XTP -42gr H110 -I was about 15 yards from the target...

Hi Guys- I just took home a new S&W 500 10.5" Performance Center revolver. I have wanted one of these for a long time. After the initial excitement wore off, I noticed a few minor issues with this revolver. The trigger stop looks to be a roll pin that has been ground off crudely so...

I am shooting one of the most common calibers (.45 Auto) in one of the most common guns (Glock 21) then using the most popular gun cleaners (Hoppes #9), but I am having the most uncommon difficulty in getting the barrel clean! I soak the bore with Hoppes and wet patches for an hour or so...

And we thought we had a problem with hogs in the US! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100819/ap_on_re_eu/eu_germany_radioactive_boars It was interesting to read that not only does the Government pay hunters for the radioactive hogs, but that it is common to sell the hogs for commercial...

Hi guys- I am working at pulling together what I need to cast bullets for 475 Linebaugh target rounds. The load is 9 gr Titegroup at about 875-900 fps in a BFR Revolver. This has worked well for me, but the 325gr bullets are expensive. Lee makes a two cavity mold (C475-325-RF) that...

I have been having a hard time finding grip screw hardware for homemade wooden grips for single action revolvers (Rugers and BFRs). I am looking for plain hardware sets consisting of the two ferrules and the screw. My online searches have turned up lots of fancy (and expensive) hardware...

I was just at a Cabelas to browse at the cap and ball revolvers. One revolver did not have a tag. I am planning on buying a Walker replica, and I thought that this revolver was one, and asked the sales guy "what is the price on this Walker?" He could not find a tag or a box. Finally, he...

I just called Hornady to buy an expander that I broke, and some misc parts like two decapping pins and a shellplate spring. I had my credit card ready to pay for these small parts and the shipping. I told the lady who answered that I broke the expander by abusing it and that it was not a...

I just received an older marlin 30-30 lever action model 30AS. There is a tiny amount of play between the barrel and the reciever. That is, if you try to twist the fore stock while holding the receiver, a small amount of wiggle is detectable. You have to really look closely and feel for...
