    .45 ACP and Titegroup

    Gryffydd and all, Yes, I understand that 4.8 grains is listed as the max load. I have used this load for a few years with no ill effects. No signs of excess pressure or anything and it works well for me. But I appreciate your drawing attention to this fact in the interest of safety. I am...

    Electronic Scales - Needed?

    I came close to getting a digital and I backed out at the last minute. Got an RCBS 1010. I was turned off by some of the stories having to do with interference and leveling issues that I had heard of with the digitals. May be anecdotal stuff but the balance beam scale route just seemed to be...

    Reloading area, shop or house ?

    There isn't any space in our house to put the bench inside so it is out in the garage. I keep my powder in the bedroom closet and the primers on the top shelf of the linen closet. I have a single stage press and weigh all charges. I prime and do the powder handling inside the house with...

    .45 ACP and Titegroup

    I bought some bulk 230 FMJ (not plated) bullets for my .45 ACP the other day. I just noticed that they are .452 diameter instead of .451. I have used 4.8 grains of Titegroup with the .451 230 gr FMJs for a while. Do I need to adjust my charge weight at all due to the diameter difference or do...

    H&R Topper Jr. 28 ga.

    My first gun ever, an H&R Topper Jr. 28 gauge that was given to me on my 11th birthday, needs some work. No, I don't pull it out to hunt with anymore but I have kept it around for sentimental reasons. It still looks new. Here's the problem, then firing pin won't strike the primer when...

    bedding areas

    A wise old man once told me to leave the bedding areas alone. Therefore, I have always done just that. We have good deer every year on our place. Even if I wanted to still hunt the bedding area though, I don't think that I would be able to get back in there very far as it is too thick which...

    My 1st buck....

    Well, you got your deer and he never suffered. A head shot on a deer isn't really standard practice but it isn't the first that I have heard of it happening. I always try a shoulder shot. Gives the the biggest area to do damage and get a humane kill. Some would say to avoid the shoulder due...
