Has anyone removed the extractor from an SR45? I have removed mine a couple of times, but it seems to take a lot of force to remove the pin. When putting it back together, you can push the pin in with your finger. Just curious if there is a trick to getting it out (the pin) so as not to damage...

I have been looking for a slug barrel for my 500A. The problem is that it has the extended magazine. I see plenty of barrels with both iron sights and cantilver mounts for the standard magazines, but none with magazine loop that fits around the extended magazine. The loop would have to be...

I bought a box of .308 150 gr Hornady GMX bullets today for my Savage chambered in .308 Win. It said right on the box to use load data for regular 150 gr bullets. I got home and proceeded to load the bullets with 44.5 gr of varget (which I use with the 150 gr Hornady interlocks) and felt that...

Has anybody loaded Mike's Mastercast (Carbondale IL) 240gr 44 cal lswc bullets for 44 mag using 10 gr of unique? I have read different start and max loads that vary greatly with lead bullets. I assume this is because of the difference in hardness (BHN) of the tested bullets. I'm looking for...

Could someone tell me the COL for a Hornady .308 Win with a Hornady 150 grain soft point/ boat tail? I'll be using Varget powder. I have a Speer manual, and Sierra Data, but could only find Hornady bullets. My Hornady friend is out of town right now (I give him Speer data - he provides...

I have a pound of Reloder-15 that I bought for my Marlin 30-30. Powder around here is pretty hard to come by right now. I have found some load data for it in the 308, but am sort of new at reloading rifle ammo. Will Reloder-15 be a pretty good powder in a 308 with a 150 gr jacketed bullet?

A friend gave me some once fired Remington & Winchester .44 mag brass. I usually load my heavy magnum loads in new cases, then relegate those cases (once fired) to plinking loads after shooting them once. Am I pushing the brass too hard if I load say 23.5gr of H-110 with a 240gr xtp into 2nd...

I have a Lee Classic Turret with Pro-disk powder measure. I noticed yesterday it was throwing 6.5gr of powder very consistantly. Today the powder is weighing 6.4 grains very consistantly. I beleive it is throwing the same volume of powder, but different humidity amounts are causing weight...

I need to know what size drill bit I should use to make a friend a loading block for .243 and a .270. I used a 1/2" for my 30-30 and .308, and it worked fine. Is 1/2" a good size for for .243, and .270? I don't reload those those calibers so I don't have a case to use as an example. Aren't .243...

I ordered from Midwest hunting Supply and it was shipped to my ffl dealer. I was nervous about paying for something online and not holding/checking it first. It is new, but looks like theey had fun w/ it at Ruger (or somewhere) as there is a light ring on every chamber at the front of the...

Is it ok to use a magnum primer with Trail Boss powder (240 fr lswc hard cast / 44 mag case)? I bought 1000 of the Federal magnum primers to use with H-110. Primers around here are getting hard to find. I load mostly .357 mag and asked Hodgdon about the mag primers in .357 and they said...

I'm thinking about getting a 4" Redhawk. I have a GP-100 and love it. I like the way the 4" Redhawk looks. Is muzzle flip a real problem? I reload, so I will probably work up a nice ~1000 fps lead load for plinking and a good stout load for back up while hunting.
