    New EAA Witness .45 blued

    Greetings Everyone, Just picked up an EAA Witness .45 steel blued at Buds for a great price. Knowing the service issues with EAA I paid $18 for the Buds lifetine fix or replace warranty (including shipping) just to be sure. Out of the box and cleaned, I was very pleased; decent 3 dot sights...

    Hearing protection question.

    I need some advice.... Generally I use standard muff type ear protection when shooting. Sometimes when shooting my .22 I use the small foam inserts. Occasionally, like when shooting full load .357 or .44 mag I use both. But here's my problem. I like shooting my vintage milsurp rifles 3...

    Problem with 7.62 x 54r reloads

    What is going on? I recently reloaded some 7.62 x 54r for target work with my MN. I was using winchester brass, standard large rifle primers and Hornady .3105" 174 gr FMJ/BT. I don't remember the exact dimensions of the bore when I slugged it several years ago, but as I recall it was...

    EAA Bounty Hunter .44 mag report

    EAA Bounty Hunter in .44 mag?

    Just wondering.... Has anyone seen, fired, or owned an EAA Bounty Hunter (especially the .44mag model.) These look pretty interesting to me and the price is very nice. And yes, I know about EAA's customer service rep, but all that aside, what do you think. My understanding is that they are...

    EAA Witness P Full Size 9mm 4.5" Polymer Question

    Greetings everyone! I just ordered an EAA Witness P Full Size 9mm 4.5" Polymer 16+1 from Buds. I like the way the gun feels and I definitely liked the price. It will be a range gun for me. I'd like to replace the recoil spring to help avoid the dreaded "cracked slide", but I don't know...

    .357 158 grain SWC with Bullseye

    What do you guys think, Recently picked up some 158 grain Cast SWC .357 bullets to load for my Dan Wesson 15-2 .357 mag. I have plenty of Bullseye on hand. Lee Modern Reloading says that for the 158 grain lead bullets, use between 5.9 - 6.5 grains of Bullseye. I thought I would start at...

    New Witness or Pre-B CZ

    OK Folks:what:, I know it's been asked before, but please help. I have a chance to buy a used pre-b CZ-75 for around $320, or a new EAA Witness for around $350. I like the EAA for it's ability to change calibers and Novac style sight. I like the CZ for it's history and reliability. Gun...

    Cracked necks in 6.5 x 55 brass.

    :uhoh: I need some help from you more experienced reloaders. I've recently started reloading for my "new to me" Swedish 6.5 x 55 model 96. She seems to shoot well with my reloads and I'm getting pretty good groups (a few 5 shot groups under 1" from 60 yards with open sights and my aging...

    Powder dippers?

    Quick question..... Do any of you guys prefer to use powder dippers over powder measures. I'm finding that as long as I don't "scoop" the dipper through the powder (as opposed to dipping), I get very accurate loads ( +/- .2 grains). Reloading is total relaxation for me so I'm not worried...

    Red dot and 6.5 x 55?

    Let me say from the start that I'm pretty new to reloading. I started out with Classic Lee Loaders over the years and have recently picked up a Lee Anniversary Kit with single stage press. I Like the single stage; seems to work for me and I like the added safety of working on one round at a...

    Lee safety powder scale?

    Is there a problem with my scale or is it just me?:banghead: Just purchased a new Lee safety powder scale. I'm frustrated because it seems very difficult to get an accurate reading. Getting to zero took quite a while, and now everytime I measure a load I have to re-zero the scale. What's...

    9mm Lee Loader & OAL

    I recently picked up a classic lee loader in 9mm, hoping to make some reasonably price ammo to shoot in a P89. I found that besides the cost of the kit and a few accessories, I am able to turn out 9's (cast 125 grain bullets) at about $.14 - .16 a piece. That's a lot cheaper then most of the...

    Ruger 89 rattles.

    Today I was looking at two P89's at a local pawn shop. One of them seemed to rattle quite a bit. Grip needed tightened as well. Not sure what it was, but I assume it was slop in the slide? Otherwise the gun looked to be in good shape. The guy at the shop said that was normal for P89's. Was...

    Most Accurate....?

    Need Your Advice.... I'm thinking of a 9mm to use mostly for range work, so accuracy is my biggest consideration. I'll probably be shooting 50' and 25yards. Problem is I can't go over $500 and preferably not over $400. And please don't say save a little more, because 4 or five is already a...
