Well... This has been written, and re-written, so hopefully I can contribute at least another variation to the pile. It's deer scouting time again in south Louisiana, and Mr. no-shoulders is out and about. I was poking around the reloading bench, and decided to try my hand at some shot shell...

W231 Is my go-to powder for a few reasons. I like it; I shoot primarily 9mm in USPSA production division, and use 124 grain cast round nose from Missouri Bullet Co. There is little smoke, and no leading to speak of with either my LWD barrel or my factory polygonally rifled barrel. I notice...

I stumbled across an interesting rifle today, which I know very little about. The rifle appears to have been built by Newton Arms and was chambered in 22-3000 and had a double set trigger. The thing was beautiful and looks as if it were built on a Mauser action. The only markings on it were...

I'm fairly certain that I'm about to change to a 642 as my primary CCW method, rather than the G17 that doesn't carry on my 5'8" 135# frame very well. I'm really interested in the Comp-Tac Gurkha or Pro Undercover holsters, but I can't seem to find any good pictures anywhere (yes i've visited...

I came across an image of some swaged bullets that got me thinking...: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r55/kawalekm/Swaged44bullet.jpg I noticed that the bullets were made from 40 S&W brass, and was wondering how the similar metallurgical properties of the bullet and case would behave...

I was told during my CCW class to stay away from reloads, or any cartridge that is not generally accepted by law enforcement for self-defense. This is so that if the "why did you use that ammunition" question is ever asked, you are not labled as carrying "magnum" or "assault-type" ammunition...

I've decided to set up a bench at the house and would appreciate a little comparative oppinion. I can't decide on the Lee B.L. Challenger or the RCBS RS-5. I want a single-stage press that will not ever have to be replaced. I understand that these presses may not exactly be comaprable, but...
