    Short barrels and reloading

    I am wondering if it's wise or not to use slower burning powders (I'm thinking of Unique in particular) with small pocket pistols such as the Ruger LCP Max? A Sierra manual (5th Edition) lists Unique as an accurate load using a Walther PPK with barrel length of 3 1/4". I am not questioning the...

    I'm ready to apply for the Illinois CCL. I have a passport photo scanned in as a pdf. I don't seem to be able to save it as a jpg. Does anyone know offhand if a pdf photo is acceptable? Thanks.

    Brass Exchange?

    Anyone having problems with The Brass Exchange? I've ordered from them in the past without any problems. But on March 6th, I ordered some 380 auto brass that was apparently in stock. I asked for an update about a month later and then again a couple days ago. No reply from them. I know their...

    Titanium nitride dies?

    Can I get your thoughts on titanium nitride dies? Especially pistol dies like 9mm or 380 Auto? Should lube be used? Thanks.

    Bullet length and case neck splitting

    Hello again. I have a 6.5x57 Mauser bolt rifle that I only occasionally shoot. I had been handloading for it some years ago. I was successfully shooting 140 grain Sierra Match King #1470 using 33 gr. of IMR4064, OAL of 3.06" with no problems. Then I thought, why use a heavy more expensive bullet...

    Rifle stock spot refinish question

    I dripped a little bore cleaner on a wood rifle stock and it removed a bit of the surface finish. Is there a way I can restore the finish? I can send a picture if that would help. Thanks.

    30-30 brass trim to length...

    Hello all. I have a large bag of 30-30 brass that I bought at a local gun show quite awhile ago. I'd like to reload them, but they have been trimmed down to on average about 2.021". Some are right around 2.025". I have several reloading manuals and they vary a little in trim to length as listed...

    Velocity and accuracy?

    I'm not sure if this is the right group or not. But as regards handloading, especially 9mm, is there a correlation between velocity and accuracy generally speaking for any given bullet weight? Is a faster muzzle velocity more accurate that a slower muzzle velocity? Thanks.

    Cleaning inside of a pistol barrel question

    Does anyone have pictures of the inside of a nice clean pistol barrel? Maybe compared to a barrel that is very nearly clean but not quite? When I'm looking down the barrel at the start of cleaning, I can see what appears to be little bumps in the grooves here and there even after I have used a...

    Berry's 9mm 115 gr flat point data?

    I've searched here and on Google and wondered if anyone has worked up data on reloading Berry's 115 gr flat point for 9MM? Their COL is 1.06" per Berry's. Most people seem to suggest using data for lead, which is fine, but I would like to see some loads others have developed. Thanks.

    72 hour wait question for Illinois

    I have a question about the 72 hour wait period here in Illinois. When does it start? I have had a pickup date changed twice on me by a dealer. I ordered a handgun through Gallery Of Guns on 1/20 and paid the deposit. It arrived at the dealer on 1/25. They called me on 1/26 to say it had arrived...

    Hornady 9MM 147 gr bullets

    I have a few hundred Hornady 35597B (147 Gr) bullets that I want to use in a Taurus PT 92 AFS pistol. These are FMJ RN. I seated one bullet in a dummy round (unprimed case without powder) to the recommended 1.165" oal and it doesn't pass the plunk test. Can I seat them any deeper or am I just...

    Question about bullet seating with Speer 4211

    I have 50 Speer bullets, #4211. They are copper jacketed, but have a lead hollow point. When I seat the bullet, the lead is pushed slightly inward toward center and ends up having a smaller hole. The seater is probably shaped to deal with a round nose bullet and so is forming them to that shape...

    SR40c concealed carry holster recommendations?

    I think it's time to get my concealed carry license. But I need to get a holster first. Any recommendations for one that will fit with a Ruger SR40c? Prefer outside the belt. Thanks.

    MBC Smallball?

    I am having trouble cycling MBC smallball through my Taurus PT92AFS. They don't seem to chamber all the way so it causes the PT92 to lockup. The COAL is 1.125". I think that the reloads are just a bit too large in diameter. I noticed some size differences. The outside diameter of the reloads is...

    Removing very small roll pin

    What should be used to remove a very small roll pin? I want to change the locking block on a PT92 AFS to the latest gen but also need to replace the pin that engages into the slot on the block. The pin is held in place with a tiny roll pin so I'm wondering how to push it out. The smallest...
