    Chronograph recommendations?

    Either LR or Garmin is a wise choice. Expensive but well worth it. Especially, double especially, if you shoot at an indoor range or a public, multishooter outdoor one.

    .45 ACP Brass Primer Sorter

    When I had some 625 revolvers discovered I could put my index finger through the center hole of the clip and press the round in place with my thumb, using the other hand to “feed” the rounds. This proved easier and quicker then even using a BMT Mooner. De-mooning could be done with a knife...

    .45 ACP Brass Primer Sorter

    Thank you, Ed. Decided to go ahead. .16mm with 10% infill. Inland PLA+ It's blue cause that's my least used color and I had plenty on hand. Only have 7 empty brass on hand and one was SPP. What are the odds? Then I thunk. Why not make a spindle to hold my empty moon clips? Heck if...

    help picking a press

    I bought a single stage C press first because it was cheap and what I could afford. However there‘s really no advantage from a learning stand point especially with the LNL. Put in one die and treat it like a single stage. When you finish that process swap out dies, easy to do with LNL, and do...

    help picking a press

    With the Hornady you can easily put in only one die at a time and load just like a single stage press. Or put in all dies, but continue to only load one round at a time. Or just put in the sizer and expander, prime and powder off press, swap out the dies and seat on press. Or go full...

    How Many Extra Magazines Per Handgun?

    10 minimum. But depending on the gun this can get expensive, very expensive. Glock 17 rounders are available at $10ea at GSSF matches. If you’re a competitor it means less reloading during the match. The ultimate goal would not have to load mags during a match. And no I’m not quite there...

    I don't want a Sig P365. Tell me why I'm wrong or offer options.

    For many of the models there are rack assist rear plates. Adds to the profile but can be a big help.

    What reloading components have you overbought?

    I'm with 2ndtimer. They all have very long shelf life so no worries. Buy all you can afford and then some.

    H110 and mag.spp

    The some of the older manuals said a magnum primer was required. I've followed that advice and never regretted it. My favorite fireball is the one from my TC .357Max using a full power load of H110. What's unique about the picture is that the fireball is in the full sunlight and still quite...

    Help: ID this tool/die

    Looks like a seating die, but I can't see what's on the inside looking from the bottom up

    66-2, 686 (no dash) or 686 SSR Pro

    And you're not getting all three because?

    Thoughts on a 9mm Rifle for plinking and range use please

    I decided on the Ruger PC9 because of the plethora of aftermarket parts and that it takes Glock mags. First time out I classified B class in steel challenge iron sights with it. Keeper.

    Heading to the range today with what used to be "cheap" guns.

    I bought a Mosin Nagant for $90 not too many years ago. It was so cheap I cut it down to 18" barrel and sporterrize the stock. Even then someone bought it for $300 recently. The gun store owner told me he'd just sold a whole case to one customer who was going to put a plexiglass top on it...

    Well, Turn the lights off on Wa. State.

    Could this become, if the BATF was so inclined, a jurisdictional issue? Unless the laws apply to all business equally then the state has no authority to dictate how Federal licenses conduct their business.

    Light 9mm REVOLVER ONLY reloads?

    Perhaps I should have said, "slug your barrel." I guess I threw out the word bore as a generic word, sorry about that. However, I'd guess many (most?) of us will never slug the barrel be it the bore or the throat or... We can, which is what I did, experiment with different diameters and see...

    Light 9mm REVOLVER ONLY reloads?

    Many of the 9mm revolvers use moon clips so you can reload with a roll crimp if you like. Just understand that they probably will seat too far in the chamber in semi-autos or in revolvers without using moon clips. And it might be a good time to remind that SAMMI specs on 9mm Luger and...

    Light 9mm REVOLVER ONLY reloads?

    I haven't seen how low I can go with 9mm in my revolver yet. I'm only down to 3gr of TiteGroup under 147gr plated bullet. Actually in both PPC and Bullseye competition the rules do state exactly that. The bullet must pass all the way through the target and backer.

    Chicago Sues Glock

    "Easily" is subjective and would be impossible to draw the line. Imagine trying to codify this in a regulation? If this case is found for Chicago, then what semi-auto manufacturer couldn't be found liable even if there aren't any "switches" for their model. Any gun whose action is easy to...

    These cartridges would not fire.

    A Custom Master package obviously is backed up, while I think basic repair is a faster pipeline. Rebarreled a plain 686 last year and it took about 3 weeks door-to-door. Looking forward to hearing how it turned out aaaaa.

    What other hobbies occupy your loading bench?

    3D design and printing. Numerous things for reloading including a sieve for cleaning media and a holder for the primer counter on the reloader Microprocessors (Arduino) for the primer round counter and monitor. Now I don't do these things ON the reloading bench, but their end products are...
