my neighbor has a desert eagle in .357 mag. it has no feeding issues. but, it is a very high end handgun. i have heard that the rimmed case is an issue in feeding. i have wondered why the .22 fire auto seldom have feeding issues.

i use a cookie sheet with waxed paper, for easier cleanup. i spray with one shot and shake the pan a bit and spray again. i then do something else for a few minutes to allow the one shot to dry. i spray all bottleneck cases and the larger pistol cases like .44 mag. and .45 acp. i use...

another hint.....buy a small, cheap fan to blow the fumes and smoke away from you. you can use the fan to blow on the melting pot, or set it so it will suck the smoke and fumes away from the pot.

oh, i forgot, i use crayons to flux. buy the cheap ones at the dollar store. or do like a friend, buy a few boxes of new crayons and trade 'em for all the crayon bits and pieces at his churche's nursury. he is a hero, the kids love it, and he still gets his crayons for fluxin'. just break...

GP100man you speaketh the truth. DO NOT USE AN ALUMINUM POT OR PAN TO CAST WITH!!!!

back in the eighties there was a rash of similar incidents. it happened so often that NRA's wayne la pierre popped off, calling SWAT cops "jack booted thugs." if memory serves, he was referring to the SWAT boots and helmets that look very similar to the WWII era german helmets. wayne's...

i would like to see a story about an amature pistol competetor, maybe IDPA. he also has a CCW. he is on the way to a match, travelling through hostile/lawless area, and he has to defend his family and himself. even though he is way outnumbered, his superior training and skills allows him to...

nicely done!!! andi second the motion for you to post pics after you get all your reloading tools mounted.

chip mccormick is near austin.

i agree, mcbrides is a great gunstore. they have a large inventory, so a quick question. are there there some sort of BATF laws that requires guns to be secured in some form or fashion. i was a kitchen tabletop gun dealer back in the '70s and i was supposed to keep inventory locked up...

i have the same problem. i have plenty of ammo, and my own range just behind the house. main issue is time. i work too much, and when i do get a day off, the wind is blowing like nuts. or, if the wind is not blowing, i need to mow (two acres), or work on the house or car or Blazer, or truck...

that's the best one i have seen yet!!! WTG!!

i have the 9MM carbine. great little gun. i bolted a cheapo red dot scope to it. it is quick, accurate, and loads of fun. it has never failed with quality ammo. it even likes my 125 gr cast reloads. i like to run 'drills' with say five different targets, two shots per target, timing...

brasskeeper i am worried 'bout that, too. i wonder what the EPA will do when they find out i have over 15 years worth of lead bullets in my berm on my personal shootin' range. prolly several thosand pounds of the stuff.
