Yes. Daughter uses it for CAS matches and I carry it in my 44 Special. Really nice round.

I just purchased a RIA in 38 Super. With the proper load, it comes close to .357 Magnum specs in an autoloading handgun. Using a 124 gr HP moving at 1275 fps, there is minimal felt recoil, little muzzle flip & is very accurate. I think this is one cartridge that has gotten overlooked due to the...

1. Not have sold two guns 2. Gotten a S&W 625 3. Moved to 38 Super sooner

I have a Dillon 550 press & I will be the first to say their priming system can be a PITA. You can only get 100 primers in the tube, the primers can get stuck in the release so that no primer drops in the cup, etc., etc.,etc. I finally got feed up with having to stop during a loading session to...

See my post about my RIA at http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=377608

Now I understand why everyone considers the 38 Super a tack driver. I loaded up the brass I received with 124 gr bullets & 700-x powder, I chronographed the load at 1150 fps wifh a SD of 9.1. So I loaded up 200 rds & took them to the range. First off, I have to say I shot all 200 rds. &...

I reload & have reduced my loads significantly. I have a lot of nerve damage to my neck & shoulders & the problem usually shows up about half way through a string of nine rds. The price I quoted was for the barrel, extractor, ejector, etc. I didn't know I would also have to replace the slide...

Until about 6 months ago, I could do it with my 1911. Not all that hard after you have fired a few thousand rounds.

Moderators, if I've put this in the wrong place, please move it, I am writing this to seek advice from members of this forum, I have reached a point where my back injury will not allow me to shoot my full size 1911 in 45acp without experiencing a considerable amount of pain. I have gotten to...

A 1911 in 38 Super & an AR 15

Since I'm retired, I wouldn't mind reloading for the various departments in my county without pay. They supply the components & I give them my time. I've been re loading for quite a while & everyone wha has shot my loads have given me favorable reviews. For me, I would feel as if I was giving...

LEO's run out of ammo? This story concerns the county I live in. I have a friend who is on the police force in a neighboring county & several months ago I loaded some practice ammo for him to get ready far his yearly qualification...

For my 44 reloads, I prefer the Berry 240gr HP bullets. They have very good expansion using 5gr of IMR 700-X (they clock at about 750 fps). I'Ve also used the 200 gr HP in my 45; they seem to feed better than the Rainier HP's. Graf:s carries the entire line of Berry:s bullets and they pay the...
