    Am I kidding myself thinking Winchester White Box .38 SPL 125gr +P is good for PP?

    I'd use it if I couldn't come up with a good hollow point.

    GP100 transfer bar rattles

    It's supposed to be that way. Shoot it alot and don't worry about things that don't matter. "Don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff."

    Ruger LCR Polymer Revolver

    It only holds 5 rounds. I want 6 or more.

    GP100 vs King Cobra

    I had a python for several years and hated it everytime I had to open it. Something un-natural about a "pull to open" system. My neglect until needed handgun is a KGP160 with night sights and compact grips. The Colt is an investment for the future.

    Whats the deal with Taurus

    You might want to offer a middle ground. I have several taurus wheel guns that function fine. Won't win target matches, but are absolutely reliable.

    Who Would Choose .357 Mag Over .45 ACP For Home Defense?

    How about the best of both Sorry if this is redundant, I only read the first 5 replies before posting. :what::evil: I would not use an auto for HD. One simple reason. Limp wrist jams. If everything goes to hell and I'm wounded, or if I'm down and my SO has to take over a firm grasp is not...

    What on earth is going on here?

    found the problem First let me say that I was expecting mid 700s based on published data. Here's what happened. A while back a fried of mine offered me some bullesye powder because he was tired of reloading. Sure, it was still sealed in it's container. Back pedal a couple of years. I...

    What on earth is going on here?

    No, not the same bullet, but that is a huge difference. Extrapolating the curve I could be around 6.3 grns before I get to the 840 fps that I need to make power factor for the Carolina Cup. Maybe I should try the TiteGroup. So much to do to develope a load. :scrutiny:

    What on earth is going on here?

    I'm reloading 45ACP with Bullseye. 4.5 grns under a 200grn rnfp from Grandmaster Bullets in Colorado. WLP primer. Shooting from a S&W 22-4 4 inch barrel revolver. first 6 rounds the average velocity was 612fps. :eek: SD was 26 ES was 46 for 6 rounds. Great SSR load but not much for ESR...

    How much have you spent on reloading since the election?

    About $500. I'll probably get another 15K bullets over the next few months. I cannot have them all come home at once.

    S&W 325 PD Failure to Fire

    Cmon Russ, what happened when you called S&W and told them about the problems? The one time I returned a revolver to S&W I had it back in 6 days and it was perfect. I have a 325NG that will FTF 1 out of 12 rounds. I thought that it was the RIMZ clips that I was using, but it still happens...

    S&W night guard's?

    I have a 325 NG. I bought it on Gunbroker. I've put a couple hundred rounds through it and carry it every day. I'm a big guy and can hide it well. I think its great. Someone likely worked on it before I got it. It had a light primer strike about 1 in 12 rounds. New main spring solved the...

    speedloaders??

    I'd like to see Safariland make a comp1 or comp2 speed loader for the 45AR guns. Right now only HKS does so I have to depend on gravity to load up.

    Gun debate: How am I doing?

    Treylis- I'll be 45 next month. I've seen my share of movies and been all around the internet. The Webster Collegiate Dictionary offers these definitions: Date: circa 1864 1 : the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement 2 : material...

    Gun debate: How am I doing?

    for what it's worth The pictures you posted in that venue seem provocative to me. And I find associating pornography, even when you spell it "pr0n", with firearms offensive. Think about the mind set, dirty pictures=guns. This is not the message that we should be sending or even eluding to...
