Almost forgot--- tried 231 (HP38) also. Bullseye was best in 9mm, but BE-86 worked very well too. I like 231 for 45ACP.

I tried both BE-86 and Bullseye. To my surprise, Bullseye was the most accurate. Most people like Bullseye for 45ACP, but it never worked well for me in that caliber. But in 9mm it's been the best. I have no explanation why it seemed to work well for me in one caliber but not another, but...

This is in reply to dh1633pm regarding "What to know" about Lugers. While I don't pretend to be an expert, Some years back I acquired a WWII 1940 Mauser 9mm which I was determined to shoot. At first it seemed pretty unreliable, so I embarked on an extensive project to find out how best to make...

Back in the '70's I bought a brand-new Bauer .25 Auto (a baby Browning clone, I guess). New gun, with new factory magazines, shooting either Winchester or Remington ammo. That POS could not ever get through a SINGLE mag without a stoppage! Worst gun I have ever owned, and one of only two guns...

>I agree. Since I’m using 800X to load ~1000 10MM I moved the powder dumper/scale closer to my progressive press. Normally it sits by my single stage press for rifle loading but I wanted to maximize my access to it and I skipped a step by mistake.< Wait.... what? You're joking!!! You're...

I am shocked to hear people say the Bauer 25 is "reliable and fun" or "never had any trouble with it"! I bought a new Bauer 25 in 1977, and in more than forty years of firearms experience (including a few fussbudgets such as the P08 Luger), the Bauer is the WORST piece of junk I have ever had...

As an original owner of a Bren Ten (Special Forces model), I certainly understand your dilemma. To make matters even more difficult, the Bren Ten is a delightful shooter, reliable, accurate, and with the sweetest DA/SA trigger ever put in a handgun (Sig and Beretta are good, just not as good)...

I own one of these Mitchell Arms stainless P08's, as well as a genuine 1940 Nazi Mauser version. There is a wealth of MISinformation on line about the Mitchell guns. First, they were NOT made by Mitchell's Mausers, the company that sells the refurbished Nazi items. Many people claim that...

Hello all! Like many here, I am a new reloader, though I'm a longtime shooter. I'm proud to say that, in the past 18 months, I've successfully loaded and shot about 1500 rounds without a squib or a misfire, and with a chronograph have developed several satisfactory loads for 10mm, .45acp and...

Hello everyone. New member here from Southern California (yeah, I know). I'm a longtime shooter, but finally got around to using those reloading books I started buying back in the 80's! That's right--- another new reloader (sorry about that powder shortage, it wasn't all me). Looking forward...
