    How often do you practice with your CCW gun that you carry the most?

    I go shooting about once every other month. I shoot my pocket gun, a ruger lcpII, every time I go. I shoot either the g19 or the g30 every time, also. my dry fire practice is nearly non-existent. So far, I can still hit stuff with all my handguns. murf

    Backpacking with a Firearm

    I hike a five mile trail twice a week. In addition to a ten pound water pack, i carry an lcpII and two extra mags in my front pockets (load is 68 grain xds (20 oz. total weight)). with all the other stuff (wallet, keys, knife, lighter) in those pockets, I wear suspenders to keep my pants up...

    S&B .38 Special, tight primer pockets

    had a lot of a usa cases in the 38 spl pile i just got done uniforming. Quite a few had tight pockets that grabbed the uniforming tool and torqued it sideways sticking it in the pocket. I had to treat those like I was tapping a hole: run the tool in a bit, back it out to clean the chips...

    S&B .38 Special, tight primer pockets

    also use 5.0 grains with the 230 gn lrn in my g30. One can only has about 1000 grains left, but I still agree with you. murf

    S&B .38 Special, tight primer pockets

    What a coincidence! I am right in the middle of processing a bunch of 38 spl brass. I don't discriminate and run a uniformer through all pockets: That should solve the problem. And, as one poster has mentioned, it is a one-and-done proposition. I also trim all to min length (done...

    S&W Model 28-2 #22XXXX with a 6" Barrel - shaving lead

    Sounds like a Lewis lead remover would be useful here. Lead and high pressure are a lethal combination for a forcing cone. luck, murf

    For those that seat/crimp separately, do you then re-seat?

    no, but I bet if you trim your cases all to the same length, your "problem" goes away. Cudos for using a separate crimp die, murf

    Pinned Barrels, yes or no

    it would be interesting to find out if the rechamber job included a recess. murf

    Pinned Barrels, yes or no

    and the mystery of the recessed chambers continues. murf

    Pinned Barrels, yes or no

    here is a 38-44 heavy duty cylinder with a smooth rear end: I can't imagine s&w worrying about a handloader shooting a 38-44 pressure load using balloon head cases. On the other hand, loading a 38 special balloon head case to 357 magnum pressure levels and firing in a 357 magnum chambered...
