Sam1911 pretty much said it right about PA. I have a CCW in NY state and wanted one for PA because my daughter and family moved to PA. Sent in an application, a copy of my permit, and the fee, and now I'm good to go (thanks for the info, Sam). Visited PA last month, did some target shooting...

I've been using 5.1 grains of Power Pistol with a 124 gr. Berry's JHP and Hornady 124 gr. JHP. For the 115 gr. Sierra, I've been loading 5.7 gr. of PP. Thinking about giving Bullseye a try next.

FLIGHT or FIGHT! Years ago, both were an option. Now, neither is. Living in this great paternalistic state with laws upon laws, I was lucky to live in a pro-gun county where my wife and I were issued unrestricted CC permits. We tend to see these permits as health insurance, and will not pull...

Congratulations on becoming a citizen of the USA. Most of us, here in the US, believe a man is based on his worth as a human being and not on his color or heritage. On what little I know about you, I think that you will be an asset to this country. On to guns..... as an earlier poster...

Ithaca 37 pump in 12 ga. and a Glock 26. Which one I would use would depend on the situation.

Joeq, you've got that right. I don't even like visiting NYC. I'm happy living in my pro-gun county in upstate NY.

To clarify Geckgo's comment about New York... New York City might be a problem, but the rest of the state has no problem buying ammo mailorder. I've had no problem buying ammo from Cabella's, Natchez SS, or even Cheaper then Dirt. Natchezss.com is one of my favorites. You might want to...

To be honest, I've never used anything but Lee dies so I can't judge the others. I'm happy using Lee and will continue unless the die isn't available.

Mine's in the basement. Very little dust but if it was worse, hello garage!

I've got a Glock 26. Besides adding tritium night sights, I added a cut-out piece of 3M tread tape, that I had in my workshop, to the right side of the grip for better "traction" on hot summer days. I didn't put one on the left side because that side of the pistol is against skin when I'm...

I use 5 grains of PP for my Glock 26 when loading a 124 grain FMJ. 5.2 will give you more horsepower, maybe more than you need. Try both loads and see what works the best.

suzukisam, I once had a OOB situation but didn't pull the trigger. It was due to the OAL of the cartridge being too long. Are you sure that the cartridge length was short enough for the ogive of the bullet and didn't cram into the rifling? That would cause some serious pressure buildup...

Yup, AWO, for a handgun, I love my Glock also. My Marlin 336C, chambered for a .35 Remington, is my favorite rifle, and my Ithaca 37 12ga is my favorite shotgun.

I have to agree with you, ZK.... the 30-06 will handle the big stuff, and the .223 will do a good job on the small stuff. For me, I'd pick a .308 because I'd never hunt the really big stuff, and, these days, I don't really want the kick from the '06. A .22 mag would be my choice for the second...

I recommend buying the manual from the bullet maker that you are using. My first was the Lee book. It's a good read and it served me well. I next bought the Hornady manual because I was reloading using Hornady bullets. Next, I purchased the Sierra manual because they have an excellent...
