Oh my goodness. I thought those screws were just to hold the blade on. It was all the way down and I can probably raise it 1/8-inch, but it won't need that much. This will work an I will stay with Trailboss. Can't wait to get to the range and zero this thing. Thanks.

Yes with a pistol, slower is higher. I started out with 7 grains of TB, and the POI got higher with an increase up to the max. Listed charge of 9.0, and it is still lower than POA.

I have some H322 that I could try down loading a bit. At published loads it's too fast for lead.

Lot of good reading there, thanks. Some of that mentioned red dot but no maximum charge data or velocity. I traded off my Unique because it is so flakey it gave me erratic charge weights with my setup. I probably won't find any Unique again anyway.

I am looking for a light recoil load that will shoot on the sights at 50 yards. I have Trailboss, Bullseye, and some 231. I have 170 grain Missouri Whitetail No. 1 lead bullets. 9 grains of Trailboss shoots a couple of inches low with the sights all the way up. That load is listed at 1100...

OK Close this thread. I read on shotgun blog about the bolt release on the bolt. I found that and it worked. I guess the only problem I had was a bunch of crud under the bolt release lever that was keeping it from being pressed all the way in. A good cleaning might be what I need.

I have this old Winchester Model 12 shotgun that I use for some shooting games and it has been remarkably smooth and reliable, until today. After chambering and firing a round, the bolt stuck closed. This happened a few times and I was able to depress the bolt release button and eject with...

Remington No. 6 Rolling Block Rifle .22 short, long, and long rifle passed down from grandfather to father to me. I will give it to my son some day. It has been shot countless times and is very accurate. First gun many family members ever shot. Finish has turned to a brown patina and the...

After 3000 rounds with no issues, I had 2 misfeeds in one day. The slide jammed back with a bullet laying loose on top of the magazine, chamber empty. I had to shake the gun around to get that loose bullet out, but then re-chambered and went on. Same ammo, clean gun, etc. Looks like a...

The casings are too long for the auto indexing rod to work. I use a little spray lube and don't wipe them off till they are loaded. Just put that seating die down hand-tight with the 0-ring or maybe a quarter turn more. You want it to float just a bit to make sure the bullet goes in real...

Can you recommend a gunsmith in the Louisville (ST. Matthews hopefully) area that can replace the magazine release button on a CZ 75 Kadet pistol? I have the replacement release button and have broken 2 screwdrivers the screw that holds it in. The screw is still perfect, just the screwdrivers...

I bought an auto ordnance receiver at a pawn shop and put a tactical solutions 2211 upper on it. It is my best shooting 22 and that receiver has the best trigger of any of my 1911's. I can't comment on the upper, but the lower is first rate IMO. I do believe that the reason this lower was for...

I know people who shoot them. They seem reliable and accurate, heavy and ugly. Uglier than a Glock, if you can imagine that.

I don't own one, but a fellow I shoot with owns a 40 caliber. It is accurate and reliable. Clunky and heavy and ugly, though.

Nice job. I am a CZ fan also. You made a great gun even better. Make me one.
