Hi, I shoot trap weekly with a Beretta A390 Silver Mallard. I have used a TS shellcatcher for years, the TS-AL2 model. Recently the shellcatcher has been popping off the gun at times, and I found that part of the plastic coating on the shellcatcher has chipped off so I don't think it is getting...

I think that is what I am running into. I measured the diameter and they are within spec so I am not dealing with an oversize bullet issue. I think I will drop the COAL to the 1.035 and start low. Any other input is appreciated!

Hi, I recently picked up a Glock 37 (45 GAP) and have been working up some loads for it. I've got a couple different bullet options in 185gr and I picked up a box of plated 200gr Berry's Target Hollow Point bullets to try as a 200gr option. I settled on a COAL of 1.070 based upon available load...

I recently purchased a Pietta 1858 Remington New Model Army Target. I have experience shooting and hunting with in-line muzzleloaders but this is my first venture into black powder handguns. I ordered a package of Ox-Yoke Wonder Wads that are supposed to be pre-lubed to go between the powder and...

I've recently decided to try and speed up my brass trimming routine. I have an RCBS Trim-Pro 2 and I use a 12volt drill on a power adaptor to turn it. I recently stripped out the RCBS power drill adaptor and saw that DaCam Reloading out of MA makes their own "power pod" power unit on rails to...

Nope, it's a recent production blued convertible model. No internal lock and not one of the special flat top models. It's the standard new model style Blackhawk.

I recently purchased a New Model Blackhawk .45Colt/45ACP switch cylinder. My other Blackhawks have come with wood grips installed but this one unfortunately was only available with the black plastic Ruger grips. I am trying to find Ruger wood grips for this one but Ruger customer service has...

I recently picked up the RCBS bench priming tool and have been happy with it. I flip-flopped for a while over whether it was worth it over the hand priming tool that I already had, but I'm glad I picked it up now. It is much more convenient and the quality good. I don't mind the process of...

I started out with the RCBS kit mounted on my press but now I use the Dillon Super Swage 600. It was a little pricey but works great and is faster.

This one is definitely stamped 3" and 3" shells drop in no problem. Looks like the goose guns were made into the 80's according to some online sources. I suppose I'll stick to 2 3/4" shells if I can't come up with a solution.

I recently purchased a Marlin Model 55 Goose Gun in 12 gauge. It has a 3" chamber and has been converted into a slug gun with front and rear sights added and the barrel shortened somewhat from the original 36". I fired it today for the first time and found that with all 3" shells (factory...

Hi, I recently purchased a 250 count loose packed bag of 5.56 tracers from Midsouth. They are labelled M856 and are certainly tracers, but they don't have an orange tip like I am accustomed to finding with this bullet. There is no indication at all that they are tracers besides the bullet...

I have had a hard time as well. I usually find them every so often in stock at my local Cabelas. I don't see them online much at all. The cabelas near me has been stocked on .308 core-lokt 150 and 180 grain pretty steadily lately.

Thanks for the help. My .50 does have the relief section to help get them started. The LHR did not. I will measure them ASAP and see what I get.

Hi, I am an experienced shooter just getting into shooting muzzleloaders more frequently. I have a .50 and .54 caliber T/C inlines. Both guns are a number of years old but barely used and are like-new. I recently purchased a box of T/C .50 caliber 320 grain MaxiBalls. The packaging states...
