    Mid range 357 loads

    I'm using 4.5gr of Bullseye with Missouri hard cast 158gr SWC's in 357 cases. That puts me at a +P load in my 4" M-19. I've also had good luck with Dardas 148gr wadcutters over 6.0gr of Unique in the same cases.

    Just caught what could have been an unpleasant surprise

    Wow. The worst I've done is bend a decapper rod on a pebble in a .38 case.

    Dardas cast boolets

    No problems using Dardas bullets. One of the most accurate loads in my M-19 is using Dardas H&G 148gr wadcutters.

    I need shooters help! Which gun to buy? All steel vs. polymer.

    I never thought I'd give up my M19-4 wheelgun, but for fun shooting I have a 1911 with a 22 conversion kit on it.

    Chainsaw Chain And Sprocket Lube

    Chainsaw bar oil is whatever comes through the pipeline that's in the transition zone. Add a tackifier and you have bar lube. So you really don't know what's in the oil.

    Thompson Contenders Anyone Still Use Them

    My old Contender sports a custom walnut stock set from Tony's. Barrels are a 357 Herrett and 218 Bee, both 14" bull. Optics are glass on the Bee and reflex on the Herrett. I use a Lyman "M" die to flare the Herrett and use hard cast 158g SWC's for practice. Deer loads are 180gr Hornady's. The...

    shells stuck in magazine tube

    Factory ammo, or reloads? I have an Ithaca M37 that has an undersized section in the magazine tube near the receiver. Factory shells function OK but reloads with the head diameter approaching max spec causes them to stick.

    Favorite pistol

    Tough one, but I still go back to my M19 Smith stoked with +P loads. 2nd place goes to my Springfield with a Nelson 22 conversion on it.

    41 years ago today ...

    I just hit my 40th, issued 2/27/76 at the tender age of 23 (because I couldn't get my butt in gear to get it at 21.)

    When they say use dryer sheets do they mean new dryer sheets?

    Rumor has it the NuFinish is a polymer and prevents oxidation on the tumbled brass.

    RCBS Wins Again

    I broke the priming arm off my Rockchucker (don't ask.) I emailed RCBS asking if I could buy a new arm without the primer tubes. They mailed me a new primer arm gratis.

    Am I doing this wrong? -sizing pistol brass

    I'm not home to look, but..... IIRR (and I may be wrong) older RCBS dies all came in green boxes. Carbide die sets had a yellow label and non-carbide sets had a white label.

    S&w m&p .40 vs cz p09 .40

    After looking at and handling a lot of small handguns I settled on the Shield .40, mostly because it fit my hand best and pointed easily. I figure I'll run a few hundred round through it first then decide if I'll put a trigger kit in it.

    Could use some advice on selecting a 22 lr handgun

    I'm going to throw another option into the mix...... If the OP also wants a Springfield or other 1911, you can go with a 22/45 conversion kit. You shoot the same frame & same trigger, and the Nelson kit I have will shoot dime-sized groups at 25 yards (off the bench - no me!)

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Picked up a S&W Shield in .40 last night.
