The other day I was scavenging cases from my range and I found this 9mm when I was separating them at home. Is this what maybe happens when someone shoots a 9mm in say a 40 S&W gun? I couldn't think of any other scenario that could cause this. If I'm right there is some really goofy people out...

I recently bought this bullet and just my luck it isn't in my Sierra 5th Edition manual. Does anyone have load data for this one. It must be new since I can't find it in the manual. The closest I can find is in my Hornady book for a 130 g. SP. I tried looking for it in different 30 cal guns but...

My Marlin 1895 GBL won't chamber the Jae-Bok Young's 550 g. Craters I just purchased. I think it has something to do with o-give of this round. I can't fully close the lever with these rounds. I haven't found much info on what the OAL should be. When I crimp on the cannulure it comes out to...

I can't find recipes for 500g. to 550g. bullets in any of my reload books for a Marlin 1895. I know it can be done because I have read about them. I don't want any "shoulder busting" recipes, just something with mid to low recoil strength. Thx

I am about to start reloading 45-70 with my Lee Classic Turret and was wondering if I should get the Factory Crimp Die or not. Nearly all my die sets have the FCD but is it more or less necessary for this caliber? I ordered the 3 die steel set #90561 that includes the seater/crimp die. I'm a bit...

I have noticed what may be a problem with my press. When I lower the arm to charge the case I noticed that the hopper does not appear to move fully over the drop hole. When I take the hopper off the powder measure and just place a disc on the powder measure I noticed when I lower the arm that...

Has anyone made a similar load that Buffalo Bore makes with its .44 Mag +P+ 340 gr. LFN? I just bought some on-line for $37.00 a box of 20.:eek: I realize it would probably be bad for any .44 mag to give a steady diet of this stuff but I sure would like to make my own and save a bunch of money...

I'm looking for powders that give off a lot of flash. Mostly for pistol powders. I know Blue Dot does because when I use it for my 10MM Glock it is really pronounced. But does anyone know of powders that are even better for high muzzle flash?

The other day I purchased some .44mag 300g. TCFP Sillouette bullets from Missouri Bullet Company. My problem is I can't seem to find any specific reload recipes for it. I have a lot of reload books but nothing with this type of bullet. Does anyone have reload data I can use for it. I have 2400...

Last week I purchased my first revolver(Taurus Raging Bull .44 Mag) and went to the range with some factory loads and some reloads I made for it. Well the factory load cases ejected just fine but for some reason a few of my reloads got stuck in the cylinder and were difficult to remove. The...

Any opinions on these bullets? Was interested in the 125g 9mm and 230g 45 ACP. Can they be loaded with mild FMJ data? They advertize up to 2,000 FPS velocities with no leading or copper fouling. I would guess the only way to reach that velocity would be with FMJ data. Sure look different with...

My 10mm seater die is driving me nuts.:banghead: It has always been somewhat problematic but lately I can't get it set at all. Probably should have returned it a long time ago. Hopefully I can explain this in a way that it would make sense to someone.:confused: For example I want to seat a...

I had to order several parts for this gun for a friend of mine because he lost them and one of the parts was the recoil spring. The one I got seems too long for this gun. It bends to one side as it sits in the slide and I have to carefully slide the frame so it won't pop out. Can someone please...

I am trying to repair a Llama 111A .380 for a friend which appears it was neglected for a lot of years and was missing pieces also. Well I was able to locate the missing parts but when I got it assembled I had a very hard time pulling the slide back. So I took it all apart again and just...

I have had my Lee Classic Turret for about a year and a half now and have produced around 20,000 rounds in that time. I have been noticeing lately when I replace the turret to do a different caliber it is stiff to rotate for the first 10 to 15 rounds and then begins to get smooth again. My...

Not sure what is causing this but I went to the range last night with my Glock 20 10mm to try some new reloads. Of the twenty that I shot 3 of them did not fire. This gun has been "Old Faithful" for me for 2 years, every time I pull the trigger it always went bang. Here are some pics of two that...

I'm looking to buy a CC weapon in either .40 S&W or .45 ACP. The range I can afford is between $600 and $1000. I'm kinda leaning towards the Para Ordnance PXT Carry or something similar. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thx.

Has anyone used SRP for .357 mag for a rifle load? I don't have many SPP and I would like to substitute SRP. Thanks for any suggestions.

I have finally found a lead bullet I like to shoot with my Springer Loaded. 200 grain IDP #4-XD by Missouri Bullet. Hardly any smoke, low recoil, accurate, and easy to clean-up after. What more can I ask for! The recipe I used was 4.3 g Bullseye with a OAL of 1.205. Gonna start mass producing...

I have 5 different reload books but can't quite find an accurate recipe that correlates to this bullet. The one I bought is .45 ACP 200 g. RNFP(IDP #4 HD). After going through all five books I have a good idea of what to try but nothing specific. I would like to use 4.2 g Bullseye with a OAL of...
