    My new STI Perfect 10

    That's cool someone else wanted a hard chrome Perfect 10. I wanted the full length dust cover and a good deer gun. Glad to see you have had good success getting deer with yours. I have many big bore handguns wanted to get one with a auto. I hunt in a sad part of the UP of MI and most of my shots...

    My new STI Perfect 10

    nickE10mm, not on 10mmtalk. On a lot of forums though. I really just wanted a longslide 10mm for the longest time. Figure I would get the most out of a 10mm and be able to shoot a little bit flatter a little longer. Ive been so busy I haven't had the time to even shoot it. Sad I know, but it...

    My new STI Perfect 10

    I waited a while to finally get my Perfect 10, but I am one happy camper today. I got this gun with 2 extra mags and a 40 cal barrel so I can shoot bulk through it. I ordered it from the factory with the hard chrome. I apologize for the pics, but I had to use my iPhone w/o a flash to get any...

    Any .50 DE owners on here?

    I own one, have put a lot of rounds through it. The WOW factor wears off pretty fast. I would agree with everything that Sam1911 had to say both pro and con about the gun. For the money, you can get the WOW gun. I mean, a 454 Casull has more power than a 50AE, why not get the holy grail of...

    New life to my Dan Wesson 15-2, thanks to EWK Arms

    Earlier this year I bought a used Dan Wesson 15-2 (about 70-80%) from a great member here. He described the gun perfectly, and I paid accordingly (not very much). I wanted this gun because I had always wanted a DW Pistol Pac with HV shrouds. Well this gun only came with one barrel/shroud and it...

    Doublestack 10mm that ISN'T a Glock?

    Funny you posted that, both STI and SVI are out of Texas. I was thinking it but you said it first. I try to buy US guns whenever possible. Only exceptions are my FsN, Yugo M57, (try to find either a 5.7 or a 7.62 Tok made by a US manufacture) a few Glocks (carry guns I consider disposable plus I...

    Doublestack 10mm that ISN'T a Glock?

    @ NG VI Take this with a grain of salt, the guy I was dealing with was sponsored by EA. I was told that the EA had higher velocity (in line with claims) and tighter std. dev with shots than BB (was below claims but close) or DT (100+ fps off claims). BB was supposedly close and he said that DT...

    Doublestack 10mm that ISN'T a Glock?

    Kinda funny that I stumbled upon this thread. Like yourself I wanted a double stack 10mm in the worst way. Not real reason for it, I just wanted a 10mm preferably double stacked. The caveat was that I really wanted it in a 1911, preferably 6" not 5". Well turns out someone makes that exact gun...

    10mm Question?

    I would agree that Double-Tap and Buffalo Bore are probably your best choices for hot loads in the 10mm, but there is another one out there that is off the radar. Elite Ammunition, has a few 10mm loadings that I believe are supposed to be the "hottest" out there. They are loaded above SAMMI...

    cast lead bullets in an AR?

    I have not, but I would not advise it. The velocity of the rifle round (~2000 fps) coupled with the gas ports, would make a terrible mess of things. You most certainly get leading, even the harder alloys and I don't even thing gas checks would help in this case. I would consider it in a bolt...

    HELP! Is this DAN WESSON 44 mag a good deal?

    I am glad that I was able to sway you to the dark side (just kidding). For some reason Dan Wesson guns are very polarizing. There are a lot of people who either love them or hate them. I think that they are worth the higher prices people are paying, but others would only buy them at rock bottom...

    S&W .500 Magnum recoil - pleasant surprise

    I think my 629PC 44mag with a 2 5/8 in. barrel recoils significantly more so than my S&W 500 with any loading. Granted it's with a 8+ in. barrel, but I can shoot it as long as I can feed it. Even 700grs with max loadings are light in comparison. In my situation I blame it on the grip of the 44...

    HELP! Is this DAN WESSON 44 mag a good deal?

    To be honest with you, you can get those tools pretty cheap. I'm putting a website on here with a guy I have dealt with before who is a world class person to deal with and will bend over backwards to help you. http://www.ewkarms.com/zencart/ The owners name is Eric and he has/makes all things...

    Did I make a mistake? IMR 4895 vs H4895? Plus 45-70 questions

    Thanks for the replies guys. I feel a bit better about my situation now. Only bad news was I couldn't get a hold of them in tie to take the 4895 off my order, but oh well. Guess I will just have to shoot it up? I figure the case sizes are big enough that it will be gone before I know it. I...

    HELP! Is this DAN WESSON 44 mag a good deal?

    At one point I was looking for that exact gun/combo. I would have paid 900 had it been a complete set, but I never did. You will see people go both ways on DW guns. A lot of DW haters out there. One thing no one will take away from them is how accurate they are. I say pull the trigger. I bought...

    I'm crossing over!

    +1 to Walkalong and Maj Dad. When I got into reloading pistol rounds, I started with plated bullets. They have literally performed as well as any bullet from any manufacture I have ever used. I have observed 0 leading or copper fouling. They were my go to round for all non-magnum pistol...

    I'm crossing over!

    Funny post because I am about to cross back over from plated to jacked. I like the way they shoot, don't get me wrong. But you are almost literally paying the same price for what I would deem an inferior product. Im going to give Zero a try for the first time when my next order comes. Already...

    300 gr in a 44 special?

    You tun into the problem of case volume, especially when running a larger pill in a shorter case. Hodgdon's website doesn't even list a H110 load for 44 Special. Specifically I don't not know if the there are differences between the 2 cases, but I would error on the side of caution and just use...

    300 gr in a 44 special?

    I'm gonna be perfectly honest and say that I have never done so. My Google-foo lead me to this site, where I have used some S&W 460 & 500 data successfully. http://www.handloads.com/loaddata/default.asp?Caliber=44%20Special&Weight=All&type=Handgun&Order=Powder&Source= 300gr data is at the...

    Replacement for Unique

    My vote is for AA#5. Sounds like what you are looking for. Produces hotter rounds and is dirty, but not overly dirty. I felt that AA#5 from a recoil standpoint was some of the hardest recoiling powders for a particular caliber than I have ever used (my opinion probably best represents the recoil...
