    HV loads in shotguns

    Hi. Got lucky over the Holidays and got something I've always wanted to own; a Browning A5 Sweet Sixteen. I've noticed that there's some "HV" loads now out there, "sonic" > 1,400fps. I was curious if some of these could be run through some of our shotguns. Called Browning and got a very nice...

    Browning Auto 5

    Hi Need some advice from some of you "oldtimers", like myself. At this time of my life i should be looking to dispose of some of my stuff rather than add to it. The Browning has always intrigued me, yet, after 45 yrs in the field never ran across anyone using one. Before i check out, I feel the...

    Browning A5

    Hi Need some advice. Was in the local gun shop today and came across something that i've always wanted; a Browning A5 in 16ga. I've shotgunned for years but mostly in either pump 12 or 20, UNLESS i pheasant hunt, then i use a 16 double. I like a 16 and never owned a semi nor a Browning and...

    Re-sizing .30-30 cases

    Awhile back, guided by some articles & then comments on THR, I resized .30-30 brass down to 25-35. Worked out pretty well on a number of different cases ( did it until i finally found new 25-35s) except for some much older WW Super in 30-30 that when resized, the bolt on the 25-35 wouldn't...

    Lee Precision

    Had an amazing experience with Lee Precision this week. With all this time on my hands recently, figured it was time to do some heavy duty reloading. I use a Lee basic 3-hole Turret press that I bought new in 1980. I've had to pull that lever at least 100,000 times over 8 different calibers. On...

    9mm reloading

    Hi, would appreciate some advice. Considering purchasing & reloading my first 9mm. I've read pros/cons, not worth it w/ammo so cheap etc etc, but i'm retired, have the time, & enjoy reloading. Never worked with 9mm before. DO reload for a 1911 /45acp and was wondering if its the same technique...

    .38 Sp case

    This sounds so weird i'm not sure i'm explaining it correctly. Shooting a Ruger SP101 via single action. Once in over 2k reloads fired I couldn't pull the hammer back and advance to the next cartridge because the rim appeared to large. ( Yes this was a .38 sp case.) Using a rat tail file i just...

    .30-30 into 25-35; Some general reforming questions

    Even though I secured new Hornady brass, this idea intrigued me, especially since .30-30 is so much easier to find. I have NEVER had to anneal or reform brass before. I found an old article by Ed Harris who stated " reform the .30-30 brass in a 2 step process. Decap & partially form the neck a...

    Crimping .38/.357

    I'm reloading 38s & .357s. I'm using a Lee die set and using the die that seats & then can also crimp, in this case just enough to remove the bell that was created to seat the bullet & then maybe a tad more. I notice at times i start to get a crimp that looks like an indent into the brass...

    Need a better sight for a Rossi 92

    Have a fairly new '92 in .357. I download alot and shoot .38s also and even with factory sights and lighter loads this rifle is very accurate. Problem is when i shoot factory or zippier loads, i still get a nice grouping but 7-8" higher than point. I've already got the sight elevator out. I...

    Rifleman article

    Would appreciate a kind soul here. There was a tested reload in either the July or August issue of the NRA American rifleman. It was on the Projects page, the reloading of a .45 acp load using either a 185 or 200 gr bullet with power pistol. I inadvertently misplaced the magazine. Could someone...

    Powder storage

    OK, I know about storing your powder in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and sunlight, from primers, and away from other chemicals, paints etc etc. Of late i'm using 2-3 different spaces to store my powder in their original containers. Just to simply , I was wondering if it would be OK...

    W 231

    Just a note, went to my local gun show here in south central PA and saw for the first time in 4yrs W231. It was an 8lb jug. Take a guess the price ? $ 200 I passed.

    Need help w/bullet ID.

    At a recent garage sale, picked up some components from a guy who's dad had passed on. He said his Dad had reloaded .45 acp, like me. Along with a nice stash of brass there were some bullets that were easily Id'ed for the .45. However i'm not familiar with the following. Its a 200 gr JHP WITH...
