    Loading .40 S&W

    Hello, All. I shot my first IDPA match last weekend and had a great time. The match was really well run and my squad was an easygoing, helpful group. I'd already had fun at my local club matches (USPSA-like) and one UPSPA shoot--it was nice to find a friendly place at the IDPA match. It's all...

    Slam Fire

    Today at the range, the gun went bang, bang, and then click. I waited a bit, then dropped the magazine and locked open the slide. What popped out was a peppered round (the primer was dinged). I used my flashlight to confirm a clear barrel. I loaded that dinged round into the top of the magazine...

    What's in your range bag?

    Personally, going to the range is a bit of a production. I run through a check-list of things I might want: target supports & stands, chronograph & tripod, cooler (drinks & perhaps eats), firearms & ammunition, eyes & ears (my own and spares), clay & launcher, shot timer, pistol rest, gun...

    In the Gun Digest Book of Concealed Carry, reference is made to the "Illinois State Police load"-a 115-grain standard JHP launched at some 1300 fps. How is this accomplished? Speer 14, Lyman 49, and Alliant's website show max velocities ranging from 1144 to 1244 for 115gr. I see...

    My Unruly Glocks

    It's time to share my fun with Glocks. (I hope I picked the right place to start a thread.) I'd been spending time at the range with a couple of revolvers. I shot with multiple friends that had .45 semis, got to try them out, and decided I wanted a semi for myself. My husband wanted a Glock...

    Newbie Reloading Questions

    Hello, All. I loaded up 50 rounds of .32 S&W using once-fired Fiocchi brass, Speer 98gr HBWC, CCI primers and 2gr of Unique. I took them to the range to see how accurately they flew and they seemed to be fine, so I came home and loaded up another 150. I've since sent another 75 or so...
