    Interesting email from Amazon

    I ordered Meprolight night sights from Amazon. After a couple of days, I received this notice: Hello, Due to delivery restrictions on your order #107xxx, we won’t be able to send you Meprolight Glock G26/ G27 G/G Fixed Set TD. This is because this item contains regulated materials...

    So, I wanna' sell a gun person to person

    I have a friend who wants to buy one of my guns. I cannot find a definitive statement anywhere of what the current legal ramifications are now that BHO issued his executive action. Do I have to have an FFL to sell this gun to my friend? I went to the nraila.com site and nothing jumped out...

    Is it economical to reload .223/5.56?

    I've been checking component prices for loading .223/5.56. It looks to me like powder will around ten cents a round, the bullet clocks in at thirty-one cents and a primer for less than four cents. Not counting tax and shipping. I can buy get American Eagle 5.56 55 gr cheaper than that. Am...

    Any W231/HP-38 out there?

    I've been informed by my LGS that W231/HP-38 is manufactured only once a year. I guess this year's supply has run out since I can't find any anywhere. I called Federal and customer support claims to not know when any will be produced. Anyone know where I can find some online? Dan in ABQ

    Breaking in a Sig Stainless

    I just bought a new Sig Stainless model. The model name is "Stainless". No confusion there. It is a very smooth gun out of the box. I have only put about 20 rounds of WWB through it so far. http://www.sigsauer.com/CatalogProductDetails/1911-stainless.aspx I have always broken in new...

    45 ACP Action Pistol: 700X or Clays?

    I have both the Lee Modern Reloading book and the Lyman Reloading Handbook #49. I'm taking the path of hot powders with heavy bullets. These two powders appear as numbers 7 & 8 in the burn rate charts and are popular with many .45 ACP IDPA and USPSA shooters. As near as I can calculate, a...

    A 1911 in the $700 range OTD?

    I suspect this question has been asked a million times but here goes anyway. I am a Glock guy and have an itch for the new G30S, a gun with the narrow G36 slide sitting on a G30SF receiver. I like Glock's a lot but my wife (G26 EDC) cannot handle the recoil of a G30. But she fell in love...

    What's the difference between a Beretta 92 and a 92FS? Do they shoot any different?

    Stopped at Gander Mtn in Amarillo...

    LOL! Never been in one before. Who would pay those prices? $600 for a Glock G26! I got my Gen3 G23 for $400 at a GSSF shop. That's the last time I'll waste my time in their store.

    Floor mat for reloading bench?

    I occasionally drop a primer on the painted concrete garage floor where my reloading bench is located. It can be a real chore finding those little boogers. What do you folks put on the floor to keep them from skittering away? Rubber mat? Carpeting? Thanks in advance, Dan in

    USPSA load for .40 S&W PD 180gr RN/FP bullet using 800-x?

    I have the Lyman #49. But I cannot find a load similar to .40 S&W Precision Delta 180 gr bullets using IMR 800-x or AA #7. Anyone have a load for this combination suitable for IDPA or USPSA? BTW: My LnL AP powder drop doesn't seem to have the "corn flakes" issues measuring 800-x that other...

    Advice? 357 Sig bullet with cannelure

    I need advice on bullets for 357 Sig with a cannelure. I am a noob and have read tons of advice on loading the 357 Sig on this column. Many reloaders use an FCD light crimp on this bullet with a cannelure. The only detail they leave out is the specific bullet they use. I don't really want to...

    Is there really any difference in primers by brand?

    I have loaded only small pistol primers so far. Is there any difference in them between the brands? I (think I) need a primer with some punch for some glacially slow powder I bought for loading 357 Sigs. Dan in ABQ

    124g 9mm JHP's in a 357 Sig cart?

    Does anyone load 124 gr 9mm JHP bullets in their 357 sig cases? Does that bullet profile work with the stumpy 357 Sig neck? I'm looking for an economical jacketed bullet for this round. Precision Delta sells this bullet for $86/1000 in bulk. Dan in ABQ

    124g 38 super bullets in 9 mm Luger?

    Anyone tried loading 38 Super bullets in a 9mm Luger? Any feed issues? It's 124gr but with a .356" diameter rather than the .355" for the 9mm Luger. I'm thinking of ordering some of the 38 Supers from Precision Delta to try in a 357 Sig to cure set back problems. It takes me a long time to...

    Noob question: FO & FCD - What are these?

    I'm a noob but have spent a lot of time reading reloading advice. I've heard of some dies referred to as FO's and FCD's. In my reading, I've not seen a definition of these notations. Can someone give me a run-down on what these and others I'm not aware of mean? Does this style of...

    357 Sig - How to cure set back?

    Noob issue: Every one of the posts I've read on loading the 357 Sig warns about set back. But none address how to prevent it. I made several batches today, my first attempt. When racked through my Glock G23 (40 S&W) with a fairly new Lone Wolf Distributing G32 barrel (357 Sig) in it...

    Disposing of live rounds?

    I sometimes end up with a live round after a day of compteition that is in a caliber I do not shoot. Or, I find one laying on the ground at my club. I keep these in a "live" can on my reloading bench. Unfortunately, my club does not have a live round disposal can. What do you guys do to...

    Chemicals safe for Stainless?

    Can any of you guys tell me which chemicals to avoid cleaning stainless barrels/guns? I have a S&W 629, a Savage 116 and a Ruger 10/22. All are stainless or have stainless barrels. I know not to let vinegar sit in a stainless pot for any length of time. So I assume there are chemicals in...
