    Gun Care question

    carry opinions open vs concealed

    I personally prefer to carry a sub compact in a concealed holster under a tee for EDC. If I'm carrying a compact or full size then I throw a button up shirt over it. I'm of the thought that if someone approaches me with hostile intent I dont want them knowing I'm armed until it's too late...

    .380 100grn RNFP need help

    This headache started when I got some HSM HC 100grn RNFP .356 dia. I wanted to load in my 380. Most of the data I find for RNL shows a Coal of .975 These need to sit at .965 to function in my pistol. I was wondering if anybody here has loaded these and what worked best. On hand I have all kinds...

    Should I get Quickload?

    I'm looking for something I can plug data into and get approximate pressure and velocity info. For one if I find a powder that produces higher velocities at lower pressures (this is good right?) and finding safe starting points. If I'm correct you can plug in the case capacity, powder, bullet...

    My question of the day 9mm reloading Looking for enlightenment

    An acquaintance says he had good results loading Rainier 124gr hp under about 7 gr of blue dot. I had enough info to start but no OAL. To start I measured a federal HST 124 gr. It came in at 1.100 and thats what I went with. The HST is .595 in length and and the Rainier is .551-.555 so I...

    Case trimming or sizing issue

    So I recently started loading 9mm and it was going well. I decided to get some Barnes Tac-XP 115 gr. Prior to this I was taking once fired, tumbling, Sizing priming, flaring, charging and seating. Done! Well I really wanted these Barnes to be something special and their load data specified a...

    Need help with 9mm

    I have a chance to pick up some factory second jacketed HP. Seconds because these are .354" Would they be safe in 9mm luger loads for a Sig 229 or SP2022? Probably another dumb question but I'm new and figure I'll get a better answer than asking the guy whos trying to sell them to me :confused:

Well a couple days later I was telling a friend about it and I took him to the web page to see the lower and the picture they displayed was my lower. Exact serial number plain as day. Typically...

    I was trying to work up a load I couldn't find any data on using parts I already had on hand. To be safe I started with low charges. I've recently read on here that light charges may cause a rifle to detonate same as heavy charges. I'm a little concerned being extremely new to this so here's...

    Newbie mistake processing/ priming millitary brass

    Though I would put this up to save someone the trouble I went through today. I was swaging some LC brass for the fist time today. I ran it all through my RCBS swager then began hand priming it. The hand primer was the non-universal RCBS one. A lot of the primers were seating really...
