Hi all. Do any P238 owners here have a pocket holster they like and have practiced drawing from. I've had the Desantis super fly for years. I love the grippy texture, although it still sticks to the gun half the time because the rear oem night sights catch the top stitching. Wondering if...

For you 1911 guys: I'm looking for recommendations on a good base 1911 to start with that I can do some good trigger work and upgrades to make it a competition worthy gun. Doesn't have to be over the top, as I do not even compete as of yet. Looking in the $1,000 and under range. But...

This isn't a caliber war convo about stopping power or penetration. I'm looking for a target load in a long n heavy slide .40 converted to 9mm. Most rounds make the slide cycle way too slowly. 147 lead TCFN have given me the best results but still doesn't cycle as fast as I'd like. I've...

Finally made the jump to the XL 650 from the Lee Classic Turret and I'm very pleased. I had a good rhythm going with the turret, I've loaded about 8,000 rounds on that bad boy over the last year and a half without any parts needing replacement. But the difference in time going to a progressive...

I picked up a lb of Red Dot at the gun show this weekend. There weren't many pistol powders available so I grabbed a bottle for .380, 38 special, and maybe 9mm. It seems to be a VERY fast powder, listed ahead of even Titegroup and Bullseye which makes me a little nervous. The windows for...

I've reloaded about 3-4k of .40 and I keep reusing my brass with out tracking it much. I keep load in the medium to light range and my brass hasn't showed any signs of stress. My question is: how catastrophic is a case head separation or other brass failures? Is it similar to over pressure...

Will the PRO version work on a lee 4 hole turret press?

I just bought a new p238 and all I can say is wow. I love this thing. Put 100 rounds through it without a problem. My Kel Tec P3AT jammed on my first range trip and has never been fully reliable since. This p238 shoots like a full size gun. The sights are the best I've seen on a gun this size...

Are there any powder measures better than the lee measure that will work with the same die? I can't use AA#5 because its too fine of a powder and slips through the cracks and locks up the measure and makes a mess. This is with the micrometer bar, not the disks. Has anyone else had this issue...

I have a Glock 24, which is the .40 version of the Glock 17L. 6" barrel. I have a 9mm conversion barrel that works great for it. But I'm having trouble with my 124 gr LRN loads with HP-38/Win 231. OAL of 1.131 ( a bit long, gonna try shortening to 1.125 to increase pressure a bit, data...

I'm more of a handgun guy, but looking into getting a rifle in .300 win mag. Just looking for recommendations/advice on brands and models you guys may recommend and which ones to stay away from. Plan to use more for bench/range shooting and working up handloads more than hunting, but it may...

I can't find any data for this combo. Would also be interested in same bullet with HP-38/231. I checked my Lyman book, Hornady book, hand loads.com, and load data.com and still no luck. Does anyone have recipes for this load?

I recently loaded some test rounds to work up a load with this combo. Wanted something near full power. I loaded up some at 10.75 gr and 12gr with magnum primers. Both loads were extremely flashy, is this a typical property of this powder? The 12 grs gave some SLIGHT resistance when ejecting...

I can't find any data for this exact combo anywhere!!! HS-6 is the slowest burning powder I have on my shelf, figured it'd be the best of what I have to load a medium+ .357 load. Can't find any data for this powder and a 158gr FMJ RNFP with cannelure. If anyone has experience or...

This Hornady 7th Edition shows 7.6 gr of HS-6 as the max load in this book for 180 gr. The Hodgdon website has max load of 6.9gr. Which data should I go by??? I have a few loads that are loaded at 6.9 but I'm afraid they might be too hot. how hot are "max loads"???

I acquired an old box of primers from a friend that picked them up in a garage sale. Age unknown. Does anyone know when Remington stopped using this label? Out of 100, only about 80 fired on the first strike of the pin. The other 20 needed a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th strike before firing. But...

Hornady manual has the range for this load from 5.9 gr to 7.6. Other sources I've seen including Hodgdon's data has 6.9 -7.1 as max load. I loaded some at 6.9 but don't know which info is correct. Would this be safe? Anyone have experience with this combo???

There is not much data on this load. My Hornady manual says to load it to an oal of 1.180 but this is deeper than the top grove. I've heard some people load them flush with the case and some load to the groove. I loaded to the 1.180 but it just misses the groove it seems like. Should I go with...

I live in FL where we have conceal carry but not open just yet. My question is, if I have a concealed weapon on me, is it legal to carry extra mag pouches on my belt openly? Or would that be considered a form of open carry or brandishing??

I'm looking for a good source for a good deal on a S&W 422 magazine. Anybody know of some websites with good deals? Thanks!
