Just inherited a wad of both and would like to make a few rounds on my day off. Not much published data out there for this combo, but both are popular/common so I'm hoping someone can give me a suggested load. Bullets are cast TC, weigh in at 179-180gr, BHN of 12 and lubed with Blue Angel...

Need a Lee 10mm/40SW seat die only. I can swap for it or let me know a price. Doesn't have to be new (would be great), just has to work I'm hoping someone is using a Lee size die to get rid of the famous Glock bulge and is using other dies in the other positions. I've got everything...

Hi guys, I finally got a chance to get into the SP101 with the IBOK by my side. The trigger is now MUCH smoother in both SA and DA. The SA seems to have just a little creep to it still. I don't notice the same in DA, so I'm pretty sure the issue is the SA related only. While I was...

Looking to add a dot to my SP101. I know a drill and tap and a rail will be necessary. Have any of you tried this ? Any suggestions for who to do the work ? Thanks 'Slick

Can someone give me a short course in M44 Mosin Nagants ? I'm in the market for one, and several are available from different sources. I am a little wary of imported battle rifles of unknown origin, but the M44's I've shot are a ton of fun and cheap to boot from what I'm told. When...

~ 100gr cast ? I've been using H4227/WSP for general plinking with good results in 4" barrels, but H4227 is a tad too slow to get a good burn out of the J frame snub. Looking for something a little faster. Of course, stellar accuracy and economy would be ideal. I'm leaning toward a...

Hi guys, I just got home with the SP101 and a new set of Hogue grips for it. I'm all set for an evening of dry firing and then off to load 300 jacketed 100gr XTP's to run thru it. I got the stock grip screw out, and the panels off and a brass colored pin fell out. OK... it's nice to know I...

Hi guys, Can one of you post a pic of a 3" and a 4" SP101 next to each other ? Trying to decide on which to buy. Something simple would suffice, maybe a comparison to another gun, 1911. Glock etc.. for size. Thanks for th help ;) 'Slick

Hi guys, I am about to pull the trigger on a buy. I'm looking at the Ruger SP 101 (KSP-3241X) in a 4" in 32 H&R Mag. They have a 3" version also, I may end up with it instead after I fondle both of them. I've been shooting and reloading 32 H&R for J frames for a hell of a long time. I...

Can't seem to find a 9mm compact that fits my description of worth what's being asked for it, so I guess the next option is to go .38 super and fit a 9mm barrel to it. Looking for the smallest (reliable) size currently available. Any ideas ?

Hi guys, I'm looking for a compact (sub?) 1911 SA in 9mm. Looks like Springfield used to make one, but it is discontinued. I'm hoping to find a basic gun, with (or add) night sights, single sided frame safety *no* front cocking serrations in stainless. I know it sounds simple, but that...

Hi guys, A few guys from the local shooting club are trying to pool resources to get a group buy on primers together. Looks like the qty will be in the 100k range (split among about 15 people). We've called Powder Valley and no joy. They pretty much have no interest in dealing. That's...

Looking for a 50AE case gauge Anyone have a source or know where I can get one made ? Thanks BigSlick

Hi guys, I just bought a few goodies from a local fellow who was getting out of reloading because he doesn't have the time to devote to it any more. Here's what was included... Powder: IMR-4831 - ½ full Unique - ½ full 2400 - ½ full 231 - full, never opened IMR4350 - ½ full...

Looking to find Garand fodder - I'm completely out. I like 150gr bullets, but 147's would do for the right price. Looking for a can or so... Thanks, BigSlick

Hi guys, I just loaded a few rounds of 500SW. When going thru loaded round inspection, I noticed one piece of Corbon brass had an odd anomoly. I pulled the round, and the same is on the inside of the brass, with interior and exterior edges raised enough to catch a finger nail or dental...

Hi guys, I have shot a lot of lead over the years and generally had typical results. Shoot a lot, clean a lot, deal with the leading as necessary. About three weeks ago, I came into a couple of boxes of Laser Cast 230 RN. I used it initially to work up a practice load for myself and a...

Hi guys, Yesterday, I loaded a couple of hundred rounds of 9mm for a trip to the range this morning. I had a couple of boxes of Federal SP primers left from years past, so I decided to use them up. 99.9999% of the time I use WSP, never a problem, glass smooth feeding and they go bang...

Hi guys, I need to get new dies in .223, .308 and 30-06. I had mine stored in a box when setting up my new bench and they got stored in the garage for a few days. It iced up, rained and sleeted for a couple of days and I completely forgot about them. I pulled them out this morning and a...

Hi guys, I bought a 9mm Lee 4 die set to get the size die and the FCD. I have been using the size die (works great) in the 550 for a couple of months. I have been wondering about the issue of bullet pull being affected by the FCD and decided to do a bit of research on my own. I have a few...
