So it recently made the news here in Spain that the Administration is purchasing some 6000 units of this Israeli pistol with a funny name. They are to be used by the largest law enforcement agency of the country (the Guardia Civil) and amongst these, it looks like those officers in plain clothes...

So, long story short, I had a squib a couple of months ago and spoiled my barrel. The replacement barrel took a couple of months to show up (well, that's another story) and my LGS owner told me that it was most likely that the new barrel needed some adjustments. We threw the new barrel into the...

I've come across a used unit of this pistol at a very reasonable price. Appears to be in good condition and the seller has only one magazine (the other was presumably lost or damaged), hence the cheap price. I have already found out that I can purchase original Tanfoglio magazines from their...

So, in short, I just cranked a 100 rounds of 9 mm. Took like half an hour. Desired OAL was 1.125" using 125 grains copper plated RN bullets. Brand is H&N (made in Germany) which is pretty good stuff. Quite consistent in length and weight. Cases are Fiocchi, so are the primers, and the load is...

One of my shooting buds got one a few months ago. Today I happened to hit his town in the morning and paid him a visit, bought him a cup of coffee and then we went upstairs to his reloading room where he has his reloading set-up. This guy was a total reloading newbie and his English is poor...

Good day everyone. I've seen a couple of this units on sale on a local gun forum and I'm trying to research some info on this press. Both are used presses in apparent good condition. As far as I know it's the "mother" of the Lock'n'Load progressive, just that the dies are screwed instead of the...

So, long story short, I had ordered a Berry's tumbler from Brownells Spain and got it on Monday. Bad news is that I found an American plug on it and suspected that if I plugged it to the socket, something bad could happen. I have adaptors for some other stuff that uses different sockets than...

I've come across a used Load Master with very little use. The guy still wants too much money for a used LM without dies, but if he eventually drops the price I might get it. So far I've been using a Classic Turret tha I got in the form of the "kit" that Lee sells. This means I already have...

Hi gents. So, long story short, a guy showed up at my shooting club offering copper plated bullets at interesting prices. I was interested in the RN 147 grains and got a sample (20 bullets) that I examined closely, weighed and measured at home. The weight was consistent, so were the measurings...

It's just a few generic questions that I'd like to make to you, but first off, be informed that I don't reload, nor plan on reloading this caliber. Also that I'm at the other side of the pond, in a country with gun laws so aberrant that you would hardly understand (I don't understand, them, in...

I had to try them, I did, and I loved them. Got a box of 500 of these HN RN 145 copper plated the other day (they were darn expensive :mad:) just because I wanted to try them, and I wanted it bad. Started working my loads from 3.5 grains of my Optima A (similar, but a tad slower to that...

Hi gents: This question is for those of you who have owned one and now own the other, own both, or have operated both models. It comes from a conversation I had the other day, where a fellow shooter/reloader told me it wasn't worth to buy the 550 when you had a 650 for a 170€ difference...

Hi all. Currently I own a small Smart Reloader Nano Tumbler and a small ultrasonic. For my reloading needs (max. 200 9 mm shells per week) it was OK for the moment, but now that I have a proper man cave, it's probably time to move on to a bigger tumbler. I don't need anything too big. If it...

I'm happy to inform you that last week I got my brand new SP01 Shadow home, and that so far, I couldn't be happier with it. It will serve the purpose of being my main range/IPSC competition handgun, relieving my venerable Star 30M from that task. As you know, spare parts for Star pistols are...

Right, as we've probably had enough of Lee CFCD :rolleyes: for a couple of years, my question's gonna be about neck tension, how to check it and how much deviation is acceptable. I'm currently using Remington brass (will switch to Fiocchi in the future as I had my handgun qualification the...

Hi all: I hit the range this afternoon to test a used SP 01 Tactical that I might buy. The pistol comes with two mags and the intended use of that pistol would be range use/IPSC competition, so I need at least a couple of them more. The stock CZ mags are pricey and I'm looking at Mec-Gar as...

I've been using Sellier&Bellot primers since I started reloading and I was quite happy with them. Never a hiccup, and they were usually a bit cheaper than CCI, which was the other alternative. My LGS has run out of them and it was either the CCI or these Murom, which are cheaper (40€/1000...

Yep, Plain and simple. Quite a few guys at my shooting club are switching to Classics. Not that I have anything against it, much on the contrary, I have shot several of those 1911s and I always find them a joy to shoot. But, guess what, all are 9 mms. Not a single one of these guys is shooting...

Yes, yes... I know. That horse's already been beaten up some. And believe me, I've done my part and read a bit about it. I know the goods and bads already. Facts, I can get a NIB .45 ACP 1911 for some 330€, the "Sport" model, with beavertail, three-dot sights, extended mag release...

I may have found a good deal (still negotiating) on a used set of Lyman carbide dies in 9 mm. All I've read about these dies is positive and I feel like getting them, however, one can't help taking advantage from THR wisdom and seek some feedback on them. First, it's carbide like my current...
