I have a Remington 870, got the urge to try out a red dot on it. I have an older NCStar red dot laying around, (used it on an AR for a while, switched to a circle dot), trying to mount it on the gun. Possible problem, I have a Scattergun Technologies ghost ring rear sight that might get in the...

Just bought some Lehigh 68gr Extreme Defense for the wife's P238, haven't found a lot of info on loads. I have Power Pistol, BE86, Bullseye and HP38, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Question, looking to learn long range shooting, small budget, I've read quite a bit on different rifles. At the moment I'm looking at the Ruger American. My first choice is the Predator, slightly heavier profile 18" barrel, option for muzzle brake. There are pratically NONE available in .308...

Thinking about getting into long range precision type shooting, what rifle to get? My first thought is a Remington 700, been around forever, lots of upgrade 'stuff' available. I would probably go with a .308 caliber, common round, relatively inexpensive, makes LOTS of practice doable. I know...

I just had my second Auto Drum screw up on me. At the bottom, the two metal 'ends' that sort of capture the thumb wheel spread enough that when loading powder into a cartridge, one climbs up a bit onto the thumb wheel, cocks, jams and doesn't let the drum return to get another charge of powder...

Thinking about buying a Dillon 550 press, from experience, who would be the best to buy it from? Looking to load mainly 45acp and 9mm, I have a couple of Lee presses, getting old and lazy, no longer want to keep fussing 'em.

Had malfunction with my powder filler, thought I had separated all the offending, (possible powder-less loads), I was wrong. I have another batch of approx 350 bullets, already had two squibs. Instead of taking them all apart, I'm trying to find the bad ones by weighing. 9mm, 124gr Bayou Bullets...

Has anyone used this ammo? It is 'remanufactured', price is good, thinking about trying some out, figured it couldn't hurt to ask on this forum.

I recently bought what I thought were 9mm Gold Dot JHP 124gr bullets to reload, I realized after I opened the box they are labered .357Sig. They are .355 125gr, can't think of any reason they won't work other that 357 Sig generally travel a bit faster than most 9mm. Any opinions? For what it's...

I just acquired a MEC shotgun shell reloader, it was free! Now I gotta figure out how to use it. It's and older one, a 600jr, pre '85 I think. Not sure how to measure the powder and shot. The charge bar is a bar with two holes in it. Some of the videos I've looked at so far show a charge bar...

I've been looking at different ways of carrying shot shells, currently my 870, +2 tube extension, velcro 6 round shell card, bandolier. This has worked fairly well for a class, a couple of tactical skills days. I came across the SOE micro rig, (I ran into a guy at one of the tac skills days...

I recently decided to slug one of my 9mm guns as I found out that it really doesn't like the 124g LRN Bayou Bullets I've got a bunch of. The barrel is a five groove, kinda tough to measure. I used a .38 special, 105gr bullet and drove it through the barrel. The closest I could measure is a hair...

I just attended an all day Tactical Shotgun class. During the day, we patterned several different buckshot loads. I brought some 00 buckshot and some #1 both Federal Flite Control. Both patterned really tight, (compared to regular 00 buckshot), almost too tight IMO. It seems to me that in most...

Looking to get an IWB holster for my newly acquired S&W M&P. I have two Milt Sparks for another S&W and my 1911. Lobo Gunleather was recommended, it's nearly half the price of Milt Sparks...I'm tempted. Anyone have experience with Lobo?

I'm comparing ghost ring sights, (Scattergun Tech), two different types, one tritium, the other fiber optic, (red/green...another decision). I'd think the fiber optic is better in daylight, duh, obviously, the tritium for low light. I'm wondering if the fiber optic is THAT much better in...

I'm trying to decide which way to go on my 870. It has an 18" barrel, is intended for SD. My eyes aren't getting any younger. I figure just adding an XS Big Dot will be an improvement. I wonder if a full set of ghost ring sights, (the XS sights or Scattergun Technologies), would be better. I'll...

Just bought some of both, trying to figure out the best use of each. I load 9mm, 45acp and .380. Seems like the BE86 would work for higher velocity loads, the HP38 more target, range work? Is the HP38 better suited to 45acp? The BE86 better for 9mm? Not sure about the .380...

I bought a bunch of 64gr SP from RMR a little while ago. Finally go around to loading some up and getting to the range. First up, H335, 23.5gr, 2573fps avg. 24gr avg 2590, not much of a pick up. 24.5gr avg 2633fps. 25gr (max), 2682fps. The 25gr load produced the most accurate shot, (only did 5...

Just started reloading .380 for my wife's new P238. She shot at a class today, had a few partial jams, (a quick smack to the rear of the slide fixed it). I'm loading 105gr Bayou Bullets, SWC, 3.6gr Power Pistol. Seemed kind of dirty, probably contributed to the occasional 'jam', yeah, it's a new...

I've been reloading for a little while, starting to realize I'd like to load faster, spend more time doing other things. I have a Lee turret at present, load for 9mm, 38 spl, 45acp, 223. What exactly is the difference between the Square Deal and the 550B? I've studied them a bit on the Dillon...
