    Dehumidifier recommendations for small pistol cabinet

    I have the stack on sheet metal rifle cabinet with a golden rod plugged in in a relatively moist part of the house. It’s working great and the rifles are not developing rust. I’d like to setup the small bolt on top pistol cabinet stack on sells to make more room for pistols. I’d appreciate...

    MBC 357 grooveless unexpected velocities

    I just loaded and chrono'ed some of Missouri Bullet Company's hitek2 coated ".357 Action!-Grooveless" brinnell 18. These were loaded 1.6185 oal, federal small mag primer, RP cases. I didn't get the velocities that I was expecting from the data I was using out of Lyman 49th. Lyman data called...

    Flap holster closure methods - magnet?

    Im playing with making my own leather holsters, I’d like to make a leather flap holster and I’m interested in using a magnet as a closure method. I imagine it will be silent opening and closing, great while hunting. Im a little confused on magnet types. I plan to glue and sew it into a pocket...

    MBC 200grn Steeler HiTek 10mm load advice

    I bought Missouri bullet company's 200 grain tcfp Steeler HiTek brinnell 18 coated bullets for loading in a stock glock 10 mm. Load data for this weight lead bullet and caliber is skimpy at best. The only data I found was Lee's manual, and I try not to rely on that one exclusively. I have most...

    MBC 44 Mag Coated Bullets

    I grabbed a few sample packs of Missouri Bullet Company's 240 grain Hi-tek coated offerings: "44 Smasher" (RN), "44 Elmer K", and "44 Magnum - Hi-Tek" (TCFP), to try feeding in my winchester 94 20" barrel 44 mag lever rifle. All were loaded with 9.0 grains of Win 231, roll crimped in the crimp...

    MBC 9mm swc 125 grain coated bullets

    I tried some of Missouri Bullet Company's 9mm swc 125 grain hi-tek coated with win 231 in my relatively stock hipower. These are some pretty and consistent appearing bullets, definitely nicer then my hobbyist needs. The hipower has stock springs... well maybe they should be replaced, it was an...

    Winchester model 92 44mag strength

    I have a Winchester model 92 in 44mag 20" with a serial number dated in the 1960s. It's a good rifle, factory ammo gave me a nice deer last year. I'm looking at reloading the brass now with 240xtp and nice big charges of w296. Should I be concerned about the rifle's strength and ability...

    380 low flash powder recommendations

    I'd like to load 380 lead ball for all uses. I don't shoot my carry ammo enough, and I especially don't shoot my pocket 380 enough. I don't expect it to be a rifle, and I don't expect it to be a velocity king, but I would like powder recommendations for a lower flash. I will be using 100...

    Using a 45 colt die to bell 44 mag?

    I'll be buying a 44 mag die set soon, I'm planning on the RCBS set, I prefer their seat/crimp die. However, I like the lee powder/expander die on my turret press. Could I use my existing lee 45 colt die to expand 44 mag? By the time I also buy a shell holder and lee powder die I find myself...

    Seater Die Stems & Matching Bullet Profile

    My lee dies (various calibers) did not come with multiple seating stems to match bullet nose profile. I bought a used set of Redding dies (38spl/357) that did and played with them to match the bullet profile. Do the different seating stems make enough of a difference to be worthwhile...

    Are these bullets salvageable?

    Are these bullets salvageable? I'm assuming I can separate the bullets from the torn off brass necks. The few that I did manage to pull resulted in cracked brass necks, very loose necks, and corrosion stuck to the base of the bullet. I am using a hornady collet puller. I'm not looking for...

    Savage 11 stock reassembly

    I have a savage model 11 that used to shoot sub-moa. After taking it out of the stock, I can't seem to put it back together and get the same accuracy out of it. It has three screws entering from the bottom of the stock. The forward most is near to the recoil lug and is a machine screw...
