    M&P tap but no rack.

    Thanks 9mmepiphany now i know what the problem is,i'm OCD,and i don't even know how to seat a mag. I'll be sure to pass the info on to my RO.

    M&P tap but no rack.

    Just wanted to see if anyone else has ever had this issue with an M&P 9. Whenever i do a reload at slidelock i was trained to insert new mag and give it one or two quick blows with the heel of my hand to make sure the mag is properly seated in a high stress situation.Problem is when i do this...

    WANTED: Reliable 1911 with Easy take-down & Assembly

    If it were me i would worry more about reliability and functioning of the pistol.Since 1911's are pretty much mechanically the same animal and take down the same. The only difference i can see is the fit of the barrel bushing,when on a custom gun the barrel is needed to drive the bushing out.so...

    Anything better than Bullseye?..

    I've been pretty happy with hp38/231 for .45acp and .38 seem's to burn fairly clean and meters well. Also i use trailboss in my .38 cowboy action loads i like it, seem's clean but does'nt seem to meter quiet as well,but not bad.

    First pull of press today!

    Just relax give yourself plenty of time and a quiet atmosphere. Don't be afraid to ask plenty of questions. But beware this great hobby has been deemed addictive. So just enjoy the ride.

    hardness optimized boolits

    I don't seem to get what i would call bad leading. I usually will shoot 100-200rds at a time,when i check my barrel i might have a few round specks of lead right at the end of the chamber where the bullet first contacts the rifling. And that seem's to be pretty typical in all my 1911's. And yes...

I've only been at this for about 2-3 years so i appreciate any help or advice from all of ya. Sure wish i would have started a...

    hardness optimized boolits

    I've been using commercially produced cast bullets for sometime now that are 18BHN. The other day i read an article on determining optimal BHN for the loads you are shooting. I used the formula provided CUP/1279.8=BHN and even at max loads i was only coming up with about a 12BHN this is for...

    My New Fatboy Jr. Gun Safe

    Hey BomberBill357,check with your local gunshops,if they sell safe's they more than likely have a professional mover that does deliveries.

    Leary of 38 SPL in 357 mag. help

    A+ on the stainless steel scouring pads for cleaning lead,fast simple works great and a fraction of the cost of some gimmicks that don't really work that great.I buy them locally at a restaurant supply store for 1.50 apiece. And they last quite awhile. That's all i use anymore and all i shoot is...

    45acp oal

    You might want to make sure your shellplate is'nt to loose. I've read that there can be small amount of flex in the shellplate causing small variances in col. also make sure to have a round in the first station to counter balance the shellplate when setting col. Like i said this is just...

    Gunpowder in the summertime

    Maybe you should contact the powder manufacturer for their 2 cents. But at 60 degrees I can't see you having to much trouble as long as you keep your lids on snug. Back before I was able to reload in the house I had shop set up in a insulated pole barn/garage,it still got pretty warm out there...
