    What Can I do with old reloaded ammo?

    I have a large ammo can full of .38, .40, .327 Fed Mag, and .45 ammo -- all handloads -- all in calibers I no longer shoot or have any guns for. By its nature, some of this ammo is hard to take apart (crimped cases). Some of this stuff is 15 years old, most about 10 years old. It's been a...

    Did Hunter have two pistols, not one?

    Take a look at this picture from the Daily Mail on Sept. 6th. It looks like a Taurus or Beretta, not the Glock purchased with the falsified 4473.

    MODERATOR NOTE - this is a good topic. Broader non-2A comments aren't and can result in penalties for violating the Code of Conduct and post deletion. The Wall Street Journal editorial board published an interesting editorial today about one aspect of the RKBA: Search on Google for “white...

    Do You Get Tired of a Specific Gun You Bought?

    Does anybody else get "tired" of a pistol and lose interest in it after a while... only to find something else that is interesting (and then buy one of those?)?. I've gone through a lot of different pistols (and a few revolvers) over the years doing exactly this. I discovered 1911s again a...

    To carry or not

    Well, my gas station got robbed yesterday. The perp walked in, demanded money, punched the gentleman who was in the office (these are nice people, among other things they inspect our cars annually), and tried to get the cash box. Apparently it was locked up and he didn't succeed and ran out...

    Unique Questions

    I am using Unique a lot for .41 REM MAG and .44 SPC, most often with mild loads. I get a lot of smoke from each round (usually 215 gr SWC in .41 MAG, and anything from 200 gr RNFP lead to 250 gr Keith in the .44 SPC). To generalize, my loads run 6.5 to 7.5 grains of Unique with these...

    Question on "lead poisoning"

    There is a lot of lead around a reloading table -- in the media that I use to clean brass (from the lead styphnate in the primers) and in the residue from the cast lead bullets I reload. I typically get lead on my hands -- finger tips turn gray -- if I reload as few as 50 rounds of cast lead...

    You learn something every day

    One thing I learned recently, and would like to pass along to any other reloaders who are slow as I am, since I didn't know you could do this: When using the bullet seating die, I occasionally put ripples in a case if I set the crimp too low to start out. The rounds won't fit into the...

    Stand-up Reloading Suppliers

    I ordered 5000 Fed GM primers from Mid-South early in the week, and they arrived right on time by FEDEX today. Whew. I feel a lot better. But I want to take up this bit of web space to say we have some real stand-up suppliers/vendors in this hobby - Mid-South included. There are a few...
