    Using the LEFT hand for speedloaders, or RIGHT?

    I staarted off with the left hand because I didn't know any better. Got pretty fast at it in IDPA competition ( to the point that I was getting comments from the other shooters on how fast it was). One day another shooter told me that I'd ulimately get faster if I switched to RH. I spent an...

    load needed, 230 gr. .357/38 sp

    data from AA Hodgdon and Alliant wouldn't touch this bullet, but Accurate Arms was willing to help me. This is the reply I got from them. As long as it's safe, I think they've just made a fan out of me. Goog ------------------- We suggest the following. Caliber...

    Ha ha ha...I'm an idiot...

    You may wamt to give Robert a Call at Penn Bullets before ordering. That's not gonna be a real common bullet and it's possible he won't be casting any for a while. Goog

    Bad experience at a gun shop

    In the future, come on down to Montgomery county, where they won't blink an eye. The only problem I have with this discussion is that you could replace the word "jewish" with black, redneck, hispanic and a dozen other descriptors and expect the same reaction from _some_ business. Some people...

    load needed, 230 gr. .357/38 sp

    Just spoke to Robert on the phone (now that his shop is open). He says 7.0 gr of #7 or 9.0gr of #9 in .357 magnum. He didn't have a specific source, just "the guy who helped work up the loads." Next step, I'm gonna call/email AA and Hodgdon and see what they say. Goog Updated: Hodgdon...

    load needed, 230 gr. .357/38 sp

    I sent Robert an e-mail about this before I posted this thread. Hopefully he'll get back to me. GP100man, where did you find the data on his site? To answer your question, I'll be using either a 4" 686, a 6" Dan Wesson or an 8" Taurus 605. Goog

    squib load experiences

    I've had 2 squib loads since I started reloading about 4 years ago. In both cases, they were .38 waddcutters from Rainier. I don't load those any more. I've found that a squirt of WD-40 helps free up the stuck round. Goog

    dan wesson advice

    you can get excellent accuracy out of the DW revolvers. Some will argue that they are more accurate than the Smith and Wessons, but I won't start a flame war :) I own 2 and think they are great guns. Look on Gunbroker or Auction Arms to get the going price. A complete pistol pack with 4...

    load needed, 230 gr. .357/38 sp

    GP100, do you have any way of verifying that it's no. 9? I agree that it's likely, with no. 7 being the next most likely, but I have found no data from AA for anything higher than a 180gr bullet. Goog

    load needed, 230 gr. .357/38 sp

    I'm buying some bowling pin bullets from Penn. they have a 230 gr. "thunderhead" which is essentially a very long wadcutter for .357 which is designed for this purpose. On their site they say to use 9.0 grains of Accurate Arms....no mention of which one, though. Here's a link to the site...

    Anyone shooting after cataract surgery?

    I had cataract surgery about 5 years ago. First, I tried progressive bifocal lenses. If I lean my head WAAAY back I can focus on the front sight. Option 2 is a set of shooting glasses, set to focus at between 3 and 4 feet so I can see the front sights on my pistols. This has worked very...

    Gun prohibitionist commits suicide with a gun

    That's pushing the envelop a bit. So my aunt the nun tends to be unethical? I'm sure many of us have anti-gun friends who just don't know any differently, they're surrounded by it in the media. Let's all keep this discussion "ethical" and moral and not wish ill upon someone most of us didnt'...

    Down to the nitty-gritty 357

    Dan Wesson Model 15 (.357). They are durable and with the barrel changes, very versatile. You can pick them up very reasonably on the auction sites or used at the gun shop. Goog

    Need some suggestions on misfires

    Any chance you're reloading with CCI primers? they are notoriously hard and I know plenty of people who do not use them for revolvers, myself included. Goog

    Can you shoot anything else out of a .44 magnum?

    Good factory personal defense .357 ammo will get the job done and meet the requirements you seem to be setting. For practice/plinking you can load .38 specials in wadcutters or semiwadcutters. For personal defense carry 125 gr hollowpoints in .357. I dont' want to get into the whole big...

    1911 polishing

    Which is why I reccomended it. Some people gotta polish the feedramp because that's what they've read. If you gotta do it, use something that will make it look nice, but won't do any damage. Then you can sleep at night. Goog

    Reloading with my son.

    Glad to know it's not just me and my daughter (4). She has her own stool and some rubber gloves to wear. I hadn't thought about the lgasses either, recon I need to take care of that. I also have to sloooooooooow down when loading with her. I explain to her that this is very impoprtant...
