I was in the midst of loading up some 9mm on my Hornady LnL when the hopper fell off my powder measure. Man, I had it half full of Universal when it spun off. Powder of course went everywhere and I have to admit I said several bad words, some of them several times. Never had this happen with...

I was at my local range today and a group of French tourists was having a go a couple of lanes over. They were having a great time shooting the range rentals, 9mm semis. So I was trying out some new loads in my .357 magnum, warmish 158 SWC's on top of H-110, and they were zapping right in where...

I got it set up for .45, just finished off my first hundred. This thing pounds out the rounds, scary fast compared to my Lee Turret you can also see in the picture. One thing that is a trade off is that you do not have the feel that you do on the Lee turret- the Lee has a stationary shell...

Occasionally when I sweep up my brass an unfired round is included in the mix. When I am sorting the brass later I set these unfired rounds aside. I examine them for fitness, make sure they have a good primer, etc.- if any do not pass muster I trash them. Then next time I am at the range I fire...

I have found a predisposition of the typical gun store clerk to automatically wrap up the display model when the decision to purchase is reached. I don't know about anyone else but I always ask if they have one in the back that is brand new in the box. I want to get the gun that has not been...

I posted awhile back a note on my trade of a Glock 22 for a S&W model 60-14. At the time I was awaiting some grips to roll in from Altamont. They arrived and I put them on, here are the photos, please excuse my less than Ansel Adams skills. The black grips are the stock items. I am pleased...

i was not shooting my police trade-in Glock 22 much so I put it up locally for possible trades. I was intrigued when I was offered a S&W model 60-14 (2 1/8" barrel, steel frame) on a straight-across trade. I examined the gun and it was totally unblemished and clearly in as-new condition. The...

I have had nothing but success selling guns on Armslist, have 4 sales that went off without a hitch. Until today. I think the best way to ensure a smooth transaction is to completely and honestly describe what you are selling, provide good pictures, and ask a fair selling price. When a...

I have a few semi-automatic pistols in 9, 40 and 45. I never felt the pull toward revolvers until last week. So, because we live in America and we can, I went on down to the gun store to buy a revolver. Had a good look at the selection and settled on a Ruger GP100 4". Built like a brick...

Had a great day at the range going, popping my 9mm reloads through my Sig and M&P, and throwing some .45's downrange with my Para. Was on the last 15 rounds in my Sig 226 9mm when I had the weirdie- squeeze but no boom, the gun did not cycle. I observed a tendril of gunpowder smoke so I knew...

I had an auto alert email set up from Midway to notify me when they got more CCI small pistol primers in stock. The email arrived today. I read it within 3 minutes of Midway's send time, booked it to Midway online ASAP: already sold out. Sold out in 3 1/2 minutes. Now, I do not know how much...

I ordered from X-treme on Jan. 31 and received my 9mm order today. I am posting this to provide my fellow reloaders feedback on lead time I experienced. X-treme makes a nice bullet- I will be ordering from them again soon and will be curious to see if they are able to improve on a 2 1/2 month...

Using what I have to in these times of shortages, do any of you have recommendation for the ingredients .40 + WSF + Winchester magnum primers + 180 gr lead FP. Just shooting paper at 50 feet, all I need is a mid-level load. Thanks.
