Helloooo my fellow handloaders, especially all ye who taught me the trade and helped me avoid blowing myself to little pieces! Hope you all are doing well and saving lots and lots of money loadin' your own:what: I wanted to drop in and see how everyone is doing of course but Im also hoping...

Hiya guys, long time no see. I havent been able to tune in much...internet in and out of service at home, wife's sister lived with us for "a month", and yada yada yada etc. Anyway, when I used to tune in daily, it looked like we were just starting to shake loose from the big powder shortage...

Anyone done any testing on their JHPs? Im especially interested in 9mm but I guess if their design works well in one caliber, it probably works well in most. They look kind of like the HDY HAP IIRC, which is more of a target bullet than an SD bullet in my mind. Maybe Im wrong there? Any...

As many of you know, Midway had a special on APS SPPs the other day. I bought 3000 (shouldve bought more). I believe it was BDS who mentioned the RCBS hand primer was only 39$ (free shipping from amazon) so i figured I'd bite. Everyone might already know about this APS stuff but its all new to...

Sorry to open a thread 2 days in a row, and a subjective one at that..but I caught myself rambling in reaction to a comment in the "Anyone seen Longshot" thread, so I figure I better open my own in order to avoid a WARNING in my Inbox! There's been a whole lot of posts about folks...

I have some 147 gr Zeroes on the way from Powder Valley for 9mm. Where do you guys (or gals) rank them in quality? Not the 147 specifically but the brand as a whole.. Any problems? I figure Powder Valley probably wouldn't carry them if they weren't up to snuff. Thanks all!

Fellas, Some of you may know this already, through my mentioning it in a thread or two- I emailed Chris Hodgdon, to tell him how much I loved 4756, and tried to talk him into keeping it on the docket, and just charging more for it if it takes more $$$ to make. Of course that's a great strategy...

Echoing Russel's thread here, what's your favorite 9mm bullet for accuracy? I was a bit surprised to see so much lead in the answer, at least I think that's what all those abbreviations were:). Might be something I need to look into as nary a lead round has ever left the barrel of one of my...

Ran across this at TTAG today and thought I should pass it along. These are the reasons that this particular fellow, an English teacher, carries a gun every day. I thought it funny to mention he is also a classically trained singer, a first tenor-"yes, the highest male voice". And mentions that...

Greetings, Hoping my fellow THRians can help me out with a few things: I recommended a Sig P239 to my father when he inquired about buying a smaller 9mm. He loves the gun but has mentioned he wishes their was a little more to "grip". When i recommended it, I thought it came with an extended...

Top o' the mornin' to you fellas. I'm just getting into 22, as my dad and I went in together on an SR22. I'd like for you guys to sum up the brands/types and what they are known for so if I ever do have a choice, I know what's good and bad and fast and slow, light and heavy.. I heard a guy...

Lurking around the forums over the past year plus, I'd read that gun shows ain't what they used to be, and I could see where one could get his fill of it eventually. But dad and I are pretty much new to shooting and we were like 2 kids on Christmas morning. We were near giddy being surrounded by...

Hey fellas, I hate to take up space with a boring thread.. but HEY, its never stopped me before! <chuckle,chuckle> Seriously, I'd like to know what OAL you load, or have loaded the Xtreme 124 FP to? Ive actually been trying to move away from plated and back to FMJ for a little change but I...

I had never come across this mod until the other day. It really really works. A little epoxy putty to move the center of the charge cavity, hit it with a file or sandpaper, and she'll drop really small charges very consistently. I havent tested how low she'll go but I know Im throwing much...

Hopefully this wont be to crappy of a topic but Im curious: Does anyone think it's remotely possible that Winchester is holding W231 back in order to get AutoComp into people's hands for a look see? It hasnt been out very long has it, and dont you think Winchester had planned on AC being quite...

Hopefully this fella will think twice before breaking into another house. http://blog.al.com/breaking/2014/04/83-year-old_huntsville_man_sho.html http://whnt.com/2014/04/10/police-man-shot-during-home-burglary-arrested-at-hospital/ -

Hey guys, this may be old news but as I bought my soda this morning at the store I saw a headline where Remington is moving some manufacturing to Alabama. Good to see these gun companies making a home where they are welcomed with open arms. pun intended:)...

http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/The%20Next%20Generation.htm Ok, im researching which rifle to get next, I have a 5.56 but have doubted that it's the most efficient choice and ran across an interesting article here. For the ADHD folks among us, the first quarter of it will give you the gist...

:) Easy guys, before you flame me, I was just going for a catchy title there. Still, my question is a little strange. Like any reloader worth his salt (well hopefully I'm not the only one), when I crack open a bottle of powder I bury my nose into the top of the can and take a big whiff. Ahhh...

Hey fellow (re)loaders, Anyone have this lyman check weight set? A fine time to ask, as it's already ordered.:banghead: I dont imagine one is likely to get a "bad" set of check weights(?) so I got these because they were cheap (and they threw in some tweezers, how could I resist?:)). I thought...
