First off I do not mean this in anyway to disparage Missouri Bullet Company. I am a long time customer of their and many of their bullets I load in the thousands. That said. I recently bought 500 of the 125 Grain SWC Hi Tek coated 9mm bullets. I have to say, I don't think I've ever had a worse...

Hi THR Members, I have just moved to the Madison Wisconsin area and am having trouble finding a range to join. I'm running into ranges with limited facilities / hours or private ranges with lengthy wait lists due to membership caps. Does anyone have any recommendations in the area for me within...

So as many of you may or may not know, the .38 special is my absolute favorite handgun cartridge to load and shoot. Right along with that is a love for blued .38 special revolvers. Since I got my first model 10 it has been my goal to get the entire family (10,14,15,36), well with the fairly...

Was hoping to leverage the combined experience here. I want to switch over to coated bullets in my hi power for my day to day shooting. Don't want to go to uncoated lead because more often than not after the range, JHP's get loaded and the gun goes right back in my holster. Do any of you have...

I dropped a bid on a GB auction not expecting to win it. Well lo and behold I got a nice "you won!" Email some hours later. I GUESS I need another revolver :D 98% Smith and Wesson model 22. Only thing I don't like about it is that horribly ugly lock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking to get a 625 in the near future but I have one burning question 4" or 5". I think the five would be more fun for the range but being Illegal for IDPA kind of sucks... I have other IDPA revolvers but no moon clip ones (except the 986 waiting for me but that's also a 5" :( ) anyway 625...

So I was hoping you guys could help me diagnose a problem I had today at the range. I recently got a new to me winchester 94 to hand load for. I picked it up cheap and gave it the TLC it needed as it was in pretty rough shape when I got it. I always find a ton of .30-30 brass at my range so I...

So I'll be moving in July and taking a few rifles and handguns with me. I will be buying a safe once I get down there. My predicament is I cannot purchase the big heavy safe that I want as this is likely temporary housing for a year or two at most. So I'm in the realm of lighter cheaper safes or...

Is there enough of a difference in 25 yard accuracy to justify the extra cost? I just bought my dream wadcutter gun, a smith and wesson model 14, and plan on shooting it quite a bit. I was planning on using Missouri bullet's 148 double ended was cutters.

I'm curious what the community at large considers a good number of rounds in a ladder test to develop accurate rounds both hand gun and rifle. I've seen people who said they load as few as 12 rounds which I think is crazy. My standard hand gun ladder tests consist of 100 rounds, 20 per powder...

I was hoping some of the seasoned guys could help me out. Much like the 586 and the 686, I wish Smith and Wesson made a 529 and a 629. My life would be so much easier. I am looking to find a blued model 29 in a six inch, full under lug, barrel to compliment or possibly replace my current six...

Does anyone use these? How well do they work? I've seen them but am very hesitant to run anything made of steel over my pretty rifling

So I just ordered my sample packs from Missouri Bullet Company (Huge thank you for the THR Discount!). Im looking to switch all my revolvers over to lead bullets. For my .357, I decided to try the 158 gn .357 Action and their 140 gn .357 Zinger. I am looking to push both these bullets to...

This is not a WTS or Ill Take it thread, paws off :evil: Anyway, I'm thinking of unloading my M1 Garand and getting out of 30-06 Entirely. Here's my reasoning. It's an interesting rifle, obviously it has the very cool historical aspect about it, but shooting it just doesn't do it for me like...

My new Starline .44 magnum brass was very hard to flare its first go through the press. Stuck like crazy despite cleaning and polishing the die. A simple solution I found is a quick turn or two of a chamfering tool inside the case mouth, smooths the flaring operation a lot. Hope this helps...

Ended up being about 200 dollars with shipping. 200 dollars for ANY gun these days is a steal, but to get a Colt from the days of craftsmanship and hand fitting can't be beat. So the bad. It's an old cop's side arm. Description suggests it is in fine mechanical condition with a nice bore. But...

Im having an issue with my Cylinder and Slide trigger. Once installed it completely stopped the gun from resetting if you kept the trigger depressed while you racked the slide I've read reviews online of people having other similar problems with the trigger. To the hi power owners out there...

Don't jump on me! I was wondering if anyone has ever had to dispose of an old firearm? Say something that's old and shot out, maybe the receiver is cracked, the barrel is rusted, etc. what would you do with such a firearm if you saw no more earthly value in it and just wanted to get rid of it...

I'm looking for a .44 magnum bullet I can bulk buy that can be pushed at moderate to upper end velocities. I've been playing with the 240 grain xtreme flat points but I'd like a bullet I can push a bit harder when I find some H110. Requirements -I do not cast, nor do I have interest in it...

Just hoping some of the more experienced guys could look over my load make sure I'm A-okay. First time loading 44 magnum. Bullet - 240 grain Xtreme plated Powder - Blue Dot Brass - Starline Primer - Win LPP Crimp - 3/4ths turn on Lee FCD COAL - 1.585 Powder charges, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0...
