The inventory app that I have used for years is no longer supported by the developer. So I need a new one. I only use it for my gun inventory. I don’t need ammo inventory or range reports or ballistics information, etc. I’m not adverse to buying the app but I don’t want an ongoing payment...

Sorry, double post.

My 629-3 has a target trigger that is sharply serrated and will irritate or cut my trigger finger depending on how much I shoot. I don’t want to “de-burr” it as I want to keep it original. I have a smooth trigger that I acquired years ago and I would like to use it on this gun, but most of my...

My Pact digital scale has started to get “drifty” and I am looking to replace it. On my retirement budget I have limitations. So I need to keep it under $200. I want to stay with a digital scale if possible. I need something dependable that doesn’t drift off zero every few minutes. Please...

Most of the more recent reloading data that I see gives pressure data in PSI (pounds per square inch), but a lot of the published data is in CUP (copper units of pressure). I know that PSI uses a strain gage and CUP uses a copper crush disk, but is there any way to correlate the two results...

I’m having trouble finding “moderate “ .44mag loads for 255 grain “Keith” lswc bullets. I don’t want to go below the starting loads listed but most of the data I have starts at ~ 1100 FPS. But I have found several different loads in .44Spl. that I like. Would there be any problems with...

A fellow shooter recently sold me 500 rounds of .357 brass. While cleaning and inspecting it I noticed that the majority of it was CBC and PMC headstamp. I don’t have any experience with either of these brands and wondered if they are quality brass. I load some pretty hot .357 loads and...

Recently purchased a lightly used S&W model 60-15, 3” .357. Had a few handling “beauty marks “ but all minor. Took it o the range to try different loads. It shot to POA with factory.357 ammo, but there was always a “flier”. I thought it was probably me as full house .357 mags in a 3” J-frame...

Oops! Did I post this in the wrong place? Is so, please move. I just got another S&W model 60 and the DA trigger is Very heavy. It’s fairly smooth, just heavy. I understand that the standard weight mainspring is 8.5#, but the only replacement springs I can find are 8#. That doesn’t seem...

Looking for a link to the 2005 Handloader Magazine article by Brian Pierce on .44 special loads. My computer died recently and I lost some data, including this article. I have seen it before but can’t find it now! All help is appreciated! Ken

To remedy the 15 lbs + double action trigger pull on my S&W model 69. 2.75" revolver, I installed a Wolff level 2 mainspring. I started getting light strikes. Since this will be in my EDC rotation I immediately put the original spring back. To my surprise and frustration I am still getting...

I have a 550C and am considering a Dillon case feeder to simplify the reloading process. (No I don't want to upgrade to a 650.) Those of you who have or had a casefeeder, let's have your thoughts. Pros/Cons Reliable? Worth the money? Too finicky? Anything else out there that would work...

I have used a few different ones in the past but have never been satisfied with their accuracy or repeatability. Before I tackle a couple of trigger jobs I need to get a better one. I know there are lots of people on here that lots of experience, so I need some advice. Who's the best? Thanks!

I recently purchased a S&W model 15-8. It has the MIM hammer and trigger. I want to know if it is possible to change out the MIM parts for standard steel parts. Before I buy the replacement parts, I thought I would check with the experts here to see if it is do-able. If it's possible I will...

I have a S&W 629-3 6" that has just over 1.5K round through it. About half were LSW handloads and half were factory JHP. I have started to notice that the back side of the locking notches on the cylinder are starting to show some peening and there is a small raised burr on the back edge of...

I have a S&W Model 64-5 that is factory DAO. I want to convert it to DA/SA as I like to use SA some times. Can I replace the DA hammer with a standard hammer or will it require replacing the hammer and trigger? Or is there any reason that this cannot be done?

I have a handgun that was given to me some time ago. It is a Beretta? .380 semiauto with a 3.25" barrel. The magazine holds 7 rounds, single stack, and has a pronounced extension at the bottom. There are no markings on the pistol except for the serial no. G191XX on the right side of the...

I have a Springfield Ultra Compact V10 in .45acp. I have had the gun for several years and I like it. It functions reliably and is a good belt carry gun. The one thing I don't like is the ported barrel. The muzzle blast is really bad and it is impossible to see after the first shot in low...
