I bought a Model 64 that was an Austrian Customs Police trade-in off GB a few years ago. It needed some external polishing, but it had evidently hardly seen any firing--live or dry. I take it to the range nearly every single time I go, no matter what else I intend to shoot. I really enjoy...

When the 380 is a nice Beretta 84 or 85.

HP38 is normally my go-to powder for handguns. My .380 loads of 3.2 grains HP38 with 100-grain Berry's Plated RN were accurate, but also fairly dirty. Then I switched to Green Dot, which also shoots well in the handgun calibers I load. My load of 2.9 grains was very accurate, but it left the...

Like bds says, Green Dot (intended as a shotshell powder) is a fine substitute for W231/HP-38. I suspect it's also more readily available. In fact, I now prefer Green Dot over the other for 9mm and .38 Special. I've also shot it successfully in .380 ACP and .40 S&W. When I get time, I plan...

Thanks for advising us. I just ordered two.

The Browning website continues to show a variety of Buckmarks in production, but I haven't seen any for sale in years (well before the current panic), except for a Camper model here and there. Do they only make a few a year?

For my home-cast 95-grain lead bullets, I used 3.4-3.6 grains of Win231/HP-38 successfully. It was a mild load and fairly accurate.

My buddy's LCP had repeated stovepipes and failures to feed with PMC ammo. I witnessed it with my own eyes. After a few stovepipes, we put in some of my 20-year-old Federal American Eagle white box (anybody remember those?) and had no problems. We began alternating mags of my ammo and his...

I love them. I have had no misfires after about 1,500 rounds. I HAVE had misfires with Winchester.

There are two entries for Primer, Cap Type in the 49CFR, one for class 1.1 and the other for class 1.4. The large/small pistol primers and large/small rifle primers are 1.4. As freakshow10mm and others have noted, shipping primers or powder requires strict adherence to DOT and FAA...

Here's the 64 I just bought off GunBroker. It's a re-import from the Austrian Customs Police. Total cost was $285. It shoots very well. I'll be shooting it again in the morning. In fact, it'll get a lot of rounds through it over the next couple of years.

I've got a CZ 82, in which I have shot cast bullets that I cast from the LEE 365-95-1R mould, I believe it is. It's a lead round nose bullet. I'm woefully short on 9x18 brass, so I've only shot about 50 rounds of cast through it. There was no leading. I had no sizing die for that size, so I...

solvability, I got the humor and enjoyed it. schmeky, I agree with you. In my brief 2 years of reloading experience, I've found W231/HP-38 to be a great powder for my paper-punching. I'm using it for 357/38, 9mm, and 9x18. My loads range from powder puff to fairly warm. In fact, I just...

All right, here's the correct link to explain that the Improved Loaders neck size only, while the Unitized Loaders full-length resize. Scroll down to page 5 of the magazine (which is page 4 of the PDF file) and look at the ad on the right-hand side of the page. You can find both kinds under...

Vacek, The unitized loaders do, indeed, full-length resize. The old Lee company, Lee Custom Engineering, later was reincorporated as Mequon Reloading Corporation. Back then, they upgraded the traditional loaders with two versions--the Improved (neck resize and additional hand priming system)...

philbo, PM sent. Thanks. bobotech, i've done that, too. This time, i got a little too anxious about getting it.

I confess. I succumbed to the pressure--for awhile. My first and last bidding war. eBay just had a Lee Loader in .32 ACP listed. I waited till the last day (yesterday) to bid. Price had stayed around $20 or so, until I jumped into the fray. Was willing to pay around $30+S/H. Ended up...

I'm a little jealous. I've been wanting a #2 scale for a couple of years. However, there's nothing wrong with my old #1 scale that I bought used. My scale is oil-dampened rather than magnetic-dampened like yours will be. Floydster's got it right! Keep what you have if it works. Use the...

I agree with rcmodel. I have been meaning to contact Hodgdon regarding the data they show on their website for 148 HBWC in 38 and 357. Looks like they have the powder amounts for W231 reversed on their website for this bullet. Like you, something vague, I have begun shooting only 357 brass in...

Yeah, I was thinking it was a little higher than average. The problem for us folks in rural areas, at least in this case, is that there are few Lipsey dealers around. Heck, there are few gun dealers around. That means we either pay the high prices or, as in my case, we sit tight and wait...
