I prefer a 185 gr. 45 caliber bullet traveling at 1100 fps as my SD round. That velocity, depending on temperature, puts the bullet in the supersonic realm with the attendant sonic boom. The maximum velocity loading for the 230 gr. bullet is approximately 980 fps and will not go supersonic in...

Have you seen the "Super Shorty"? I can think of several useful legal applications and because it is an AOW the transfer fee is only $5 ! Does anyone have any experience with it or the manufacturer? What uses would you have for it? Serbu Firearms (Tampa, FL) Super Shorty Choice of Rem...

I am going to have cataract surgery and after a long and arduous consultation with my ophthalmologist I had to strike a compromise that will reduce my near vision somewhat. I will not be wearing glasses for SD shooting. For my carry gun I want fast acquisition sights for all distances out to...

Buffalo Police to Confiscate Guns from Families of Dead Relatives Posted on November 15, 2014 by Dave Jolly I’ve often told people that it pays to find out what laws are still on the books in your city, county and state. You never know when some liberal will find an archaic law that has...

Can a rifle chambered in .22 Hornet (.224) be re-chambered to a .221 Fireball? Thanks for any direction.

Back a while ago if you wanted to shoot .22s, you had to take what you could get. For me that meant no hollow points. I found no difference in killing power on squirrels up to 75 yards with round nose and hollow point ammo. What has been your experience out to 75 yards and beyond?

I have residences in Alabama and Mississippi and both States passed laws permitting open carry (actually Mississippi’s law clarifies what was already on the books). I have yet to see anyone in either States' urban or rural areas open carrying. Do you do it regularly, not as a stunt, or...

According to some of the threads I've read, my SD ammo (Federal Hydra Shok) is antiquated in cold climates because heavy clothing will clog the bullet's hollow cavity and stop it from expanding. Hornady supposedly has solved the problem with their FlexLock™ bullet ("eliminates clogging and...

When I knew very little about rifle reloading, a friend recommended that I use small base dies for ammo to be used in my AR-15. I’ve been using them for many years apparently without a problem. I am going to buy another set of .223 dies to be used at another location and I was wondering...

I have Lyman’s 3rd and 4th editions of their Shotshell Reloading Handbook and there is no help there. Of the several powder company data manuals I have, only the Lee-Hodgdon manual had loads for the AA type hulls and the RXP type hulls using Int’l Clays powder. Since I would prefer to use...

A friend, who doesn’t reload, just bought a house and found several thousand brass cases (mostly .45 acp and .40 S&W) in his shed and he asked me to come over and pick them up. Unfortunately, rats had made a nest in them and rat poop was everywhere. My concern is that rats are filthy animals...

The best I’ve ever done was to win B Class in IPSC/USPSA several times, so I think I’m a reasonably good shooter. However, I have never really been able to shoot the Beretta 92 or 96 worth a flip. The best I can figure is that maybe it’s the clunky grip that’s throwing me off, but I’m not...

I'm going to be new to hunting with a .22lr rifle and I wanted to get some opinions on what would be the optimal sighting in range for point blank shooting ( + or - one inch???) using either the CCI Standard Velocity or CCI Mini-Mag 40gr. solid .22s. I really don't see any advantage in using...

If want ammo that absolutely has to function safely and properly and you want to avoid the possibility of bullet set back, do you think that bullet sealant would prevent that from happening? PS - Even though you can use this information for reloading, this is not a reloading question, but...

What is the cause of a "DARK BORE"? Is it safe to shoot with full power cartridges? Will it wear out faster than a normal bore?

About 12 years ago I bought 1000 bulk Golden Sabre 185gr bullets for my .45ACP. Around the same time I also bought 1000 Gold Dot 185gr boxed bullets also for my .45ACP. What would be your preference of these two for a SD/HD load? Any pro or con reason would also be appreciated.

I have a lot of 55gr FMJ bullets that I would like to load into an M1 Carbine case using a sabot. Has anyone done this or into any other .30 caliber case? This is new territory for me and I could use some direction… thanks!

What is the waiting time for the BATFE to approve a 5320.20 request? Thanks for a heads up..... Sabe

I saw the Lee base plate (kit photo: http://www.amazon.com/Lee-Precision-Bench-Plate-Steel/dp/B008B3GXVI) & (video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw9ctIRr2Qsfor) for their presses and I liked the idea as an easy way to save space on my already crowded bench. After looking at the dimentions...
