I have an older S&W model 19 that has been in the back of my safe for a number of years. I took it out yesterday and shot it. Such a nice trigger and so accurate with light loads I wonder why I’ve neglected it. Went to clean it this morning and found a lot of carbon or gunpowder residue filling...

I have been using my Dillon press for about 40 years with no problems. Mine have the black ball as the grip. I continue to see more and more pictures of Dillons with the handle as the grip. My question is what is the advantage of the handle vs the ball. This doesn’t apply only to Dillon presses.

I have been buying pistol primers, both large and small at our local Sportsman’s Warehouse for the past year or so with very little interruptions. For a while I was limited to 200 at a time, but with my wife with me we got enough to keep me busy. Then they opened it up to 1000 at a time and I...

We are leaving for the airport for a two week vacation in about 3 hours. I wanted to finish reloading a batch of 9MM loads I left unfinished from last night. My wife came out just now and asked if I will smell like a bomb maker when I hit TSA. Boy do I feel stupid, never thought of that. I’ve...

With Dave at Precision Bullets slowly closing his doors this year, where will you be going for your cast bullets? I’ve always found his bullets to be excellent and shipped very quickly. Seems he is another victim of COVID. His supply chain is not able to keep up. I hope you will support him as...

My grandkids asked me to make up a couple of hundred .38 Special using my old 2.3 grains of Trail Boss load. They love shooting our small J frames. I haven’t used Trail Boss for a couple of years but have a couple of pounds in the closet. I use a Dillon Square Deal for these loads. After...

I was looking at an old Wilson Combat pistol that a neighbor has the other day. It’s about 12 years old. I saw the test target sent with the pistol and since I had all of the ingredients I tried their test load and found it very accurate. It was a .45 ACP 200 grain #68 LSWC bullet and 4.5 grain...

Our daughter is getting started in law enforcement. A friend of hers just showed her the boot knife that she carry's at work. I would like to get her something she could actually use at work. For those of you in this field, what would you suggest? She has carried a small SAK forever and is very...

I have the TruGlo Bright Site Tritium/Fiber Optic sights on my Glock 22. The front sight has fallen out and I need to replace it. Can someone please tell me which rod I need? I've tried their site, but couldn't find it. I admit to being computer challenged. Thanks

I found a box of 5000 CCI large pistol primers while looking for something else in my garage. I normally use Winchester primers while reloading on my Dillon Square Deal. I started with some Winchester brass but could not seat the primers fully in most attempts. I then tried some Speer, Federal...

I have a friend who has been reloading for about a year. He has 100 rounds of 357 Mag brass that he has CCI magnum primers already in them. He wants to try 3 grains of Bullseye with 148 grain wadcutters. He asked me if the magnum primers will cause a problem. I can't think of one, but I...

My grandson likes the sound of a pump shotgun. So do, but I normally shoot one of my 20 gauge double barreled shotguns. My father-in-law gave me an old Winchester 97 in 16 gauge about 40 years ago. It had a few problems so it has sat in the safe ever since. I took it to our gunsmith to get...

I was reloading a couple of hundred 45 ACP cases when my wife stopped and asked me "when do you stop reloading?" I just said "when I'm done." I have been reloading since 1971 when a friend introduced me to the hobby. I only do handgun ammo as I finally don't hunt anymore. I have plenty of...

What am I doing wrong? I use walnut shells and corn cob in my Lyman vibrator with Nu Polish car wax. Nice gold cases come out extremely clean, but the gold color has turned to a dull yellow. I found an old ammo can that had cleaned. 45 ACP brass in it that I cleaned back in the 1980s that were...

My grandson and I have been working on. 38 Special wadcutter loads. We are using Summers DEWCBB lead bullets. I'm using 2.8 grains of Bullseye and he is using 2.3 grains of Trail Boss. I always insert the sprue cut end in the case. He says it doesn't matter and just grabs a bullet and inserts...

I have an older TRP. It has always had problems not staying open after the last round is fired. I sent it back to Springfield and they told me there were no issues found and yet the problem persists. That was about 5 years ago. Sometimes the slides does stay open. I've used Wilson, Tripp, Ed...

I've had some problems with my Ruger PC 9. In every magazine I end up with at least one failure to eject. Also, the forearm screw loosens up by the end of each trip to the range. Last Wednesday I called Ruger and discussed the problems with them. No problem, send it back and they will look at...
