    load for hollow base pistol bullet vs...

    I have a load for my 9mm pcc for steel challenge using titegroup and RMR 95gr FMJ bullets. Since they are so far behind they don't list those bullets on the site now. I see i can get some Berrys hollow base 100 gr bullets. Do I need to make any big adjustment for loading with hollow base vs flat...

    all us brass chickens

    Are clucking quietly now to ourselves. As I see the price of brass up high like everything else now I think of the teasing I got for being a brass chicken.

    Which powder for 95 gr bullet?

    I'm going to work up a load for a 95gr fmj bullet to shoot in my PCC with 14.5" barrel. I currently use 124 gr with WSF. I have a lot of WSF and 8 lbs of hp38 which I used to use. I'm just curious about trying that bullet weight. What do you guys recommend, the faster hp38 or slower WSF? Thanks...

    95 or 115 gr bullet?

    I just bought a Glock 43 (9mm). It's a tiny sub compact, 3.5" barrel for those not familiar with Glocks. I want to develop a light soft shooting fun load for playing around and an occasional IDPA bug match our club has. I'd like about a 100 power factor. I have 8pds of 231 and 2.5 pds of AA5 I'd...

    How to practice/improve stage planning?

    I can't think of a practical way to do this without just shooting at a lot of shoots. But maybe I'm missing something or someone has a little trick that helps them. I have read about coming up with a plan and visualizing it , etc., etc. But it's the coming up with that is my problem. With the...

    CF handguard on JP pcc--More dot bounce??

    I'm close to buying a cf handguard for my gmr-15. I know it allows for faster transitions but is there a trade-off of more dot bounce? I REALLY like how flat shooting this gun is but it just seems a bit front heavy. I don't want to jump out of the frying pan into the fire. Anyone with experience...

    Spent primers-Value??

    I seem to remember reading somewhere that people take used/spent primers to a salvage yard to sell them. I know it may vary by area but what do you get for them? Is it worth the trouble to save them? Do you have to do anything with them so they will take them? Thanks

    Hornady sonic 9l cleaner

    Who has one? how well does it work for cleaning an ar9 upper? Pros and cons? Any must have accessories? I hate cleaning guns so I'm thinking of buying one.

    Anyone have the Hornady long sonic cleaner?

    I just discovered this existed. It looks like an easy way to clean my pcc. BTW I dislike cleaning guns. But can you just drop the entire upper (minus any electronic stuff of course) into it and wait for it to clean it? How well does it work? What are the downsides to it? It's expensive, but if...

    How many in a 5 gal. bucket?

    Does anyone have a good idea of how many 9mm cases would be in a 5 gal bucket filled level to the top? I darn sure ain't gonna count'em. Thanks

    expected life of a competition gun

    For some of you who have shot competitions for several years, how long does your gun last before you consider it worn out? I shoot several shoots a month, one or more almost every weekend, and with some practice, I figure I shoot at least 1K rounds a month. I'm using a PPQ m2 5". I replaced the...

    AT same weight and charge will jackted and plated shoot the same?

    I've been using RMR 124 rn hc plated bullets exclusively. They are out right now and and what with the move and all I wasn't sure when more would be made, so I ordered their jacketed ones instead. But now I've been wondering if I will have to adjust my charge any. I wouldn't think so, but I...

    Using a wrist brace?

    All the "experts" say lock your wrist (gun hand) while shooting. This is something I really have trouble with. I can sort of do it when I am just slowly standing and shooting in practice. At least I THINK I can, I"m not even sure what IS a locked wrist. But when the buzzer goes off and you're...

    Will these two powders change poi with temp change?

    I have read here about how some powders change quite a bit with temp change but I never seem to know which ones. My two main powders are W231/hp38 and WSF. These are in 9mm with a 124 rn RMR plated bullet. Charges are 4.3 and 4.5 gr. respectively at 1.130 oal. I'm shooting uspsa and steel...

    Uspsa-accuracy vs time

    The more I shoot uspsa it seems to me that speed trumps accuracy. I really wish it was more even. If they simply increased alphas to 6 points, keeping all other rules the same, would that be better??

    decap pin for Lee die

    I bent my decap pin in my 9mm Lee resize die. I looked at a couple of of places to order another one but all I found was the universal decap pin. Is this the same thing, will it fit in my die? Also, a side question. I have the Hornady resize/decap die and I'm using that for now. It seems...

    Double check for a load 9mm

    I'm working up a load for the Hornady XTP 115 bullets I got when buying a lnl press. I'm using WSF. I searched and found one thread from 2009 and looked at the Hodgen/winchester site. The site said for jhp at 1.169, 5.2 to 5.7 gr. FMJ was 4.9 to 5.7. The old thread was 5.3 at 1.070. I plan on...

    Shooting from a rest to test pistol accuracy-How?

    That may be a dumb question, but I have trouble getting consistent testing groups. I have tried different techniques and I get different groupings even with the same loads. I have one of those rests from Caldwell that screws to raise or lower. If I rest the front of the barrel on it I have a...

    ? about roller handles from inline fab. for LNL ap

    I'm looking at the ERGO short roller handle from them but I have a question. If you're using it can you sit with the press between your legs and operate the press? It would be easier for me to be able to watch the powder level in the case as it comes around if I could be closer to the press and...

    Can I shoot steel shot in this

    I have a Browning auto 3" magnum which used to have a 32" full choke barrel. I think my dad got this gun sometime in the late 60's or early 70's. Some years back, probably around the early 80's before steel shot was required I had the barrel cut off to 24" I think, and choke tubes put in. Don't...
