    Reloading the .380

    Soon after Christmas I was gifted a S&W Bodyguard. Ammo is scarce, so I decided to reload . It took about a month to get a Lee 4 die set. I got 500 mixed brass online at Capital Cartridge. I have CCI #500 small pistol primers and Tite Group and Win 231powder. Then I got 500 plated 95 grain...

    Rem Model 31 Problem

    A guy at the range that I shoot gave me a Rem Model 31 in 12 gauge to look at and see why it would only take 1 round in the magazine tube. I removed the barrel, and removed the knurled barrel tightening piece. I expected to see a wooden plug that limited the magazine to 1 shell because it was a...

    Pyrodex Powder

    I was "cleaning" up under my reloading bench yesterday, and found a full container of PYRODEX powder and a 1/2 full container. They were bought between 1976 and the early 1980's when I bought my TC Renegade 54 cal. rifle ,and had the cardboard or fiber can sides. The question is, can it still be...

    Berry's 185 Grain Hollow Base Roundnose Bullets

    I have 4 boxes of these Berry's 185 Gr HBRN bullets. I sold my S&W M&P Compact in 45 ACP, and it loved these bullets. I bought a Remington 1911 R1 Carry model, and I tried 3 different loads, it didn't like any of them. I was loading Win 231, the same as for my M&P. Terrible "patterns" not...

    Dirty Mec Shot Bottles

    I have a problem with 2 of my Mec shot bottles being so discolored from the lead shot, I can barely see the level. How can they be cleaned. I don't know if it is from the shot, or the shot coating. Also I have a part bag of #8 and #9 shot that when you pour them into the shot bottles there is a...

    Old Win AA hulls verses New Win AA HS hulls

    I know that this subject probably has been beaten to death, BUT is there any difference in the reloading data used for these two hulls ??? I see that the HS hull has a clear plastic reinforcing (??) area added to the bottom of the shell hull. Does this change the volume of the bottom of the hull...

    Best Powder for Clay Shooting

    Years ago I was a sub for a Trap team. I shot Red Dot in a Rem 870. I still have the 870, but shoot Sporting with an older 1100. Red dot was dirty, and the 870 being a pump did not have to be cleaned as much as I feel the 1100 would now with Red Dot. So with all of the new powders for shotguns...

    Rem 1100 fail to feed

    It all started last year at the end of pheasant hunting trip to South Dakota. I would have a fail to feed after shooting my second shot. This year I had fail to feed issue after my first shot. Luckily I only needed one shot most of the time. The "O" ring on the magazine tube was changed at the...

    Reloading the .32 Remington

    I have a Remington Model 14 Pump in 32 Remington Auto. I am trying to get a load for MBC 170 grain Hi-Tek coated bullets with .321 diameter. They are listed for the 32-40 cartridge, but should work in the Rem .32 which also is .321 dia. I loaded them with data for regular copper hunting...

    32 Remington Help

    I have a Rem Model 14 pump in 32 Rem Caliber. I have the dies and brass, but can not find the correct bullets. The Hornady 165 FTX and 170 Flat Nose have the cannelure in the wrong location for crimping. The distance from the tip or meplat is too long. The Speer 170 HCFN has a cannelure close to...
