    Mec-Gar 1911 9mm magazines

    Anyone else have a problem getting all 10 cartridges in the 10 round 1911 9mm magazines? My OEM Rock Island 10 round magazine refuses to let the 10 th round load, in fact it doesn’t particularly like the 9th round either. My Brownell’s brand magazines work pretty well.

    Scam sites?

    Been looking for some 8208 XBR powder and a couple sites popped up that seem too good to be real. One is Midwestreloads in Harlan, Iowa they have like 700 8# jugs of 8208 in stock for like $240 and free shipping. No CC payment just Venmo or similar. IMRstore is another site that has 8# jugs for...

    Scope for my RWS Diana 54 22.

    My old Leapers 3x9 pooped the roost today. Can’t get it any closer than 11-1/2” high and 2-1/2” left at 50’. Not that familiar with scopes for springers, what should I be looking for to replace the Leapers?

    280 Ross.

    After sprucing up the gun and handloading room, I again ran across an unfinished project that I’ve had on a cold back burner for a while. I have a friends 280 Ross Straight pull rifle that needs some load development. I bought dies from CH4D several, well quite a few, years back. I’ve formed...

    Lyman # 17 globe sight.

    I bought a used Remington 521-T that has a globe front sight that I suspect is a Lyman #17 but have no way to tell for sure. I had new a 521-T back in the late’50s but it had what I think is known as a partridge sight on it along with the Lyman aperture micrometer rear sight. There are insert...

    Corroded cases

    Has anyone else had similar issues with VIhtaVuori powder? Only suggesting VV Powder because that’s the only common denominator in the issue. I’ve got a few hundred loaded rounds of 22/250 loaded with both N-140 and N-150 and a friend has a bunch of 220 Swift loaded with N-160 that have turned...

    AMT Lightning

    This is a copy of the Ruger 22 pistol and I would like an extra magazine or two. I didn’t realize there were so many versions of Ruger 22 pistols. Original, MK I? MKll, III, IV, and then the IV 45. It looks like the first model is just a 9 round magazine, the rest are 10 rounders but...

    Difference between the Jacketed bullet and lead bullet suppressor that come with the S & W XVR.

    Curious what real difference there is in shooting lead bullets through the jacketed bullet suppressor and vice-versa? Do lead bullets shave off or keyhole through the jacketed suppressor? What happens when you shoot jacketed bullets through the lead bullet suppressor, accuracy goes to pot...

    400 Corbon

    Found a great deal on conversation barrels for the 400 Corbon for the 1911, like I needed another chambering to load for. My son and I both got one anyway. As I expected load data is sparse. Any recommendations on specific load data or sources? I’ve got many different powders and about 4...

    Strength of Vaquero

    If I recall correctly Ruger made a heavier version of the Vaquero when it first hit the market, more like a Blackhawk with fixed sight. Mine wouldn’t hit a 5 gal bucket 4 out of 6 shots on bags off a bench at 50 yd. I took it to a gun show and came home with a 4-5/8” barrel Blackhawk...
