    Difference between Model 3 and BR-30?

    Thanks guys will do. My current setup drops 5g of HS6 consistently even without a screw put in the metering "handle". This is great for 9mm but is terrible now that I want to start .380

    Difference between Model 3 and BR-30?

    I received a Redding powder measure from a member here a while ago, and need to pick up a new metering chamber for it. I am not sure which model I have. Are there any major identifying marks to look for?

    M&P shield in 45acp or 9mm

    I have shot 9 and 40 but not the 45 yet. The shield is just a recoil tamer, I have yet to hear of anyone complain about the recoil of 45 from one. It will most likely be my next purchase. Either way you go you really can not lose.

    Appreciation

    Huge +1. Almost finished with my first pound of HS-6. I have had and I am sure will continue to have a lot of questions, which have been graciously answered. Now If I can talk my LGS into ordering more powder.

    Redding powder measure help

    I received a Redding powder measure from a fellow member a while back, and I am not 100% sure on the model number. The screw is not the correct one for it and it will only throw ~5gr of HS 6 even with the screw out of it. Is it something wrong with the chamber where I can just clean it out or...

    Favorite 380 load

    My wife finally figured out what she likes in a pistol, both for range use and carry. (typical woman she wants 2 separate non-compatible things.) For concealment she wants an uber small pocket rocket. She really dug the TCP they had at the shop. So a TCP or LCP will most likely follow me home...

    Refinishing pistol. Question

    An FEG HP should have enough slop worn in to not be a problem.

    9mm powder problems?

    It may be, It functions great however although I did have 1 light primer strike that I attribute to not fully seating the primer. Fired when I fed it back into the gun. Recoil was about on par with WWB and I only noticed "smoke" on 1-2 out of the 80 I fired yesterday.

    Romanian Tt-33

    If factory and handloads both have issues I would say time to replace the extractor. Sarco should have the part.

    9mm powder problems?

    I have been using 5.4gn of HS-6 @ 1.16 for plain lead. Is that pretty close to what you loaded to?

    9mm plunk/oal?

    Ohihunter, I load mine a hair long at around 1.16-1.17 IF the shape of the bullet allows. I had some with a very pronounced rim the I had to load super short 1.05 in order to plunk or even feed in my Sig. So just remember if you change bullet shape/design to re-plunk.

    LCP II - the sequel by Ruger

    I like it .. in theory. This makes my short list of potential next purchases. This or a BERSA right now only because 2 G42's is a bit cost prohibitive are my 2 at the top until I have a chance to shoot them side by side My wife works in an NPE but travels places where even the angels carry...

    Barnes TTS bullet vs. bone

    6.8 mm 85 gr tsx @ 3000 fps loaded by SSA completely blew the far shoulder out of a suitcase doe at 30 yards. (So same diameter close to the same velocity with almost double the bullet weight) Little chunks of flesh decorated the bush behind where the deer had been standing. I could literally...

    125gr Thundercast loads

    My BIL and I went halves on a 1k box, finances were tighter than we would like but are turning around. I enjoy working on loads so will keep experimenting on different bullets. I eventually want to start casting my own, and just buying XTP's for carry. That being said I plan on picking up some...

    125gr Thundercast loads

    ok so I started with 5.5 gn of HS6 @ 1.125 then went as far as 1.14 COL. They shoot great, feed and function fine but are rather smoky. Do I need to go closer to the max load (6.3 iirc at work so don't have my Lyman chart handy). Or is this just lube burnoff therefore par for the course with...

    125gr Thundercast loads

    Thanks dudedog, right now HS 6 is all I have, so it is what I will be using. I will have to tweak my powder measure just a hair, I am currently throwing 5.2 grains for a 110 grain load. Sent from my KFTHWI using Tapatalk

    125gr Thundercast loads

    Just ordered 1k thundercast TC projos from RMR for 9. Does anyone have a good recipe for loading these using HS6? and does the truncated cone shape affect necessary COL. I have a few loads available for lead rounds just making sure shape does not affect the major parameters. (I am still a NEWB)

    Deer rifle for 12 year old

    a lot of that is proper fit, If a gun doesn't fit right even a "light" recoil to you or me might be painful to the non fitted shooter. I had an old Moisin Nagant that out of my friends I was the only one who didn't feel it kicked like a mule, I was also the only one who could put rounds on...
