There seems to be a consistent(?) 10 months approval timeline for eForm4, which is disheartening and encouraging at the same time. Had my expectations been to expect a year, and I got it in 10 months, I’d be jazzed. However, I was set up to expect much quicker approvals on eForms, and there does...

I'm finding nearly as much variability in primer experience as I do in brass selection for reloading. One loader's bane is another's favorite. I'm sure it has a lot to do with application and experience. One shooter despises Remington primers. I'd love to get more. Others only use CCI, while...

My wife has a large stainless frying pan. I used to dump my wet pins in there and stir fry them until dry. After a while I realized the waste of time, gas, and effort. I still dry the pins before storage, but I leave them in the bottom of my Hornady Media Separator, drop in a few paper towels...

I'm so glad that I didn't see this post as I would've been quite disappointed. However, I saw it today while seeking to update my situation. Today is truly a holiday...eForm4 Trust Submitted via LGS and Silencer Shop 15 July 2022; Approved 2 May 2023. It wouldn't have made a difference to have...

I bought these at Online Metals. 12” solid brass. Each just fits the lands in my 9mm, 40 S&W, or 45 Auto. I haven’t had to use them at the range, but I’ve stuck a few coated lead rounds trying to get the seating just right. Came in handy, that’s for sure. That nasty range experience was over...

He used something very similar to this. I remember thinking at the time - that point will likely drive straight through that soft bullet. Had I acted on my thought I could've limited the damge to the first gouge. Sadly, I was in shock...and did nothing. Following the destruction he said that...

These photos are from my Beretta 92FS barrel after allowing a range worker attempt to remove a squibbed 115gr FMJ bullet. Interestingly, I continued shooting this barrel for nearly 2 decades after the damage was done with NO noticeable impact on accuracy over normal indoor range distances. Yes...

I bought a number of solid brass rods in 0.3438" (9mm, 380 Auto), 0.375" (40 S&W), and 0.4375" (45 Auto) from Online Metals. They are each 12" long, suitable for all of my semi-auto pistols. I slight beveled the ends to make for easier entry into the muzzle. These rods just fit their respective...

The firing pin, as well as the firearm itself, is pure factory. In the case of this particular firearm, I started it's life on factory ammo...various flavors...Magtech, Winchester, Herter's, and Fiocchi, the four non-self-defense ammos in stock at Cabela's that day. 135gr to 180gr and the...

I didn't think anyone was paying attention. Thanks!

As with many others I picked up 3 bricks of the SyA primers and made up some 40 S&W ammo. Made it to the range for the first time this year. No excuses. Anyway, I brought 2 of my 40s with me for testing. My Springfield EMP and my new Taurus TH40C. The test rounds were really good, accurate, very...

I'd recommend you keep that information quiet, shared only with your best friends. Primers here in Ohio are running $90 and up per brick. Nowhere close to pre-Covid levels. In fact, prices have gone up since November when I picked up several bricks for under $80 each. The internet has had the...

In my experience and reading, CCI primers are harder than other domestics. Federal the softest. Lots of folks use a pocket uniformer. I don't. I try not to do anything that takes meat off the primer pockets. It's why I swage small rifle pockets rather than cut out the crimp. More meat makes me...

and...Hornady has restarted their "Free Bullets" program.

8 months and counting. Meanwhile, they've declared my braced pistol, the intended firearm for my can, illegal.

It may not help with your concern, but the Hornady 11th app shows a max charge of 16.0gr for 1250 fps. The starting load remains 12.4gr and 1000 fps.

It could be helpful to remember that the Aguila plant in Cuernavaca, MX was originally established by Remington in 1961. Over the years they have put out excellent products, that were originated ny Remington...especially in rimfire cartridges. It also helps that the location is really...

As I mentioned, Universal poses no issues at all from my FA Intellidropper. Before that I was getting as much as 1gr variations. I've gone back a few times to try it out in a manual dispenser, just testing to see if it was a clumping issue. I don't bother any longer. In fact, there are few...

I'm sure liking all this love for Universal. I had never shot it when I bought 2 8# jugs for around $75 ea. I immediately grew to hate it as I couldn't drop consistent loads from my Hornady dropper. After multiple. failed devices to avoid hand-dipping each round I bought an Intellidropper...

We'll see. In the end, if 6.5 Grendel is not available, and I've been looking for months, then this is the next best option. I tried to form 7.62x39 and ended up with a belted case...same as when Johnny's Reloading attempted to go straight to 6mm ARC. He was successful sizing to 6.5 Grendel...
