    magnum small pistol primer and blue dot

    FWIW My Wife liked Blue Dot w/124s in her 9mm right up until she swapped over to Unique & 147s. Try it.

    Yard/garage/estate sale finds.

    Just a couple of weeks ago I purchased 2k small rifle primers at the local flea market at $50/K Pretty good I thought

    What firearm fired today?

    I called in "sick" yesterday & took my Mrs. to the range :neener: My Sig P226X5 and my Glock 35 performed flawlessly. My Kimber remains the most hated loved 10mm in the safe. It continues to be problematic, but I take it out anyways.

    Can you Identify this Cast Bullet?

    Y'all don't think the .360" diameter might be a smidge big for 9mm?

    10mm platform, which and why?

    ^^ That's pretty sexy, right there! ^^

    10mm loads with RMR 180gn, my experience

    ^^ I like that Longshot gave you an extreme spread of only 35 FPS. All other things being equal, I would use that & start changing up crimp & COAL & find out what it does. Shoot safe & have fun!

    Ruger LC9s as good as a S&W Shield 9mm?

    No homerboy. It wasn't the hammer fired model. It was the striker fired one and I hated it. Not even sure why I bought it. Trigger was long, sloppy and gritty, if that makes sense. The shield trigger isn't great, but mine is much better than the Ruger was. It keeps getting better with age too.

    Old Reloader ... New to 9x19

    Very versatile powders those you mention

    Starting to reload 357sig

    If I might, consider an extended & compensated barrel for the maximum effect. The longer barrel obviously provides the higher velocity & compensator keeps muzzle rise to a minimum.

    Old Reloader ... New to 9x19

    I have made her some to try, and she didn't show it any love. She likes her Unique and 147 grain bullets

    45 acp and hs6

    My notes reflect 7.5 grains of HS6, a coal of 1.23 and 807 FPS average out of my P220. I have grown quite fond of WST lately for target loads in 40 & 45

    Starting to reload 357sig

    9X25 Dillon has a longer neck. But it's a pretty ridiculous cartridge I shoot just for fun!

    10mm loads with RMR 180gn, my experience

    I have been reloading 10mm for a few years. It will launch the brass down the road. My favorite to date is a 180 FMJ or JHP with 9 grains of Longshot. Good for about 1275 out of my Kimber. Out of curiosity, I tried some 155s, & didn't get much satisfaction out of it. Ended the experiment. Next...

    Ruger LC9s as good as a S&W Shield 9mm?

    I have had both the LC9s & the shield 9 in the safe. The shield is the only one still there. My Ruger had a horrible trigger & was sold off. My shield is still in the safe & is on my list of carry guns. I enjoy shooting the shield from time to time. I never liked shooting the Ruger. just my .02

    Old Reloader ... New to 9x19

    My wife is the 9mm shooter in the house, and of your choices, she prefers Unique above everything else in the powder locker. Over the years she has gone from HS6 to Blue Dot and now Unique. I think I made her some with WST also, but she still likes Unique.

    Thoughts on the 10mm Auto

    Congratz spraay, I would love to have a Delta Elite! I have a 10mm Kimber, as it's on our roster here in California. I have found that my 10mm 1911 is more content when it's fed truncated cone bullets. It seems to always lock the slide back early on RNFP designs. Keep your loads reasonable &...

    357 sig......tell me more

    I'm a fan. I like the 357 Sig plenty. I can swap between 40 & 357 in 2 Sigs & 1 Glock. Another Glock does 10mm & 9X25 Dillon. It's like a big brother to the 357 Sig

    Starting to reload 357sig

    Watch out for neck tension, or lack of it. The portion of the brass that holds the bullet isn't very long, & bullet set-back is common. Use as little belling as you can get away with. Enjoy & shoot safe. It's a fun round to shoot.
