I don't like the front heavy feel of my G40, although it does compensate for muzzle flip from the G20. I found my RIA ultra 1911 better balanced, but I wish I could shoot it better... Hands down the best feeling pistol if ever shot is a SIG P220 4.5? (.75) in .45 ACP that my buddy let me...

Oh, and then there's this guy... He was hanging out under my FIL stand.

We're shotgunning in Massac county (very southern Illinois) this weekend. Thursday afternoon as we were setting up stands, we ran up on a buck chasing 2 does. He wasn't even paying us any attention. We saw lots of big deer, including some nice bucks at dusk. Fast forward to Friday morning, my...

When I first bought my 10mm, Midway had S&B 50 round boxes for about $14. The loads are pretty anemic, but hey, cheap brass. When I started reloading the brass, I noticed that the primer pockets were tight, there was almost a crimp around the top of the pocket. I didn't have a swage or a...

I loaded my first 2000+ RMR 124gr FMJs with 4.3 grains Bullseye at 1.125 at just under 1000fps. It fit all my 9mms, was accurate and economical. I tried other powders Power Pistol, BE-86, and Win 231, but really liked Bullseye. I picked up an 8lb of BE-86 that I was using for 40sw and...

I've used SnS casting coated 230gr RN without a groove for over 2 years.. Love em. They're cheap, available, and accurate. I don't think that 2 of my .45s have ever seen a factory round. .45s are the perfect cartridge to try a coated bullet on. Slow enough not to worry about the coating, big...

I like BE-86 and Blue dot.. I've tried Longshot, Power Pistol, they just don't preform as well for me. Longshot shines in a .40 with a 165 gr. projectile though. Power pistol flattens primers quite a bit in the upper range. I have yet to try any AA#7 or #9, though I want to. Just my $.02..

It happens.. When you decide that you like guns, and want to own guns, you go on a spree and just buy. Then you'll settle down when you realize that not all firearms are created equal. You'll regret a purchase or 2, but at that point you'll have an idea what you really want. And that is the...

I use our left over cat litter buckets with the red flip top lids. I don't know that the lids are actually "sealed", but the do hold a lot of pistol brass. I don't sort pistol brass, so it all mixed HS. Now that I've started loading a few rifle calibers, I've noticed the need for smaller...

I bought a barely used 550 with some trimmings from a buddy and I found that the Eliminator scale was missing the tray hanger. I couldn't find the part on their website, so I gave them a call. The gentleman on the other end told me to ship the entire scale to them and they would get the hanger...

Has always metered well for me, in all of my measures. Lee auto disc, Dillon, and RCBS.

I ordered a Rock 10 ultra over their 12 days of Christmas sale. Received it quickly. I've got zero complaints. As a matter of fact, I check their website quite often. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.

New to me Beretta M9 Canik TPS9 elite Browning Hi Power Rock Island Tac Ultra 10mm For the first time in a while, I made it out to the range today. I've been loading some 9mm for the past week, so I took a couple hundred of my older 9mm rounds out. I also took the 10mm for a little fun...

I'd like to 2nd SNS casting.. fast ship and I love their coated 230gr RN. So much so that I'm getting a custom seating stem made by RCBS. Give them a try! https://www.snscasting.com/

I've went through a couple 1 lb jugs of Bullseye while loading 9mm. It's my go to for paper punching. It's a little dirty, but it's cheap and effective. 4.2 grains behind an RMR 124 grain FMJ is an accurate, almost 1000 fps load for me. However, I picked up an 8lber of BE-86 and that's going...

I bought the 8lber because I liked the powder in 10mm and .40. it's pretty versatile as well, plenty of data for 9mm and .45acp. Not too bad in 45 colt either!

They were very stout loads out of my glock 40. I think a 6inch barrel may have a bit to do with that. I have since changed the sights on the glock as well.. ooohh, now I'm excited. I did find myself shooting the 1911 a lot more last spring, though.. Either way, I go is fine. Now I want to...

I've kind of forgotten about that post, actually. I've since gotten a chronograph, but I was out of BE-86 for a while and hadn't chrono'd it. I have since gotten a 8lb jug of it, but I want to thin out the herd of older, usable powders first, so it is still unopened. Longshot and power pistol...

The base bulge on a .40s&w does seem to be more often and more noticeable than on .45acp and 9mm. Definitely look into the Lee bulge buster, it will make loading .40's much less of a headache. I like to tumble my brass then immediately run them through the bulge buster. They might not all...

Gumout carburetor cleaner was the best for night shooting. :fire: Flames!
