    Kentucky or Tennessee

    Born, raised, and still work in Tennessee, but live across the line in Kentucky. I made the move up here five years ago. Bowling Green is a nice area with good restaurants , shopping and entertainment etc but I hate paying Kentucky income taxes. I’m not sure how that works with retirement...

    2021 Reloading Goals

    I will be casting in 2021. I just bought a huge casting lot with moulds, sizers and hundreds of pounds of lead. I also hope to purchase more components as they become available and prices return to some normalcy. David

    Which 9mm mold?

    I’m about to start casting. I’d like to get a 6 cavity Lee 9mm mold. Do you like the TC or RN. I’ve never loaded or shot the truncated cone. Loading for M&P pistols, shield and full size. Thanks David

    44 mag vs. 45 colt

    I can load 44 mag hot or light. The bullets are available in a wide range of weights. It seems my 44 mag can do anything the 45 colt could do. I have a 629-4 that I love. I’m thinking I want single action to load for, or maybe a big bore lever gun. Would the 45 colt give me something I don’t...

    1911 trigger replacement questions

    I have a basic Remington R1. It works fine , but the trigger is sloppy and feels too short. I’d like to install a long trigger. I’ve been reading and watching a few videos. I’m fairly confident that I can do the job. I do have a question though, do you recommend the pre travel adjustable...

    RCBS Rockchucker Single Stage Press Kit Or Lee Turret Press Kit

    Thank your wife and learn on the RCBS. You always need a single stage for something. Later after you are very comfortable loading , look for a Dillon 550. Just skip the turret. You will always wonder how much faster the Blue press would have been. The LCT is good, but it never got used after I...

    Turret or Progressive?

    Like the OP, I started with a single stage. I moved to the Lee Turret and liked it fine. I found a deal on a used Dillon 550 last year. I hardly ever used the turret again, and sold it to a new reloader last week. David

    Anyone selling bullets?

    Yeah a little terminology slip. I didn’t put too much thought in the title. Glad you caught that for me. I didn’t see how to edit the title or I would . Thanks for all the responses. I may put an add online and see what happens. David

    Anyone selling bullets?

    I’m a reloader and have a good supply of loaded rounds and components to make more. I’ve had a few guys tell me how scarce factory ammo is and what it is selling for. I would never sell or trade off any re loaded ammo, but am thinking about moving some un opened factory ammo that has been in the...

    CFE Pistol vs HS-6

    I run 4.8 of cfe with 125 gr coated lead bullets. OAL 1.125 I can’t seem to find my FPS data, but should be right around 1100. This was out of a 4 inch barrel M&P. I’ve never tried HS-6 David

    Remington 7 1/2 SRP

    I’ve only been using CCI 400 for my 223 loads shooting out of an AR. I’ve acquired a couple thousand Remington 7 1/2 small rifle primers. I’ve read that they are a magnum primer. I figure I should work back up to my load of 24.5 grains of TAC and a 62 gr bthp. Has anyone shot both primers and...

    Selling a Gun and People's Regrets: Why?

    I’ve only sold two. They were both sold to fund other guns. I made money one one and lost a little on the other. I sometimes miss them , but not enough to go buy an exact replacement. David

    Rock Island still the default for a 1911 on a budget?

    I have a basic Remington R1. It is a good gun, quiet accurate and malfunction free. I caught it on sale for 499. Though I like it, I find myself wishing it had some upgrades. If I had it to do over again I would want the extended beaver tail , long trigger, maybe better sights than three dot...

    Father passed away and giving me his guns. Need advice for novice!

    I’m sorry for your loss. I think it’s really cool that you are gonna spend some time with them and see how it goes. I think your dad would be proud. I know I would be if my kids were in the same situation. Good luck. David.

    How many of you grew up in a shooting/hunting family?

    For many years my dad hunted ducks, doves, quail etc.. The first time I ever fired a shot gun was on my first dove hunt around the age of 10. The noise hurt my ears , so dad actually stood behind me and held my ears. Dad took me hunting quiet a bit growing up. Though he had a couple pistols , he...

    What would you have LIKED to buy in the last 3 days but couldn't?

    Rifle powder from MidSouth. They have closed local pick up and I just can’t justify the hazmat and shipping charges when I drive by there. David

    If You Can Shoot On Your Property, I Am Jealous

    I say your blessed. I can’t shoot at my house. It’s on 1.3 acres but in a neighborhood. I do have 3 different private shooting spots available to me within 25 minutes or less. One day I hope to live on enough land to shoot at the house. David
